Does anyone know what the ticket prices were for the Royal Albert Hall?

I know it's sold out I was just wondering if KJ were part of the recent trend of charging pretty outrageous prices.

Tickets are £39 at the moment

I don't know if that is a lot or not really considering the venue and the fact that bands only make money from gigs and merch these days

Hard to say.

I think it represents good value when compared to going to see some people's favourite football team.

It all depends where you are seated at the RAH. I paid £60 for a seat immediately behind the standing area. I think it's cheaper up in the gods.

But....its a great venue, full of atmosphere and history, far better than any arena in my view

Yes sound can be a bit iffy for Rock though, really designed for Classical but still worth Money, KJ such a tight band live, would love to see them.Lt Kudu.

I was there but up in the gods. The sound wasn't great up there tbh.

I've seen Iggy Pop and Ghost there...both times the sound was really great....really clear

However, the Horrors were really muddy!

Hard to say what KJ might sound like there....will probably be fine if they keep the volume down!

Got my ticket for this the day they went on sale, already a contender for best gig of 2023. :smt001

Been to the RAH a couple of times for gigs - Stranglers and Buzzcocks/Skids/Penetration, sound to me was fantastic.

Even 2023 is doubtful for a new KJ album. Lot's on going though.

It was great at the time, the recording was flat as a witches tit for me.
