The official price was £85. That’s a reasonable amount for dinner and a show, right? Wrong. The resale price is currently hovering around £400—for the worst seats behind the stage where you can only see Serj’s left ear. I’ve seen people sell their deep fryers on Facebook Marketplace to afford these.
Here’s a surprising fact: one pair of front-row tickets was listed for £2,500. For that money, you could fly to Armenia, see the band at a café, buy them a coffee, and still have change for a souvenir keychain. But no, we’re paying it because vibes.
The Physical Ordeal of Actually Getting In
Let’s say you luck out and get a ticket. Congratulations! You’ve won the concert Hunger Games. But then you have to survive the London O2 Arena queue, which is basically a human centipede of emotional instability. People will cut in line. Someone will faint from the fumes of cheap deodorant and nostalgia.
Once inside, you’ll stand for three hours with a stranger’s armpit in your face. That stranger will be screaming “BYOB” directly into your eardrum. And you will love every second of it, because System is the only band that can make you feel both politically furious and spiritually healed at the same time.
