With Blur, Pulp, and that Liam Gallagher + John Squire project all touring this year there would have never been a better or more realistic year to do one of those one day themed fests like Goldenvoice does themed around Britpop and I'm still mad that didn't happen and they threw Blur on Coachella instead
I could do without Liam, but I was so hoping Blur and Pulp would tour N. America together, they could have filled an arena here in NYC if they co-headlined - Blur played MSG back in 2015 (I think) and properly sold about 2/3rds of it (the rest magically got filled the day of).

What venue? I was planning to buy for Palm Desert but two floor tix were $490 and the cheapest upper seats I saw were $375/pair. So I was overandout without buying. Hoping for cheap ones on secondary later.
I picked up seats for $84 after fees for Palm Desert but they were pretty much the the back row.
The back row is showing as $99 or $125 after fees for me.

Kula Shaker played some tiny venues here last fall and I'm sure they could gave used the paycheck for something like this.
Thanks. FWIW, I got a nosebleed seat near the back of the arena for $102 and change, including fees. It's sad that that's now what passes for a reasonable price at an arena show.

Had some good floor seats (Row 15, aisle) for Chase Center, but they were $580 after fees for the pair. Not a big fan of sitting in permanent seats at arena shows - I feel trapped.
Shame I'll miss him this last time around, but had a fucking blast at those Bowl shows in 2016.

Relieved I copped Hans Zimmer tickets yesterday. The presales today looked like a bloodbath. Curious if demand/resale prices stay high leading up to the show, but I'd rather have these booked just in case

TD Garden in Boston. I'm pretty much resigned to buying the cheapest seats available for most shows now, which is what I did here.

These themed fests would be a great way to bring back the touring festivals of the 90's - the original Lollapalooza, Warped Tour, Ozzfest, Lilith Fair, Guinness Fleadh, etc. They usually have a main stage and a smaller, secondary stage. Willie Nelson's Outlaw music festival seems to be the last of the genre (for now).

The Charlatans, Suede, Manic Street Preachers, Ride (not really britpop but adjacent) all toured NA in the last year or so also. would be a fun day

Yeah could have thrown all them on too. And then maybe a couple modern Britpop inspired bands to round it out. I think that would have sold really well as a one off thing

Warped had 8 stages on average per stop
*Usually*
Warped is an outlier in a number of ways, mostly because it lasted 15-20 years longer than all of the other 90's touring festivals. (When I went to the Guinness Fleadh in its last year, there was one big stage, one side stage around which one or two thousand people could gather, and a very small tent that seated less than 200. Technically, three stages. But a lot of the touring fests happened almost exclusively at sheds, and they'd add one side stage on the grounds, and two was it.)

You're onto something with the Ride suggestion. Make it Britpop & Shoegaze, and you could have a really interesting lineup with a little variety. Maybe get a couple of U.S. jangling power-pop artists from the era, too...Matthew Sweet, that sort of thing.

Warped lasted Probably because it was cheap and meant for kids who would keep coming back. The weird thing is they tried to revive Lilith Fair for example and nobody gave a shit at the moment even though the lineup was solid. If they had it again right now you would probably see sold out dates everywhere.

I’m now trying to buy Pulp tickets on Stubhub and they’re not processing my payments. I’m being super relaxed and chill about this rn😎👍
Okay I got one! We can finally relax everyone, shuck is in fact going to see Pulp this fall. World peace is here, all diseases have been cured, and the dove is floating across the endless sea with an olive branch.
Honestly, not much. The only shows that are way overpriced on second market are the Brooklyn shows because of the seating I guess. Everything else is within the same price. I got a chicago ticket for a buddy on stubhub and it only came out to $135 after fees. Pit for Brooklyn is $300 before fees.
Weirdly my ticket was only $10 more than face, but I forgot Stubhub takes a cut of fees on both ends. So whoever sold me that ticket probably made zilch but Stubhub sure got something. @ stubhub boo we hate your pussy etc

brooklyn scalpers seem to be benefitting the most. i want to see pulp v badly but im gonna wait to see if the market cools or they add more shows. 275 after fees for a bad seat is horseshit
