Paid Members Dead Mike Posted October 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Only ridiculous if someone's stupid enough to pay it. The market controls the price of these things, if someone's willing to pay a grand for gig ticket that's up to them. Seems a but stupid though seeing as the following (supposed) dates have just been leaked :- Â Thu 5 July Echo Arena, Liverpool Sat 7 July O2 Arena, London Sun 8 July O2 Arena, London Wed 11 July SECC, Glasgow Fri 13 July Slane Castle, Ireland Sat 14 July Botanic Gardens, Belfast Mon 16 July iTunes Festival, London Fri 20 July Espacio Movistar, Barcelona, Spain Sat 21 July Palacio de Deportes, Madrid, Spain Mon 23 July Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, Paris, France Wed 25 July Futurshow Station, Bologna, Italy Thur 26 July Datch Forum, Milan, Italy Sat 28 July O2 World, Berlin, Germany Sun 29 July Color Line Arena, Hamburg, Germany Tue 2 Aug Globe Arena, Stockholm, Sweden Wed 3 Aug Spektrum, Oslo, Norway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinky Dad Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 After wearing out the old Refresh button I managed to get 4 tickets this morning for me and my gang although after seeing the prices that some of these tickets are fetching I'm considering jibbing my mates off and going alone and making a mint in the process!

As you say, the market dictates the price.  However, I'm disgusted at sites such as GETMEIN, Viagogo & Seatwave. The later was originally created for fan to fan exchange when the fan couldn't make the date. That quickly was chucked out of the window. Ticketmaster (and others for that matter) are absolute scum though. You will try and get a ticket, it sells out within 20 seconds, then you get the second page saying words of the effect "no luck in getting tickets? Try our SISTER site GETMEIN". You go there and tickets are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 21, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2011 Even with ebay though, it's still scumbag touts playing with gig tickets like it's the stock market, instead of just letting people who actually want to go to the fucking gigs buy the tickets.

Â I agree, but the sites I mentioned have been made especially for ticket sales that are in cahoots with the companies that sell them at their original market price. . Ebay is a general auction site for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted October 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 I go to a lot of gigs & over the years I can count on one hand the number of shows I've not been able to get tickets for legitimately. I honestly don't think the Ebay touting problem is as bad as some people/the media like to make out. If it is a problem it could be easily fixed by the gig going public simply not buying tickets through Ebay, as soon as the touts start getting left with a load of unsold tickets or end up selling at a massive loss it'll stop.

Craig The Hunter Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Surely that's been a pisstake bid to bump up the price and leave it essentially unsold when no-one actually pays it. Quite how that works this far before the gig I'm not sure, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
