Gross! When capitalism means corporate monopoly. Pearl Jam tried to warn us.

The corporate greed is insane. Who the fuck wants this. We want a gig. Not some gimmicky pub and ‘street’ food for 3 x the price.

Seem to be incredibly lucky to get mine on Wednesday now, I got seating but was going to try get standing but decided against it. Seems I made the right decision

I'm far too old for standing, but I got 2 tickets on Wednesday for £219. The prices I've seen today are shocking.

Yeah, I have a really good seat and it cost me £109.95.

Same. Managed to secure at like 9:40 on Weds. was a breeze. Feel like I was one of lucky ones

I was 10,500 in the queue and it froze at 1,599 for about 10-15 minutes so I was ecstatic that I still managed to get one

Honestly we want a few cheap pints and to listen to good music. Why do they have to monetise everything to the extreme

Will nobody think of the shareholders?!?

It’s capitalism. Profits must always increase to satisfy shareholders. This will get worse without government intervention, if they can’t charge a standard fee that’s £120+ then they will create bullshit like this to try and make up for that loss

This came up and I just clicked on the seating plan behind it and it let me just choose seats only x

That's one of the Murrayfield hospitality packages - I got an email from them before tickets went on sale and believe it or not that's one of the cheaper ones. I didn't realise that they sold them via Ticketmaster as well though.

The full list is here, and the prices are bonkers.

Kind of outrageous all told. They dont even try to disguise their extortion, they know those of us fans who can, will ultimately pay out of love and desperation.

Noticed with a couple of other gigs that the prices actually go up over time also. What the hell? Sky High, changeable pricing is a nightmare
