I've 2 front row floor seats for Mrs Browns Boys in Leeds in June
Bought from Eventim when they went on sale
The wife & I are looking forward to it, but I'm also aware that such prime tickets could fetch a fair premium, and I may test the market a week or so before the show, by posting on one of the resale sites or Gumtree
If someone is willing to pay silly prices, we'd probably sell, and wait for the DVD. I'd have no issues selling if someone wants to pay!

Anyone want to offer £200 the pair

I'd rather eat my own sh|t after a dodgy takeaway than watch Mrs Browns Boys.

After having thought about it a while I don't care about ticket touts, I want the event industry reformed to ban all God-awful events.

What classification is that then? Or perhaps reading your posts over the years has helped form a sensible, self-thinking opinion?


Actually, apparently not, seeing as I didn't mention political parties. You did.

Happy New Year

Mrs Brown's Boys? Uurgh.

LOL, I think I once voted for the Labour party, several elections ago to get rid of the Tory tw*t who had held this seat for so long that he thought it was his birthright, but thats probably the only time I did - what is your sensible self-thinking opinion of my political views then ?

Ha, nice attempt at a backtrack - let's just note again it's not me who keeps 'classifying' in terms of political parties, shall we.


Nowt to write home about.

So what is your sensible self-thinking opinion of my political views then ?

There was an evening just before Christmas that BBC1 were showing a re-run of a previous Mrs Brown's Boys christmas special, the alternative on BBC2 was Jack Whitehall mincing around in front of his dad.

That one piece of inspired scheduling should be enough to legally refuse to renew a TV licence

Mrs Brown's Boys, anything hosted by Jack Whitehall, Citizen Khan, anything hosted by Russell Kane.
The evidence is mounting.

Before anyone says that it's aimed at teenagers I don't care it's still painfully unfunny. Teenagers are stupid when it comes to comedy. Hence the success of Two & a Half Men.

Mrs. Brown's Boys is comedy genius

It's an updated version of Old Mother Riley

So basically you didn't get tickets and you're beefing about it.

I got 4 tickets.

We'll probably look for tickets nearer the time. If we can get them at a reasonable price we'll go, if not we won't. Previous posters, in particular resident nob head Lord God Jose Mourinho saying there are tickets available are correct, it's just that there's only 1 day of the whole schedule we can all make and we need 3 together.

I'm merely pointing out that a company who sell tickets in the first instance have a sister company who then resell said tickets for a massively inflated price on behalf of the buyer (in most cases touts) minutes after they have sold. Surely even the most moronic person can see that this system is immoral and open to abuse? My big question is, do Ticketmaster sell tickets through GETMEIN for some of the high profile events without even offering them at face value first?

A mate of mine tried to get tickets recently for Carfest 2015. He was trying from the first second they went on sale but didn't manage to get them. It sold out in about 10 minutes but GETMEIN had hundreds available within minutes of it selling out at double, even triple the price.

Comedy is subjective
What the underlying fact is in this thread is people will pay whatever they feel is value, also subjective

Doesn't matter what the show/event is, it's irrelevant to the argument.
I'm quite happy to pay £40 to see Mrs Browns Boys. I wouldn't pay £100, but some people would, and I'll sell at that price

There was a high profile issue in the USA a few years ago where Ticketmaster redirected buyers, for Bruce Springsteen tickets, straight to a resale site despite tickets being still available at face value. www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ ... o-20100218
