I reckon the original damned were offered a lot of money to tour and someone else organised it all, but misjudged demand.

It's obvious that either this line up would implode and only do this tour, or carry on but not at the premium price. So either way, it would be easy for fans to sit this one out and get reasonable priced tickets next time around.

I don't see it a the damned being greedy, just maybe over reaching. It would be the same if say, 15/ 20 years ago the original Stranglers got together. We know it wouldn't last for ever so we'd be balancing out the cost of a one off, or seeing the same songs played cheaper the following year.

Just got my tickets, sent email, today. A note from agency "Please note that if you requested to have your tickets sent out in the post, the delivery method has been changed to e-tickets. This is to ensure you will receive your tickets in time for the event."
Smashing, doesn't fucken mention any refund of the £5 mail out cost that I forked out for and they've obviously just trousered.
I tell ye, Ticket Agencies, they could have got a job riding with Dick Turpin back in the day.

Well if they could at least hold it together until Friday evening I'd be grateful - I've paid enough for these tickets.
I hope they play "One Way Love"...
