I've been asking if I can have my food and drinks on the slate for years. I usually get told 'no, because we don't know you' or ' no, because we know you'.
Probably because the other venues are larger, some two or three times the capacity. Leeds is nearly 4 times the capacity.
It is steep for anywhere. I always compare these things to when I saw the Stones and Beatles in 1964. They cost 6s 6pence in old money, 32 1/2p in today's. The cost of 3 1/2pints. The thought of anyone paying the cost of 25 pints to see Boy George brings on feelings of incredulity.
****ing He'll, I didn't even know about that one Apparently some tv chef is coming and he's going to play guitar
According to a couple of inflation calculators money now is worth about 18 times what it was in 1964, so your 6s6d becomes about 6 and a half quid!
