  1. I bet he still tapes it on his fucking phone rather than being in the moment.

  2. Thank god I got into electronic music and got to see the likes of Underground Resistance in some dingy sweat box in the arse end of Yorkshire for £15

  3. What’s next? National news about a guy who buys a refrigerator?

  5. It’s dickheads like him that make it dearer for the rest of us. It wouldn’t surprise me if this guy is just a ticket master shill to normalise/justify silly prices.

  6. I agree with him. It’s his last gig and he has a huge back catalogue of absolute bangers. I hope it’s all filmed so the poor can enjoy it :p

  8. How can anything be ‘beyond’ priceless? Isn’t that like saying infinity+1?

  9. The last performance of a band who literally kick started a music genre, with their lead singer. Supported by some of the biggest acts in that genre.

    Yeah, I would probably agree with him on that.

  11. I’d love to see this gig too, but 6 grand! Seriously, 6 bloody grand!

    I can think of so many better uses for that sort of money than a gig. That’s more than 2 months of my Salary.

    This person clearly has more money than sense.

  13. I’m prepared to spend whatever it takes to get a seat, no matter how shit. It’s a once in a lifetime chance and I want to be there. Sadly no luck in any of the pre-sales so far though.

  14. They’re not beyond priceless, they were 3k apiece. Stupid headline.

  15. If they sold for 6k it’s hardly “beyond priceless”. Explicitly, 3k each.

  17. Look I love Sabbath , I even have a tattoo of them but I just couldn’t justify spending that sort of money on any gig . Also is it just me or do the quotes just sound like an advert

    “This isn’t just a concert, it’s a pilgrimage, a chance to pass the torch to the next generation while watching the final chapter of a story that changed music forever, right where it all began.”

    😂

  18. I started reading thinking “flash cunt”, but after reading his rationale I now think fair play to the bloke.

  19. Just waiting now for Ozzie to either croak or bail from the gig due to ill health. The whole thing seems like an ill conceived mess.

  20. Man spends his money on something that makes him happy shocker!

  21. Mug.
    £50 quid each maximum and the gig would need to be in London

    Concert tickets are ridiculously priced. So I just don’t bother anymore.
