  3. Thing is - there's still loads of other great music on later albums too

    This is definitely (maybe) a greatest hits nostalgia tour but hope they don't completely forget the later stuff

    There is, and as much as I like the first few albums it doesn't give the set much dynamic with similar sounding songs.
  5. I preferred night 2 to night 1.

  6. I bloody love that stadium.

    I got Heaton and Wembley in August during the general sale. Heaton I was 20146 in the queue and Wembley I was 8914 in the queue. I was 7653 in the queue for Edinburgh but got kicked out when I got in because I had already used that ticketmaster account to buy the Wembley tickets.

    Then 3.5 hours after tickets went on sale my Gigsandtours page automatically refreshed, and I managed to buy Cardiff 1 through them. I got Cardiff 2 and another Heaton park show via Ticketmaster resale.

    Everything for face value. Nothing dynamically priced. I was in the queue for another Heaton show and TM offered me a £400 dynamically priced ticket but I turned it down.

    Good for you but TBH it just shows the void there is within the music industry that the big stadium filler Rock Bands are from a bygone era and very few current bands can fill Arena's let alone stadiums across the globe. Reunion tours are so lucrative we saw it with GnR, The Police and Stone Roses nostalgia is definitely the way to go as the older generation don't mind paying an absolute fortune to glorify the past and relive their youth.

    I think 'glorify' is a bit harsh - yeh, we know that the majority of 'reunion' tours are just money-making ventures but those fans still go for a good time and if it's a chance to 'relive their youth' and wallow in nostalgia for a short time then there's nothing wrong with that

    Heck, if REM announced a reunion tour just so Michael Stipe could build a new house then I wouldn't hold it against him - and I'd have a great time seeing them again after all this time

    Aren't we all just a little bit too critical when it comes to these types of tour? Me included

    I think as long as we all know it's for the money - the artists might actually enjoy doing it too though let's not forget - then nobody is forcing people to buy tickets at gun point although grotesque pricing is unfair and 'legal' profiteering should be addressed

    Maybe all 'nostalgia' tours should have at least one free gig?

    Anyhoo - just my 2 cents
  12. if oasis abuse with the nostalgic thing, i’d get mad. hope they don’t do the U2 route
