Once again, fans in Japan get a rough deal
MSP plus Suede announced for Japan. Double headline shows - Suede last one night, MSP late the other.
The price for such a joy? Cheapest standing ticket 14,270 JPY (including fees). About £82 at current rates. Joint gigs in Canada and U.S. were around half that price. It happens with any act that comes to Japan - the fees get jacked up. I asked my partner about this, and she said many bands see Japan/Japanese fans as かも (duck, easy mark, easy target). Which maybe explains why Paul McCartney comes here as often as he does with his ¥17,500 ticket prices or whatever. I've seen Manics here every time they've come while I've lived here, but I just can't warrant £80+ this time.
