So torn on my Oasis tickets. They're here in 2 weeks, and the cheapest standing ticket I can see on resale sites is nearly €1K. I'd never ever sell tickets over face value, we have a site here that I've been on for years where everyone sells at face value which is great. But I feel like I'd be an idiot to not sell to someone that's willing to spend that much if I can.
I want to go but I've had back issues for an age and I'm not sure how I'll cope. But it'll be a unique gig and I'll probably not get the chance to see them again, I listened to them when pretty young as a kid thanks to my cousin. Then again, I'm not feeling like I'll forever regret if I don't go. I like Oasis but I'd feel worse about missing Hans Zimmer in November even though I've seen him twice before.
I'm still keeping an eye out for tickets for Edinburgh. I've registered for production holds, but the prices people are willing to pay are ridiculous. I mean I saw Oasis on their last tour (Usher Hall ran out of beer, and the review in the local paper started with the phrase 'In front of a crowd who were somewhere north of up for it')...
It's obscene. Take the cash!
Welp, follow up I guess. Made the plunge and got a standing ticket for Oasis last night for a mere £575 (face value £161). The two people who I was talking to in the crowd had also bought tickets to sell - a guy with a mullet made 10k selling them. The woman sold a few tickets which basically meant she and her husband's tickets were paid for.
Great gig though. I was probably too close - it was either look at the people on the stage who were tiny or look away from the stage to look at the screen (which would be strange).
The tickets definitely could have been better handled but awesome that you went! Mullet guy lowkey sucks
Booked tickets for Suede this morning in February. Pulp, Oasis and Suede in a calendar year. We're so back.

I sold them, I just wasn't able for it. I was at a match a week before it and only had to deal with 15 mins on a train and a short walk there and back but I was in bits for days so the thoughts of a long walk to Croke Park and standing was horrid. At the end of the day I'm hopefully able to bring my family away for a few days on a holiday with the money which feels a far better usage of it.
Bob Vylan tickets go on sale tomorrow. You going

Saw Basement Jaxx a few weeks ago. Wanted to see them for about a decade and this was their first live show in just as much time. Had a great time. Realised I've not really been to any gigs this year, just day festivals, so it was nice to go for one act I really like again.
Seeing PinkPantheress next week too. Nearly saw her at Reading in 2022 when my ex bought me a Reading ticket (that I had to pay her back for) without me ever saying I wanted to but then I broke up with her and decided I'm not going to Reading when the only act I cared about had <10 minutes worth of music at that point lmao

Nah. Not because I wouldn't go see them again (which I would because they were class when they opened for Biffy and I expect they'll tear the house down ) but I'm just a bit over gigs at this stage in my life. I don't really enjoy them anymore. I passed up the opportunity to see my actual favourite band in Deaf Havana in October, as well as my actual 2nd favourite band in CHVRCHES about 2 years ago.
Besides, I'm not the most confident driver in big cities, and Manchester Academy is a bit out of the way in terms of public transport, especially coming from Chester which often requires a stop at Warrington. Just a ballache to get to tbh.
System of a Down presale on Tuesday. Fucking better get me a ticket for this, feel like I've been waiting 20+ years to see them.
