The 'Paid Extortionate Prices But Am Going To The O2 Shows' Thread

Heres an idea, when they singing WFTWM we all sit down and Boo and slow clap This might get our point across.

You're gonna have to tell that to the Millionairres on the front row

the thing is that it will be after everyone had shelled out

I think people not buying tickets would show the fans aren't happy rather than booing.

People are buying tickets so they will continue to charge ridiculous prices for them as they know people will buy no matter what the cost.... As prooven this morning.

Not buying tickets is the only way to get the message across, trying to ruin a song while you are there is just wasting your own money and inconsiderate to people who are there.

At the end of the day, its just businesses for them.

1 Twickenham Stadium = 5 O2 Gigs in Terms of Paying Numbers so Ticket Prices have been hiked to ensure same income is being got from a smaller venue.

Let's face it, these 5 dates are going to sell out. If they can run 5 or 6 Stadium shows in the UK at 500,000 people, filling 100,000 in the O2 over 5 nights is small in comparison and I bet another 5 to 10 dates are added.

The band have to put out the same effort for 5 shows for a 5th of the income, so prices have been increased to compensate.

I don't condone the high prices, but for all the moaning, they will sell out as I have seen for the past 5 years. I only come on here at times of ticket problems, and I have got used to bending over and being shafted, so why should this year be any different. I'm 12 Rows from the front, I paid my money, I got shafted again, but that is the norm for me now, and I'm just coming to accept the fact.

I know what you mean, however, you can't be doing this when you are singing songs about working for the working man, and saying that you acknowledge the hard times people are going through. To be honest, although Jon is a business man (no doubt) I think what has really happened to him is that he has become cut off from real life, and no longer really understands how it works and what it consists of.

Ive got tickets in B3 for £75, not bad tickets for the price, as you can get tickets in Block 109 for the same price.

I was going to go multiple nights but at that price no way, i was even debating whether to go at all.

Lost Highway Tour - #1 Grossing Tour of last year.

Wonder why. No doubt that The Circle Tour will be #1 again.

Exactly the same mate, £85 inc. booking fee mind.

Don't get me wrong, although i expected it to be around £60 as it's a residency, i absolutely don't mind paying £85 to see them...

However £85 to sit at the very back of the O2 is ludicrous. Been there a few times now and it's great, but block B3 is the back corner.. it'll be miles away.
