 Robbie Williams Backlash Over Ticket Prices For Announced UK tour


Editor Katie Watkins 17/6/22

Former Take that singer Robbie Williams has left fans  fuming at the prices of  up coming Robbie Williams’ XXV tour., or which pre-sale tickets went live earlier today.   
It meant some fans had to let their tickets go after sitting in the Ticketmaster queue for more than half an hour, because they simply could not afford them.  

Fans took social media with their fustration and said with the cost of living crisis rife and inflation at the highest in 40 years at nine per cent, many of us fans are struggling to even afford their weekly shop, nevermind a £100 plus gig. 

It may be a treat, but the general feeling is the tour tickets are extortionate.  Exact prices for Birmingham’s Resorts World gig are unknown, although they range from £64.50 and go all the way up to £165.90. 

The singer, 48, kicks off his XXV UK tour in London on October 9 and it concludes November 1 in Dublin, with prices for front section seats currently listed at £308 at London's O2 Arena and £248 at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on Ticket.

Robbie's XXV tour will coincide with his album of the same name, which is set for release on September 9, which will mark 25 years as a solo artist.  

The former Take That star recorded orchestral versions of his greatest hits with the Dutch jazz and pop orchestra, Metropole Orkest, to celebrate a quarter of a century since the release of his debut solo album, 1997's Life Thru A Lens.  

The Rock DJ hitmaker, 48, posed naked on a statue for the album's striking artwork, which is an interpretation of The Thinker by French sculptor Auguste Rodin, with just his arms and legs covering his manhood.  

In a press release, Robbie said: 'I'm so excited to announce my new album 'XXV' which celebrates many of my favourite songs from the past 25 years.   'Each track has a special place in my heart so it was a real thrill to record them again with the Metropole Orkest. Can't wait for you all to hear it.

    Robbie brilliant and I do feel that certain tickets are pricey but compared to other acts of lower standard like Matt Goss who tried to charged £137.00 pound for the Pallidium, Matt concert failed to sell out with only 500 tickets being sold when they were reduced to £10 on seat filler site, I think Robbie a far better class of pop star than Matt Goss however concert tickets are getting more expensive. Pop stars do need a reality a check but fans are not forced to buy and if the tickets don't sell then the artist has only themselves to blame.

Matt Goss Beautiful Unknown London Show Fails To Sell Out

   Matt Goss Beautiful Unknown London Show Fails To Sell Out Editor Katie Watkin's 24/4/22 Matt Goss once again failed to generate any interest from fans for his one show London Palladium performance. Matt announced on social media, that he would be performing at the London Palladium on the 23rd of April. Ticket sales have been so low the singer had to reduce ticket prices in the attempt to fill the 2000 space capacity theater, with online giant Ticketmaster emailing fans and providing notifications about new seat allocation nearer to the stage.  This practice is normally done when a venue struggles to sell tickets. With Matt so desperate to try and fill the Palladium, he begged fans to buy up to 6 tickets each and gift them to family members and strangers.  His management team also took to social media begging fans to buy, with one fan Dee Murphy posting buy tickets it's less than a pedicure. Tickets last week continued to struggle with some fans once again purchasi...

Fleetwood Mac: after its 926 weeks on the chart, who’s still buying Rumours? Editor Katie Watkins 10-2-2022 Fleetwood Mac released Rumours forty-five years ago this month, an album that combined some what gauzy soft pop, manicured folk and stormy rock with a soap-operatic level of intra-band strife.  Rumours won album of the year at the U.S. Grammys,  achieved 20 times platinum status in the US alone. What’s truly remarkable about this album is the album longevity , and how it continues to sell  thousands of new physical copies each year, despite being available to stream.  According to the UK’s Official Charts Company, Rumours sold over 34,593 vinyl copies in 2021, third only to new albums by Adele and Abba, and beating  new release by such artist as Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey.  Rumours also sold over 32,508 copies the previous year and  is currently sitting at No 29 in its 926th week on the UK  Official album chart, which is now up five pl...
