Probably legal ? but I would be well pissed off if I had paid out the original price.

Me and a few mates managed to pick up tickets for OCS at the Hitchin Priory on a 2 for 1 deal due to low sales.

Skindred we're excellent last couple of times I saw them, a really fun show, albeit probably 15-20 years ago I think.
Ashcroft is I think the support act for all the UK Oasis gigs so he can't be too bad as a live act.
I've never heard of Ella.
Hope it makes the club lots of money and it becomes an annual thing that puts Stevenage on the music scene map again, (is Bowes Lyon House still a gig venue?)

I approached Bowes Lyon about hiring for gigs about three/four years ago and they weren’t interested in doing shows in there. Maybe they’d be interested now but I’m not 🤣
Skindred are great for about ten minutes then just gets a bit boring.
The tickets are too expensive for the lineups I think.
Pretty much anyone who would go to see Richard Ashcroft would have shelled out hundreds for the Oasis shows anyway. Are they going to pay another £60+ this year to see him 🤷🏻‍♂️
But yeah, hopefully it does well enough to get better lineups next year. These aren’t lineups that’ll shift 9500 tickets.

I bought an Oasis ticket for ÂŁ100 yesterday and get to see Richard Ashcroft and Cast for that, which seems better value than ÂŁ60+ for this, but each to their own!
As per other posts, all the adverts all over Hertfordshire and online promo seems like they are pushing ticket sales hard still

That's a bargain ,not sure how you did it given the original prices and the dynamic pricing thing.

Break even is usually 50% no?
So if they average 4500 and have sold a few VIP packages they should be OK.
I did some Safety Advisory Group planning for Ministry of Sound at Knebworth way back, pretty sure they lost a fucking packet on that weekend, less than 25% sold IIRC because MoS tried to do it all in house rather than hire a proper festival planner/promoter.
I also did a few bits for the Oasis and Robbie Williams shows, professionally planned by big names in the festival industry. Much tougher negotiators but they knew way better than us on the SAG how to put on a big profitable safe event.
There are plenty of people who think they know how to put on such events and find out the hard way...

Depends on payment deals with artists.
Id be surprised if they didn’t make a profit if they hit 3000 sales each show.

Today and Sun decent line ups.Wonder how much of an annual money spinner this could be .Seems it is possibly a partnership between us and the promoters as sure we are at least running the bars.

Going by the number of adverts and sponsored posts I’ve seen it’s either not sold that well(seating certainly hasn’t), or they’re pushing to sell them all out.
Not sure the lineups are strong enough to sell 9500 tickets anyways but good luck to them. At least it seems a bit more organised than the previous shambles.

The previous shambles was all tribute acts but like that Todd in The Hole thing, each to their own but would not pay out for that sort of thing.

This season's unsold kits + t-shirt cannon = a load of new Boro fans.
Marketing genius.
