Because it doesn't affect your experience at all.

You paid £200 to be sat in block A1, row Whatever.

You are still sat there regardless of whoever is sat next to you. You get what you pay for.

To be fair also, the view from these nosebleeds are pretty good in The O2. I havent got round to trying to get an upgrade so far as I enjoy the gig just as much up there, certainly gives a better view than the back row of the floor where I was for night 1.

Some people feel the need to pay whatever it takes to be under Jons nose. Id rather spend the same amount doing 7 shows in the upper tiers.
Lets not blame the people who bought them- I think the point has been made as there were so many unsold and these upgrades/reductions have had to happen. There were still plenty of very good floor seats empty that I could see from high up on my seats the other night.

What with the negative comments, the mentions in the press plus the unsold tickets I think they know they priced it wrong. Or it was always the intention to do this perhaps if there were spares? You can sell them expensive, make the profits then drop the price just fill up the arena up.

I think the pricing model seems to be right, just to expensive and at the wrong economic time. It did at least let me get some bargains on Ebay- £80 for 3 tickets, £70 a pair a few weeks back, even £20 for 1 ticket on the 8th! I think the new revised prices would have been the sensible starting point and probably around about what we will see next tour.

They may only be 4 & 6, but they love their BJ, Guns n Roses and even a bit of Poison.
Need to get some ear plugs though I reckon.

Oh and I meant 25th, not 26th.....

Just look at the cheap bastards coming out of the woodwork now.

I hope the band play Lost Highway in full on both the final nights. Acoustical. In German.
