If You Want To Go To A Gig/Event

How do you find out when and where it is on, the ticket prices and arrangments etc??

I usually wait for someone to knock on my front door and turn up with tickets. I sometimes wonder how many events I have missed over the years.

Oh Well.

 

I check the Ticketmaster website quite a lot and either look at the listings or search for a particular event. There are loads of other sites but I've been using this for years and have never had a problem. Give it a try http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/

 

I think you've missed the (weak) attempt at sarcasm there Mario.

 

VERY WEAK attempt at it.

 

I thought it was brilliant.

Now there's some top drawer sarcasm for you, oh yeah.

Or was the second line ironic too? Even I don't know. It's not easy this internet lark.

 

Maybe weak sarcasm but a valid point.

 

I get emails every week from Ticketmaster telling me to 'Check out this week's hot tickets and special offers'

I normally delete it without reading though.

 

Yep I completely missed that sarcasm. I should have spotted it in the second line but it completely passed me by. Like a lot of things these days.

 

I follow the band on Twitter, Facebook, have email alerts from the major ticket outlets and local venues to keep me up to date.

Now if that band played in the same place 23 times a year, and I wasn't told otherwise, I'd expect the price to be exactly the same each time.

valid point conan

 

When I used to live in Leeds, there were a lot of event/gig nights that I went to on a weekly/monthly basis. Regular things like.

I knew about them because there were posters up all over the place, and I got to recognise the ones that were up on every billboard, in every pizza shop, and on every flyer that came through the door. As someone who didn't go out of my way to find out what was going on (there was too much variety), those I saw regularly really stuck in the mind. I went down, enjoyed it, and I went again and again.

Maybe I missed out. The band that just played in a pub in the city centre might have been the best... trouble is I didn't know they were there because they didn't reach me.

Thing is... there were hundreds of gig nights, events and bands competing for my attention, many of them more than worthy. In the analogy you're trying to make, there is only one satisfactory attraction for the customers the marketeers want to attract, and that's BFC. It's them or nowt. And nowt seems to be winning.
