GarethRDR Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 This one's tonight and I could not be more buzzed for it, proper bucket lister for me. Hoping it's going to get suitably messy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Got through the Ticketmaster Pearl Jam ballot so could’ve bought tickets today. however, the £160 a ticket price put me right off (that and the only support slot going to Richard Ashcroft!)

I think the £160 has killed demand and they wont add the second date now PS - aren't Murder Capital also supporting them along with Ashcroft ?

Davkaus Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Just the twenty quid to see Novelists supported by The Word Alice and a couple of other bands tonight. About £25 to see Polaris in a few weeks. It pays to like bands nobody has heard of Every time I go and see some massive band charging 6, 7, 8 times as much, I leave regretting it. Can understand it for some people who have bucket list bands and so on, but not worth it for me at all. I've been gifted hospitality tickets for Tenacious D, and I'm sure it'll be a great couple of hours, but I weep thinking how much that must have cost Edited February 23 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope Murder Capital are the Manchester support its not as if they’ve grabbed a load of their old buddies from Seattle and made a day of it. for £90 more I’ve got a ticket to End of the Road festival - four days of excellent stuff!

VILLAMARV Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 So a good friend of mine who 24 years ago was part of a group of us friends that attended our first PJ gig together has got me and MrsVM a ticket. So 320 quid plus accomodation. He was really excited but didn't believe me about them being 160 quid a pop. I feel a bit dirty but how can I say no to my 50year old mate all excited about something that isn't Indoor Bowls. I had running commentary on the whole process though, and as I kept reminding him throughout, this sort of thing is not for me. Register, pre-register, pre-order the album etc. All I was after was a ticket to a gig mate. For the record he did all those things and still got told to f off. His missus came through with the tickets in the end. I wouldn't have bothered myself. Nothing screams world tour more than some insurance firm rinsing people dry On the music side of it, because they play different sets each gig and because it's my third PJ gig the list of favourite songs I've seen them play is quite long but I'm really hoping to get Blood, Leash and/or Whipping which I've not seen them do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 No idea why but just got tickets to see the libertines at Pryzm in Kingston , basically it was sold out in about 30 seconds and I happened to be browsing the site when rickets went live and knew a couple of my mates would want to go so get myself one as well £18 plus a copy of their new album it’s becoming my favourite venue at these prices and close proximity to the bands 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Rocking in the free world with Jonny Marr and John McEnroe on guitars last time I saw them loads of tickets left for spurs stadium , they definitely over priced the gig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 There's a gig on in my local on Saturday, and the support band is called The Misfits. After checking it definitely wasn't actually Glenn Danzig, I now feel I should turn up to let them know they should change their name. I get that some bands will end up using the same name, but your really shouldn't use the name of a well known band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) After @bickster comments and with low expectations ,Echo and the Bunnymen last night. well it was definitely interesting , McCulloch was clearly wasted and an attempts to interact with the audience resulted in not understanding more than about 1 word in 4 , but when he sang it was fine , no problem with the lyrics and he sounded ok , the band did everything justice music wise a 20 min interval after a 40 min set and set 2 was about 40 mins with the cutter and killing moon crowd favourites .. the encore included an epic rant mid song about Ray Winston being a clearing in the woods which lead into a further rant about paedophillia being the worse thing on the planet , all slightly bemusing on the whole it wasn’t terrible , but certainly not the best gig I’ve ever been to , but I don’t think anyone left unhappy Edited March 9 by tonyh29 Removed made up word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
