That's generally current market value for a band of their size. Wolves Civic was always a good venue to go to as well despite the unfortunate city it happens to be in.

Did you try for Glastonbury Rich?
Heard from someone involved with the ticketing system that there were only 7,000 tickets in the resale, which is pretty impressive considering the price hike and the less than stellar lineup.
Yes mate, tried and failed. Went in 7 minutes. Resale normally lasts 30 minutes. The new system of not having to add payment details made it even more difficult.
Gutted but hey ho.

Yeah I'm already dreading October.
Doing Glastonbury differently this year - taking my kids so it's going to be a massively different experience.

Considering Blur tickets for Wolves Civic but already getting tickets for Suede, Johnny Marr and Blondshell on Friday morning so will have to see how much everything comes to. Saw them last time they played Wolves anyway. Good live act but not amazing.
I wanted to go to ACR but the Albion game being switched scuppered plans. They are having a bit if a renaissance.
Blur, for me, have provided a couple of my all time gigs. But I've always been a huge fan.

Said it before and I'll say it again.
Blur's set at Glastonbury 09 was the best gig I've ever been at, anywhere, from any act.

Pretty much all of our groups got tickets in October, we got kicked out of payment screens on a number of occasions. Just unlucky. I'll be back next year, even if I work it.
Gutted about this year as planned to take my 17 year old to her first one.

Almost for me too, only Radiohead 97 beats it, but only just.

You get in next year pal.
Excited to see what my 5 and 3 year olds make of it all - my 5 year old daughter already has a list of stuff she wants to see.

Kendrick Lamar last year and weirdly the Killers in 2019 are the only things that come close.
(Seriously though, The Killers smashed it out of the park)
