(well, nearly two grand)
A pair of tickets for The Cure's gig at the tiny Camden Barfly (Mar 5th) have sold on eBay for £1,800.
But fear not, tout-haters, as the tickets were sold by the Barfly themselves and the money will all go to charity, being split 50/50 between Shelter and War Child. The gig is part of 'Passport - Back To The Bars', a series of big bands in wee venues raising money for the aforementioned charities.
Pet Shop Boys, Ash, Supergrass, Divine Comedy and Blazin' Squad are just some of the other bands set to perform...

It pisses me off when people pay ridiculous amounts to see bands that they 'love'. If they were such good fans wouldn't they be on mailing lists and look out for dates? I know someone who paid like £100 to see the Chilis... gawd
Re: See The Cure For Only Two Grand
i remember reading about some touts outside a radiohead gig. he was offering to buy some tickets from a fan who couldn't go for some reason for £5 above asking price. the fan said he could get double the asking price, the tout refused, muttering "i hope you get fuckin' stuck with them". two minutes later the fan who had to sell the tickets sold them at face value to two real fans.
kudos :)

Only problem is, fucktard, its a 200 person venue and with 'top' other bands playing its gonna be difficult regardless of preparation to get tickets. Also, what does it matter to you if people spend their own money on bands that bring them enjoyment, twat.
Re: See The Cure For Only Two Grand
And in this partciular case it was tickets for competition winners only
Re: See The Cure For Only Two Grand
On a slightly differnt theme, if I had it my way, all touts selling tickets outside gigs would be rounded up and shot. If all the touts were dead and the threat of getting shot provided sufficient incentive for anyone considering making a career of touting not too, I might be able to get tickets to gigs without having piss around signing up to band’s mailing lists or finding out the instant the tickets are going on sale by being a member of their fucking fan club.
Killing all the touts probably won’t sort out the problem of me missing gigs I want to go to, but it’s a step in the right direction.

haha...i'm just pissin' myself over da two assholes arguing about ecah others mums rather than ridiculing the story....
Re: See The Cure For Only Two Grand
what is there to ridicule about the story?
people with a lot of disposable money pay a fair amount of money (with some going to charity) to see a band that they enjoy in a small venue. i see absolutely nothing wrong with that.
people can do what they wish with their income, it has nothing to do with me and nor should it.

The Ash tickets were going for £300, Pet Shop Boys for £600 and the David Gray for £350. Does this mean that The Cure are bteer then all of them put together.
I think the answer is probably yes...

Re: See The Cure For Only Two Grand
Ticket touts suck full stop. Remember Hillsborough?

The Answe is yes Mr Electricfly.
David Gray could be easily recreated using a nodding head dole (or nodding dog if you wish) while playing a CD that comes free with Q magazine.
Ash are good, but people were probably just being generous to charity because Ash toured last year, the year before, the year before and so on.
and Pet Shop Boys... well I'd rather lock myself in a room with Brody Dalle and Kelly Osbourne.
