Old-Dutch The thought of watching a public school boy band is weird as fuck. The media is full of them, I don’t need to see them on stage too.

Old-Dutch except when I heard a remix of clocks dropped by diggers at the beach circa 2002. That was boss.

Same night I heard Afro left.

I think.

Didn’t know they had a member called Afro.

Not very politically correct is it?

Sounds absolutely horrific.

Old-Dutch they are terrible, was working on Friday at there Dublin gig,tho the light show was impressive there music is basically diet u2, Chris Martain reminds of a spoilt kid in your class that has every toy yet know one likes.

At one point in the gig he points the camera at people in the audience and sings a verse about them (puke inducing) he gets to this large fella with sunglasses on says he looks like an overweight Bono! The whole stadium laughs at this fella , half way through the next song Chris ( the comedian) stops and apologies to the man after he realizes the mask slipped. During the gig they have kinetic mats that by people jumping up and down it contributes to powering the stage! Chris flew on a private jet to a friends wedding yesterday hence no gig and he’s flown back today for the tonight’s gig very green, he’s an absolute bell end.

I was at a gig of theirs in Marley Park, circa 2004. We were all working for Golden Pages at the time and got free tickets. He forgot the words of the same tune twice, and reloaded the band twice, the second time he laughed and said something like “this wouldn’t happen to Bono”. Place went mental. Woooooooh.
The place was full of twats hanging on his every word, at one point he was just mumbling into the microphone about the trees in the park and some other shite. A mate of mine bought a tray of 7-Up from one of the vans and was selling them for twice the price to clowns in the crowd, if it wasn’t for the craic watching him take money off these people it would’ve been a horrendous day out.

Heno Coldplay in Croke Park. And the 1920 audience think they had it bad!

Old-Dutch

Hahaha said it all. Absolute weapon

LT42 your mate invented dynamic pricing! Chris Martin is such a prick.

bosstrabs Really dynamic pricing has been around for a long time, but it used to be called price discrimination.

Basically, whenever a firm realises that they can jack the price up due to high/inelastic demand, they do. It’s happened for years on our railways, for example, with peak-time pricing to maximise revenue. Cinemas, airlines, hotels and so on.

The ‘dynamic’ part of it is just that it’s, I suppose, is that the pricing can be even more responsive to data coming in about demand now that everything’s online or through apps. Previously, your data was just ’oh, there’s a really big queue outside Piccadilly Records’.

In short, profit maximisers being bigger cunts more immediately.

Thanks Dave, question was specific to tickets for gigs, which I had (naively) assumed were a fixed cost.

Familiar with the wider economic use of dynamic pricing.

You OK though babes? Worried seeing Rhouses’ new Sneaks has induced some form of )hopefully temporary) AssBERKers?

Chill MC, fucking hell. Soz.

*Also you mean ‘fixed price’ - fixed cost means costs (of production) that don’t change with output/number of customers. Fixed cost would be cost of renting the space and electricity for putting on a gig. (Variable cost would be cost of something like cost of printing passes, depending on numbers sold).

Bono, now there’s a massive cunt.

Saw U2 at Roundhay Park in Leeds, PopMart tour.

Can’t exactly remember the opening sequence, but they stepped out of that giant lemon and rattled through Even Better Than The Real Thing, Mofo, Last Night On Earth, The Fly, Pride, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For… the whole place absolutely rocking.

Then Bono spends about 5 fucking minutes mumbling shite between songs, killing the atmosphere worse than Hugo at a JC meet-up, inviting some daft slag on stage to sing songs, absolute madness - from potentially the best stadium gig I’d been to probably (I’ve seen lots of more exciting bands in smaller venues, mind), to the shittest, in the space of a few short minutes.

Dan Marino is nice all getting a bit gentrified now, Summerhill is still quite colorful.

Smallman1 BENS there rabbiting in your ear about the Business Class lounge on the way over while you’re gurning your face off, wondering if you’ve accidentally taken a bad one and Chris Martin’s vocals are some horrific vortex-destroying nightmare.

Smallman1 It was off the chain. The good old days.
