Is was hoping to go see system of a down but the prices are just insane £300 for a ticket by the time u get transport and a hotel that’s £500 each and on a Monday night so u can’t even make a weekend of it and from a band that is ( against the establishment ) I think they have changed in to massively profiteering and it’s a shame

Omega nebula is my next, not metal but am still waiting on falling in reverse new dates as I still have my ticket. Last gig was papa roach. Worst gig ive ever been too because I had to sit down and my seat was pretty high up so not the best of gigs. Also the standing crowd had never heard the word moshpit they just stood there 😳 was pretty boring unfortunately

Dynamic pricing is such a horrific thing to do for gigs! They were cheaper on the Tottenham stadium page, so it shows who’s actually adding to the cost.
