    Apparently sales are bad, this probably won't happen.

    €70, bloody hell. Most expensive gig in The Academy ever?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,321 ✭✭✭sham69


    not a bad lineup (minus Tate)
    Pricey for the academy though.
    Am tempted but also reckon it won't happen..


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,175 ✭✭✭StaticAge11


    I'm interested but I'd pay 40 max. Price is ridiculous!

    Yup - not a hope at €70 + a pop. Pity.

    Hey promoter man, it's the Metal all stars..not bloody Fleetwood Mac cop on FFS!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,933 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    This is the same promoter who charged €28 (+fees) for Dare in the Button Factory back in May.
    My mate plays keyboards for them and was astounded when told him ticket price

    Would be tempted for a reasonable price, but not a chance at €70

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    The gas thing is they are the equivalent of €40 at Brixton Academy (27.50+fees). Fling this out the same week that Machine Head,Kreator/Arch Enemy are on, madness.

    Max Cavalera added to line-up :pac:

    I'd like to see him, not for 70euro though.

    What's the format of this thing?

    I take it you're familiar with the lay out of The Academy

    Well all the artists will be at the bar, as you enter the venue you will be ushered on to the stage, when all 12 of you are there the artists will leave the bar, walk to the barrier and laugh there bollix off at ya for paying 70 blips a ticket

    As many woulda expected tour cancelled, dates to be rescheduled though :D:D

    I hope whoever tried it does reschedule it, to a bigger venue with a lower ticket price (or whatever it takes to get the price down to something more reasonable). Shame to see something tried and failed so badly.
