I remember seeing him at the Royal Albert Hall about 1985,quite a few of us had been waiting a long time to see one of his solo shows after first hearing ITAT, it was a first class show but by this time along with Genesis both had lost a bit of appeal from the late 70s/early 80s worship we had for them both. I bought a sweatshirt from the show and his face on the front of it out-tangoed Donald Trump.
He really embraced the eighties which helped his bank balance but didn't do much for his street cred, the mullet, the baggy suit and all but seeing him recently not looking A1 I found a bit sad because he was a great performer once.

Tried to get tickets on a whim for the Chili Peppers at the MEN Arena. All the decent seats are on resale at at least treble value. Someone needs to do something about this - It's clear at least 40% of tickets were bought for resale. All tickets for concerts should have the initial buyers name on them.

With the recent sale of Green Day tickets for their tour next year, the post code of the purchaser is printed on each ticket and proof of address has to be provided when entering the venue, however it still didn't stop tickets being advertised elsewhere for many times their face value.They were sold out in minutes; we didn't get any.
This year Reading tickets were going for phenomenal amounts, last year we picked up 2 weekend tickets for £260 for the pair, this year we aimed to do the same but in the end they were selling for around £500 each, we didn't attend!

What's stopping artists doing what Iron Maiden have done for their 2017 tour? That is, no physical ticket is actually distributed; your credit card and ID are your ticket, which stops touting altogether.
Odd that, I've got tickets for Maiden at the Arena in May! The tickets do, however, have my name printed on them so hopefully this will be checked.popeyewhite said:

had the same for ELO, Black Sabbath and Depeche Mode. Loads on the legal touting sites (at stupid prices), disgraceful
