I do feel a bit sick paying that much though

---

Most I have ever paid for a gig.  Only times I paid more for an individual ticket was Wimbledons Mens final (£175), Ireland v Scotland in Rugby World Cup (216 Euro) and Ireland v England at Twickenham (£149) a couple of months ago.  All one offs.  I think highest price for a gig is The Who at The O2 (£90) and only paid that because I got a production seat in the front block a day before the gig was scheduled (it was postponed as Roger Daltrey was ill).  I can somewhat rationalise it in that I have no travel nor accommodation, so the only extra cost is a meal and a few drinks. Some excessive discretionary spending has to be done.   
I was planning a trip to Mexico for World Cup which now wont be taking place (well not for me, now Ireland havent qualified), so arguably that has "saved" me about £10,000.  Similarly its unlikely I will be in Hungary for European Cup final. 

PS - I spent less flying to Dublin, staying in a hotel besides Trinity college and watching a Bowie almuni band in Whelans than I will going to see pulp.  However, the next Bowie alumni gig is eye-wateringly expensive. £2500/person.  Wont be going  https://www.cameronhouse.co.uk/offers/bowie-live-on-the-loch/

Are you going to see Holy Holy's last tour? Got a ticket for Sheps Bush.

 Highly likely. Not got a ticket, but there seems to be plenty available. Will ask some friends if they are interested.

 Got a discounted resale ticket, so I will be going. Friends (if any go) can sort themselves out.

The general sale was a lot quicker to get through, if you gave up those morning, try now!

I got a stalls one, bloody expensive £146 so if anyone is happy with a back-row balcony one for roughly half the price, I'll be happy to sell.

Do you mean to sell you a cheaper one and buy yours? I got a back-of-the-stalls ticket which is cheaper, but I'd like further forward.. where is your ticket?

Sorry, I meant that I had bought a back balcony one initially but then in the main sale managed to get a front stalls one so was happy to sell the balcony one which I now have.

I don't think the front stalls are worth £55 more - the sound is really good at the RFH from all sections and at least you'll get a full view of the stage from up there.

Ah fair enough. Yeah I guess, still disappointed though. I was exactly five rows further forward for Stereolab and could barely see them!

Do you have any advice on how to sell or transfer the tickets? E-tickets will only be issued 24 hours before the event.

After a lot of refreshing on the sold-out website, my friend and I managed to grab some tickets (I believe they were released from cancelled or expired baskets) - but we ended up with two spare ones and now need to get rid of them.

If anyone is interested, please let me know - one is for the rear stalls (row HH, side), the other for the front stalls (row N, central), face value £140 each - which is bizzare, but they were both price category A.
