Pet Shop Boys new hardback book – Volume – is down to £23 on Amazon UK as part of Prime day!

No applause, us mugs all bought it at fully recommended retail price...

That’s true! I bought it thinking I was getting pre sale obscure tickets!! Just letting others know….by the way it doesn’t come with pre sale codes

yep full price and no sale actually needed for pre-access then spent months agonising over whether I would get a ticket whilst some greedy buggers had one for every night and were completely shameless about it.

Same as you raggatwin, how did “fans” end up with tickets for every night?

“Do you have a message for your fans?”

Reminds me of how can you expect to be taken seriously video for some reason!

I had my one night only, picked up the rest with completely legal re-sales, luckily!

There were loads of legitimate resales right up until the Friday night, some people bought two tickets and were swapping/giving/selling to friends etc. Some people were almost giving spares away on the nights because of last minute sickness/dropping out etc.
I got two tickets, one in pre sale and one regular sale. I had the opportunity to get more through friends/resale but I didn't want to overspend, I'm just scraping minumum wage and 30% of that goes on rent, I like PSB but not going to put myself in debt. Some could afford to go every night and I don't begrudge them at all, I personally wouldn't have had the energy for it, apart from anything else!
I would have bought Volume anyway but got it for the code, which never turned up, so I got it off the website.
Again, it's not something I'm going to get angry about.

And to add, I'm less annoyed by the people who went for five nights than I am the people who dragged their bored partners along, who would rather have been anywhere else, and the folks who yakked incessantly throughout the gig and couldn't enjoy a gig for two hours without constantly running to the bar and then of course, the toilet, but that's an overarching alcoholism/attention thing I'm seeing across nearly every gig I go to.
