42nite Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Yeh, his voice might have gone, but he can still rock that piano! Him and his band put on a fantastic show, Ashton Gate will be rocking...better tie the Dolman down! Last chance to see this superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nongazeuse Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Well I bought some tickets and thanks to those who highlighted the offer - my email was in junk mail so hadn't seen it. Despite some people's negativity he has written and performed some absolute rock classics and I'm looking forward to the concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DingleRed Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Just went direct to Ticketmaster and they are offering cheaper tickets for American Express card holders than City Season Card holders as presales. Bit of a con really because you may find cheaper tickets get released on Wednesday morning - albeit pot luck whether or not you get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Robin Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Can we get a discount if we buy a yellow brick for his little road that he's building? £162! Someone is making some serious money or they're spending too much on pyrotechnics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the cheaper end of some of their gigs. VIP tickets for the Who or FM, not sure may have been both, were around the £600 mark. Last gig I attended was the Who at Ashton Gate. Called in the ground at about 11.am. and got tickets for me and the wife on the pitch. Can't remember how much they cost though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semblar Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 bought four as my missus and her mate from work are big fans. £99 each is a serious chunk but the upper Lansdown are at least decent seats and I know the view from the STs. Best value I think I ever paid was £60 each for 2001 at Slane Castle (U2's "homecoming" concert, supported by chilli peppers and coldplay before they were really big, plus a chunk of other decent artists)... followed by the B&B landlady waiting up to take us to the local pub to join in the fun with her husband and son, it was past dawn when we wandered back for breakfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw Rumours of Fleetwood Mac in Torquay, with tickets and hotel it probably cost the same as a single ticket for the real group.

I hope you enjoy it, if it was someone I really liked I might have been swayed. £200 for the 2 of us is just too much for me at the moment. 24 minutes ago, redysteadygo said: Last gig I attended was the Who at Ashton Gate.

I think there were cheap tickets around the day of the gig for Rod Stewart. I may look nearer the time. 17 minutes ago, semblar said: Best value I think I ever paid was £60 each for 2001 at Slane Castle (U2's "homecoming" concert, supported by chilli peppers and coldplay before they were really big, plus a chunk of other decent artists)... followed by the B&B landlady waiting up to take us to the local pub to join in the fun with her husband and son, it was past dawn when we wandered back for breakfast Brilliant. Times have really changed. I never liked festivals but got a phonemail from a mate about the Isle of Wight, 2004 (I think). Did I fancy it , camping sorted few mates on the piss for the weekend. I think tickets were under £30. When I heard the line up I said yes. Charlatans, Manics, Snow Patrol, Bowie, the Who. Now you would have to buy tickets before an act is announced and just chance it. Best decision I've made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedorDead BCFC Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 7 hours ago, 1960maaan said: Well that's new, complaining when the club do a good thing for STH. I guess as it's organised by the club they thought they would give the STH a gesture of thanks for support, it also costs the club nothing. I would have been tempted as it's supposed to be his last tour, but £200 for me and her when I've not liked much of his stuff since Yellow brick road/Captain Fantastic. I know it's how artists make the majority of their money now, but it is getting out of hand with "big gigs" Wasn’t the last tour his last tour?

He absolutely has mate the problem for me is there’s just no one going to tell Elton he’s way past his best as lots of people are making lots of money from yet another farewell tour, almost as bad as football agent’s.

Vespa Red Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Love his 1970s stuff: Love Lies Bleeding is in my top 10 songs ever. But he's not going to be doing a 1970s only set is he and I'm not sure that we can justify £340 for 2 tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as I was at the Icicle Works and The Men They Couldn't Hang's farewell tours, and seen them both again since, there is every chance . The only one that has stuck has been the Jam I think.
