Fairbairn Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 35 minutes ago, Toepoke said: 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". Bowie played The Barras 25 years ago today and it was 15 quid a ticket!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
