It shouldn’t be a surprise that tickets to the first My Bloody Valentine show in 16 years sold out in minutes this morning, and I wasn’t able to get one. The proverbial carrot has never seemed more tantalising.
To all the f**kers on eBay who are already selling tickets for obscene profit: you are the scum of this earth, and you are preventing real fans from watching their favourite bands of all time. I hope that some of your tickets don’t sell, and you end up having to go to the show, to watch a band you actually don’t like too much just so that – in line with your horseshit priniciples – you feel less cheated.
Then I hope that you develop mild levels of tinnitus from the show, making sleep difficult at nights and serving as a faint, persistent reminder of the selfishness which caused other genuine fans to miss out.
Ok, I’m off to sit in the bath and sob like some pathetic boy who didn’t get Super Optimus Prime for Christmas.1
EDIT: They announced another London date to help meet the demand, and my friend bought a ticket for me. I am so. Happy.
- This never happened to me. In fact, one Christmas, my hinting proved successful to the point of receiving not one but two Super Optimus Prime toys. I was able to return one and buy many other goodies. I hope my grandmother is not reading this post. [↩]
I bought an extra ticket and was just about to offer it and then I realised you have one!!!I’m so excited about this…one of my friends swears he will not sleep till June!
