If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Just looking on one site. Cheapest Manchester tickets (Standing) £202.80 + 2.50 handling fee. Each.

So they can Fvck off.
Yet it'll still sell out. I've never known any body of people quite like the devotees of Iron Maiden to be so seemingly desperate to throw swathes of their money at anything.
Do they still do that thing where they head out upon release (or pre-order) absolutely anything they bring out in order to rush it up the charts?

That's floating vs demand for ya! ridiculous.
I've actually started following this out of pure curiosity now.

So, get this, this is 20 minutes before they're open to general sale, on Viagogo right now;

Per single ticket.

Upper tier (and all at the back too) £130 - £235
Standing £180 - £235
Lower Tier (just off to the front sides of the stage) £325 - £943 :lol:

Viagogo should be a last resort - it's a secondary marketplace. In fairness to Ticketmaster, they still have tickets for Manchester at £60.75 err since I started typing they've gone to £64.95

Not sure Bruce. Wouldn't surprise me. They've been top of their game the last 30 years. That's no accident.

Absolutely, but what a total mockery it makes of Ticketmaster's bullshit claim that they introduced surge pricing to ward off scalping.

My nieces birthday party. 90’s themed. Had to raid my teenage Arsenal shirt collection but quite proud to find one to fit everyone! What a decade that was!

Not tonight, but rather Friday. Going to see my mate's band play at Academy 3 in Manchester. Makes a change from all the "stadiums" for big groups and little pubs for local ones. Somewhere in between!

Thursday I'm off to see a play. The Final Problem. Loosely based around the Sherlock Holmes story it's a narrative by Doctor Watson.

Mrs GtE loves Murder Mysteries and especially Sherlock Holmes so I hope it's good.

It is still touring TD. The actor is Timothy Marriot who was in the Brittass Empire way back. I'm guessing he has a website she could check out. He's also looking at a new stage adaptation of the Hound of the Baskervilles

Something a bit different. A candlelight concert, where they're violinning 80's/90's rave at Manchester Cathedral. Can't decide whether to take E's or some sort of psalms...
