Why do some fan(atics) get so obsessive. If you had a nice evening anyway why are you switching? Peter, Green is a private individual, you dont “own” him. Why do some fan(atics) get so obsessive.

I got in about 11.30 from a nice evening out with friends to see the announcement about this gig on this site, and after my initial dismay about not knowing sooner, I decided I would try to check it out since I am fortunate enough to live close by, albeit a (brisk) 20-minute walk. Needless to say by the time I got there it was over, so I find myself asking: who is actually served by such guerilla gigs at this point in Scritti Politti's career, apart from guest list whores and the usual music biz pondlife? I mean, what would be the problem with announcing this via the mailing list? Even though I truly love this band, I don't feel as a 'fan' I am owed anything in particular - that would be a pretty dangerous conceit - but the implication seems to be that I am expected to be happy to pay £18 to see the band on tour, as per the mailing list notification, but am not sufficiently deserving to know about such events as this. I assume (hope) Green has got nothing to do with such shoddiness, but right now I'm feeling pretty f*cked off about this level of disregard. I must say I am rather angry about this.

It seems to me only UK or Irish residents can buy on-line. Or am I doing something terribly wrong here? Anyone any experience with buying tickets @ticketmaster.co.uk?
