Don't moan about the prices!!

All queen fans please do not moan on about the prices of the tickets please let me put this into perspective for you.

Queen are our favorite band and we having seen the like of them for 13 years(freddie mercury tribute concert) and almost 19years since 86 so now they decide to get back to where they belong and we're all "can't wait for tour" etc and soon as ticket prices are mentioned it's "rip off" or scandulous prices" just remember this if you went to see the likes of madonna you would have to pay in the region of seventy pounds as with queen 49.50 isn't that bad anyway and remember this could well be the last ever time the boys go out on tour so the price of the tickets would be irrelvant.

Anyway i've said my peace go and enjoy what will be a very interesting tour.

People just can't see where the money is going. The Wembley concert alone will take about £450,000 if all seats are sold. Then there's the merchandise to bring in more money.

You have a point Brenda but we still don't want to be taken for suckers.

Fair point on where the money is going good point who knows?

I put the explenation of the high prices in the other topic. Here it is again:

Ticketprices in all countries have just exploded the last couple of years. The official reason: artists and companies get less income because we burn so many cd's. (Which is a stupid and UNTRUE argument!)

Also, bear in mind that this particular tour is particularly expensive! Why? Because it is not a real, existing, unit. When there is a band there is one price for one unit. Now it's three! There are three people on this tour -that would already be expensive to put on stage on their own- who all three have their own company, their own management, their own everything. Hence the price needs to be as high as that, say, 3 managers can eat instead of one.

So there you have it!

Who is the third one? Spike Edney?
As I understand, Jim Beach manages both Brian and Roger.

But seperately, not together. (Two jobs)
There is a business called 'Brian' and there is a business called 'Roger'. There is no business called 'Brian AND Roger'.

Also one of the biggest reasons the ticket prices are higher is that they can not use it to sell a new album as they did in the past, and therefore generate revenue by other means.

The majority of the people going to the concert will already have the CDs, DVDs etc.

It has been stated that the only tour to make money was the last.

Also patience is a virtue (instead of pressing the "post message" twice !)

I'm sure Jim Beach doesn't have to worry about where his next meal is coming from.

Rolling Stones at Twickenham = £55
Queen at Brixton = £55
Anyone else at Brixton = £30 tops

So, I'll continue to criticise the pricing structure.

Whatever the delectable Brenda feels she should enfore.....

They will sell the tickets for as much as they think they can get for them.....

Tickets to Birminghame & Wembly £110 including P+P

Tickets to Brixton £119 including P+P and this is meant to be for the fans ???????

Brenda I feel you are missing the point here:

Madonna is a highly successful female artist and has been for the last 20 odd years. She has in the last few years chosen to do some small capacity gigs thus because of this ticket prices were high at £70.00 Also i need to point out with Madonna you paying to see the original artist not 50% of a once great band.

I thing the main reason for the excessive prices are that the promoters know their market. 30-55 year old who have more disposable income compared to say teenagers who would pay a lower price to see Westlife or Mcfly.

And lets face it Byran, Roger (and Paul probably) don't exactly need the money do they ?

Nor does Madonna.
