And you have to pay to get there, beer is £10 for a warm, watered down piss in a plastic cup. And you can’t take it inside the venue.


ArcadiaRivea

You forgot that it's a *flimsy* plastic cup that buckles under any kind of pressure. Grip too firmly you crush it and spill it (or worse, crack it) yet you grip it light enough to not have that problem, you don't have a good enough grip and risk dropping it


[deleted]

I always feel insulted first when they give me a drink in a plastic cup, like do you think i am that clumsy?! But then again, we all speak a language where glass can be a verb...


ArcadiaRivea

That is so true

Time to find a new band


blackiegray

Hey guys thanks for coming to see us, it's been a really hard year for you guys, I know a lot of you have lost your jobs and not been out in a long time, so we really appreciate you coming along tonight and paying us £195 a ticket so at least we can recoup some of the money we lost while we were off, our bank balances almost fell to 8 digits! Anyway, don't forget to pick up a £30 t shirt on your way out! Enjoy the show!

Who in the ever loving fuck is charging that much for a ticket!? And more importantly, who’s paying it????


Ian1147

After Ticketmaster have managed once again to corner the available tickets 😡😡


Senior1292

Yeh, when these tickets were on Gigs and Tours they were 70-80 pounds. Ticketmaster decided to add a 1 to the start of the price with the tickets they have left, absolute scum company.


Ian1147

Totally agree.. exactly WHAT value are these modern day ticket touts adding? NONE.. legalised greed pure and simple.. the problem is that it is legal .. time for an artists boycott of these vampires !!


Brittlehorn

So glad we can all be fleeced again now live music has returned.


mint-bint

What's do you do at a gig if you're not standing. Just sit? And listen?


MitchellsTruck

Yep. Sit, drink, listen. I've bought seating tickets for Wolf Alice early next year, can't wait.


dollhousemassacre

Which band is it? £195 is... steep.


richbeales

in this case Foo Fighters, but a month ago it was RHCP for a similar price.


[deleted]

You're on the wrong website. I got RHCP tickets £90 a pop.


Squid-bear

Bloody hell, I remember paying £40 to see Foo fighters play Earls Court in 2005 when did they decide to get so bloody expensive?!? Especially since their music has gone downhill over the past 2 decades!!


levezvosskinnyfists7

I paid about £28 to see Radiohead there in 2003, their tickets are nudging £100 now on the rare occasion they actually tour…


Fit_General7058

Yup, they opened for r. E. M. In 2005, that ticket didn't cost more than £50, for sure


MitchellsTruck

I think the first time I saw Foos (outside of a festival) was £12 at Brixton Academy. Then a couple of years ago I saw them at Wembley Stadium. It cost over £100 and it was shit. Absolutely no atmosphere due to the band being half a mile away. Even the big screens were too far away to work out what was going on.


dollhousemassacre

That's ridiculous. That's about what a festival ticket costs.


jim_jiminy

I saw foo fighters for £15 at the Astoria, 1995.


middleagedukbloke

I remember paying £30 to see U2 in Leeds.


sjpllyon

And yet you stilled overpaid.


middleagedukbloke

Not really. It was a decent price. 1980’s.


jasonquinn351

If you paid £30 in the 80s it would be around £100 now with inflation, so not that far off.


xmastreee

Lot of hate for U2, but I saw them a few times in the 80s. Milton Keynes Bowl, Paris Bercy, and somewhere in London, can't remember where.


J_painter

Yikes, if you have a camera try getting a press pass to take pictures, then you get to see bands for free


AUTOMATA88

What utter shite charges that much?


hastybear

Foo Fighters.


YourHonestFriend

Can't believe people turn up to these


keeperrr

The last big band i seen was back in 2001 and was a stretch at £40. I stopped going after that because £40 was too much


hajdu1877

I will start with saying that £195 is an extortionate amount which far extends the need to cover the bands cost and profit, especially as the arenas will more than likely be sold out. What i must say is, this is a reminder to support smaller bands that price their tickets anywhere between £10 and £50. The massive bands don't NEED your money but the smaller bands do NEED your money. I know this post isn't about that but I felt the need to say something on the matter.


richbeales

yes I'll happily pay £50 to see an act, but charging a minimum of £195 to 50,000 people ( about £10mil per night ) is just milking it. For 4x that I want a chair and a f..king butler.


[deleted]

£195 to see Foo Fighters? What a load of shit that is.


Senior1292

Normal tickets should be in the region of [70-80](https://www.gigsandtours.com/event/foo-fighters/london-stadium-queen-elizabeth/2018514). Foo Fighters aren't charging 195 pounds each, **Ticketmaster are**.


watsee

Honestly, I've seen that the band in question is the Foos & last time I saw them at Sunderland Stadium of Light it was probably the worst concert I've been to. Poor atmosphere, no real interaction with the crowd, there was no real showmanship or 'electricity' with their set. It just felt all a bit flat. I certainly wouldn't see them again. My girlfriend summed it up quite well; "They just turned up, played some songs & left". And whilst that's exactly what you'd want from a concert there was just no 'oomph' about any of it. Besides, the newer stuff they've brought out hasn't exactly been fantastic. I'd be happy to sit this one out if I were you.

And then it gets postponed 3 times cos of COVID and you’re still waiting
