Killers worth £82 a ticket ?

[Heathblue]

[NYCBlue]

Nope.

[Croesy Blue]

Tickets to see live music in this country are just incredible these days. I don’t think any band is worth £80 for a couple of hours entertainment, and I quite like the killers.

I know popularity and supply and demand comes into it but **** me it’s ridiculous!

I saw gruff Rhys for £12 recently, much more reasonable.

[uncle bob]

I thought maddies parents were doing a talk show tour

[Zenith]

Are they ****!

[Jonny London]

Seen them a few times. Worth every penny. They'll sell out in a short time anyway so its irrelevant how much they are

[City123]

Noooooooooooooooo

[Wales-Bales]

Maybe on a good day .. it's not the original band that tour now though?

[Since64]

l guess they must be popular.lve been to drive by truckers .brian fallon and just bought tickets for Jason and the scorchers tickets no more than £25 not main strean l know but there again l dont think ive heard the killers

[Wales-Bales]

It would be OK if there was this kind of vibe going on..

I remember reading an article about inflation of various things and it compared a gig, a football match and a trip to the cinema. In the early 1970s they were all comparable in price for a couple of hours entertainment.
Now the cinema seems expensive if you're paying about a tenner, but the other two are several times more expensive.

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

Some cinemas have taken the hint and offer much cheaper prices. Showcase in town for example (Odeon is still feckin extortionate mind).
I wouldn’t pay £82 to see The Killers though. Saw them in 2009 at the CIA and they were great but I don’t think tickets were anymore than £30 for that.
Are they better now than they were then?

[stevo]

No band is worth £82 a ticket imho. Besides, I much prefer the smaller venues, such as Clwb Ifor Bach, where I often see bands I like for around a tenner.

[Malckent]

Yesssssssssssss

[Malckent]

Wouldn't any band or solo artist playing the castle charge the same amount? Seen them twice, real value for money.

Manics are playing Cardiff Castle the evening after and charging £43

[Zenith]

Catfish and the Bottlemen at the castle last year was around £35

There’s no reason for bands to charge £80, don’t forget this isn’t including booking fees and all that unneeded bollocks

[The Bloop]

Concerts have slowly been replacing record sales as an artists major source of income.
Illegal downloads, falling sales etc have all contributed and as a result, rising ticket prices are replacing the lost income.
£82 - is far too much though

[ccfcwelshlad]

Anyone need a pre-sale drop me a PM.

They went online yesterday; still available as of now.

It must be down to the cost of fuel!

Don’t need digs though, James Dean Bradfield only lives around the corner!!!!

Tickets to see live music in this country are just incredible these days.

I'm currently holding pairs of tickets for eighteen gigs between now and the end of the year. The most expensive by some distance are for the Chemical Brothers at the Motorpoint Arena in November. Those were £39.00 each.

Most of the tickets I've currently got range from between £5 and £15. For instance, I've got gigs at Clwb Ifor Bach tonight and Saturday. Those tickets were £12 and £7 respectively.

If you enjoy seeing successful, well-established acts in large venues, live music can be a really expensive hobby, but fortunately I very rarely got to such events as I seldom enjoy them. I love seeing up-and-coming bands in small venues and the tickets for those sort of gigs are almost always very cheap.

I guess you pays your money and takes your choice.
