I'd really like to go to this, but tickets are between £75-£100, and go on sale on 18th Dec.
Unless Santa Clause really does exist, and gets me one, there is no way I can justify paying that at this time of year. We're not all rich rock n roll stars.
Cute idea, but I won't be there. |

'Fraid so:

My guess is that it will be a celebrity and special guest invitation show, with a small number of real punters who managed to fork out for it.
You can always justify high prices when it's for charidee, and while I acknowledge the noble cause, it's a shame that many of Traffic's real fans, who supported Capaldi through the years, will be ultimately losing out. |

Damn it, I just paid it!
After several days of tossing and turning in my sleep, with Rock n Roll Stew shrieking through my head, I picked up the phone and got myself a ticket.
It's the closest thing I'll ever get to seeing these Traffic tunes performed live.
Only got the one ticket though. And I have decided not to go out on New Years Eve. I'd have probably ended up spending this amount then anyway, without thinking twice! |

| That's one way of looking at it,Cal Jam. I've decided that I'm not going to go back to 'the smoke' to see it, but boy, have I been tempted. If I still lived within easy striking distance I reckon I would've given in too, as I've a hunch it's going to be a pretty fine night, which is why I posted about it. Have fun and tell how it went, OK? |

I'll definitely let you know how it goes. I'm actually travelling down from Newcastle, but my fiance lives in London, so I'd have been there that weekend anyway! Always handy!
And here's another killer - the £75 ticket doesn't even get you a seat. Yup, I'm standing. It must be the most expensive couple of square feet I've ever paid for. |
