i'm sorry. but thats just too much.
£51.70 for 1 ticket..
nah. Not this time. I've been to see them every time theyve been on tour for the last 10 years.
I was at Oxford. An entire one day festival that only cost £35 and that was with Beck, Supergrass, Sigor Ros, Humphrey Littleton supporting. Radiohead played for their usual 2 and half hours.
Last year i was at Blackpool. In 2003 i went to see them 3 times, on their tours before and after the release of Hail To The Theif.
Victoria Park, yep i was there last time. Before that the OK computer tour. Early bends shows when i was very young.
I could go on.
Ive just been to the pre-sale on waste, and for my ticket total cost after handling, and postage, to come to £51.70 is a slap in the fucking face to me.
I'm fucking skint. I'm spent up. I just had to stop the transaction. Ive already forked out for My Bloody Valentine that week in June, i cant afford £51 right now. If i was from a affluent family i'm sure £51.70 it would be fine. I cant believe i'm saying this, after forking out for the $40 boxset, and after all the times ive seen them, but:
FUCK RIGHT OFF.
What has your size got to do with it?
But yeah, it's pretty bad. The most annoying thing about all of it is that they know people will pay it. I know that's just good business sense, but it seems to somehow irk me a little bit more than it should when it's a band like Radiohead
Fake Plastic Trees my arse
I just hope to god they don't play 'Let Down'
when they could be playing Electioneering.
you, sir, are wrong in the head
Why not...
Buy 2,3 or 4 tickets and sell them on ebay, the money you profit i imagine will more than cover the costs of your ticket
yes
and under new radiohead plans they will then get some of those profits back. everyone wins!!!11!!
i agree
mr cherry was prepared to pay for both of us to go at £40 but this is just too much.
actually i just had AN IDEA
i wondered where that
smell of burning was coming from.
are your loins on fire?
no i am NOT going to pimp you out!!
reckon that would cover the cost of the ticket?
:P
one of you is going to punch me for that aren't you? But look, there's a :P which makes it allllll ok.
dang we gonn' tag team yo' sorry a'se mo fo!
shiiiiiiiiitttt dawg shudunused that DAAAAAANG!!!
how much did you spend on their album?
how much did ANYONE spend on their album? btw.
i downloaded it illegally.
i'll buy it on CD when it comes out though.
Maybe
As they are outdoor venues in large surroundings they will be a few bands on, like one of those gigs that starts at 4 and finishes at 11 with a fair few decent/big bands.
one would
imagine so.
also, outdoor shows are more expensive to put on yet a million times better than arena ones.
really?
Are outdoor shows better than arena ones if its raining and really windy?
ah come on
don't just take the worst case - outdoors when sunny is fantastic, and some of my favourite gigs have been in the rain. Being in the elements rules.
Although wind's a fucker, granted. But some indoor venues have the most appalling sound.
so
setting up a load of speakers in a windy field is better than doing a concert in a specially-designed building with proper acoustics and everything? is it really?
" a specially-designed building with proper acoustics and everything"
somebody never went to the Docklands Arena.
I think
if that's what they were doing I would be happier at forking out £50, but the Waste site says 1900, which indicates a normal 1/2 support bands. Of course if it's Beck and Sigur Ros like Oxford that's another matter all together..
why download it illegally?
when you can download it for free legally?????
i was in a hurry
to leave for work and someone presented me with a sendspace upload link ;o)
ALSO
Radiohead won't have my name/details. That Yorke guy looks creepy, I don't trust him.
nothing.
but i once paid actual money for a cd that had killer cars on it.
the way i see it they still owe ME.
Killer Cars is brilliant
^trudat
one of my fave jonny solo's ever
^ reecefact ^
Just single?
pretty much the only radiohead release i own legally
*just cd1 if i remember correctly
£40 for a box set that hasn't turned up yet :@
i paid
£98 for two tickets thinking my gf would go 'oh cool, radiohead' and pay me back for one.
Turns out my girlfriend doesn't like radiohead as much as I thought.
Still, I doubt I'll have a problem selling it.
buy another one
sell it on ebay and then get her to make up the difference!!! ;)
Wow...
...you're cheap!
screw you
i've bought her loads of gig tickets this year. just not ones that cost £50.
yeah, you tell em!
through carelessness he loses his cow - misfortune!!!
I'm getting
bored of this already.
meh
one day they'll do a residency at a vegas casino at $200 a ticket. or not.
they don't sell their music for adverts and movies much do they? maybe they should. then ticket prices could go down with no impact on their private jet miles.
wishful thinking
Moby whores his music out to any advert that asks, but his gigs aren't any cheaper than yer average ticket for someone of his stature.
*Warning: this post may contain entirely unsubstantiated claims
i was kinda getting at how radiohead fans wouldnt want them to 'sell out' by doing stuff like that
but resent paying high ticket prices.
what it comes down to is: should radiohead be coining it in or do they owe the fans cheap tickets? personally i think it's their choice and if the fans don't like stop whining and go discover a newer band
They're really that good anyway...
e-mail them this
srsly
bought my tickets
it's pricey, but if the sound and atmosphere is good, it'll be well worth it.
hope the facilities
aren't organised by the same people who serviced Field Day
That's another point
Victoria Park? My memories of Field Day have 2 hour bar queues and people from the council stood by the speakers with decibel readers telling Jonny to turn his guitar down, right down.
Well i was looking forward to this tour,
but at those prices it's a no. Can't they do a student discount or something? Grrrr
well...
true enough, it is expensive but comparitively it's not really...
tickets for spice girls at the o2 are £75
brucey at the emirates for £57
bjork at hammersmith for £41
kylie at o2 for £49
6 nights of morrissey at the roundhouse for £180, i dunno what each night was on sale for individually
and these are all before any rip off handling and "special postage" fees are applied.
of course, the bigger the act, the more it costs by the looks of it which makes a lot of smaller gigs great value to be honest.
ps - i thought the south park gig was only about 21 quid face value?
go to the berlin gig..
it's 10quid cheaper, you get free travel to the venue, the venue looks pretty ace (kinda like an ampetheatre) + you'll be in Berlin!
admitadly it'll cost extra in the long run but it'd be one hell of a city break and you could pay for travel and stuff much later...
that's the worst money saving idea i've EVER heard
make a 10 quid saving on the tickets and spend shitloads more on flights, hotels and everything else...just loosen the fuck up and pay the £50 if you want to see them and shut the fuck up if you don't!!
Considering
Considering that trains to London are a good £30 the only extra thing for Berlin would be accommodation (no friends to crash on floors of). Add to it being a proper city break and seeing somewhere new, I like this idea.

help spread the annoyance
Fuck it..just click them and share the image.
have they sold out?
years ago
yeah, it's fucking ridiculous
It's like at the end of a Scorsese film: Thom Yorke walks away into the sunset before pulling at the skin just under their adam's apple. Grotesquely, the skin is in fact latex, and is peeled away to reveal his tragic and horribly ironic true identity; the smug, grinning face of Chris martin is exposed.
They seemed to be doing everything right up until now. I really don't know what's going on. And anyway, If they think their new material will work on such a scale, theyre sadly misguided. I'll go and see them when theyre doing multiple dates at smaller venues, and selling tickets for a sensible price.
Water Rats
in two years.
They've got to make a living
II meant to say in the first post
i guess i'll just go see them another year. It just seems weird NOT going to see them after going to see them on every tour. Ive calmed down about it now, after all i did see them last year. Abd there is the chance of glastonbury im holding out my cash for.
But £51.70 for one ticket is ridiculous/ no two ways about it.
Id pay it if i was of financial welll being, but im really really not that guy.
I'd feel just as bad if the tickets were £25 and i had to buy one off ebay for £52.00 from a tout. Actually n, this is worse. Radiohead are touting there own tickets. At least give a fucking months warning of when tickets are going on sale so i can afford it when it comes round.
