given up on stadium or festivals for all the reasons mentioned above.......cost, view, crowds, catering, accomadation and toilets!! was offered hospitality box tickets for Springsteen at wembley next summer. starting at £750 FFS
I saw Madonna live in the late 80's she was brilliant live I have also seen Michael Jackson live around the same time and he was brilliant too
Went to see Coldplay on their tour of the spheres thing in Vancouver recently. Load of shite but Mrs Cringe thought it was amaaaazing… I’m so selfless and always pleasing others. Yeah, that’s me… I must say though, we could learn a thing or two from across the pond. The gig was in a big fuck off fancy stadium and there were bars all the way round- no queues. I was shitfaced when we came out.
I looked at hiring a camper van for 5 days and it wasnt *that terrible price wise tbh. Still got to sit in all that traffic coming home though and that was the clincher for me. I did 7 hours coming back to the m25 after the british open from the kent coast last year and i swore it will never happen again.
I see it has reopened, https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...pen-once-it-meets-extensive-safety-conditions
Bet that was epic. Worked with a fella who had bought 2 tickets to see them maybe 8 years ago, he didn’t tell the ticket vendors his new address……..the new occupant of his old address denied having received them lol. I stopped going to gigs to be honest, too many concert goers watch it through the lense of their phones which ruins the view and experience for me. Badly Drawn Boy was my last gig, in a small church in Birmingham City Centre.
I mean what is wrong with you folk moaning about the traffic jams, the answer is staring you in the face…. You have motorbikes! All you need is a tent, credit card and plenty of wet wipes and they will all fit on a bike….
lol I did think of that but I bet it would cause murders with people who’ve been sat queuing for hours when they watch you “jump the queue”. (I also wouldn’t want to leave it unattended for 5 days)
That reasoning works right up until you hit the word “Madonna”, at which point your argument falls apart like a cheap suit
