Notebooks out, plagiarists...

 

[cephalopod]

The smugness of the prices, the sense that Tom Waits music is somehow rarefied and worthy of such a wallet raping charge is sickening, and the way in which it isolates a huge section of his fanbase who no more could drum up €116 on a credit card just like that is just brutal. The audience will be filled with self-satisfied nob-jockeys too. I'd prefer go see Richie Kavanagh if he was playing the same night.

Ah that's a pity. I would like to have gone to see him but I'm not gonna pay that kind of money for to see him and they'll still sell out in a fifth of a nanosecond.

The majority of his fanbase would skew that little bit older and financially secure, I'd guess. They're probably well-capable of lashing a ton on the credit card. Getting on a bit has some benefits.

Plus it's all about what it's worth to you. Richie Kavanagh will likely be playing again soon, Tom Waits comes every 20 years or so.
Some people would rather spend €140 and go see Celine Dion in Croker. Each to their own.

Yes, it's expensive, but some things are worth it now and then.

he's not playing the same nights.
personally i think Richie kavanagh is one of those smug fuckers who can afford to go and has planned his tour dates around Tom Waits's Irish gigs.

its a big Conspiracy Cephlapod!

Who's looking after his little chipper van while he's off galavanting?

 

[thisgreg]

Yeah it is expensive, but on the plus side that is a deterrent for people who'd just like to have a look. I've waited a long time for this, was going to travel to amsterdam on his last tour, but tickets sold out in a fifth of a nano second. Considered buying one through a tout but with tickets, flights, accomodation and what not you we're looking at nearly €700 for a night away. So right now i'm more than willing to pay this, tom waits is one of the very few people out there that i'd be willing to pay this much for, it's possibly a once in a life time chance. I guess it just depends how much you are into him.

I'm actually thinking of going to see him in Milan or something like that.
Cheap flights, mightn't be too bad.

I guess it just depends how much you are into him.

... and on how much money you actually have.

 

[classic seanc]

I think these ticket prices will sorely disappoint Toms fan base of hobo’s, drifters and no good dope fiend kerb crawlers. They thought Tom was on their side.

 

[thisgreg]

... and on how much money you actually have.

yeah true, but I think we all had the slight hunch they wouldn't be fifty euro. if i didn't have the money for a ticket for this i'd be begging, borrowing and pretty much doing what i need to get the money together.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Greg, can I be your date for this?

 

[rettucs]

yeah true, but I think we all had the slight hunch they wouldn't be fifty euro. if i didn't have the money for a ticket for this i'd be begging, borrowing and pretty much doing what i need to get the money together.

would you sell your body though? Thats the true test of how much you want to go
