It’s sheer madness to pay to see four middle aged tax avoiders fumble around stage.
U B 40 or older to attend
Coat please, platforms and pink shades to go. thanks
Unless you happened to like them and would really enjoy the show like, er, the buyers who bought all 50,000 tickets in 30 mins. It’s nice to be free to choose the music you like.
I think it’s safe to assume that most of those tickets will end up for resale and the majority of fans who genuinely want to go will emd up paying 4 or 5 times the face value. As usual.
What can you do, eh?

Easy to blame the touts but if people are stupid enough to pay over the odds for events…

Viagogo, Seatwave, Stubhub, Getmein – the corporate face of grubby tickettouting.
How do you resell your tickets in this case though?
I thought you need photo i.d. on the day?
That website says it’s only standing tickets that are paperless. Not sure if that’s true or not.
There are many people reselling their corporate/sponsorship tickets. There’s also some VIP club where 3 Arena guarantees you tickets. This also happens at sports events like sold out rugby matches.
The ID requirement only applies to standing tickets where you get no ticket and have to present the credit card used to purchase your spot. I
So what you’re saying is I could have bought seated tickets and flogged them off for a fortune???
Dammit I thought all tickets were of the paperless/credit card required kind.
Possibly but there is no guarantee anyone would actually buy them. You were only limited to 2 tickets anyway and those who really wanted to go got their tickets in the presale/general sale.
Well judging by the prices listed on Seatwave etc there is definitely a market. Man I wanna be a sleazy scalper, could have been a winter hollier sorted.
Got my tickets on Thursday. Painfully expensive, but oh dear me am I excited!
Oh Bono.
Bono.
