Erm, so while everyone was watching the football, Blur announced something that almost resembles a tour?

  • Just a few little warm up gigs

    Nowt to get excited about. He never said they were finished per se, just implied that a new record was unlikely.

    That is all.

    • pretty cheap by todays standards

      Besides, I think that's about what it cost to see them at Mile End in 1995...

      • That gig had an amazing line-up though

      • It was actually £18.50

        I just happened to have the ticket lying around

        sam_henshaw @thewarn | 17 May '12, 15:28 | X
        • I really

          regret not going to that.

    • £35 is reasonable for the band the level of Blur

      to be honest I was expecting the prices to be pushing the uncomfortable side of £60

  • Who got tickets in the presale then?

    *sticks hand up*

    Still on sale last time I looked, probably because there's strict anti-touting measures.

    Damian | 16 May '12, 10:18 | X
    • Still on sale

      Nobody wants to see Blur then? Crikey.

      • Where is this presale?

            • Beaten me to it

              Still available for all but Margate.

              Damian @fiddygent | 16 May '12, 14:24 | X
  • I think the fact that tickets are still available for most of the dates

    ...combined with the fact that there are strict anti-touting measures, shows just how bad the problem of people buying tickets purely to tout them had become.

    So... this is just a standard sale through a ticket agency - how about they start doing this for a much larger range of gigs?

    Damian | 17 May '12, 01:01 | X
  • I could go to 3 other gigs for that

    So no.

    SarahIsPi | 17 May '12, 09:07 | X
    • What gigs though!?

      I could go to 11 gigs for that.

      I do wish it wasn't as expensive - on the one hand get to see blur in a small (ish) venue again, on the other......it's £35 and i'm broke!
