An Evening With Sir Terry Pratchett

[Dotsie]

I don't think that 35 quid is expensive.
How much does a band cost to watch nowadays, or how much to watch MU play?

I bet MU cost more than TP and I know who I'd rather watch.

I don't have a job, so maybe my opinion is skewed. But I still think it sounds expensive.

Muse were a lot less than £35. And considering how long ago that was, it was a bargain (since I don't really get to go any more). I pay about £15 to see the Weddoes, and I'd rather see them twice than hear Terry talk about Snuff once (actually I'd still rather see them just once than hear Terry, but then I can read the book at my leisure).

MU cost £39, but in actual fact that's what it cost Mr Dotsie cos he wanted the company.

When I went to hear Iain Banks talking about his latest release, it was free. And he signed two books for me

Paranoia of serving someone underage

Exactly. They don't stop under 21s buying alcohol, you're just more likely to have to prove your age if you're 18-20.

Are you sure Muse were a lot less than 35 quid last year in Manchester.

 

[Dotsie]

I'll see if I still have the ticket. But since I didn't pay for that either, does it really matter? £35 to see Terry speaking about his book is expensive. Mr Moneybags can spend his money on what he likes, but I think it's a dear do.

I found it!

"13 Nov 2009 – Muse Tickets. Muse have announced two massive stadium shows for summer 2010. ... Tickets go on sale from 9am next Friday (November 20) and cost £45 for Manchester and £45 to £65 in London."

Then why don't the posters say "Over 18? You may be asked to prove it" or something.

I've read of stories where a woman and her daughter were in the supermarket doing the weekly shop, and they've refused to sell the woman a bottle of wine because her daughter was with her, and it "may be for her".

It's Cameron's Big Society to blame! :twisted:

Predates him.

It's Thatcher/Blair's Big Society to blame.

It wasn't a massive stadium show, which was at Old Trafford, it was in the student's union, because I COULDN'T AFFORD A MASSIVE STADIUM SHOW.

When you make people feel bad just to try and look clever, are you doing it deliberately, or are you just really thoughtless? Oh no, wait, you would never do that, how could I even suggest it?

Here are Dotsie - have a go with this...

or this...

[PoohKarrot]

Um...Dotsie....why are you throwing a hissy fit? Are you actually reading what anybody writes in this thread?

Or did Muse play two gigs in Manchester last year, one at OT which was expensive and one in the Student Union that was cheap?

How much were Muse in Manchester last September?

Probably a lot more

Muse were a lot less than £35. And considering how long ago that was, it was a bargain (since I don't really get to go any more).

Excatly what did I say wrong to merit that level of sarky response?

 

[Dotsie]

So, after I said it was expensive, why did you post this:

I don't think that 35 quid is expensive.

I bet MU cost more than TP and I know who I'd rather watch.

Who were you talking to if not me? What I spend my money on is none of your damn business.

If you can't be civil, just stay away from me.

I get to go for free as i work at The Theatre Royal, what luck! Wonder if Sir Terry will let me purchase a copy of Snuff straight from him. Would be great to hand sir terry a twenty pound note and thank him for his autograph

You got a deal. I'll stay away from you and you stay away from me.
