Let's hope that it's the other way around, for Pinchy's sake.

Anyway I've been hearing a bit on the radio that Bob Dylan is coming to New Zealand and will be playing in Christchurch. I'm very, very tempted to go.

At least Bob Dylan's lowest ticket prices are reasonable at $85, although you'd have to be a diehard fan to get the Gold ones at $165, which is also quite reasonable considering what some other major acts charge for their gold tickets. $85 isn't enough to get me along though. Maybe if he was charging $40-50 I would have considered it.

The color of immortality, nature and envy - you are truly a unique person. While clearly the color of nature, you also symbolize rebirth, fertility and hope in the world. On the other side of the spectrum, a natural aptitude to money with green coming to signify money and possibly even *********!

Think i've only paid £20+ for one gig (Level 42). Don't particularly see the point in paying anymore than that. Festivals are a whole different matter though, Glastonbury works out as good value for me £150 divided by the 23 bands i want to see = £6.50 a band.

20 pounds is pretty much $45-50 Australian when converted. That's the great thing I found about U.K. and Europe was that tickets were much cheaper in comparison to Australia, but then I was on pretty good coin when working in the U.K...

One of the advantages of liking the 'obscure' bands that i do, is that tickets tend to be be sub-£10 price as well.

Haha. So true.

I also like to go to gigs of bands I've never heard of. If I've got nothing scheduled on a particular Friday or Saturday night, and there's a cheap gig on at The Zoo, The Globe or The Troubadour I'll usually make my way in. Got to know of a lot of bands I otherwise haven't heard of.

Also having mates in bands when they support other bands from interstate you get to see a few other bands you wouldn't have heard of.

I got the Gold tickets, although I wouldn't consider myself a diehard fan. AFAIC, Dylan's too important an artist to miss (never seen him before), and I really have to be close to the stage.

I was disappointed at the prices though. Dylan's hardly poor or concerned with money, and it's not like he's dragging a giant whizz-bang set around like the Rolling Stones do.

I saw on t'internet last night that Squeeze had reformed and were doing a tour. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they're coming to NZ, and Heath doesn't like them enough to journey to the States just to watch a band who were pretty good nearly 30 years ago, and without Jools Holland!

My parents are going to see Bob Dylan, I was sorely tempted to go as well but couldn't really afford it.
