Olympia is 1300.

Next time I'm going to a ticket master outlet and getting tickets old school stylee. Is it true that they print out ten or twenty and sell them on to people as they come in in order to save themselves having to print them out individually? Makes sense.

Enjoy, everyone who's going. Saying that through clenched teeth.

The smart ones do. I've heard of a few places down the country that on mornings like this will ask the people queueing early how many they want and try to get them all printed before they start selling them to the punters.

This is true.

Seriously though do people actually still expect to get tickets for these type of things?

Would you not be better of buying 50 lotto tickets?

same odds of getting lucky

What's pissing me off, and yes this is gonna sound seriously snobby, is that most of the people I know who have tickets are people who actually wouldn't be able to name a Pixies song that isn't Debaser, Here Comes Your Man, or Monkey Gone To Heaven. Sad but true.

 

[bph]

I'll give someone face-value and a pint of my own blood for a ticket. PM me.

Well it's the Doolittle 20th anniversary tour so those purists deserve their tickets.

One of the lads who went with us to the National Stadium gig had no ticket. He paid £35 outside from a tout. Almost six times face value. We were shocked as it was two weeks rent at the time.

Wonder will anyone pay €300+ for tickets this time around.

 

[ann post]

they were 150 on ebay about 5 hours ago.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Tickets gone already?

I personally wouldn't pay over the odds to see any band.

i wasnt too upset about missing out on tickets cause im broke. but then i heard bone machine and thought, ah balls it. now im drunk and have been sending touts on ebay questions about their auctions.

so far ive gone with

'are you really a touting cunt or is that just your day job?'

'wow! what a great deal for tickets that cost 50 euro you filthy touting scumbag prick!

fair play senior cuntiballs!!!!>>???? zomg!!!!!!'

and to round things off for tonight

'how come you are selling 61 euro tickets for £235 after less that 24 hours since the tickets originally went on sale? have you had a prior engagement come along to mess up your pixies fun or are you just a filthy dity smelly cunty bollocksy bastardy piss face touty shit face mother bastard from hell who has no soul or sense of decency shit bags mother fuck fucky fucky fuck fuck fuck fucky face fuck fuck.'

ah jersis im not half wise at all. that new wilco is album is good too.

 

[Mix Tape Public]

Heh heh, excellent. Although you'll probably get banned from Ebay before they do. The filthy dirty smelly cunty etc....

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Don't touts just operate on supply and demand?

The true value of a ticket is tied to how many people want it, not what's printed on it.
If touts had bought no tickets the event still would all have sold out in seconds.
At least this way they're still available.


I would also like to say that it's still funny to go on Ebay locked and cunt out a bunch of touts.

ah, everyone that wants to go to a show should have an equal chance of getting a ticket at the same price. that's not going to be possible with the differences with buying online and people that have to queue up, but pricks buying up tickets just to sell on at a higher price doesnt help.

im sure this has been done to death tho.

it was embarrasing waking up realising id posted that. the first one doesnt even make sense. anyways.

i like frank black's screams.

 

[ann post]

the first one makes perfect sense.

Probably has been done to death.
I only changed my mind on the issue when I was able to afford tout's/re-seller's prices.

Yeah, first one should have been 'hobby' instead of 'day job'. I think the overall message got through though.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I have to say I haven't really listened to the Pixies since I was about 17 and haven't seen any of the reunion shows and not that pushed about this either.


but then again, if I hear bone machine today i'll probably start raging

I was gonna go to this but forgot to buy a ticket , don't care cause seen them in Landsdowne last time.I realized then how inconsistently one can mosh to them due to there slow/fast dynamic.This I believe is the reason Nirvana were more popular with the grunge plebes way back in the early 90's when the beer flowed like wine!
