 M83 was opening for Interpol at Brixton Academy. With such a fantastic bill, the £17.50 tickets sold out faster than a reporter/tight-clad alien can orbit the earth. I was fortitudinous.When I got off the Tube, a gruffer-than-Rhys character immediately greeted me with a less-than-salutary, “are you looking for tickets?” The savvy negotiator that I am, I responded with a clever, “maybe.” The would-be salesman – with the propriety of a fine car dealer – lead me around a corner and the bartering began. He launched the first salvo: “£30.” Unshaken, I returned, “£15.” Noticeably dazed, he retorted, “£30.” The game was getting good. I looked slyly to either side before hitting him with a stony gaze. “£20.” He stroked his moustache pensively. “£30.” Well played. I sensed his resolve beginning to fade. “£25,” I countered. “£30.” I switched tactics, flashing big, sad, Oliver-Twist Eyes. “Won’t you come down at all?” “I’ll come down to £30.” I’ll admit that his tricky logic hobbled my typically infallible rhetoric. Confused, I counted out three £10 notes. A couple of weeks later, M83 played Scala for £10. They were fantastic. -S.T. Tickets are $20.00 @ Ticketweb Richard's on Richards, 1036 Richards Street, Vancouver, B.C.
