Best time to escape is during the crap video they play at the end which is designed to delay the audience while the band make their escape.

Yep - us Brits always get screwed. I've just tried to book priority presale tickets 1 minute after they go on sale and it offerd me row T for chrissakes !!! No way will I be paying 88 quid to look at the back of someone's head. All the good seats are being sold to agents who sell them at even more massively inflated prices - the band ought to step in and put a stop to this - the venues are also implicit in this money-grabbing. Sorry boys but don't you know there's a recession on? - you'll be getting no more of my hard earned cash while these sort of rip offs are prevalent !

I'll be happy as long as they don't play that totally unfunny crap video at the end which is designed purely to delay the exit of the audience from the venue while the band makes a fast getaway !

At least I would have the option of moving away from the 7 foot fathead right in front of me who couldn't keep still. Also - while I'm having a rant, I'd also have the option of leaving when the mind-numbingly boring and totally unfunny video at the end of the show is put on in a darkened arena (obviously designed to delay the crowd's getaway while the band make a run for it from the still traffic free venue !) If you were a smart cookie, you'd know that the ending video was shite and run for it anyway. I did. Fair comment - I'll know next time !

There was some Jethro Tull played at Birmingham
