Don't shoot the messenger......Tour has been pushed back to early next year.
They are still coming....we're just going to have to wait. It's a big Canadain tour that they will be doing.
Anyone want to make a road trip to Thunderbay?
I'd really like to know what you meant by your last comment regarding T.Bay. If you know something I don't, please tell. As you can tell by my location, this would unbelievable.

I heard rumour that the Foo Fighters CDN dates have been pushed back to early next yr. Any truth to the rumour that you are aware of?

I havent heard anything different yet (re: my tix).
I was at the EMAC studio session for Matt Good yesterday, and the FM96 people were still saying Dec 1st for foos...
I think all this talk about delay is just speculation becuase they're holding back the announcement officially.
It was in the London FreePress yesterday, though.

I think I'm just so sick of everytime the Foo Fighters go on tour it cant just be simple like here is the date, tickets go on sale at this time, see you there.....there is ALWAYS some kind of confusion...if you look at my signature you will see, I've gone through a lot of confusion LOL...just want it to be easy!
Cammy
October 17th 2007, 06:32 PM
From the info I have been given it very much looks like the tour has been pushed back. I hope to hell I'm given the wrong info. But I can say it's from a very creditable source.
I asked about the seats to the show that had been sold. They said that the seats would be honoured when the show does happen.
Like I said....don't shoot the messenger. This is what I have been told.
If I find out that I am wrong I will post here as soon as that happens.

Likely the dates are the same.
Nov 29 for ACC
Dec 1 for JLC
Both sponsor-sales AND BOX sales have already occurred (anyone who owns a box at each venue) and there have been no notifications of a delay of the shows... club seat & season ticket holders should be notified soon I'd think.
Seems like they're just taking their sweet time announcing the shows to the public.
Thats my take on it at least.

I had heard that the tour was going to be larger than it is. That was when everything was supposed to happen in Dec. So I guess there might have been a conflict or something. I don't honestly know.

I wouldn't rely on JUST the newsletter... It's notorious for being a day or two late.
I would check with your local radio station to see if they are doing a presale... both the london and toronto shows are having radio pre-sales (in addition to the iTunes presale).

I know that blagging works cause I've done it before and have friends who got into foo shows for free just because they've waited long enough...but that was in england. I do not know the laws of blagging over here in toronto and how such things would work.

The presale is from Wed @10am till Fri.
I assume "blag" is to beg, and I wouldn't bank on it. You can win tickets by listening to 102.1 The Edge. Or make a friend. I would offer to buy for you, but I don't have my own credit card.

well i got Floor2, i doubt all of Floor1 will be across the entire stage, so here's hoping Floor2 is on the right side of it or something.
I think in the past when I've gotten floor at ACC (NIN/Queens) it said something like Floor3 but it was all one big Floor. So I'm not TOO worried.
edit: yeah, just checked my ticket stub. Floor 2 for NIN in 05. So I'm not too worried.

someone was telling me that for Bruce springsteen, they had the floors divided, using barricades.
Nope Springsteen was wide open on the floor. I didn't eat for a week after I bought those tickets and it was totally worth it!! One of the best shows I've ever seen!!!

There might be floor1 and floor2. Since they sometimes have a barricade going right down the middle from the stage to the sound booth pretty much. Just so Dave can go down it during Stacked Actors haha. But they usually do that at outdoor gigs, so who knows.

i did the exact same thing. iTunes was only giving me seats in the stands... so i tried again using the edge password, and then floors came up.
That is such crap though, you'd think the presale code that you actually PAY for would yield the best seats.
Maybe you can try for floors again on saturday though.

Hopefully, Im quite conflicted to what actual city I want to see the concert in, but at this point whatever one I can get good tickets to is the one Ill be seeing.
Ottawa never really sells out seats quickly so I was quite shocked to see that there were no floors remaining. Montreal was messed up too, they don't give you where your seats are located, so I thought I may have had floors but didnt want to chance it because there are no details of what your seats are when you search for tickets.

yes...pre-sales are only a small amount of tickets. They take a section here & there. The rest are than up for sale with the general public. So if you didn't get floors in the pre-sale if you are right there when it begins you hopefully will be able to get Floors.
I'm a bit dissappointed with the Fan Club e-mail. I got it two hours after the presale started. I was lucky that I was able to use the radio presales for both London & Toronto. But really...shouldn't the FAN CLUB have first crack rather than someone that signs up for a radio station club. I don't have any problem with the radio station pre-sales. I use them all the time. But We're the die hards here. Doesn't make sense to me at all.

I couldn't get floor for Acc, and only crap seats are left - hopefully the general sale will be better. I don't know if I want to go for floors or seats, since it's going to be bloody freezing in march, and I don't know if I want to stand in the cold for 6-8 hours. When silverchair played last feb I spent like 8 hrs lining up for both shows, and I was so close to freezing. I wore so many clothes, and still had to get the people next to me to save my spot so I could go to sears and buy more clothes.

I missed the pre-sale because I was waiting to hear from my friend if he wanted me to grab tickets for him as well. Then I logged in yesterday at exactly noon, and got nothing but 300s. I tried for 1/2 an hour, and got nothing. I have never been so disappointed in my life! I can only hope that they announce a second show, or else it looks like I'm waiting another 2 years to see them.

no its not completely soldout

Need floor tickets to this show. Stupid itunes presale really screwed me over and I ended up with lower bowl seats. And I am usually better at getting tickets than that. If anyone wanna kindly help out a fan, that would be awesome. Need 4 floors tix to be exact, even if you have like 1 extra floor ticket, I'll buy it off you. Send me a P.M. Thanks.

No info yet.....will most likely be announced closer to the tour. They have a bunch of dates in the states just announced. So Hopefully it is both those bands will do the American & CDN tour.

Give the album a listen, trust me it's a great punk rock record. Many people I know are saying it's one of their Fav's of the year. I love it to say the least. Yeah Thrash Unreal has worn on me a bit...but still a soild record all & all.
I missed them in T.O but many people I know went and they thought they great. So you might just be surprised when you see them. I know I'm going to be there for them both London & T.O!!

Hey Kids,
Stupid question of the year but...
I have been to a few rock shows with GA floor arrangement in the past. Don't recall having section numbers for tickets before. I bought two floors for the ACC show at the presale. Had to do two seperate orders to get the tix. I have 1 GA Floor in section 1 and one GA Floor in Section#2. What is the deal? I thought it is either General Admission or not. Otherwise it is not really general, ya know?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Its general admission, standing room on the floor....I think they just sell the tickets in sections so they know exactly what they can sell ie. how many etc.

So with the announcement (sort of) from Nate about the two stages (Electric and Acoustic) Do you think that the Acoustic one will be in the sound booth part? I like the idea so they can be closer to more people and give them an intimate feel when they are playing these huge arena's. Just kinda wondering everyones thoughts on the whole thing.
(Edit)
Forget the whole where is it going to be.....Wow!!! go check BB's blog!!It shows how it is all set up. A additional stage lowers from the Ceiling!! It's nuts!! Okay...so I just got a big more excited!! Screw Dec 25th, March 20th & 22nd are my X-mas !!!

What's the deal with an acoustic and electric stage - i could only find a thing where Nate said they were still keeping the 8 piece band, like with the acoustic tour, but the shows would be electic. Are there going to be 2 stages?
I could only get seats for the ACC - but by a coincidence, I am in LA the beginning of March so got floors for the San Diego show. I get there that morning, will probably be so jet lagged from a 21 hour flight back from Australia- but it's going to be awsome. Had I known I would have booked my flight later so I could go to the LA show instead, but San Diego isn't that far away.

Yeah it was just mentioned in an article. But with BB showing the pics of it all it looks amazing. He writes a paragraph about the technical set up. Then there are pics from before the show and during the show when it's hanging from the Ceiling. Why can't it be March now?

Anyhow if anyone has 2 floor tickets reasonably priced please email me or send me a pm. Worse comes to worse I'll just get the tickets at the show from a scummy scalper but since we'll be coming in from Whitby we would like to have tickets in hand.

Orlando set list:
Let It Die
The Pretender
Times like These
Breakout
Long Road To Ruin
This Is A Call
Learn To Fly
Stacked Actors
@@@ACOUSTIC 2nd STAGE@@@
Skin & Bones
Marigold
My Hero
Cold Day In The Sun
But, Honestly
Everlong (Dave alone on 2nd stage, then short ending with full band on main stage)
@@@MAINSTAGE@@@
Monkey Wrench
All My Life
@@@ENCORE@@@
Big Me
Keep the Car Running
Generator
Best Of You
Taylor was right when he said they were there to please the crowd. Although I must say part of me misses Aurora or Hey! Johnny Park. But I won't complain. I am kinda surprised that Statues or Home isn't in there. I figured they would put a new ballad in there.
After looking at this...I can't wait till March....

I don't know if it's better. It's just something I have to be at. Just bad luck on scheduling really.
I could care less about an Arcade Fire cover. I think they are a pretentious band and I don't care for their music at all. There are plenty of songs I'd rather see in there as well. But maybe seeing the cover live will change my mind.

They never really change up the set list too much. It's not like Pearl Jam and a totally different set list each night. I don't see them playing too much else. I mean really what are they going to change? They promised a fan friendly hits set list and thats what they are giving looking at the set lists. But who knows what might happen. We can hope they switch it up. they still have a month a half before they are here.

I'm pretty excited about the setlists from the few 2008 shows so far. I know there going to play the "hits", and I'm OK with that, but I don't understand why they feel the need to play "The One". I think its one of there crappier songs and should be replaced with one of their other singles like DOA, No Way Back, or other older setlist regulars like Hey JP, New Way Home. But I guess complaining about 1 song that I don't like is pretty insignificant when were talking about 2 hours of live Foo!
