Pull the other one.
I know you are right and it probably was good value for money and I'm not disputing that.
I'm just saying that many people cannot afford to spend £200 out of their budget when they have other expenses taking priority. It's hard enough keeping a head above water just paying out for living costs these days and I'm afraid the cost of going to see shows these days is exorbitant.
You really have to think twice about splashing out on ticket prices - there are loads of things people have to miss simply because they cannot afford it.
(tongue in cheek) - - Anfield residents should have been offered cut price tickets for the McCartney concert - after all we had to put up with all road blocks and crowds
But got to hear it for free
A tower block would have come in handy, you could have charged an admittance fee if you lived in one, not forgetting the £3 for a can of amber nectar
I would love to have been there, either listening from outside or else actually in the stadium!
What did you think of this part of the concert write-up, mateys?
One person said: “They only had one entry point to the ground and the queue to get in went on for ages.
“It took everyone around the back streets of Anfield which does not give a great impression to people from outside the city.”

I heard this complaint on Radio Merseyside too whilst others shrugged it off and said it was worth the wait. The biggest complaint was about umbrellas but i wouldn't want a great big umbrella blocking my view if paying that sort of money. Apparently it was a big problem at the grounds of Knowsley Hall too. As for not opening enough turnstiles etc - typical organisational skills of some on show again. As for the view whilst queuing - you can't argue with that, back ginnels are hardly inspiring are they.

He was born at Walton Hospital and lived in Anfield for a while but during most of his life while living in the city, the family mostly lived in the south end, in Speke and on Forthlin Road in Allerton up the road from Garston, which explains why he called out to the crowd, “Ok, let’s hear it for Speke. . . . Let’s hear it for Garston.”

The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

He wouldn'tremember any of his 'north end' homes though. 10 Sunbury Road and Sir Thomas White Gardens tenements were when he was a toddler, the family also lived on the far side of Wirral during the war too to escape the blitz. He later bought his dad a house out there called Rembrant.
Sunbury rd is off Priory rd - Arkles lane end. I'm glad he mentioned it - it's a little known fact that he was born this end of L'pool
They did move around a lot didn't they !
