Mayhem nowhere near Emperor in terms of popularity,both bands might have come out of the first wave of BM etc.But Emperor streets ahead in terms.of out output imo,Mayhem living on reputation more than anything else.

Careful now Ted....
That's controversial!

Quote from: A.A.P on February 28, 2023, 04:48:42 PMSeen the instagram post saying tickets for this 70% sold out already.

Went to get one and standing is €73.15?!

Can someone explain what that price is about? The same show in Glasgow is £55 (I think even £55 is too much by the way).

Mayhem are an active and touring band. Emperor do a handful of shows for 2-3 years, break up then get back together and do the same all over again. I mentioned earlier tickets for the US shows are $100 so far more expensive then here and tickets for the Australian shows in May are 100 aus which or more less what we are paying here.

I do understand Emperor play less and this show will be more 'special' in terms of setlist and the fact they haven't played here before.

It doesn't stop the price being mental to me.

Have you ever paid €73 including ticket fees for a single metal gig in Dublin before? If you have i'm sure not many.

They're €65 plus whatever Ticketmaster take on top. £55 is €63.

I guess your're right about the conversion and fees. It's priced me out anyway. I'm not used to paying that for any metal band other than the likes of Maiden maybe or a festival.
