I'm pretty sure the "it will not be televised" line was a play on this.

Which reports mate?

Surely there are other events that see a similar surge in traffic that don't make you wait 7 hours? Kim Kardashian's latest selfie, games being released in the run up to xmas etc? I can't ever recall Amazon or Instagram crashing / running exceptionally slow due to sheer volume of traffic...

Why do you think it took Ticketmaster so long to process the sales on Saturday? I appreciate demand was high, but you hear of tours selling out in 5 minutes, why did this take 7 hours? Surely Amazon, Meta or Google could knock up the infrastructure needed to sell tickets and handle the volumes...

Ticketmaster seem to essentially have a monopoly on big gigs in the UK. Seetickets and Gigsandtours are nowhere near capable of handling tours of this size. With no alternative, the consumer is getting absolutely fucked. It needs breaking up, absolutely appalling customer service, sky high...

"Dynamic" pricing.

Would you spend 50 dates in Fergurson's company for £100m?

I think they have totally underestimated it. If they wanted to cash in, they could have done 50 dates, they'd have sold out easily. Selling a few thousand tickets for double the price wouldn't scratch the arse of an extra 30 full stadiums.

What an absolute shit show this has been. They could have sold this out 10 times over, they've completely underestimated the demand and how to deal with it.

I've seen photos from that shoot, but some of them are new to me. Best take it up with the Mirror if you have any complaints.

There were going for £5 outside last time they played Heaton Park. But the difference is, they were flogging the arse out of it by then. They were coming off the back of 3 or 4 mediocre albums of diminishing quality and sales, and it was the same crowd who'd been following them for 15 years...

Rumours era Fleetwood Mac: Soft rock bedwetters or Essential to any self respecting pub jukebox?

Without the 0161, that could have been the best City kit of all time. Navy blue socks for the win.

Mate, this is a brilliant post. I came on to add the exact same sentiments you wrote in your last paragraph. You put it perfectly, so I'll just repeat it: "In terms of the Irish media, nationality means fuck all and I don't like the tone some on here take regarding that. They are parrots for...

At least 10 million by my estimate

I really liked Istanbul, but the total shambles of a transport network and the medieval barter system economy for taxis, food and drink, sadly means I’ll probably never return. I don’t mind a bit of a barter for taxis on holidays, it’s sometimes part of the charm and getting to know the locals...

30 minutes? We queued for 2 hours for the only available food option. The fan park at the stadium was split 80/20 in terms of beer and food respectively. Absolutely no queues for beer all day, leading them to sell out at 6pm. 2 hour queues all day for food and soft drinks, absolutely ideal...
