Title: Boosh Tour Ticket Prices !!
Post by: Falling Down on January 28, 2008, 12:32:11 am

Me and Mrs FD have just had a look at the prices for Boosh tickets at Buxton and Sheffield and they are charging 99 quid for the cheapest seats.  :jaw: WTF are they playing at ?? Someone tell me that this is some kind of elaborate joke..

Ah, you forget you live in Rip-off Britain:  The country a pint o' pish costs 3 quid.  A pair of running shoes?  Over a ton.   A single CD?  Up to 20.


Seems all in keeping w/things - alas.

Well I would but they have neither in the Reich.  Some CDs do cost nearly 20 sheets.  Beer is sometimes over 3 quid and rarely under 2.50 these days.  Hoegardden often nearly 5 freakin' quid.  Running shoes are easily 80 sheets -yes, I know I can get a pair for a fiver, but would you want to?

Looks like £25 + booking charge. (eg. £55 for two)

Not sure where you are looking.

Thanks fellas - I think we must have been looking in the wrong places which must be just tout sites.

Rip-off Britain: 

Off topic, but case in point:

Yesterday I purchased some new spectacles - not only were the frames gratis (no NHS here neither) but specially thin and light glass lenses w/ non-reflective surface came to a staggering €41!

Now that is gobsmacking.  Last pair I bought were titanium and cost a ton (quid) and that was in Thailand . . .

Blimey, I usually have to take out a not insignificant mortgage to replace my bins every other year.
