With ticket prices from fifty quid upwards. I’m in the minority probably but I really don’t see £50 as unreasonable at all for a night’s entertainment like that when you compare it to the cost of other leisure activities.

elhombrecito Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 “We’ve worked closely with Bristol Bears to ensure that this event won’t have any impact on the playing surface should the rugby club achieve a home semi-final in the Gallagher Premiership." Good luck with that, as any if there is a play-off game to be played, it would be three days after this gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In comparison 90 minutes of football is 30 quid. If I'm able to secure tickets I'll be making a whole day of this, starting on the harbourside and making my way down stopping at all the pubs on the way.

Agree with you that fifty quid isn't unreasonable, but when you consider pitch standing is seventy quid, if you were 15 or 16 and wanted to go with a few school mates, it might be beyond the average youth to get the coins together.

Hot Fuss was pretty much the soundtrack of my teenage years, topped off by seeing them smash the Friday night pyramid stage at Glastonbury in 2004. Big band to get down the gate.

I remember they went off before the encore and the crowd started singing ‘I’ve got souk but I’m not a soldier’ over and over and they came back on and Brandon Flowers said ‘hold your horses’ and they finished with All These Things I’ve Done. It was amazing seeing a band at their absolute peak in such a small venue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get my coat ) This is a huge result for Ashton Gate and I think we can safely say we have established ourselves as a top concert venue. I remember you........your the guy who thinks that veganism is all down to a placebo effect, and now your calling The Killers one of the best bands in the world?............I definitely think we move in different circles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
