At Sheffield arena in June, might have considered this until I saw the price of the tickets!

One of the two best live bands I've ever seen Filo.But then, that was when Keith Moon was still on drums! I would have thought about going too - but crikey! Not for me at those prices I'm afraid.

Saw the Who at Sheffield Arena back in, I think, 2000 when Entwhistle was still Alive. Was one of the best shows I've seen... AND it was less than £40 a ticket. Wouldn't pay what theyre at now though.

Concert ticket prices are getting stupid. Considering what they were a relatively short time ago. In saying that though, some comedy shows (I.e. Peter Kay etc...) are around £40 a ticket for about an hour and a half show.

Rather pay £20 for Frank Turner any day!! :thumbsup:

Considering the marketplace for recorded music these days is going down the toilet, and all the piracy as well, it wouldn't surprise me if bands don't come to see their live shows as their main source of income and the record sales as just a form of advertising the shows...

I'd love to see these. Up there with The Beatles, The Stones and The Dooleys.

I went with a mate of mine to see the Dooleys. He told me they were a better 'live' act than the Who...............Won't get fooled again.
