Is anyone else having issues with the O2 presale? I've been hit with 'no seats found' everytime.
Exactly the same for me. Tickets were obviously there and available. But, not showing when you select them. Very disappointed.
I pay five euro for my cinema tickets in a modern cinema and usually sneak in my own popcorn and drinks. Ireland O2 will be cheaper than London. I was just saying that going to a concert shouldn't cost £90. That price is for rich Barbara Streisand fans who have no taste in music. Factor in travel cost or hotel and you're talking £200 for an hour of music from Moz. I do realise I am lucky to be able to go, and I can live with the cost. A lot of people couldn't justify that cash outlay for such a short concert. As Roy Batty says: "moments lost in time ... like tears in rain".
With all these new dates I can't help but feel bad for those who got cancelled on in the US.
I'm feeling very sorry for myself, don't worry, hahaha. I'm very excited for all of these dates, though, and for everyone who will get to go (maybe me, though financing it is proving difficult). It just makes me happy to know that Morrissey will be on stage again.
I'm not very bright...but I just looked at the conversion of 90 quid to U.S. dollars. Wow. haha
$150 is in line with the cost of similarly-sized venues in New York, though (Barclays/MSG). And smaller, even—I just paid that much for Culture Club (don't judge, haha) at the Beacon Theater, which is 1/10 the size of the O2.
Anyone have an idea whcih is the smallest venue? The London O2 has a capacity of 'up to' 20,000 or something huge. Did Moz play to 20,000 at the MEN for 'Who put the M in Manchester?' I've never been to a stadium gig. Should I give the O2 a go? (I'm in London). And 90 quid does seem very expensive. I'd expect Bowie to be the support act for that sort of money.
No judgement here (though I am only familiar with the Culture Club's hit songs) but I don't know if I've ever paid more than like $75 including fees for a show, could be mistaken though. My first concert was seeing Fugazi for $5 and that unfairly set the bar for spending.
Needless to say though, we already know that we're probably going to have to shell out a good chunk of change to see Moz again, so I'm mentally prepared, but alas, that's why I can't travel/see multiple shows!
I remember seeing Morrissey for something like 20 Deutsch Marks in 1991. We all now that concerts have become so expensive over the years and why... And even few years ago I said: No concerts is worth more than 50 €...
To be fair though prices vary a lot this tour depending on nation and venue. Polish and Italian tickets are way cheaper than further up north (and west). Which is only fair taking into account the real purchasing power of different nations. Of course, it does not help those in richer countries who are struggling themselves.
Oh, the good old times...
