Well done Adrian !



I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

LOL. Typical Stones fan. Moaning about high ticket prices!

Nice one, Ade. Oddly enough, I read that article yesterday and must have glossed over the bit that mentioned your name.

lol- thanks for bringing it to my attention Pauly.
My comment has been somewhat sanitised, (see below ) by the BBC,
but the message remains, more or less the same.

£100 quid for a stand up show, in an aircraft hangar, is effing ridiculous.
He can poke it up his arse. I'll wait for the DVD.

Tsk tsk, naughty BBC, misquoting people as usual !!

maybe the buggers will send me a freebie....but i ain't holding my breath.

Well done Adrian. Highlights a big problem with entertainers leaving it in the hands of a promoter.

Classic.

Was THAT your exact quote?

Imagine if they had let THAT one go and put it on the site by mistake.

Shouldn't be a "mistake" in the first place. Censored realties go straight to hell. Nowadays you can probably better read the Guardian if you want to know what's really going on in the world.

Jerry Seinfeld in a 20,000 seat arena at over $100 a ticket. That's nuts. I couldn't see him filling any arena's in the U.S. at any price. Play a comedy club.

He can fill a theatre fairly well.

£100 at todays rate is about $155. That makes it sound even more outrageous.Dunno what our guys like Peter Kay and Michael Mackintire who also play the O2 charge.Will have to check it out cos they both have tours coming up I think.

One of my fave comedians is Peter Kay.Just checked out his dates at the O2 in April 2011 and between £35 and £41 for tickets.Puts it in perspective a bit.

I'll wait for the DVD.

good one Adrian ........be funny if the DVD's a 100 quid when it comes out!!!

Kay has been touring for months, filling large arenas for multiple nights at a time. He played 5 nights here (Belfast) earlier this month, having put the tickets on sale a year ago. They sold out in minutes. He just added three more nights for February (I got lucky for one of them). Thats about 75-80,000 tickets in a small (and remote) part of the UK. Tickets were £38, which is probably about the going rate for a successful comedy performer playing this size of venue.

Only if its being sold by rs.com!!

An update on the story......................Seinfeld unhappy about high price of stand up tickets
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has apologised to fans for the high cost of tickets for his first stand-up show in the country in 13 years, insisting he would be complaining to promoters about the £103 price tag. The Seinfeld star will perform for one night only at London's O2 Arena on 3 June and entrance to the gig ranges from £72 to £103.

The funnyman admits he trusted the event organisers to set prices at a reasonable rate and was not happy when he discovered how much devotees would have to spend to see him live.

He tells the Guardian newspaper, "I'm terribly, terribly sorry. I really had to let the English promoter guide us in that, because I don't know that market that well. So I'm going to complain to him."

But Seinfeld will be even more shocked to hear that scalpers snapped up tickets to his show and are reselling them online for hundreds more than face value.

Some of the stubs are being touted for as much as £330 each.

Well, everyone has their taste and what they like in 'humour' or 'comedy', personally I wouldn't give £3.30 to see him, so as usual .... here's hoping there more like me and all the a**hole scalpers get f**ked royal !!

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

I'd go as high as three quid just for the novelty,but I couldn't promise not to go to sleep during it.
