It's gonna be so expensive :(

This thread is probably the best source of updates/price speculation: http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?topic=383644.0

tickets for this will be almost impossible to get hold of

i'm guessing we'll see them going for around £900 at midday on friday

BarryShitpeas | 13 Feb '13, 22:15 | X | ^ This | Reply
some places are saying £75

but others are saying £61-65
Seeing that I paid less than that for WTT and recently for kraftwerk, i think im gonna pass :(

Holy fuck.

I'm gonna try and get tickets- not sure if I can go, but I'm sure I would be able to offload them,...

£70 for a ticket?

Obscene

- Given current gig ticket prices
  
  and the size of the venue, I really can't see that these are over the odds in price...

    Doesn't make it right. I paid £35 to see him at the O2 in November 2008!

    - Oh yeah, I agree.
      
      I just don't think this one is particularly obscene.

    - thats the o2 though. and it was over four years ago.
      
      kanye is gonna be playing to 8,000. considering how many tickets will actually be sold and not given away to press and competition winners, they probably wouldn't have been able to pay his fee if the tickets were £40. not taking into account the entourage and shit loads of staging too.

I think I paid ~£90 for front row for Neil Young at Hammersmith in 2008.

But that was Neil Young.

Good to see another multi-millionaire pushing ticket prices to their limit. Good stuff. It's a gig for those that like to go home with a nice badly recorded mobile phone image to never watch.

would love to go but too expensive :(

Noblet | 14 Feb '13, 11:51 | X | ^ This | Reply
honestly would probably pay this if it wasn't as short notice/i had the time off work/could organise it,

considering i've been a huge fan for a decade, the SEVEN SCREEN EXPERIENCE (!!!!) like revel, abu dhabi and cruel summer etc. and masks would probably be worth it.

beyoncé next week, though. and then i'll save in case justin and jt do europe.

If anyone wants to go to this...

I've ended up with two spare standing tickets for Sunday. Face value of course - PM me.

Anyone with 4xstanding tickets for tomorrow (Saturday)

Bit of a long shot but thought I'd ask!

Anyone go to this tonight or yesterday and wanna tell me what I missed?

Got a couple of phone calls/texts during it

Apparently he wore a diamond mask and did an EXTREMELY extended version of Runaway. Runaway is my fave song of his :(

Aaron | 24 Feb '13, 22:57 | X | ^ This | Reply
- he did the extended version of Runaway
  
  at the o2 with Jay Z. total gash. heavy autotune with some awful fake ad-libbed Akon-style lyrics in it.
  
  close to ruined that tune for me, and it's probably my favourite of his.

Well that was an eventful night

Started off brilliantly and angrily, with an array of brilliant costumes (a straight jacket, a diamond mask to name 2) but then lost momentum with that 20 minute version of Runaway which killed the atmosphere. Came back to do Touch the Sky and then threw his microphone to the ground and stormed off. Not sure if this was staged or not, his band hung around for a minute or so looking like they were expecting him to come back.

- He did the
  
  'throw the mic on the ground half way through a song' on the Saturday too, to finish. So it's just a thing he's doing nowadays.
