The shame of it is that if the tickets had been anywhere near reasonable, this run of shows could have really made me excited about the band again.

I would probaly have paid £75 for a guaranteed good seat, none of the hassle of having to turn up early, queue, stake out a good spot.... Would have been excited about seeing them indoors again.

When they opened the 02, everyone (myself included), justified the price by thinking of it as an event, a one-off, a special occasion. If they are plannign a long-residency, it would seem logical and reasonable that the prices would be slightly lower. Not twice as ****ing much.

I've absolutely spent my last penny on this band, who I have loved and followed for 20 years.
