Costello was late for his headline performance at the University of East Anglia on Wednesday 25 May as he'd been watching Liverpool - the team he supports - win the Champions League. Fans booed him when he finally took the stage, and some left after Costello reportedly reacted with swear words.
Ticket holders that left early were hoping for some reimbursement, but Costello ruled that out, saying: "Those who've asked for their money back should stay at home reading their cookbooks over a nice cup of Horlicks, while listening to their K-Tel collection of Punk Rock classics."

fromone liverpool fan to the other I was booked to play a gig that night and it coincided with extra time thankfully and finised in time for the penalties - needless to say no-one was watching us!
Re: Elvis refuses to reimburse fans after Champions League delay
This doesn't make any sense. Do you mean the LAST train back?
Re: Elvis refuses to reimburse fans after Champions League delay
oh yeh, i think costello is a cunt for doing that. you do not pay £25 for a 30 minute set(which is what happened), if he didn't wanna play he should have cancelled.

Old people complain too much.

probably doesnt even realise that a lot of people actually have to get trains back after gigs and that they usually finish at about 11.

I don't think a refund should have been offered no, but an apology would have been in order. He showed a total lack of fucking respect for his own fans. I hope those sams fans shun him in the future, its the least he deserves for that outrageous statement!
Fucking short arses cock!!!

it's almost as bad as having to wait 4 hours for Karl Kennedy to come onstage.

Erm.
I think it's a bit of a cheek, you'd think he could have at least let them announce that there'd be a late start, or re-scheduled the gig when he found out Liverpool were in the final.
I do find it weird though, when people go on about the "last train" Why go to a gig and miss the last 4/5 songs as a lot of people do? You can't really complain in that situation. If you want to go to a gig, make sure you can go to it, otherwise you'll just sit there worrying about missing the train all night and you won't enjoy it. I know not everyone lives in London and can get night buses back home at whatever time they want, but it's just strange. Even if it was a band I really liked, I'm not sure I'd want to go if I knew I was gonna miss the end.

Re: Elvis refuses to reimburse fans after Champion
What the fuck?
Did it ever occur to you that maybe people want to see the bands they like so much that they're prepared to only see half the set, but would prefer (if trains ran a bit later) to see the whole set. I mean for fucks sake, you seem to be suggesting that you should only go to a gig if you can see the whole thing. For a lot of people that would mean not going to any gigs.

Football is football (and full over over paid, over inflated ego twats) and music is music and ne'er the twain should meet... sort out your loyalties Elvis.... (and can I use your description here matt?) ... you irrelevant old twat.

I like him a lot. Oliver's Army and all that. But this has made me rethink any respect I give him.

As someone who doesn't live within walking distance of any venues, I can appreciate the need for a timely and concise performance....there's nothing worse than having to leave early cos you're going to miss the last bloody train from london (which seems to turn into a slow moving bus two out of three times anyway)......I wanted to see a back in twickenham, but would have had to leave at 9.30 thanks to the shitness of the public transport in this Cuntry......

I'd have been furious too, if I'd have been there.
