I´m absolutely happy and full of anger.
Depeche Mode is playing in Buenos Aires next month, this was announced a couple of months ago.
That is why I´m so happy! I´ve never seen them, I´ve been waiting like all my life to see them.
Then they announced they are playing in a festival. Personal Fest. Crap. Thing about festivals here is that they don´t care which bands they put together, they might put a reggae and a doom metal band with Depeche. Then you have to cope with a lot of people that can ruin your show. Like last Kraftwerk show with people booing, or New Order´s show, that people couldn´t understand the guys are old, and not they cute guys from the video "crystal"... Not mentioning only a few of us could sing "love will tear us apart"...
But ok, They are comming, so I´ll still see them!
Then I go to the website and I see the field is divided. If you want to be in the front, you have to buy insanely expensive VIP tickets. OH! Sold out. That sucks, every time they divide the field, you can´t see shit. And it´s going to be damn crowded, the place is too small for depeche.
But ok, I can still hear them, right?
So the only choice is to buy a regular field ticket which is also damn expensive, but it´s Depeche Mode, so I will make a huge effort because I have to see them, after all the waiting!
But I have money only for basic survival until I get paid, so I will have to wait a week. That is was I said to myself last week of august.
I checked the site today to see where can I buy the tickets, and I see tickets are even MORE expensive!
350 Argentinean pesos + service charge!!!
WTF people????
Now I´m mad.
And YES, I will buy a ticket, but this is fucking insane, average salary is 1500 pesos, this is too much.
You don´t mess with a Depeche Mode show. You don´t. Die Ticketmaster, Die.
Sorry, I had to let it out.
Oh, BTW, pet shop boys is playing the day before. 150 pesos.
