I tried to buy some Phoenix Nights tickets last Sunday or the Sunday before.
They went on sale at 11am. I was on the site bang on 11. No tickets avaialble at any price £41-£64 for Saturday or Sunday (2 dates). 20minutes later there were 10 dates - no tickets available and they had started appearing on other web sites for £250. Bloody Charity event.
I don't know if RWC and/or Peter Kay have any thing to do with it - I would suspect not.
Kate Bush was well pissed at the free for all surrounding her recent shows and I believe she and her management tried their best to avoid price hikes and selling on.
Between the Olympics, RWC 2015 and Phoenix Nights they can all shove it up their shiny corporate @rses!
I'll watch it on the telly like I have since 1987.
