Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

[Chazz Rheinhold]

For any Culture Club fans tickets are priced at £75 (including booking fee) to see them at the new Hull Venue...£20 more than other venues on the same tour! Shameful really!

To put that into perspective I've paid £90 to see the Rolling Stones and I thought that was too much...

75 quid to see Georgie boy. Kinell. No.
I quite like himbut **** that.

is that an outcall?

Food served on random bits of **** like roof slates, builders shovels, scaffold boards,painters buckets, plasterers hawks or bog seats does my ****ing head in.

I want a plate, and for fish and chips some paper, not a box.

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.

Jeesus Chazz, the first time I read that I thought it said you'd like to butt **** him.

That's correct. It's still incredibly steep for our city.

I'd be surprised if he could fill Leeds.

 

[Kempton]

Very disappointed with the bookings for Venue so far, tbh. I take it Liam isn't going to happen?

I think you should re phrase that

 

[Barchullona]

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.

You aren't over the moon about the latest cutting-edge booking, a George Micheal tribute act then?

I am surprised he could fill the old Gondola Club.

****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!

It’ll still sell out.

Well he filled Chaz apparently

 

[look_back_in_amber]

Is it just me that's a bit tired of hearing this exact opinion? Everyone seems to be trotting it out lately. It's really not the pandemic people are making out.

Nope, can't stand when they serve chips in one of those mini deep frying baskets either, the ****s.

And don’t forget the vet who is coming to the Venue too!

Worst is getting 6 chips stacked up like a game of jenga. What use is 6 chips to anybody?

Depends whether or not they've been thrice fried or not surely?
