...for a Fleetwood Mac ticket???

I love the band but I'm not paying that (says the guy who spends too much on bikes).

That is all.

    Have a look around you and see how many people have "acquired" electronic versions of music.
    There is no money to be made from recording music any more.
    Just a theory. Not a justification for the price.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    I agree to some extent as my second job i.e. the fun job, is in the ‘music business’ so I’ve seen the effects of the digital movement first hand, but this is a simple case of ripping fans off. I suppose if you’re a diehard Mac fan then you’ll probably be happy to hand over the cash but come on...these guys are multi, multi millionaires who are doing a huge world tour.

    I'm assuming Christine McVie is still not back in the band, despite Mick Fleetwood hoping that she'd tour, otherwise they'd probably charge even more. I agree it is very expensive - they are Mrs Biggins' favourite band, but I wouldn't pay that much for a ticket and she wouldn't either. No doubt there will be a DVD somewhere along the line too.

    If you do get a ticket they will probably send directions. I'd ignore these and Go Your Own Way.

    No, you're thinking of Formula One.

    Be grateful it isn't the Stones. What were they? £224 starting price? :shock:

    Maybe you have not have seen their houses on MTV Cribs. They're not living in poverty.

    However, Fleetwood are playing at Bestival in September and those tickets are £249. Not saying it's cheap but if you were seeing other artists as well it's more reasonable

    A wee bit of selective post reading there? :wink:
