Ha, I remember it all kicking off when Queen had the audacity to charge £10 a ticket in 1980 (the first time a rock band had charged a tenner a ticket). That would still only be £37 at today's prices!

Or the early 70's, the musicians that were in effect, and soon to become, Derek & the Dominoes embarking on a low profile tour of the UK (prior to recording Layla & Other Love Songs) never charging more than a £1 entrance fee.

Not sure if anyone follows rugby on this but the Irish blonde lad from 1D critised Mike Phillips (Welsh scrum half and very big lad).
They got into a twitter argument and then the bookies Paddy Power jumped in and offered to sponser a boxing match between them both.
I would pay £220 to see that!
Don't think the 1D lad would last long |

Had he been the Irish scrum half, would that have been Paddy power? |

I doubt it but bookies never miss a trick!
Mike Phillips sent a tweet to this 1D lad offering him and the 'rest of the Beatles' to come and train with the Welsh squad. Apparently there wasn't much response to that! |

"Think about it could be wrong but doubt much real term cost much more than beatles tickets in their heyday.
yes it seems a lot."
Nope, The Beatles last US tour in 1966, the most expensive tickets were $6.50; less than £30 at today's prices |

Paid £46 to watch Simple Minds at the O2 in November last. I was gutted to pay that much.
£225 to watch One Direction???? I'd rather watch a festering turd on a sewage farm  |
