Well.............i was gonna say...TICKETMASTER, TICKETLINE or SEETICKETS they are the main ones and very reputable, as for cheap, they don`t exist these days , £40-45 is about average for a top artist plus booking fee and postage....

£40 £45 about average ???...
I have paid over £200 in total for 2 tickets for tina turner in march or whenever she rolls into town at the MEN..
but they are very good seats though and they are a pressie for mrs gg..

£40-45 is the average although there are always exceptions....Tina Turner being one, The Rolling Stones, Madonna , The Eagles and a handfull of others............unfortunately gig going has been a bit of a hobby of mine for 20 years and its getting bloody expensive these days how some artists/bands can charge these prices and expect sellouts baffles me, surely a capacity stadium at £30 a ticket is better to play to than than a half empty place at £100 a head.....and i`ve been to a few half empty ones(Madonna ) over the last few years...............

I use Gigs & Tours. Never had a problem with them. I'm going to Pussycat Dolls in Jan, John Barrowman in May, Take That in July and Pink in October!! Woo!! I have booked all my tickets through Gigs & Tours.

Gigs and Tours is a subsidiary of `SeeTickets`. and LiveNation is a subsidiary of Ticketmaster so both are safe.

The MEN site directed me to ticketmaster for the tickets so bought them from there

Ticket master tends to be more expensive than seetickets.

If you are ever going to a gig in one of the academies it's a cheaper to buy in person if you can do.
