hearing the news that gene pitney had died half way into his tour, one of the guys from the office said that he nearly bought tickets for him and his wife to go and she the show.

 

i was wondering has anyone else got tickets for a performer (or a band like nirvana) and seen them on their last ever tour, or not have seen them as the performer dies before the dates? if the later what happened to the tickets/show? was their a tribute evening?

my mum and her friends went to see ibrahim ferrier (cuban bloke from buena vista social club) on his last ever tour, said it was very good. however he was such the professional thewy didnt realize how ill he was. he died the minute he got back into cuba

I had tickets to go and see Nirvana at Glasgow SECC in '94....... :cry:

in a word.................. no! lol

did you keep the tickets? suppose if you've got them now, you could sell them for loads on ebay

I did keep em, but have no idea where they are now.....

yep i would say collectable

It's never happened to me either, a bit tasteless to flog tickets to earn a fast buck from someone's death though I think............ :(

It almost makes you want to go buy a Rolling Stones ticket, doesn't it? I mean, SOMETHING monetary would have to entice me to do something as rash.... :P
