But the gag had nothing to do with autism though. It seems jimbo had taken offence because his daughter has autism rather than her taste in music, but at no point is that relevant. This is all seems very much like Ricky Gervais take on comedy.

That's good of you, but I'm sure they'll manage to endure to the end of the gig.

Our main striker is named Chris Martin. Maybe you could go and watch him instead?

He didn't mention his daughters condition until after he'd let rip with a tirade of abuse at me.

Every time I see them they’re better. A great way to spend money on your daughter Jimbo.

Give the resale market a look but be careful. Leave it until the last minute if prices are too high.

Easily the greatest British band of the last 30 years music and success wise despite it being trendy to hate them 🙄

I'm sure this has shifted a fair few albums for them under the guise of helping real fans get tickets.

What does the link take you to if not the presale?
It does take you to the pre-sale. Just you don't have to buy the album to get a link which is not what it said on their website.

Didn’t someone once describe them as music for bedwetters. Quite appropriate for the Orient forum.
