Roger Waters Wembley Stadium 2013 Wall Live

I don’t know about other people, but I simply cannot wait to get my dirty little paws on some Roger Waters Wembley Stadium tickets for the 14th September 2013 concert there.

I think the combined seated and standing capacity of Wembley Stadium is a whopping 105,000 people! Combine that with a colossal great Wall across the immense stadium and all that great musical performance, projection technology, art and pyro…. Good Lord above! Yes!

RW.com Presale – I believe the pre-sale starts on 17th November 2013 for those who have registered to get Roger Waters tickets for London via Roger’s official website. I was somewhat disappointed with my tickets for the Manchester Evening News Arena back in 2011. Although the seats were close to the stage and I could see the whites of Roger’s eyes, I did feel these were not premium tickets as I couldn’t appreciate the full enormity and brilliance of the wall across the arena floor. Sitting further back to take it all in would, I imagine, be a much better experience. Leave your comments and share your opinions on that.

O2/Live Nation Presale – As is the case thesedays, the corporate boys have deals with concert promoters to offer loyalty perks to their customers. Hence O2 and Live Nation have a slice of tickets for their customers. For O2, this takes place from  Tue 20/11/12, 09:00 to Thu 22/11/12, 08:00. With Live Nation, they are Tue 20/11/12, 14:00 to Wed 21/11/12, 08:00.

General Sale – I shall be getting my tickets on General Sale and want to get standing tickets so I can place myself in the middle of the pitch and observe the show from a far enough distance to get a nice perspective on the whole thing, that I missed at the MEN Arena in 2011! The general sale Roger Waters tickets for Wembley Stadium go on sale on Wednesday 21st November 2012 at 9am via TicketMaster. I shall be getting mine then hopefully.

Roger Waters Ticket Prices

Given the colossal size of The Wall concert, particularly the outdoors stadium configuration of the show, the tickets seem like reasonable value in relation to what other artists are getting away with charging. The TicketMaster website has standing tickets at £66 inc booking fee and £82.50 seated.

Expensive, yes. Especially if you are on a low income and money is hard to come by and frustrates you to pay this much to watch an artist you like. But consider the size and configuration and the amount of work that goes into each show and the ticket price seems more reasonable. That said, 90,000 at £82.50 and 15,000 at £66 equals £7.425m and £0.99m or £8.4m revenue in total.

Lots of people want a cut of that revenue from the venue, promoters, crew and equipment/service suppliers, security, transportation, many hotel rooms, catering, PR and all the other administrative costs. But I imagine Roger has enough left over for some consumption! And good for him. He is 69 now and needs to think about his pension pot!
