Was looking at getting tickets for Queens of the Stone Age at Spurs next July but a quick look suggested cheapest tickets are about £170 EACH!
I earn pretty well but I'm priced out. Is that normal to watch a few hours of music these days?
Jesus wept...

Pretty much. Smaller gigs are cheaper, but last couple of times I booked for the O2 it was 130 quid.
Woolwich wants a 70.000 seats stadium... Is your stadium expandable?
Their stadium isn’t expandable, not in an easy way.
It's ridiculous..
Was going to get two tickets and take my brother but by the time you factor in trains, food and drink I could get a package holiday or a City break...
Can't justify that, not a big system of a down fan I would just be going to see Qotsa and they will probably do a set for about an hour.
I've met Josh Homme he's really tall! And friendly!
Nice, he does come across that way in interviews.
I've never seen them live but they seem to be one of the only proper rock bands still going these days. At least in the semi-mainstream.
It’s mental.
I looked at Gorillaz tickets recentky. Figured it would be a £400- 500 day/night out for two of us
I don’t get it. As according to the IFS people earning £1100 a week are doing very well. After tax.
They are in the top 10% of earners.
So who the hell is spending their money on concerts? As there is no fucking way I'm paying £500 to watch some cartoons play some music.
Who is buying these tickets in a supposed cost of living crisis? Something doesn’t add up.
It wasn't as good as when I went to see him at the O2.
My daughter and her boyfriend are going to see Gorillaz at WHL. £110 a ticket. Mental. They both work full time and neither pay rent or utility bills, both get fed at home most of the time. Lots of disposable income. That’s certainly one demographic.

People just bunging it on the credit card and hoping for the best I suspect.
I had a mate who got depended on the devils dandruff. Tried to put him off by switching his resources for salt and him being a dopey git. I didn't think someone could have such a violent nauseas reaction to salt, but there we go. By observation, I wouldn't recommend that.
(He did also disappear on one night out for a good hour, having asked to borrow the car keys to get his cigs he'd left in it. Found him trying and failing to fit his beak close enough to the line he'd made on the dashboard, as the rake of the windscreen was too shallow to fit his face into. We're not talking about a genius here)

Is he an MP or a banker?
I think a lot of it is Instagram lies, that pretend people should be able to go to a lady gaga concert after work on a friday every week and then creamfields etc. during the year, plus all sorts of shit and still have breathing room to invest in a buy-to-let, whilst 'flipping' something as a 'side hustle'
I expect a lot of it is on the never-never

No he worked for a big industrial engineering company doing HVAC.
Bear in mind there's a generational change and inflation, but at the time when minimum wage was like £5, he got a kind of apprenticeship of sorts at £30k. I don't think he ever did any work, as it sounded like him and his colleagues spend most days duct taping people to walls and cocking about. It was the people who he worked with who got him into drugs, and I used to fall out with him a lot because back then (max power days) we'd be constantly getting pulled over and he'd be getting in the car with class As falling out of his pocket (like I want that stuff found under my seat).
He was the kind of guy who would say he'd be designated driver on a night out and then you'd find him shitfaced at 10pm. He couldn't drive a car straight after a few and would bounce off the kerbs, so it would then be a battle to get the keys off him. One of those people who, when you get older, you wonder why you were friends with them - yet at the same time, he was seen as 'fun' so you lose your social circle when you refuse to hang about with him
Most of the population are living in sin with their flexible friends. I binned off my credit cards years ago as the debt was stressing me out.
But I know a lot of people with tena of thousands of debt who literally give zero fucks.
It's not for me
If used sensibly credit cards can be useful and offer more protection than using cash or a debit card, but I agree that if you can't pay it off every month don't get one. Interest rates are usually insane anyway.
The only exception is interest-free sign-up deals where you can stick a big purchase on the card and then setup a direct debit to pay it off before the deal expires. I did that with a massive (£,6000!) dental bill last year. I could have withdrawn funds from savings, but decided to let NatWest loan me the money interest-free instead. Once the deal expires that card goes in the shredder.
