Haha. I was running late last time and the show started exactly at the time it said on the ticket!! I guess that was not the opening time of the venue!!

?50 is quite reasonable i feel if you considor what some other artists charge.

The one thing i hate about this is that you have all the scummy little creeps who have somehow bought up the good tickets and are now selling them on ebay at rediculous 'but it now' prices.
I didn't bother buying any tickets as i felt so pissed off at applying online an hour after they went on general sale and all i could get were tickets in the stands.

How stange too that we all wait almost fourteen years for the bugger to actually come out and do some live shows again and all of the sudden, you get the chance to see him three times in three years !

Tell me about it!!

I wish I had the kind of buying power to stockpile tickets and then sell 'em on eBay or something like that... of course NPF members would get certain concessions... erm... any suggestions?

Infact, the NPF could set up some sort of deal and block buy a load of great tickets to distribute through the forum. We'd all have to pay the ticketed price, but atleast then we'd have a better chance of getting premium seats.

It's enterprising, but ultimately it's only the fans that lose out. I bet Robdog Roger's rubbing his hand with glee.

I wonder what glee actually sounds like when you rub your hands in it, and how much do you need to completely cover your hands with it?

Money, get away.

Gloopy, hmmm I think we're getting there. Gloopy is certainly on the right lines.
