Olivia Rodrigo

[PeteM]

That's what you get for having a general manager of a venue slagging off small venues saying that they're poorly run.

 

[PeteM]

They are fucking lucky that it didn't happen during the actual gig tonight.

I don’t see why her using the same co writers as other musicians is an issue?
It’s pretty standard in the industry.

Because some people seem to think having co-writers means you don’t actually write your own music but that’s definitely not always the case. Obviously if you have like 7 co-writers per song or something then it’s understandable that people would question how much you actually write but Olivia only has one co-writer and he’s also her producer so it’s literally just the two of them working on her songs.

Most artists write their songs with others. I’m sure it’s a more fun experience working with and exchanging ideas with other writers than it would be doing it all on your own.

 

[WaWooWeeWa]

She doesn’t though? She writes with only one other writer/producer called Dan Nigro and he’s hardly a Max Martin or Dr Luke. Olivia is the biggest artist he’s worked with.

I can look at his Wikipedia and see that he's written songs for Kimbra, Kylie Minogue, Billy Idol, Caroline Polachek, Carlie Rae Jepsen, Louis Capaldi, Sky Ferreira, and Billy Eilish's brother, among others. Olivia is not the biggest artist he's worked with by a long shot, but Driver's License is definitely the biggest song he's ever written.

I wasn’t sure about the new song at first, but after a few listens it’s really grown on me. I’m glad it wasn’t released last year, because it definitely would’ve motivated me to go and see my toxic ex

 

[StephenTJackson]

I hate her music.

Drivers Licence is one of the few songs I mute the radio for. It's pissing awful. So plinky plonky bollocks I hate.

Good For You was okay, but she doesn't enunciate very well, so it hard to know what she is singing sometimes and that annoys me.

Vampire feels like an amped up Drivers Licence and is pretty pissing irritating as well.

Also, she didn't deserve to be praised as the best on HSMTMTS. She wasn't.

I can't help but think the whole registration thing creates more hype and mania around it, and whips up people that wouldn't even necessarily want to get tickets otherwise, I might be wrong though. I wouldn't mind going, but could take or leave it, but my daughter (and friends) are dying to go. We were lucky to have presale for Taylor, so hoping we can get lucky with a code for Olivia.

And another one that would've loved a Belfast date, much prefer the Odyssey, and especially for a midweek gig. Can't remember the last gig I went there, they definitely don't get half the big names they used to, for whatever reason.

 

[AllSeeingEye123]

Tickets on sale for her O2 residency next spring. £624 for the best "premium" seats with no extras. But if you want the cheapest seats you can have one for a mere £335.

Absolute robbing git she is and sad thing is it will still sell out so next time she will feel justified to fleece people at even more inflated prices.

 

[Boredofgrey]

Got off the waitlist. Said vip tickets left. Tried to buy even though the price sickened me and still got nothing. I just want to back to the old way of trying to get a ticket. This pre sake waitlist is bullshit.

 

[Boredofgrey]

Wait list. This is bollocks now. Some people getting 4 dates - versus lots with none?

 

[PeteM]

I'd be worried about gigs in 2025 happening at that venue at this rate.

 

[Picklelily]

Nothing is ever straight forward with ticket master 🫠

 

[RoseyThorney]

Only just been told I'm off the waitlist this morning. Keep hearing horror stories about the prices. I'm not prepared to shafted for someone with only 73~ minutes worth of content from two albums...

 

[ls240898]

This was my attitude to it. 2 albums totalling about 1 hour and her first international tour. I enjoy her music but I really think it takes the piss.
The 1975 recently charged £75 (a lot more than they used to) but they have hours and hours worth of music.

I really feel like arena standing should be capped at like £60 max! The klarna payments have softened the blow

 

[Boredofgrey]

Take That have moved their shows already. What an absolute shit show.

It's really unfair. You should have to pick a specific date, not just a city.

I'd rather have an equal chance by fighting it out in the TM queue with the masses than this shit.

 

[runningbutnotinfluencing]

Shambles from Coop live.
So many would have non refundable travel & accommodation they’ve lost out on.

 

[ls240898]

They are fucking lucky that it didn't happen during the actual gig tonight.

To me it’s just shocking that objects were falling in soundcheck hours ago, but they only decided to cancel its hours later AFTER people were in

 

[velvetn0mates]

i think these registration things are pathetic like this wasnt even a thing during 1D's heydays? and i still managed to get a ticket for each tour since 2011 via Ticketmaster

I completely agree. At least you get to have a “go” in the queue when it’s just a normal Ticketmaster sale!
