    WTF! Price of concert tickets.

    Just got an ad in my inbox for upcoming events in the CIA.

    Dolly Parton (still going apparently) is £67 + booking fees

    I can't recall ever paying that much to see an act. I think the highest ever was about £40 for U2 tix.

    I've got VIP tickets to see Take That at Wembley and they were £300

        Not worth it. She has lost her voice and she goes on with the same old gags.

          I wasn't planning on going, just eye-goggling at the price.

            Doesn't that just make them VRP tickets?

              Concert prices are expensive now because bands don't make that much out of the record sales anymore. You can't 'download' a live gig - That's what I've seen banded about to justify the extortionate price.
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!
