Big Wooly Mammoth Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Ah F*ck. I'm a big Elvis Costello plan. First saw him in 1980. Although, I was dissapointed with that show as he played too much of his "new" stuff. I wouldn't mind seeing the Police. But the price will probably be prohibitive for me. Trying to find a cheap ticket at the venue and getting in late will be of no use as I want to see EC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I was staring at a pair of floor tickets in the 10th row... for $500 dollars!! Then I started thinking about all the other things I could do with the money and let them go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see them at Bluesfest, although an outdoor venue for them seems kind of strange. But, I'd take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
