So, fairly full in Barcelona night 1. A few spaces in the back.
They did shut the 300 level and half of the 200 level at the back though.
2000: Manchester | 2006: Astoria, Dublin, Leeds | 2007: Wembley, Nijmegen | 2008: New York 1 & 2 | 2009: Shepherds Bush, Manchester, London | 2010: Hyde Park | 2012: Manchester 1 & 2, EV London 1 & 2 | 2014: Stockholm, Leeds, Milton Keynes | 2017: EV Dublin | 2018: London 2 | 2019: EV London | 2022: London 1& 2 | 2024: Manchester

If you start your own thread to dump all those assorted TM screen shots that's probably the better move
Own thread? I’ve done the only move: the whole bunch (edit: 66;) is on the phone deleted now. Could be in data nirvana now. The only question left is: when will an admin close down the thread - IF.
I can see for miles and miles Not the same in kilometres
Oh, man, don't get me started. When I went to Vancouver for the shows, I picked up my rental car and was driving it at what felt like a moderate rate of speed when I glanced at the speedometer and was shocked to see that I was somehow doing 90. Then, waiting for the SeaBus after the show, I looked at a display in the terminal and saw that the temperature outside was 9 degrees. I thought, "Damn, I should have packed a coat." Finally, refilling my tank before returning the car, I was presented with gas-- excuse me, petrol-- by the liter-- I mean litre-- priced in Canadian dollars-- or is it dollras? I still have no idea whether I got a good deal or not and, unfortunately, there's simply no way to know.
What a messed-up system. It must be tough for Canadians to walk around all day constantly having to multiply things by .62 or 1.8 to know the real distances and temperatures.
Also, not about weights and measures, the radio station I settled on went by Zed 95.3. I still don't know who this Zed person is...
If you looking for something good; ~1,000,000€ is the price of killing scalping/resellers. Paid by the fans. When everyone knows what’s going on then not that much „overpriced“ tickets getting sold. (except they will show up in a barn in Norwich, UK, capacity 700 for example:) See Manchester Arena ;this strike strategy hits „normal price“ at the end. (eventually;) But that’ll not happen in Norwich…;)
What incensed me about Manchester was the appearance of the whole tier 1 > for about GBP 90,- > approx. two weeks before showdate. That level was by far not packed then - no wonder, most of the interested people had already bought their ticket long before > 100% overprized.
what Barcelona made visible: the sales strategy don’t use „below normal prize tickets“ (but it would be doable). Plus: give-away tickets were part of the business.
Having seen two shows, I do understand the many arguments in this thread and understand the cost is high but I am still in the mindset that those shows were worth every penny I paid and a lot more. They were phenomenal and we had such an amazing time. They will no doubt be the best shows I see all year and for that I am always grateful.
I cant wait for next time, and if the costs are even higher I'll pay it gladly.
Being a football fan we will regularly pay £60 for 90 minutes of football (in the north of course) and its often dreadful and barely qualifying of entertainment. When put next to those shows I witnessed on this leg, everything is in perspective.
When do people think we’ll next see the band in Europe? I’ve seen people speculating on a two year wait following a cancellation but could it really be that long? I’m itching to see them again, but baulked at paying for expensive last minute flights to Barcelona or Madrid.
I guess not. I’m just hoping that after this current tour lost three shows they’ll be back sooner, rather than later and hopefully with revised pricing!
They sometime come back-to-back years (2006/2007 and 2009/2010) and sometimes they wait four years (2014 to 2018). It obviously depends on a various of factors.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
Optimistic view - They realise this tour was messed up so want to make it right next year and come back with different venues/pricing/planning to avoid sickness.
Pessimistic view - Talk of insurance reasons may embargo certain countries, the band may want to rethink touring schedule
All I can say is I missed all shows this tour and hope to get my fill of Dark Matter songs next time around so hope they still promote the hell out of it the next tour.

I think I’m somewhere between the optimistic and pessimistic. I’d love for more arena shows in other cities, maybe even a stadium or two in the right place, but would definitely take another Hyde Park gig at this point.
Shame you missed out on the DM songs. I had a ticket for London, but was fortunate enough to have been at Manchester too. I thought ‘Dark Matter’ particularly sounded huge.

Impossible to notice how energised the band looked playing the new stuff, especially RR and scared of fear...
