Apparently Neil posted this on the Matador Records bulletin board after hoards of people came whining and arguing over the high price of tickets on the tour. I'm so impressed by Neil sometimes, he's such a badass! And have you seen him, ladies? Not so hard on the eyes, as well..... B&S' Management Ticket Prices - Dry Your Eyes Mon Feb 18 12:07:15 2002 62.252.128.5 I have every sympathy with folk who genuinely can't afford tickets for the shows. Life's like that. But Anonymous (Brave name by the way), when we're in Canada I'll put you on the guest list and you can come down and call us "money-hungry hoards" to our faces(and explain what a hoard it is). And then I'll punch your fucking lights out. We've walked away with money from a gig TWICE in the last four years. And we're not making a cent fromthese upcoming dates. Quite the opposite actually, as usual we'll subsidise it to the tune of several thousand dollars. If you'd gone in to Matador in September last year, one look at their faces would have told you how much the last tour cost. Incidentally, it's nice to see you all know that we're planning on the next tour. There's not 8 people playing, there's 13. Quite a difference. I see that we are one of the more expensive tickets. Understand though, this is what it costs. There's no fucking mystery. Either we tour at this price, or we don't tour at all. It's not fucking compulsory. We've given you the choice. The obvious thing to do would be say to yourself "No, I'm not paying that", rather than come on here and spout shite about a bunch of people you've never met and, for your sake, you better never meet. Either it's worth it or it's not, and personally I don't give a fuck whether you think it is or not. Especially given that following your thread you eventually decide you don't like the band, and they're a parody. Why do you care about the ticket price if the band are so shit? Confused? I am. Pretty girl on the cover? Err, it's one of the band. Sorry about that, I'll slap her about a bit next time I see her. Really, fannies like you coming on talking like you have a fucking clue. Piss off. Life's too short to worry about the likes of you. Go and like somebody unpopular. You seem more suited to that, and at least you'll be in the company of like-minded people.
