Any idea how much tickets will be for London?
Saw Wu Tang do 36 Chambers at Lovebox last year and had a great time. They seemed pretty into it, with GZA popping off champagne here and there. Was quite something to that number and quality of MCâs in one place.
Can definitely see how it could be a shambles though. Ghostface Killah at the Southbank Centre a couple of years ago ran like a weird karaoke. Should have seen his show at that venue in itself as a warning sign tbf.
Iâd say if youâre going to go to this, go for De La Soul and Public Enemy, who are generally much better live. Then youâll get a bonus Wu gig which may or may not be a shambles.
If I was mainly in it for the Wu, I wouldnât pay whatever the outrageous price the tickets will inevitably be.
Theyâve been touring Aus/NZ with the full line-up, including ODBâs son in his place. Reviews were pretty enthusiastic, but I got a subtext that the shows werenât actually that good, it was more that it was great to see them all in the same room.
I can see 3 x 1.5 hour sets being a bit of a slog, but got added to a WhatsApp group today and a lot of my mates are really up for it. I think it could be a fun night of Premier spinning old classics and seeing loads of old faces but I really canât be arsed - think I just need to stop being a miserable shit and go.
Have seen individual Wu members live and it be great. Basically depends on the sound being set up properly. Iâve never seen the Wu when it doesnât sound like an absolute mess. As in, itâs not been set up properly, the vocals are muddy as fuck in like all of the mics, the beats are a mess.
Itâs a fairly recurrent problem in hip hop in general (it particularly infuriates me that so many venues find it so hard to set up two fucking turntables and a single microphone not to sound like shit) but seems particularly bad with the whole crew on stage.
That Glasto show was a lot of fun, really perked me up in that shit weather. I feel theyâd be pretty bad without Method Man though
75 quid plus fees for standing
The 02 presale tickets are an eye opener
Standing + fees is like ÂŁ85
Good seats are around ÂŁ100
Cheap seats ÂŁ65 (in the rafters) now Iâm not so sure. Might just go to Great Escape instead and enjoy 3 days of intimate music for the cost of the cheap seats
Seriously those booking fees are outrageous
Also there are cheaper seats at 52 quid but those seats at wembley arena are just awful, especially for a rap concert, so may as well ignore them outright
Decision made.
Ur going to buy me one? Thats very sweet of u
Yeah ahm oot
Yep, too pricey for me. Iâm out.
Probably a cheap ticket near the time jobbie, like Smashing Pumpkins last year.
Canât be shocked as tickets were always going to be of that order unfortunatelyâŚ
Got mine anyway
I set a limit of 65quid and i refuse to break it. Not shocked by the prices given the acts present but those booking fees are insulting. If i lived local id probably swallow it and go but with train tix and what not its too much
As mentioned ^upthread Iâd set my own âred lineâ (ooh, topical) of not going to gigs at Wembley Arena ever again Ah wellâŚ
Plus it also clashes with Great Escape which on reflection ill probably enjoy more so at least i got an excuse to bail!
