I know I’ve got a Foo Fighters ticket for £7 at Leeds Cockpit for Dave Grohls first tour, post-Nirvana definitely a good handful of tickets from Eddies too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what people said on their forum where they’ve already bought pre-sale tickets they might be gold circle etc so there is still a small chance general tickets will be cheaper , but Springsteen £130 , Green Day £123 and rumour is £145 for AC/DC … seems to suggest the days of £80 to £100 have long gone Edited February 13 by tonyh29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tickets for Berlin are €160 according to those that got some .. so slightly cheaper but not significant in that regard I think ticketmaster and the artists are just greedy **** 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as I’m in London for Ty Segall the night before in Camden. Looking at this seat map from a fan club member , it might be £160 for gold circle standing area , hopefully the general Admission will be cheaper ..lets just hope its around £60 cheaper !!

Seat68 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 A reminder if you want to see Eddie Vedder gargling pebbles, you have to pre register with Ticketmaster, you can't just log on and try to buy tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bands being discussed here are in a position to afford the extra paperwork and expense of touring on a carnet. They can also better absorb losing a day's rig to customs officials actually checking that carnet. Stepping down from these stadium acts things change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 few years ago (2018 IIRC) PJ were £160 for the back row of the 02 so I checked out the continent and Rome was loads cheaper so we went to the Stadio Olympico instead. One of the best ideas MrsVM has ever had IMO. Best stadium gig I've been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders, Plini, 3 Trapped Tigers, Delta Sleep. And it's only 60-odd quid.... Farewell show for TTT as well so last chance to catch 'em. Absolutely do not sleep on Komfortrauschen if you go for the Friday, I'm flying out to Berlin next week just to see 'em (as I might be missing ATG this year). Friday has also got Maruja, Blackshape and Shy, Low who are all ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
