I know it’s a business but the current ticket prices to me are excessive.
Pretty much 65 a ticket.
I understand why but to me the band are asking their loyal supporters to pay more as less people are going to see them. So they still make the same amount.
I know lots of people who would go to see them but simply can’t afford such prices.

65 quid is really hefty
Tickets were 60p for the Piledriver tour,£7.85 in todays dosh. They were £7.50 on the Army tour
It's not like there's a big stage production that needs an arena

I just looked and some venues seem to have tickets for around the forty pounds mark, which seems more sensible. I compared the Dublin gig as that's priced in Euros (74-79Euros) with a tour I'm playing keyboards for next year, the biggest indoor arenas across Germany and most tickets for that are around 50 Euros with a monumental sound and light rig and also a much bigger live band and backing singers. I presume it's management yet again wringing every penny out of the faithful as there hasn't been a winter tour in a couple of years.

I saw the FF for 45 euro in Dublin Not fully sure why they think they can currently charge that much. Quo were never like that

Don’t care at all as I know she has passion and delivers.

But on the other hand, like Paradise Flats mentioned above, not everyone can afford such prices.

Over here,in Oz, we understand the extra costs it takes to travel over here so we’re use to the higher ticket prices. Quo over recent tours is always over the $120 mark.
