[Xris1234]

( Novemebr 9 ) Hi is anyone going to this ?

I am rearanging plans to make it work . but would prefer not to go Alone.I want to buy the ticket asap but there are like 5 different tiers of ticket.If anyone is going and wants to meet up would be great (45 yo guy from New Zealand )

[stoner]

[bob smith]

i wouldn't go even if they were paying me! axl rose is a complete washout in 2022.

Seems like a couple of hundred years since I saw them in Phoenix. They showed up two hours late and were so wasted they could hardly perform. Apparently they didn't realize I had to go to work the next morning.

If I wanted to see a fat 60 year old American singing I'd go to Tawandaeng at 10pm.

"They are still going? I thought Axel Rose was too far gone from his previous health history to go on stage again.

I’m often left wondering how the promoters of the big name acts arrive at the seat prices:

 

Cheapest tickets in Melbourne Australia 2,500 baht, average weekly wage 45,000 baht per week

Cheapest tickets Bangkok 4000 baht, average weekly wage 25,000 baht per week.

 

I stopped going to top sport fixtures and concerts after paying £ 125 a ticket 20 years ago to see the Stones. Plenty of good bands and other entertainment (!!) available here in LoS without paying for someone’s inflated lifestyle.  Having said that the Stones were good.

 

PS. I’m sure I’ll receive plenty of corrections to the average wage figures I quoted. Median figures were different.  They were the first ones of many lifted off a google search, which pretty much sums up the internet for you.

In the '60s and '70s, rock concerts were a lot of fun - just about everybody was flying high and out to have a good time.

   Many years later spending summers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at my brother's place I went to several that featured oldtimers like Willie Nelson, David Crosby, and a few others at different times.

With everybody stone cold sober it was a completely different experience.

Bangkok could become a real "concert hub" if the current liberalization of ganja laws isn't derailed by the drug warriors.

Yes makes no sense at all ... should be half the price of Aus but somehow people pay it

That is what one hippie said to the other when they ran out of LSD at a Grateful Dead Concert..."These guys really suck" ????

Ticket prices aren't set based on average wage. They are set to the highest value they think they can charge while still packing the venue out.

 

Clearly average-wage earning Thais aren't the target market in this case.

All Thais don't earn minimum wage.  Many live quite well.  Choosing to go to a G&R show is a different story though.

It is a concert hub, more here than anywhere. Just not for washed up western acts.
