Gigs

The Proclaimers' gig at Letterkenny Summer Sessions turns out to be a double headline show with Deacon Blue. Early bird tickets are sold out, whereas general tickets are still available at the time of writing this.

It sounds like a fun evening, two legendary Scottish bands performing together, but I decided to skip this one to focus on the Belfast show. For one thing, I have no idea how to get there. Custom House Square is quite accessible as it’s located not far from the City Airport, but the way to Letterkenny looks much more complicated. I will be flying from Glasgow and in that case, the route might include long bus/train journey. It’s probably easier if I get there from Dublin, but that would make my schedule pretty hectic. I don’t want that. But I will stay flexible, just in case.

As for Todd Rundgren concert, I got lucky and won SS-class (orchestra pit) seat. Although, my seat number will not be notified until much later. Better not be overexcited because I could be in the far end of the front row seats. More waiting!

I’m very happy I got my ticket, but there is one thing I’m not happy about. It’s the ticket price. The price is as follows: SS-class ¥19,800, S-class ¥16,000, A-class ¥14,800. All of these are dropped to ¥5,000 if you’re under 25. What the fuck?

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a good idea to offer tickets for young audience at a reasonable price. But ¥5,000 is way too cheap. It shoud be half the price, at least. What if your’re 26? You have to pay ¥14,800 more for SS-class ticket just because your’re one year too old. Mad.
