I’m a big fan of Portishead and when they announced last year that a new album was being made I was salivating. The album is now scheduled to be released in April and just found out that Portishead are touring.

I found out due to an advert on both Facebook and Google for a company called Seat Wave. And when I found out that they were performing at both the Hammersmith Apollo and the Brixton Academy I made up my mind that I wanted to sell my own mother to get a ticket.

But then I saw the prices.

Brixton Academy prices start at £60.00! And you do not even get a seat, these are standing tickets at the back of the venue!

I really want to go but I am certainly not going to pay £60.00 to stand at the back of the venue!
