Sorry mate, but spending time on on a blog isn't my thing, and it doesn't make me less of a 'dedicated' fan, either, whatever you may say.kjek1 wrote: Common sense says that the folk who spend time on his blog are really dedicated fans, so they take a chance and give a small number of them a presale code ( and as I understand it, it really is a small number ), it means good seats are definitely going to big fans. Then you get the general presale code where people will simply pass it around to everyone like they did last time, and that's perfect for touts and what not. I mean surely you can see the logic in the way it's done even if it's not perfect?
By your own words, you consider those that do 'big fans'? Get over yourself. People far older and wiser than you or I are "big fans", and perhaps they (like me) have not a lot of interest in contributing to a blog. The fact that they have been following PF and the offspring for many moons makes no odds.
You really come across as a guy who see himself as more deserving...and for that, I'm sorry.
Thanks to another genuine fan (blogger or no blogger), I received the pre-sale code and bought three tickets - one for myself and partner, and one for the guy who I sold a spare ticket to for the Brighton show.
He's young - never seen PF, Gilmour or Waters (until Brighton), but he's the biggest 'fan' I've met.
I'd rather give someone like that the chance to go and see what he's always wanted to see, rather than be a little 'my preciousss' about seeing someone that those 'dedicated fans' (like yourself) have surely seen before.
Be happy for folk to pass on the baton, enjoy the gig, your front row seats, and stop the fuck whinging.
