FAO: France:
The Sun are reporting that Radiohead’s plans to save the world have been ruined by fans in France who IGNORED the band’s attempts to ‘green-up’ a show in Paris because they are too LAZY to ride bicycles.
Thom Yorke’s gaggle made 50 front row tickets available for the already sold-out concert at The Bercy with one proviso – any takers would have to cycle to the Paris HQ of XL Recordings, Radiohead’s record label in Europe.
Available on a first-come, first-served basis, 35 of the 50 tickets went unclaimed. Over to the Sun for a source:
“Unfortunately the French didn’t appear to share their noble intentions and roundly ignored the free ticket tactic.”
Those ignoble bastards. Thanks, the Sun!
