Mixed feelings
by Tony on 15/12/2024First Direct Arena - LeedsRating: 4 out of 5What slipknot played was awesome, they blew me away with an amazing, powerful performance. But 80 minutes for £320? When you also add on the fact that arenas all over are now gouging our eyes out with the price of beer and another increase in the price of merch, it's just too much. Love slipknot, they are truly unique! But I hate being ripped off. Live music is not something that should see us punters having to cough up a small fortune for. Dynamic ticket pricing is just greedy profiteering and should be banned. Venues shouldn't be allowed to charge around £8 for a can of Guinness. It's simply wrong. Slipknot's gig scores 10 out of 10 for what they played but only 5 out of 10 for VFM. The Leeds arena (and every other large venue these days) need to stop ripping us off!
