Radiohead hit back at claims UK tour is too expensive

Nearly £50 a ticket will ensure 'quality' say band's management

The price might also explain why the gigs haven't sold out yet. I remember when the Radiohead Oxford South Park tickets went on sale, queueing up outside the Zodiac in Oxford to get the tickets, they were sold out in no time.

Muse put on two "quality shows" at Wembley Stadium last year. £37.50 a ticket got you the first proper rock shows at the new stadium, three support bands each day, Zane Lowe DJing, pyrotechnics, giant special effect satellite dishes around and on the stage, trapeze artists over the crowd, their trademark giant balloons, and a kick-arse set each night. I reckon a fiver is probably the standard inflationary increase from a gig of that price last year to this coming summer. So, Radiohead had better _really_ lay it on for the money.
