Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Ah, I'm in on this one as well and we don't expect to pay anything near face value. Stuart and I are fucking minted and will pay top dollar for the right tix.

Maybe my acoustic-loving friend should have pointed that out.

The prices have dropped a wee bit since the initial eBay panic buys - £350-ish is the going rate for a pair.

And it'll drop further the closer the gig gets, as the carpet-bagging hold-outs realise their gravy train is about to come off the rails very quickly.

It's amazing how many ticket holders suddenly have meetings/functions/whatever "they can't get out of" - even MONTHS before a sell-out gig.

Funny that.

Now no cunt'll want to sell us the tickets

Ps : Stu - Bigsby loves Mark Knopfler more than you love Neil Young!
