1. Although I now see Mark Knopfler's guitar shaped USB sticks with dedicated cases went for £26, which is $40 as well.

    It's nicer looking than a wristband of course, but still effin' expensive!


  2. Well it doesn't worry me, I'll still be buying four of them in Feb!
  3. If you have the funds it's more than fine and you'll have the best memory of your show, but if you're already suffering for ticket prices I guess that spending another 40 bucks isn't your cup of tea completely
  4. It's not that I want to spend the $40 on a shitty mp3 and wristband, it's that I want a soundboard more.
  5. Yeah, I totally get your point. Go ahead if you wish - as long as make sure to share the sbd with us later
  6. I'll buy the Adelaide show im attending in Feb, wish every band did this kind of thing
  7. for everyone's info, this is not the only option. Further methods are in the pipeline
  8. sure there will be cds at 80€ hehehe

    getting serious again, hope for further prices too

    bad start of the thing though
  9. CDs can't be pressed quick enough to be ready at show end. When artists sell CDs of their shows, they include the full concert up to 20 mins or so prior to the end, and they later provide a download link for that final songs. I would prefer to get the whole thing directly, although CDs probably do have a better sound quality than the MP3s contained on the USB stick.
  10. A T-shirt from an official merchandise stand can easily cause $40. I'd rather have the audio of the show so I'd happily pay that amount for it.

  11. They better be

  12. and another thought, away from prying eyes, it is a major, major blow to the inner circle and what they have been trading for years - they are very pissed off.
