If I had known you had these Steve I would have had them mate.
It is a fair price for their last night at £125 each, I just got lucky on a pair so bought them for Fiona and her mate, but think they were £95 each anyway, face value, so paying £30 extra for something people are getting £400 extra for is nothing.

Some people need to lighten up a bit, they are worth what people will pay.

exactly right mate!

Live concert from one of the most impressive bands ever, and even I have to admit I liked their last album, it is their final night of the tour and it could be the last ever concert they ever do together for all we know, how is £125 over the top for a night out seeing something like that?!

I missed out on tickets to see him at The Royal Albert Hall when he did his Swing When You're Swinging night, they were serious money for the pair and I decided it was too much, however, when the DVD was released I was gutted that I didn't go as it looked to be a cracking night.

I don't like his solo stuff by the way, but that cover album is amazing.

Are you forgeting its "Take That" theyre talking about? Who really gives a shit about a manufactured boy band or have you been sucked in by the sales hype?
And I take it you mean "band" in the loosest sense of the word

They are hardly manufactured these days, some of the best songwriting you will ever get.
They said the same about The Beatles remember, all modern pop nonsense that will never stand the test of time.

They may not be 'cool' to like but they deserve all the praise they get imho.

I have never sat down with one of their CDs, but whenever I hear a new track of theirs it always impresses.

But then what do I know? I only listen to classical, Jazz and EDM.

oh come on your just being silly now comparing that drivel to the beatles???

Are you for real? They bloody sing in morrisons adverts!

Well Barlow was voted by the industry as the UKs greatest ever song writer, knocking McCartney and Lennon off the top spot, the stuff that guy has written for the band and other people like Shirley Bassey is excellent.

As I say, not my music but they are very good at what they do.

Yeah cause AC/DC are the epitome of cool!!

They make YMCA look positively manly!

You seriously telling me the one that likes to dress up as a little boy in a school uniform doesn't play for both sides?? C'mon!
I bet you swore Freddy Mercury was a royalist too?

KadeSdad · 06-30-2011, 01:37 PM

Jesus....how old do they look now

isn't the one with white hair in Status Quo!

Ironic as the 'kid' in the shorts surname is 'Young'

gIzzE · 06-30-2011, 01:39 PM

I managed to find an early pic when they were cool....

Oh, no, still look like cunts!!

gIzzE · 06-30-2011, 01:40 PM

I preferred it when the one in the uniform used to do that kids show, what was it called again??

KadeSdad · 06-30-2011, 01:43 PM

Before, Angus on the left

And now

Think you lot are missing the point.

If it was one of your favourite bands, football team or whatever, a once in a lifetime opportunity to see them for £125 is fuck all.

Whether you like them or not is besides the point.

I went to see TT on Monday at Villa Park..... brilliant!

14th time for me

Haha good man.

Just realised that all those moaning, ie. Kerr, jabroni80, JJD all have something in common......

Say no more, anything that doesn't come free when you collect 3 Iron Bru ring pulls is classed as expensive up there!!

Actually, that was said with tongue firmly in cheek, but I wonder if location does make a big difference to perceived value of things like concert tickets?

My local pub is around £40 a head for a meal in the bar area, go down to London and some places are double that, go up north and you will pay around 1/3 less, get up to Scotland and you can get a cracking meal for around half.

What you pay for a normal night out must change your perception of nights out at things like concerts?
