Live gigs at Milton Keynes Bowl, no alcohol or food allowed in

Milton Keynes Bowl, what a rip off

Rip Off Milton Keynes Bowl

Ever been to see a live band at a large venue such as the Milton Keynes bowl or Wembley and felt that you have been ripped off with the extortionate prices for refreshments?



I recently went to see ACDC and some other bands at the bowl in Milton Keynes and although I had a great day out there with my friends, the experience was somewhat tainted because I felt that we were being seriously ripped off.

27-6-2006Obviously did nt do business studies then ! You are prepared to pay £20 for a T-shirt probably made in Asia, but not a fair price for some locally produced freshly made food !
