Brighton and Those God Damn Internet Ticket Touts…
Last weekend me and my girlfriend made the trek down to the south coast to Brighton. I wasn’t really sure what to expect to be honest, with many different stories that I had been told creating several different images of the place in my head.
As it happened it was lovely. The sun scorched my skin three days in a row (fortunately I tanned) and the flat that my uncle kindly let us stay in was beautiful. The main highlight was getting to visit some fantastic pubs, and eating some truly wonderful food. I was lucky enough to get to visit Jamie Oliver’s Italian twice, and both times I was treated to a culinary feast. Loved it.
Yesterday saw tickets for Muse’s Resistance Tour go on sale, which promptly sold out in a matter of minutes (28 to be precise) and I was unlucky enough to not get one. I was infuriated by the number of tickets that immediately appeared on Ebay shortly afterwards, which made me wonder that surely us honest fans should do something to try and get this made illegal. It just seems so unfair on the honest diehard fans (like myself) to have to miss out on the gig, or even be extorted by these t*****s by having to buy tickets at a premium on Ebay (an act which I flatly refuse to relegate myself to).
As may be obvious, not a great deal is happening on this wet Saturday night, as I am fairly skint after last weekend, and many of my usual drinking companions are otherwise engaged, hence why I am blogging. I have just got hold of a number of new albums, and so am going to take this opportunity to go and listen to them very loud on my headphones. I will report back my findings at some point.
