Radiohead Defend High Ticket Prices

Radiohead have defended themselves against accusations their 2008 tour ticket prices are exhorborant.

The band’s manager Bryce Edge has claimed the £42.50 per ticket for the series of dates in May simply ensures the band do not lose money for putting on the “quality shows”.

He says, “We don't want to go on tour and lose money. It is expensive to put on the quality show people expect. It is a comparable price to artists of a similar stature."

That’s alright then, Bryce.

We reported yesterday the band denying accusations from their old record company EMI that they split from the label after having their requests for a new £10 million contract turned down.

If you fancy seeing the band perform their latest album 'In Rainbows' on the cheap you can tune in to a special internet braodcast tomorrow, full details of which can be found in this perfectly formed little article here.
