We paid £20 for our tickets,can get them now off groupon for £15

No problem,if that gets a few more going all the better

This thread seems to have become a text book example of the dangers of deflation in the economy. People don't buy because they think the price will drop.

Not my cup of tea 80's music - but for several hours entertainment by live musicians at seems reasonable value, and as f*****g Helen Mirren, our beloved f****g Queen pointed out recently you pay £100 for a London theatre ticket.

Another 2 added to our group now,that's 17 going,some at £15 some at £20

We are doing our bit

Just deciding which fancy dress to go in

Nobody from the 80s is jumping out yet,might be the old faithful, Elvis

On a pedantic note - wasn't Elvis dead by the eighties, unless you mean Elvis Costello, I think he was still around in the eighties?

Must agree with that.

It does depend on just what floats your particular boat of course, and like you, I'm far from being an 'eighties fan' in general but every era has its aficionados so if you like the artists concerned it's good value and you can't knock the concept.

I mean the king, he didn't die in the 70s

Ah, no my mistake



Wife's just got back from Morrisons and he was in front of her in the queue just after Lord Lucan. He then rode off on Shergar in the direction of Idle......

Can't see Lord Lucan shopping at morrisons,so I know you must be pulling my leg

Got to admit, I'd have guessed he would have sent the butler to Waitrose but that pay day bonus must be big attraction, even to the well heeled - though, that said, I expect since he's been pretending to be dead, his pension has probably been stopped so he may be a bit down at heel these days?

Up to yesterday,between the bulls and groupon have sold 5000 tickets,bit less than had been hoped for

OTOH, for perspective, the equivalent to selling out St. George's Hall for 3 nights.

That's exactly what I was saying last night,if it turns out they sell about 6000, I don't think that's too bad for first go, and none of the acts are headline names anymore

It certainly won't ruin my night out on Saturday

I'm very much looking forward to it
