Re: What would it cost today........

To see Queen today (if Freddie was still with us) would cost about £60-£80, i saw loads of bands in the 70s and probably didn't pay more than £3 for a ticket to see any of them. i used to save the ticket stubs but foolishly sold them all to a collector for about a fiver around 20 years ago.
I saw many of the top bands when they were in there prime including AC/DC, Rush, Sabbath, Lizzy, Priest, and indeed Queen.

Surely more than that ??

We paid £75 each to watch Stevie Wonder then £80 each to see Barry Manilow ... that was about 10 years ago

Queen at Manchester appollo 1975....bohemian rhapsody was at number 1 at the time, the stubs above are not mine however, just wanted to show how ticket prices have increased completely out of proportion from 80p to £80

That was very cheap even at the time, I presume they had signed up to appear months earlier.

I would guess around £11 or £12 (he says, looking on an Inflation Calculator website).

By the way, Prince Anne and Captain Mark Phillips got married the following day after that show - I wonder whether if they were on their respective Hen / Stag Nights at the very moment when that gig was on?

My first gig , 1980s was UFO £3.50 a ticket
subsequent gigs , the price slowly crept up.
Just queued up at the box office or sent a letter to the concert hall and paid what was on the ticket. No Agents Fees, no Booking fee etc.

I mean booking fee? Just a phrase to extort more money from you

Saw UFO /Thin lizzy double bill in the 70s, not sure exactly what it cost but i would guess about the same as Queen....IE 80p
