Of course they would and they are good enough to do it

Briz · 25-08-09, 16:53

Unfortunately this has moved away from the point I was trying to make.

That the Tourist will probably be a significant contributor and they will not know how good it is. Would you pay 29 Euros per person to see three acts you have never heard of in a foreign holiday destination.

Times are tight and the previous failure shows that no matter how good acts are you need people to buy tickets.

Kingy · 26-08-09, 11:02

I have to agree, that's quite a sum of money for an unknown act, regardless of how good they are.

Having said that, i wish the venture well!

Janet · 26-08-09, 11:50

Ditto Kingy. I'm afraid that I'd only spend that sort of money if I knew the acts. I'd spend it on going to see Bitter and Twisted, for example, or We Will Rock You, but I'd not gamble on a new show at that price.

Wish it well too, though.

I am going on Saturday and I will post a full write up here on the forum.

I loved Pink Wall and understand a lot of time and trouble has gone into the planning of this show. I am really excited.

Watch this space

I wish you all the best in this venture.

May I ask, what is the thinking behind the 'locals' price reduction?

As a tourist, do you think i'm likely to frequent an establishment where I know i'm paying 10 euro more than the guy beside me?

Think again.

Think again.

Tourists pay more at lots of things

With the tourist it's only a single visit, but if they were to go every night perhaps they could negotiate a discount.

Surely even a resident isn't going to go that often...??

I have to admit that the price jumped out at me. My first thoughts were 'I could have seen the Pretenders for €20 back in July. why would I pay €30 to see tribute acts?'.

I mentioned it to somebody yesterday and the reaction was 'do you get a meal included in the price?'.

Still, I wish the show all the best.
