Just back from Neil Young/Bob Dylan concert in Hyde Park last night, for a 50+ year old guy who likes music, it was a nightmare experience (apart from the heart of the matter which was 90 mins of Neil Young magic) to be honest. Couldn't see the artists as anything other than a spec in the distance and a big screen barely visible because of direct sunlight. £160 for two tickets, £120 for train/underground. Not allowed to take food/drink so £75 for a couple of beers each and a pizza, battle through drunken crowd to the loo, people talking through the set, felt like punching them!£355 in total for a day of discomfort. How much would i have given to have been in the comfort of my own home with a fully immersive experience my own beer and food etc etc. The big point to me being the whole thing being distilled down to the key 90 mins rather than hours (to me anyway) of Hell! I'm at home currently booking my teenage daughter and her friend tickets to see Ed Sheeran in Ipswich, she said,dad "the tickets are only £82 plus booking fee" I hold 3m shares in EVRH, this is only going one way over the next few years if we don't get bought out first.
