RE: [VIDEO] Ticket booking fees declared too expensive by Which?

dunno, it's good he stepped in, but the actual price of tickets is pretty cheap, I guess a $20 ticket is in the gods of a megadome, so you probably need opera glasses to see the screen, let alone dots on stage, "cheap" stadium tickets here started at £60 for them!

RE: [VIDEO] Ticket booking fees declared too expensive by Which?

I've seen a few more bands moaning about venues taking a big cut of merch, some even now going as far as to say no merch will be sold in the o2 owned/run venues! (I guess they hope these days the fans will buy the tour t-shirts online)

Also, saw that Robert Smith from the Cure the other day tweeting about how he tried to keep prices down for tickets, but I guess he couldn't stop ticketmaster for then adding on more and more for handling fees.....or could he?

Ticketmaster offers partial refunds to The Cure fans

Quote:
Ticketmaster has offered a partial refund to fans who bought tickets to see The Cure's upcoming US tour.

The company came under fire earlier this week, when it emerged that, in some cases, the fees added up to more than the face value of the ticket.

The Cure's frontman Robert Smith said he was "sickened" by the "debacle" and promised fans answers.


Quote:
One customer who bought four $20 (£16.54) tickets ended up paying $172,10 (£142), after service fees, a facility charge and an order processing fee were added.

Another, who wanted to see the band in Phoenix, Arizona, paid $72.25 (£59.75) for a ticket with the face value of $20 (£16.54).

RE: Voter ID

I'll mention it to my parents tomorrow, but I can just imagine them, and other elderly ppl turning up:

driving license please.

dad, gets out wallet, pulls out a 60+ yr old piece of paper that falls apart a little bit more

sorry sir, that's not valid, do you have a passport?

dad goes home to gets passport, him and mum spend half a day finding where they put them "safe", it expired years ago, which is fine, but decide, they really can't be bothered to go back again to polling station :(


I'm 99% sure the old guy next door won't have any photo ID, and if i say I'll help him get the free online one, I know his response will be "f them, if they don't want me to vote blah blah blah" :(

RE: Voter ID

thought I'd bump this as local elections coming up, email from my local council:
Quote:
Local elections on 4 May: The way you vote is changing

The Government has introduced a requirement for voters to show photo ID when voting at a polling station at some elections. This new requirement will apply for the first time on Thursday 4 May 2023, when local elections take place

You may already have a form of photo ID that is acceptable. You can find a list on our website. For more information on which forms of photo ID will be accepted, you can also visit the Electoral Commission website or call 0800 328 0280.

If you don’t already have an accepted form of photo ID or your ID no longer looks like you, you can apply for a free voter ID document known as a Voter Authority Certificate. You can do this online, or by completing a paper application and returning it to us, by 25 April 2023.

Or you may find it easier to vote by post or proxy, which don’t require you to provide photo ID. The deadline to apply for a post or proxy vote is Tuesday 18 April 2023

"Scab" Gabby Logan

http://www.ruck.co.uk/gabby-logan-comes-under-attack-on-twitter-for-presenting-six-nations/

I wonder how long this will last for?

I guess the BBC want Lineker to quit, as they would have to pay him so much if they get rid, and hope he asks his supporters to go back to work?

Will be interesting if he digs his heels in, and shows Alan Sugar et al. "Getting away with it"

RE: [VIDEO] So... what are you playing just now?

Resident Evil 4 on the GC was one of my fave games ever, completed main game, and then did loads of bonuses, extras etc

So, when I saw there was a downloadable demo of RE4 REmake on PS4 thought I'd give it a go, wow, I forgot how tense it is, and they've really ramped up the gruesome nice, I died in a way which made me squirm!
SPOILER:

possesed villager grabbed my head, and put his thumbs in my eyes
I didn't want to read too much but I read that they've kept it more or less the same, but changed bits, which is what I think they did with other remakes.

seemed pretty good so far, not sure how long the demo is.

I guess on Sky Sports? My dad doesn't have Sky Sports, but puts on one of the news channels to see the goals at 17:00, might be sky news, not sure. there's a high lights football net site which i go to at 17:00 see highlights, that have magiced themselves there from ppl recording them and making their own highlights :) usually there withing 30mins of final whistle, and usually from another English speaking feed

Match of the Day to air without presenters or pundits as Gary Lineker told to step backQuote:
Match of the Day will air later without a studio presenter, pundits, or its regular commentators, after the BBC told Gary Lineker to step back in a row over impartiality.

Pundits Ian Wright, Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and Jermaine Jenas have all said they will not appear on the show.

Alex Scott hinted the same while six members of the MOTD commentating team said they would also not take part.I guess some of them didn't want to appear as "scabs" .

nice the players asking permission to avoid fines:
Quote:
BBC Sport understands a number of players from various clubs contacted the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) to say they may want to show solidarity with Lineker and the MOTD pundits by boycotting the post-match interviews on the show.

The PFA - which has been in talks with players and clubs on the matter - are believed to be supportive of any players who choose to do so.


it's wierd like the Joe Lycett David Beckham World Cup thing, how one tweet becomes such a massive news story, and just like that, the post is more news than the subject.

(I'm aware of the irony in us adding fuel to the fire :) )

RE: BBC Lineker 'thing'..

it is an odd situation, ppl showing examples where Alan Sugar has criticised Govt, but that was OK, I guess he didn't compare them to Nazis?

Nice that Ian Wright is showing support, and as others have said, the fact that the Lineker thing was number 1 most read on BBC's site, but what he was talking about was further down says a lot :(

You could understand them being upset if he had said it live on Match of the Day, but his own personal twitter account, rather than a MotD should be fine.

BUT, having said that, Disney parted ways with Gina Carano after repeated stupid tweets and wrote her out of Mandalorian.

I could understand my boss having a word with me if on linked in I posted something bad, since it shows who i work for etc, but still shouldn't be seen as a view of the company, but twitter, facebook etc is ok?

Uncle Jessy does a lot of that kind of thing (and also sells them on etsy):

not sure where the guy in my SWGoH guild got his from, but he mentioned assembling it, I suppose it depends on size of printer, your head, how complicated helmet is, if it has a face or not etc

RE: [VIDEO] The Last of Us (HBO)

yeh, I enjoyed it, but guessed it wasn't just deer they were eating, but maybe it wasn't meant to be a surprise?

and yes, she certainly wasn't taking any chances :O

shame it's last one next week, seems they could made it longer, unless they were worried it wouldn't be as popular as it is, but then not having played the game, maybe those ppl would be moaning they'd put to much gumpf in to flesh it out ;)

I guess it's like books -> TV/film, moreso with film they have to work out what bits to chop

can't please all the ppl all the time :) We seem to be enoying it, another forum i was looking at, it seemed to be getting a "meh" response.
