Incoming...

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

No one says you have to go... it's pricy but this is a fans forum no?

Paid £30 to see the Bunnymen. Late 20s, early 30s seem to be in the ballpark these days. Lets's not all get ahem contentious about this. Last time there was lots of unpleasantness and banning and all.

Price seems reasonable to me too. Biggest UK tour for nine years means more will be able to get to a gig. If there had been extra ones in N Ireland or the Republic and in the South-West/South Wales it would have been perfect, but still a pretty reasonable geographic spread.

I thought the tickets would be more expensive so I'm quite happy with the price.
I'm not one for clubbing but when I hear of what some clubs charge, gigs seem to be good value & I've had a ball at the last 3 :)

45 euro fo a Sissies concert? I was thinking "Hmmmmz maybe for 20 or 25 euro I might be tempted" but this?
No lads, you have to offer more than half-hearted stage performances and no new work for almost 22 years to rob me off 45 euro these days!

I will be spending several thousand to get there - and for me it is worth every cent. The atmos, the people, the sense of being there all pays for itself (for me anyway).

Isn't this the ridiculous sisters cycle of life / live?

Seeing live news updates, getting cynical, feeling too old for it and then - you see that railroad, smoke and mirrors, hear the machine...

AND...

We forgive as we forget - you know we want to.

Another fantastic live show and we partied as if it was the last one on earth.

40 Euros, it's not even an excerpt of the price of an all inclusive resort in fuckin' Oostende, IZ.

I haven't been to see them for a few years - the last time was so dreadful I swore never again.

But I thought why not. So I'm paying £25 for Rock City. I didnt know whether that was over the top for a Nostalgia Act so I did a bit of a comparison.

I could go and see Les McKeown's Bay City Rollers for £20.50 at Stoke

The thought of it - all the fans in those outlandish outfits, having too much to drink, reliving old memories and singing along to all those old songs with some old bloke on the stage... and it will be just the same at the Rollers gig

Brrrrr, Oostende. Helluvaplace ;)

By all means, do enjoy the gigs! I will spend my money this year on Graspop, Alcatraz, Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore and some select others...

Anyhoo.

Leeds and Manchester tickets purchased. Still considering a couple of the other dates too. I'm a sucker I know.

I'm doing Glasgow, Leeds and Manchester. I fancied the other 2 but didn't fancy consecutive nights with travel in-between. :lol:

Although having just read he does actually have a brother I can confirm I'm not. And I didn't buy all of London, just one ticket. Honest.

Anyway, as you (we) were..

Got my tickets for Leeds/Nottingham/Manchester and London. I would have liked to have done Glasgow as well but the day off before Leeds is a pain in the arse. Almost a six hour rail journey back to Nottingham VIA LEEDS to then have to get back on the train up North the very next day seems a little excessive.
