The Maximos are playing The Astoria on 21 February. Tickets went on sale on Thursday and, needless to say, sold out instantly. But look on eBay and there are currently 30 sets of tickets for sale. The face value of the tickets is £17.50 and the highest price on eBay is £40 plus £5 postage (a pair is on offer for £80 plus £4.50 postage). The lowest is £30 plus £4.99 postage.
That is plainly just a rip off by greedy people out to make a fast buck on the basis that people want to see Maximo Park. I'd pay that amount if that was the ticket price but I'm not prepared to simply line someone's pocket. I'll keep an eye on eBay over the next month or so and see what happens to asking prices.
The new album is out in the New Year so they'll be playing new songs live for the first time. Viva Le Park!
