They weren't giving any shits at all . At one point the lead singer was looking at his phone.. The crowd weren't interested either.

slasher Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Was at Gerry Cinnamon last night and he absolutely killed it 👍 I also enjoyed the Vistas and Travis were brilliant. One of the best stadium gigs I’ve been at and I generally have found these a letdown 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to try and get tickets for Springsteen at Murrayfield and one of the worst gigs I've ever been to was there (Oasis). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather a smaller venue than a stadium or big indoor arena. Just looked at price of Springsteen tx. At the minute, it's I like him but not quite that much!

Toepoke Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Stadium gig ticket prices should be capped, no way are you getting the same experience as seeing an artist in an indoor venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted , my only 2 previous musical Hampden experiences were George Michael and Take That so probably not a fair judgement 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you some sort of pre general sale priority list? The cheapest tickets I'd seen were about three times as much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that Ticketmaster seem to be making it a lot harder to see the entry level prices and the default will be to show you Platinum tickets or hotel packages etc and it's a bit of a faff to get it display cheaper tickets. It was the same when I was buying Paolo tickets the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilser Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Got my Springsteen tickets for Murrayfield and am also taking in Dublin and Copenhagen, as I'm convinced this'll be his last huge tour. Such a shame that by the time the gigs come round the gap since his last European tour will be 7 years - he'll have gone from age 66 to 73, which is a fair chunk of time to lose for someone who thrives on doing big live shows. There used to be a big Springsteen following on the TAMB - do Stapes or deecee ever post these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about aging stars, my wife and daughter have tickets for Elton John. By the time they get round to seeing him it will be about four years since they bought the tickets. He's not always looked in the best of health recently. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you meant £250-£350? That does remind of me how much gig tickets have inflated though. I remember going to see David Bowie at the SECC in the 90s, decided at the last minute. Morrissey had been billed as special guest but he'd pulled out in the huff over something so they were offering a full refund. I turned up at the box office where there was a massive queue, but soon realised it was folk wanting their money back. There was an empty kiosk selling tickets next along, the woman seemed astonished "you actually want to buy a ticket?!!" The reviewer in the Record the next day had also interviewed some of the people queuing for refunds, and the quote that's always stuck with me was "Bowie's ok but he's not worth 25 quid".
