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? :-)

I never said that though, did I?

it was put to me thry generate more interest so were better, I just said along with talent they promote themselves as cultural icons also.

never said they were not good musically, just not £80 better than suede the manics or New order

But they are £80 better to some people.
I wouldn’t bother jumping on a plane, spending hundreds on a hotel and hundreds on a tickets for a few days for any of the acts you mention.
It’s all relative.

Stop the celebrations – Oasis are the most damaging pop-cultural force in recent British history | Simon Price

Dismal lyrics, plodding tunes and prehistoric political views: why is everyone so happy that the Gallagher brothers are back, asks Simon Price

www.theguardian.com

Look how angry this fucking freak from the Grauniad is that the British working class are happy about something.

I stopped reading at, ‘It’s no coincidence that Oasis are the band of choice for flag-shaggers and Reform voters’.

When the hypocrite, not a dozen words earlier, bemoans the Gallaghers’ use of the words ‘snowflake’ and ‘woke’.

Using his own words; Hint: when anyone uses the words ‘flag shagger’ as an insult, they’re immediately emblazoning other words across their own forehead, which also begin with an ‘f’ and an ‘s’.

Just another bitter weasel from the swathes of bitter weasels in society who hate white straight working-class Jack-the-lads who aren’t quite PC (certainly not two decades ago). They’d love to see us never have a single moment’s enjoyment for the rest of our lives.

No surprise it’s the Grauniad though - they’re the biggest set of City hating cunts in the entire media world.

prefer the Mozarteum of Saltzburg personally ;-)

Well of course it is, £148 to me is overpriced, the fact many bands are pushing back on the post covid gig rip off prices many promoters have charged it would not have been hard for them to follow suit.

Though it probably is more SJM setting these prices and creaming a lot off the top.

It's £100 to see my team lose 4-0 on Saturday for 90 minutes.

I agree to an extent but they are going to strike while the irons hot.
These gigs were always going to be a sell out at whatever the price.
I imagine there will be many like me who will go to this as a one off.
I’d be unlikely to do another gig of theirs unless they produced a new album that got me excited.

 

[ballbag]

If they were doing nothing but Definitely Maybe from start to finish, I'd be after a ticket for this. Good luck to you all when they go on sale, though. I remember how chuffed I was when the Mondays (kind of) reformed.
