When I first saw £40 a ticket, I thought " What the F***?".
But actually, I heard a couple of weeks ago that U2 were doing a tour and that tickets for their concert in Manchester were £70!
So what's that all about then?
Man...do these guys actually need the money?
Or is it just some prestige game of numbers?
Like some ass**le of a football player here who was on the news, complaining that he was unhappy with his pay and needed it upped to £80,000 per week.
Jesus! That's over ten grand a day for just getting out of bed!
I don't know amigos, the insanity in this world is slowly overtaking me now and I can't really keep up with it like I used to..[:D][:D]
So maybe Paco's £40 a seat gig isn't so bad after all....I think he's pretty well set up, but he's no Elton John or Paul McCartney...and there are the other guys in the band to pay as well...
Hey Nigel (El Ratón de Watford), wouldn't it be easier for you to go to Paco's concert in London?
Or is it the call of the hills and the heather that attracts you? [:D][:D]
cheers
Ron
