Just saw the sunshine underground are doing a gig in Leeds next summer, gutted i missed out on their farewell tour years back so just bought a couple tickets. Hard-Fi, white lies, the futureheads, the twang playing as well, my dream line up as a 16 year old, buzzing.

 

Used to live round the corner from Kirkstall Abbey, be some day that. Might have a look myself!

System of a Down, thanks to friends at work being under 2000 in the queue. I was 28000 before getting kicked out and rejoining at 45000.

 

£150 for some pretty average seats though.

 

I've always paid the asking price as you only live once but it's nearing my breaking point.

Ive seen them a couple of times before so bailed at that price.

Priced out, don’t care how good your visuals are £100 notes is insane.

Couldn't care less about visuals, probably why this band doesn't interest me at all...hugely popular though.

got them for Berlin instead. Hotel, flights and tickets (wed-Fri) £350 all in.  Ticket gen standing was 100 euros. 

 

The british dynamic pricing doesnt seem to have reached Germany!

I've a feeling that's due to EU law.

Gorillaz in Manchester.

 

Originally wanted Birmingham but entered presale hell yesterday morning in a queue that wasn't moving or being repeatedly suspected of being a bot on AXS. So resorted to snatching a pair for Manchester. 

Only for 1000's of tickets to become available in the afternoon, a presale issue I assume. 

 

Anyone know if people have issues with the BP Pulse Arena/Old NEC. I've booked a few things at Co-op Live in Manchester primarily because of the dates and they have sold out really quickly, but when I have looked at the same artists playing in Birmingham there always seems to be plenty of tickets left. I haven't been there in a long time.

NEC parking charges and the fact its out of the city will put people off i imagine. It was £24 to park the last gig i went to!

Birmingham in general has an issue with selling tickets, for some reason. We are often the last City to sell out on tours. Most likely down to our larger venues being terrible.

 

I'm going Gorillaz in Manchester too, looking forward to checking out Coop Live. Heard good things since the early teething problems.

This has potential :beer:

Thankfully decided to go see Sigur Ros at the royal albert hall with a full orchestra tonight instead of watching the game. Absolutely unbelievable, probably the best music performance ive ever seen

I was there too. Really enjoyed it for what it was. I probably enjoy their heavier side more though.
