Booking tickets for concerts 2 years in advance!
January 29 2010
Back in September 2009 I received my usual weekly e-mails from all the concert/gig websites informing me that Muse were doing a tour in 2010 and were going to be playing Lancashire County Cricket Club in Manchester. I couldn’t wait to see them again, then that I noticed the date – September 2010!! I was booking tickets for a concert nearly 12 months in advance – I’m the type of person who doesn’t know what they’re doing at the weekend on Friday, let alone where I’ll be and what I’ll be doing in 12 months time!
This seems to be a growing trend as Peter Kay (ok, I know he’s not music) released tickets for his 2011 tour in 2009. Gone are the days of queuing up in the rain on the day of concert for tickets – now you have to be poised over a computer 2 years in advance!
