Oasis reunion

[BlueHammer85]

Paul Heaton at CO-OP £35
New Order at wythenshawe £61
Manics/Suede at castlefield £60

all those are better bands than Oasis and charged appropriately.

if they got the demand Oasis has then they wouldn't be those prices. it's supply and demand as always.

I’m not paying that much. Don’t care how much I love their music.

There’s more than enough people with more than enough money to sell out at all venues on all nights so they’ll say it’s a justified price, but I think that’s an unreasonable price for people on much more meagre wages to afford.

It was only £60 to see Noel at Wythenshawe Park last year and £80 for Liam at Co-Op Live a few months ago.

I’ll wait and see if anyone’s offloading them on the cheap nearer the time - people who end up on holiday or at a wedding or ill so can’t go. Always is for these sort of things.

So put the two individual amounts together and it’s perfectly priced…

Come off it. They aren’t better than oasis.

If they were as popular or better they’d be charging more money

musically they are very much better and many music fans will agree output wise they win hands down, comercially they are not as good as Oasis at PR.

of course, from their first reported punch up on a ferry to ostend in 91 they have publicised themselves brilliantly, and are a comercial wonder, still when I pick put one of my many vinyls to casually listen to Oasis are never first pick over Suede/housemartins or beautiful south/pulp/manics/ doves/ the coral/james and many more.

Those prices (if true) are pretty much what I expected and aren’t that outrageous considering the general price of concert tickets these days.
Certainly won’t put me off.

Exactly. When you factor in the costs of putting the shows on I think it's pretty fair. Ain't cheap to put those stages up and keep the lights on. Will be doing the last show on the Saturday. They'll have ironed out any kinks by then hopefully!

You say all that as though it’s a fact when it’s just your opinion.
Pretending Oasis are only successful due to marketing and PR is pretty laughable.

So just your personal choice then? That’s cool, that’s what’s great about music. Something out there for everyone.

How much should the Hallé charge then? :-)
