Music News 24/7Over 1700 Aerosmith tickets remain unsold for London O2 Arena date

To popular acclaim, American rockers Aerosmith will be headlining the Download Festival this weekend with fans flocking to witness them along with the likes of Rage Against The Machine and AC/DC.
What seems to be less known is that Steven Tyler, Joe Perry et al will also be performing at the London O2 Arena on June 15 with a substantial amount of tickets remaining unsold. At the last count there were over 1700 Aerosmith tickets available which is a remarkable figure for a band that have stood the test of time.
It is possible that the majority of Aerosmith's hardcore UK fans will be making the journey to Castle Donington to see their heroes but you would expect a band with 40 years worth of music making behind them to sell out their show in the capital.
One drawback could be that it is right in the middle of festival season and, with money tight, many rock fans are having to pick and choose their gigs. Nevertheless, anyone with an interest in seeing a seminal rock band live could do worse than part with the £50 currently being asked by GetMeIn for a seat in the upper tier of the arena - the cheapest ticket on offer.
The cheapest general admission Aerosmith ticket can be bought through Viagogo for £55 and gives you the freedom to mosh to your heart's content. But if you want a great view as close to the stage as possible then you may have to fork out up to £680 via Ticket Network to sit in prized Block 101 with that price perhaps suggesting that Aerosmith are still very much in demand after all.
