Radio 1 Annoucement?

[Suzanne2228]

God i hope that guy's wrong about Oasis.
Me too. They were crap the last time I saw them.

[Studmore]

Dave said yesterday that they've only just began to think about support acts.

Any band people post are just ideas, nobody knows at this stage, not even the band.

[FooManiac4ever]

Let's start a poll. :D

[Pauk!]

I'd like NIN, Arcade Fire and a Foo acoustic set.

Because:
A) NIN are ace
B) It'd be awesome to see AF play a stadium
C) Foos REALLY should listen to their own advice and not playing acoustic and electric in the same set.

[Suzanne2228]

I'd like NIN, Arcade Fire and a Foo acoustic set.
It's been done. ;)

[Pauk!]

It's been done. ;)
EXACTLY!
And that's why it'll happen again :p


I'd NEVER pair NIN and Foo together if it hadn't happen before. I mean... why would NIN do that?!

[Studmore]

Jeepers this forum is bloody heaving tonight, can't keep up with it all.

[Suzanne2228]

EXACTLY!
And that's why it'll happen again :p


I'd NEVER pair NIN and Foo together if it hadn't happen before. I mean... why would NIN do that?!
$$$

[Zippy Ate My Drumkit]

Letters to the band is pointless. They still haven't answered my question about the bumble bee.

[Pauk!]

$$$
There's gotta be more $$$ in a stadium show!

[FooManiac4ever]

Tour talk has about 70 million people in it tonight.
Pure madnesss ahah.

[Studmore]

Tour talk has about 70 million people in it tonight.
Pure madnesss ahah.

I know theres too many threads all discussing the same thing between a few regulars and a gazillion noobs who want shitty bands to support.

[FooManiac4ever]

I know theres too many threads all discussing the same thing between a few regulars and a gazillion noobs who want shitty bands to support.

hahah innit.
There's about 15 threads about Wembley... we clearly only need one.. maybe two tops.

[Niff]

hahah innit.
There's about 15 threads about Wembley... we clearly only need one.. maybe two tops.

Surely we need nothing more than this very thread? :cool:

[Pauk!]

As if anyone reads anyone elses posts?!

I thought everyone posts their own selfabsorbed crap without the blind bit of notice of everyone else.
Heck, isn't that the entire ethos behind the Radio 1 Announcement thread? :p

[Commodore Dan]

i've only just noticed that 'Announcement' is spelt incorrectly in the thread title.

[Studmore]

hahah innit.
There's about 15 threads about Wembley... we clearly only need one.. maybe two tops.

Well i think one and this thread would do nicely. I think most of the newbs are scared to come into this thread, looks too daunting for them. :p

[Suzanne2228]

i've only just noticed that 'Announcement' is spelt incorrectly in the thread title.
Somebody is a bit slow on the uptake. :p

[Studmore]

i've only just noticed that 'Announcement' is spelt incorrectly in the thread title.

Well done sir, now if you'd just like to hop out of 3 months ago we can continue....:D

[Niff]

It's getting too confusing in here now, I'm off to bed. Night :)

[arseface]

I'm sure I had something interesting to say...

[Two-Bob Peeters]

probably not :)

[Studmore]

I just came here for a shameless bump and to say that i'm going to eat a chicken curry and go watch Only Fools And Horses DVD's.

Nighty night.

[Captain Stu]

No fucking way am I reading through all this shite. Fuck off. :(

[Studmore]

No fucking way am I reading through all this shite. Fuck off. :(

Don't bother, they'res fuck all of interest. :)

[Captain Stu]

Don't bother, they'res fuck all of interest. :)

I thought as much, danke.

[Epic Failure]

I've said it elsewhere, but i will actually cream myself if Arcade Fire did end up supporting them. :)

And Stu, you don't read through it, you just post what you want regardless. :rolleyes: :D

[arseface]

I'm just going to assume that's true. :)

[Captain Stu]

Fuck you, I just post what I want regardless. :D

[Two-Bob Peeters]

i love those new walkers cheddar cheese crisps, but they really shouldn't have made the colour of the packet so close to roast chicken flavour, my tounge got really confused

[Suzanne2228]

:)

[Epic Failure]

I can't decide which version of Hallelujah i prefer. I've just listened to Cohen's again and it is surprisingly awesome.

[Captain Stu]

If Arcade Fire support, I'm flinging my shitty underpants at them.

[arseface]

If Arcade Fire support, I'm flinging my shitty underpants at them.

But we all know the shit would be due to the excitement!!! :D

[Captain Stu]

But we all know the shit would be due to the excitement!!! :D

NO, because they're fucking talentless try-hards who I HATE.

[Two-Bob Peeters]

i hate arcade fire

[Captain Stu]

i hate arcade fire

Join in my shitty rebellion!

[Suzanne2228]

Whatever! I do what I want!

[Hoopy]

Shirley that's out of excrement?

[Hoopy]

i hate arcade fire
^^^^^
Correct.

[Captain Stu]

Whatever! I do what I want!

I don't go to school and I kill people!

[Two-Bob Peeters]

Join in my shitty rebellion!

all they do is bang sticks and pots and pans together, my knickers shall be shitty

[Captain Stu]

And there's 19 of them, don't forget that! Apparently it makes them cool.

[Epic Failure]

If Arcade Fire support, I'm flinging my shitty underpants at them.

typical scouser.

NO, because they're fucking talentless try-hards who I HATE.

booo to stu.

i hate arcade fire

they hate you too. :(

[Two-Bob Peeters]

who wants the other half of my pizza

[Captain Stu]

What's on it? I'm hungry.

[Suzanne2228]

who wants the other half of my pizza
*raises hand*

[Two-Bob Peeters]

Asda take away Meat feast thing

it's huge, much bigger than i thought it was, i swear it doubled in size in the oven.

i've eaten half and i might just explode

[Captain Stu]

Sling that badboy over, I'm famished holmes. :(

[Two-Bob Peeters]

i'll send it using SMS!

that's £45634634, expect it in 48 weeks

[Captain Stu]

It might take two messages I think...

[Two-Bob Peeters]

secure mail services... ;)

although you'd have better luck if i sent it by text...

[Suzanne2228]

Hey! I said I wanted it first! :mad:

[Two-Bob Peeters]

i could send you a picture message of it if you'd like!

[Suzanne2228]

Go for it.

[Two-Bob Peeters]

it's in the bin now :(

[Suzanne2228]

I don't want a photo of a pizza in the bin. You've let me down Michael.

[Two-Bob Peeters]

i'm dancing with myself, whoa oh oh

[Erase/Replace]

I've said it elsewhere, but i will actually cream myself if Arcade Fire did end up supporting them. :)

Yeah, me too.

They were fucking awesome at Leeds Fest.

[Captain Stu]

Hey! I said I wanted it first! :mad:

Whatevah, ah do what ah want! :mad:

[Bexster]

Morning.

I've just ignored the last 20 pages - mostly because I can't be doing with wading through it, sorry.

How is everyone. Happy? No?

[Captain Fox]

Somebody is a bit slow on the uptake. :p

if i had not read that i would still ot have known :o

[stu250]

morning pimps and ho's

hows it hangin'.
if someone can sum up what i have missed since late yesterday evening then go for it - i'm all ears - if not, fuck it - i aint too arsed anyway.:D

stu.

[Niff]

Not a lot!

I got tickets at about 10pm :) And we moaned a bit more about the centre stage.

[Lara]

What Niff said.

And Daniel only just realised it says "Annoucement" in the thread title.:rolleyes: :D

[stu250]

Not a lot!

I got tickets at about 10pm :) And we moaned a bit more about the centre stage.

tres bon - hope you got what you wanted...?

Also, hope you spare a thought for the poor soul trapped on the tube on his/her way home after a day in the shitty little office being bullied by a boss with bad breath and poor fashion sense and all that they had to look forward to was the small crumb of joy that they had secured tickets to see their favourite band, the foo fighters, earlier that morning - and they were taking their 1 legged blind child who has yearned to be a rockstar since he was born and then abandoned and eventually picked up by a group of pikeys and used in a travelling circus till the age of 12. So the journey ends at the 'victims' squalid flat and when he finally gets to log onto his 256 dial up service he finds that his tickets have been sent back and sold to someone else. he spares a glance into the smelly rat infested kitchen at the bottle of asda domestos and the 50 paracetamol on the worktop and thinks............

"hope jen has a great time at my gig".:D

Definitely worth moaning about.

[Lara]

I know. He's a bit slow.:p

[Captain Stu]

*yawn*

So very tired.

Just to reiterate:

1. The circle stage is a fucking terrible idea with no purpose.
2. People actually thinking Shit Zep will support is a joke.
3. The gig will fucking suck (set-wise) but we can have a good laugh, gang.

Cool thanks Stu. I got home last night to find my internet is fucked so can't get online until VirginMedia come and hook me up. What with the n00bs crashing it yesterday I'm totally lost... Anyone got any recommendations if I were thinking of ditching VM? I'm lost without the tinterweb!

[Captain Stu]

I'm with www.bethere.co.uk (http://www.bethere.co.uk) and they're brilliant!! I was all sorted, start to finish, in a week, the service is incredibly fast, very reliable so far (4 months in and no problems that related to them), the router they send you for free is actually very good despite looking like a Tonka toy.

My only gripe would be that their call centres are not UK-based or not populated by UK people but that's the case for most places now innit. Thankfully, I've only had one problem and that was because the telephone was causing interference on the phoneline and needed an extra microfilter.

:)

[Bexster]

Stop making me feel bad for not going to Wembley :mad: I was beginning to feel quite zen about it.

Cool thanks! That looks like a great deal... except we don't have a BT landline so don't think we can get it :(

Don't go with Sky broadband. Horseshit doesn't describe them enough.

[Niff]

Don't go with Sky broadband. Horseshit doesn't describe them enough.

We were thinking of perhaps doing this recently, should I assume that I shouldn't?

[Jamie]

2nd Wembley date

[Commodore Dan]

We were thinking of perhaps doing this recently, should I assume that I shouldn't?

Don't be tempted by the low price. I'm not exaggerating when i say that i've never once known of someone who has had a smooth ride with them.

[Niff]

Don't be tempted by the low price. I'm not exaggerating when i say that i've never once known of someone who has had a smooth ride with them.

It wasn't the price as such, we just wanted sky tv and it seemed to make sense to get the package.

Ah well.. thanks for the advice, I guess I'll just settle for a digibox or some similar fandangled appliance.

[Bexster]

Don't go with Sky broadband. Horseshit doesn't describe them enough.
It's not good. It keeps kicking me off a lot. When it works, I can get good speeds with it - downloading torrents is pretty easy and all that. But it's generally not good. As soon as my contract's up, I'm changing.

2nd Wembley date
Really? When?

[Commodore Dan]

WEMBLEY, 6th JUNE???

[Niff]

Bang goes the secret gig hopes for the Friday then :(

[Bexster]

WEMBLEY, 6th JUNE???
That's pants for 2 reasons.

A) I still can't go on the Friday
B) There'll be no mini-golf on Friday.

[Commodore Dan]

Sky TV is unbeatable and i'd fully recommend it (unless you also happen think that Rupert Murdoch is an evil Nazi c**t who doesn't deserve a penny of my wage) but the broadband package...poooooo.

That's pants for 2 reasons.

A) I still can't go on the Friday

This double hotel expenses :(

[Jamie]

Am I such a mug that I just bought tickets for that one too?

Yes.

[Commodore Dan]

Am I such a mug that I just bought tickets for that one too?

Yes.

Me too.

[Lara]

WEMBLEY, 6th JUNE???

Am I such a mug that I just bought tickets for that one too?

Yes.

Join the club son.:rolleyes:

[Commodore Dan]

Nice one, Larissa. :)

[Jamie]

Why do they think it's a good idea to do it right before the end of the month? I don't have this sort of money to just throw about, especially after I've just spent a ton on the tour.

[Commodore Dan]

5 for the first date and 5 for the second. People better get paying me back like NOW of im going to be living off frying my own shit and saving on the water bill by drinking my own semen. Ahhh Fridays.

[Jane]

Am I such a mug that I just bought tickets for that one too?

Yes. So am I if it makes you feel any better!

...ew...:(

[Jane]

Oh and thanks for the internet advice too everyone!

[Jane]

I think I might go and get myself some Dolly Parton and John Barrowman tickets now...

[arseface]

WHAT?! HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FIRST ONE?! HAVE I MISSED OUT ON GETTING TICKETS?! :confused:

[Jamie]

Be quick, they've only just gone on sale.

Also, this leaves the Sunday for a Northern show. Dave can shove that one up his arse.

[Lara]

WHAT?! HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FIRST ONE?! HAVE I MISSED OUT ON GETTING TICKETS?! :confused:

They're still there Jadle, I just bought one. Seetickets and ticketmaster both have them, off you go.

[arseface]

Gah! What About Katie And Becky And T'others!? Should I Get Two Or Has Anyone Else Got Two?!

[Lara]

Does anyone have their numbers to text them? I'd buy more but I'm poor.:(

[arseface]

Okay. I got two. My dad might take it if no one here wants it.

[arseface]

I just called katie but her phone was off. I'm guessing she was in a lecture.

[PFC Hudson]

I've just bought two tickets for standing on Friday too. Fuck knows how I'm going to sort out childcare now for both days.

[Jamie]

I can't afford any more than I've bought, otherwise I would. I have about £50 to get me to London and back twice this weekend.

[Lara]

Okay. I got two. My dad might take it if no one here wants it.

Considering how quickly Wembley mark I sold, you'll be able to get rid of it anyway I would think.

Jesus, we'll be able to see Dave's ego from the fuckin' moon soon.:rolleyes:

[arseface]

Does anyone have their numbers to text them? I'd buy more but I'm poor.:(

I am poor but if people can pay me back before i have to pay my credit card bill then it's all good. I'm sure my dad could help me out if they can't. *crosses fingers*

[Niff]

Meh, I can't afford a Friday one. May see nearer the time if there's any flying about.

[Hell O' Kitty]

Hello my dears.

I was going to ask if anything exciting has happened but I see it has.

Mel never managed to get our tickets but I'm not arsed. I'm really thinking of giving both dates a big miss.

[Commodore Dan]

I've already sorted Katie out a ticket.

[arseface]

Oh feck. :(

[Lara]

I've already sorted Katie out a ticket.

Yay Dan!:)

Kerry, I seem to have an affliction that, if there's the potential for me to be at a FF show, then I'll buy a ticket. Even if I know it's just going to be Hyde Park V 2.0 and 2.1. I can't help myself.:( :o

[Captain Stu]

I can recommend you don't go with Plusnet, if that's any help :)

Don't go with Sky broadband. Horseshit doesn't describe them enough.

Amen to both.

HANG THE FUCK ON?!

Another Wombley date? Everyone's going? WHY?! You fucking quim dodging poofters. And no secret gig makes me a saaaaaad panda. :(

[Commodore Dan]

Amen to both.

HANG THE FUCK ON?!

Another Wombley date? Everyone's going? WHY?! You fucking quim dodging poofters.

Letters to the Band. ;)

[Lara]

Amen to both.

HANG THE FUCK ON?!

I told you. I can't help myself.:(

Letters to the Band. ;)

You're a letter to the band... the letter is F... for fucking fag!! :mad:

[Jane]

Amen to both.

HANG THE FUCK ON?!

Another Wombley date? Everyone's going? WHY?! You fucking quim dodging poofters. And no secret gig makes me a saaaaaad panda. :(

Yeah go buy a ticket Stu, you know you want to!

[Jamie]

It just means minigolfing will be earlier in the week, and they'll be oop north on the Sunday.

[Commodore Dan]

You're a letter to the band... the letter is F... for fucking fag!! :mad:

Just get a fucking ticket. Accommodation will cost you a fiver a night or a pizza, depending on how im feeling.

And your letter is S. Take your pick on what it means ;)

[Captain Stu]

It just means minigolfing will be earlier in the week, and they'll be oop north on the Sunday.

Do I bollocks, I can do the saturday because it's not a work day - no way am I wasting a days holiday to be bored off my arse by Breakout Lol and Lolz To Fly TWICE in the space of two days.

I can't even afford the saturday ticket... I'm actually disappointed in all of you.

This better not cunting well mean that the fucking shitty bollocks secret gig... if it happens... will be the thursday! :mad:

Fangirl status... fading again... being blinded with rage at what a fucking scandalous money-grabbing scheme this is.

180,000 people... over two days... at £50 per ticket... someone please work that out and make sure that the figure I just came out with is wrong. It has to be wrong or I'm going to be sick.

[Lara]

It just means minigolfing will be earlier in the week, and they'll be oop north on the Sunday.
Exactly.
Yeah go buy a ticket Stu, you know you want to!
Yeah!

...one of us, one of us, one of us...



:D

[Captain Stu]

Suck it, bitches.

[Captain Fox]

Ohh no more money!

Me and Becky need another ticket


Becky will come first though but i call dibs on the second spare!

[Commodore Dan]

180,000 people... over two days... at £50 per ticket... someone please work that out and make sure that the figure I just came out with is wrong. It has to be wrong or I'm going to be sick.

It might even top RHCP's official world record gig revenue (Hyde Park).

One of the reasons the tickets will be as much as they are (and contemplate this for a second...) is that booking an event at Wembley will probably cost double in fees for the band/label upfront, purely because of how much the owners of the stadium will charge, given how much it cost to build. Obviously, some of it is added on by the band/label, but i honestly do believe that the bulk of it is Owner related.

[Captain Stu]

It might even top RHCP's official world record gig revenue (Hyde Park).

Please tell me I'm wrong when I worked it out as £9M... please let my maths be that shit.

(The Chili's grossed around £9M for their Hyde Park stint... but that was over 3 shows.)

[Niff]

Please tell me I'm wrong when I worked it out as £9M... please let my maths be that shit.

(The Chili's grossed around £9M for their Hyde Park stint... but that was over 3 shows.)

Nope you're right.

[Captain Stu]

That is absolutely disgraceful... truly this is a move for the fans.

[Jane]

A cool £9,000,000

[Jamie]

+ food and merch :)

[Niff]

:(

[Captain Stu]

They're each gonna pocket about £2M+ from that. Way to ruin the amazing atmosphere from that tour, dickheads.

And you cunts stop making me want another one. I'M TOO FUCKING SUGGESTIBLE!! :mad:

[Commodore Dan]

Please tell me I'm wrong when I worked it out as £9M... please let my maths be that shit.

(The Chili's grossed around £9M for their Hyde Park stint... but that was over 3 shows.)

Chili's are in the Guinness (yummmm) Book of Records at £14.1m for those shows.

I work the Foo shows out at £7.92m (i did it based upon an avg ticket price of £44 - majority at £42.50 and a few at £49.50).

Of course, there's a shitload of deductables. I'm not arsed about how much they take home to be honest and i'd be a hypocrite if i was - increased gas and electric prices have boosted my wage at the customers cost.

[Jane]

+ food and merch :)

Yeah you know every douche in that arena is going to buy a FF t-shirt!! I'm taking a picnic with me!

[Captain Fox]

Bloody hell like 17 million $


Well i love the foo's and they deserve every penny butt it was most likely radio 1's idea and they are a bunch of cunts that are going to take all they can get!

:mad: :mad:

[Lara]

They're each gonna pocket about £2M+ from that. Way to ruin the amazing atmosphere from that tour, dickheads.

And you cunts stop making me want another one. I'M TOO FUCKING SUGGESTIBLE!! :mad:

[Captain Stu]

Chili's wasn't £14M! It was $17M which at the time worked out to a shade over £9M. :mad:

Bloody hell like 17 million $

Well i love the foo's and they deserve every penny butt it was most likely radio 1's idea and they are a bunch of cunts that are going to take all they can get!

:mad: :mad:

Nobody "deserves" that much money for playing music.

[sh3zzz]

£8 for a hot dog at Wembley, woooo

[Captain Fox]

They're each gonna pocket about £2M+ from that. Way to ruin the amazing atmosphere from that tour, dickheads.

And you cunts stop making me want another one. I'M TOO FUCKING SUGGESTIBLE!! :mad:

nah they won't there's a whole load of costs to think about, accomodation, cost of the venue, radio cunts share, all the crew and support acts, probably more like £1m each!

[Jamie]

Plus, how much money are Radio 1 throwing at them for the rights to broadcast it and slap their name on it?

[Captain Stu]

Standing have all gone for friday, thank fuck... I was debating buying one. :mad:

Christ, I need some fucking willpower.

[Commodore Dan]

nPower do Wembley's gas and electric. BOOOOOOOOO. :mad:

[Jamie]

£8 for a hot dog at Wembley, woooo

To be fair, I remember it being £5.90.

And it wasn't even a real sausage.

[Commodore Dan]

Standing have all gone for friday, thank fuck... I was debating buying one. :mad:

Christ, I need some fucking willpower.

For every purchase you make beyond your limits, i'll touch your bum once.

[Captain Fox]

Plus, how much money are Radio 1 throwing at them for the rights to broadcast it and slap their name on it?

ahh i thought it would go the other way

[Captain Stu]

nah they won't there's a whole load of costs to think about, accomodation, cost of the venue, radio cunts share, all the crew and support acts, probably more like £1m each!

Plus, how much money are Radio 1 throwing at them for the rights to broadcast it and slap their name on it?

And the sponsorship for an event will be massive, how many companies are gonna want their brand associated with a record-breaking event like that?

All the beer companies are gonna be after it.

I'm telling, two mil each.

For every purchase you make beyond your limits, i'll touch your bum once.

Bitch please, I can get that at home for free by making a delicious meal! :D The sad thing is that I'm not even joking, I get borderline raped for making good scran.

[sh3zzz]

To be fair, I remember it being £5.90.

And it wasn't even a real sausage.


Oh wait, £8 for the meal deal (including coke). Totally reasonable.

ah yea your right!

That is a bit of a disgrace! they had better put on a few realy good secret shows between now and then for us!

[Commodore Dan]

The only band you can accurately say 'they'll make £xxxx' from this gig was Led Zeppelin, because they publically admitted that they took 90% of all revenues for the shows.

[Captain Stu]

I cannot believe anyone would defend a blatant cash-grabbing scheme like this. It's appalling.

No sympathy from me... I can't afford it yet (nor do I have the time, busy busy this weekend) and so am waiting until monday.

Cash grabbing, i dunno..they know there would have been millions of fans pissed off, is how i see it, so they added another

[Captain Stu]

So? :confused: There are always going to be people who miss out, it doesn't change the facts.

Yeh, well its a one off gig, normally there is a whole tour for people to attempt to get at.

And so what, foo's are a band, in it for the music and obviously the money, have to live somehow.

This is knowhere NEAR as appaling as what football players get paid!

[Jamie]

They could have also announced both at the same time, rather than making people panic buy for one show, then quickly again for the second when it just appears on the website.

[Commodore Dan]

This is knowhere NEAR as appaling as what football players get paid!

Oh i don't know about that. £40k a week = £2m a year before 40% tax.

180000 tickets at £45 average = £8m, £2m per member before all the deductables. For 3 hours work.

Either way, i don't care and i would do it if i could.

That doesn't even begin to make it right to rape people of that much money for what will definately be a bland 2 hours.

And I'm sure after such a prolonged career, they're all just about managing to survive. :rolleyes:

Exactly, if any of us were in daves shoes, and you could sell out wembley stadium in 10 mins, and the second one soon after, i'd do it.

[i like orange juice]

I really want to buy tickets for the second show but I don't really have a spare hundred quid lying around for more at the moment.

:mad:

[87Foo]

Bland? I hope your talking about the football there..

If you got offered with your band to sell out wembley stadium, twice..or more..im pretty damn sure you wouldnt turn down the money from it.

[Niff]

No, I'm talking about playing the same fucking set that they always play. If you went to Hyde Park, you'd know how utterly gash it was.

You know what... the only time I have ever wanted to play at Wembley was when I dreamt of being Liverpool Captain out and winning the FA Cup. I can't see my band ever reaching anywhere near those heights but I would be very, very disappointed if I ever shat on fans in such a way. Probably sounds like guff but that's my honest opinion, I would one day love to be in a successful touring band but you don't have to financially bitch-slap your fans to be successful.

I think you're missing a number of points.

Very much so.

[MattJP]

I need the Friday show to sell out quickly. Otherwise I'll only go and buy tickets for that as well :eek:

[Niff]

I need the Friday show to sell out quickly. Otherwise I'll only go and buy tickets for that as well :eek:

There will be plenty of tickets flying about between now and then.

I'm leaving it for now. If I feel the need to go twice nearer the time I have no doubts I'll be able to get my hands on a ticket.

TRAITOR TO THE sOUTH (doesn't deserve a capital 's') :mad:

You should have wanted to lift the FA Cup at Anfield as Wembley was shut down in a health scare and it was rescheduled for a new venue :D

[Captain Stu]

I'm leaving it for now. If I feel the need to go twice nearer the time I have no doubts I'll be able to get my hands on a ticket.

Same.

If I'm more in the money nearer the time... and the support line-up makes me drool... then maybe.

It's a good job I don't know yet if I got my promotion in work yet or I'd be banking on an extra few hundred quid each month and probably would've fucking bought one already.

Yeah, to be honest "stadium rock" is hardly my idea of a dream come true.

[Captain Stu]

Yeah, to be honest "stadium rock" is hardly my idea of a dream come true.

Word. :)

If you do it ONCE in your entire career - it's special, it'd be amazing and it'd be something you'd always remember.

Twice in two days? Having already done Hyde Park which was only 5,000 less people? Nah, that's just plain old fashioned greed.

[MattJP]

There will be plenty of tickets flying about between now and then.

I'm leaving it for now. If I feel the need to go twice nearer the time I have no doubts I'll be able to get my hands on a ticket.

Yeah I think you're right. Makes you wonder what percentage of people bought tickets to actually go to the gig, and what percentage bought them to flog on at a later date.

Hahah, whatever, your opinion is yours. Im happy to be involved in a great gig, i love the band and its going to be there biggest gig to date, couldnt care less how much they are making from it, i just wanted to be there, as did 100,000's of others obviously.

Yes hyde park, people at the back were pissed off, this is different. Circular stage, walks coming off, thats the idea behind it. There will be no bad seats in the house.

Same set list? What else do you want them to play? Nirvana songs? Spice Girls songs?

[Bexster]

Yeh, well its a one off gig, normally there is a whole tour for people to attempt to get at.
You'll probably find, that all the people who went to the arena gigs would fit into Wembley stadium over the bothe days with room to spare. The arena's weren't that big on comparison.

[Captain Stu]

Yeah I think you're right. Makes you wonder what percentage of people bought tickets to actually go to the gig, and what percentage bought them to flog on at a later date.

I'd say well more than half the tickets sold have gone to touts or people buying spares with the intention of selling that off to cover the cost of the other ticket.

Two tickets totalling £110 (including fees and postage, roughly)... you can easily sell one of these tickets off for £100 and bam, you've pretty much got a "free" ticket. Everyone does it.

[Bexster]

Same set list? What else do you want them to play? Nirvana songs? Spice Girls songs?
Yes. Spice Girls please :D

Why will it be great? OMGZ BECOZ DA FOO FIGHTERS!!!

Yes hyde park, people at the back were pissed off, this is different. Circular stage, walks coming off, thats the idea behind it. There will be no bad seats in the house.

Because Dave said so? People in the upper tiers are still gonna see bugger all!! Don't be so naive.

:rolleyes:

Yeah, actually, some Spice Girls would be ace - AT LEAST IT WOULD SHOW SOME VARIETY!! Paul Gilbert did a brilliant cover of Two Become One. :D

[Commodore Dan]

I remember a Dave quote from the Dingwalls show.

"i wonder what we'd have to do to our careers in order to play club shows like this ALL the time"

Maybe schedule a club tour and remember how amazing it feels to have every single person in the room (because it will just be a fucking small, hot, sweaty room) know every word to every song you play (even the ones that are 12 years old) and worship (in a non stalker way) your every move onstage?

Yeah I love the band too, so I suppose that's why it kind of detracts from the experience when they're just churning out the singles and the audience is full of knobs who really don't have a clue. 100000s of people want to be at this show because they've tuned into Radio 1 who have (apparently) been hyping this up into the BEST THING EVER, with Dave Grohl quoted on that for good measure.

Yeah Wembley Stadium is pretty good and special etc etc, even in the highest stands you have a decent view of the whole thing (at least, I did when I went to a football game there) but it doesn't mean it's going to be a great show - unless you're just saying that because "Dave says so". Hyde Park was one of the worst Foo Fighters shows I've seen, it just made me cringe, and I don't see how this is going to be much different.

And no, it would just be nice if they played something for the people that actually care about their music. Like on this tour, with Wattershed and Weenie Beenie. But those songs would probably go down like a sack of shit at Wembley - they're just not radio-friendly enough.

Apologies if this post is a bit disjointed, I'm tired.

Innit mate. It's far harder to organise a Wembley stint than it is to swallow your ego, go back to your roots and rock the fuck out for your FANS.

If you leave it until 7pm or so on the day of the gig, you'll probably be able to walk up to Wembley and buy a ticket at face value.

You're probably not wrong mate.

Let's see... :D

(As much as possible, capacities taken from official sites.)

18/11 - London @ 20,000
17/11 - London @ 20,000
14/11 - Nottingham @ 10,000
13/11 - Cardiff @ 7,500
12/11 - Sheffield @ 12,500
10/11 - Aberdeen @ 8,500
09/11 - Glasgow @ 12,500
06/11 - Birmingham @ 13,000
05/11 - Newcastle @ 11,000
03/11 - Manchester @ 21,000


= 136,000.


You could split that into three sections: Scotland and North-East (Aberdeen, Glasgow and Newcastle), North (Manchester, Cardiff, Sheffield and Birmingham) and South (2 x London and Nottingham) or something similar and play three one-off gigs at football stadiums with lower ticket prices and a less wanky stage setup to keep the costs sensible and it'd be a helluva lot more special.

[87Foo]

OMG TEH DAVE GROHLZ HE WAS IN NIRVANANNNA!

I think itll be a great gig because there last show was amazing, front row i enjoyed it, so if i can get where i am standing again at this show i think itll be just as great, i enjoy the songs, and i dont care if they play the same set list its damn good in my opinion, to see the album songs live so dont give me your high horse..wow noobie he loves teh grohl...bla bla.

I will enjoy this gig, and thats all i care about.

[Niff]

Now take that to Wembley's capacity times 2 = 180,000

Plus you have to take into consideration the reduced arena capacities because of the Acoustic stage and runways.

I'd guestimate about 120,000 for arenas. Hellova difference.

1. You wont get the same setlist you saw last time, there'll be even more singles, and less old songs.
2. You wont get the same place. Round stage = "I can see Dave! ... Now I can see Chris!"

[Macs Power]

OMG TEH DAVE GROHLZ HE WAS IN NIRVANANNNA!

OH YEAH!! This will probably be another live CD/DVD too.

Exactly, a venue is rarely gonna be at maximum capacity for a venue because they often don't open the very upper-side tiers because you wouldn't see... and there's closed seats behind the stage.

This was fun. :D

2. You wont get the same place. Round stage = "I can see Dave! ... Now I can see Chris!"

I said that to Kat, no more group shots (http://captain-stu.deviantart.com/art/Sheffoo-03-69710069) because it'll be all one-at-a-time shit.

I steal pens from work. :)

[Jamie]

I'm really not gonna feel too guilty if I end up touting these tickets later on. I made a loss on all the tour ones I sold, so I think I'm allowed.

And if they announce My Chemical Romance as support, it'll be even sweeter ripping off some 15 year old twat.

[Jane]

I feel sorry for the Foo crew. They got fucked up the arse with the 2 stage set up this time round. They're going to have their work cut-out with this round stage with a million ramps and shit. It's not going to feel like they're performing as a unit anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if they added yet another date to make the hassle more worthwhile. But whatever, I want to see it so I bought tickets. I have great memories from other Foo shows which I'm sure will surpass these Wembley dates... but I have never had a bad time at a Foo show because of the company I've gone with :D

[Captain Stu]

That's what makes a modern Foo show - the boardies, let's face it... we're fucking amazing. :D Even in the face of the band turning into U2.

[Two-Bob Peeters]

I'm with www.bethere.co.uk (http://www.bethere.co.uk) and they're brilliant!! I was all sorted, start to finish, in a week, the service is incredibly fast, very reliable so far (4 months in and no problems that related to them), the router they send you for free is actually very good despite looking like a Tonka toy.

My only gripe would be that their call centres are not UK-based or not populated by UK people but that's the case for most places now innit. Thankfully, I've only had one problem and that was because the telephone was causing interference on the phoneline and needed an extra microfilter.

:)

BeThere is owned by 02 now

nPower do Wembley's gas and electric. BOOOOOOOOO. :mad:

but EDF own the network.


oh, and if anyone cares i'm disgusted that they've announced a second show, but it does prove that they're not playing download. because the sunday headliner is usually someone Epic like MEtallica, the foos would get bottled off if they was the sunday headliner

[Captain Stu]

BeThere is owned by 02 now

Is that a good thing or not? I'm not a big fan of O2. :(

[Two-Bob Peeters]

Is that a good thing or not? I'm not a big fan of O2. :(

i think all it'll mean is more investment so they can cover more of the network, be is kinda limited at the moment isn't it, can't get it everywhere yet

[Jamie]

Ookie, where's Hammersmith and how do I get there? Thanks :)

[Captain Stu]

I dunno, the list of connected areas seems pretty good to me... but yeah, they don't have total national coverage but they've been working on it for a couple of years now, converting exchanges up and down the country whenever poss.

They're still ace though - great speed for a fantastic price.

[Niff]

Ookie, where's Hammersmith and how do I get there? Thanks :)

West London near Shepherds Bush, and on the Hammersmith and City line.

I was born there :o

[Two-Bob Peeters]

Ookie, where's Hammersmith and how do I get there? Thanks :)

it's on my way to work in west london :) where are you getting there from? Liverpool St? you can get the Hammersmith and City line all the way, takes about half an hour

i will get it as soon as BT or whoever upgrade this copper shit, i can only get 6.5mb max in my area at the moment, wishy cunt lives next door to the exchange, he'd get 24mb spot on if he got BeThere

Aces.

I'm half a mile from the exchange and the fastest I've seen it run at was 22mbps. I was like this :D for ages.

[Jamie]

Morrissey has the right idea, he's doing 6 nights at the Roundhouse, £180 for all nights. And his fans are way more fanatical than Foo's.
it's on my way to work in west london :) where are you getting there from? Liverpool St?
Yep. Should just be the one tube, no?

I wish :(

[Captain Stu]

Morrissey has the right idea, he's doing 6 nights at the Roundhouse, £180 for all nights. And his fans are way more fanatical than Foo's.

I know it's a totally different scale of band, but:

Less Than Jake.
6 gigs in 6 nights.
Astoria 2 aka Mean Fiddler.
One album in it's entirety per night including b-sides and rarities.

That is the very definition of "doing it for the fans"... and it cost £75 for all 6 tickets. Best bargain evereverever.

[arseface]

£180!! WHAT A CUNT!! :eek:


Wait. I just got that. £180 for the whole lot. That's not too bad. I thought you meant £180 per night...

[Two-Bob Peeters]

Morrissey has the right idea, he's doing 6 nights at the Roundhouse, £180 for all nights. And his fans are way more fanatical than Foo's.

Yeah I saw that, it's a good idea/nice touch.

Booo to seetickets. :mad:

[Captain Stu]

I don't get why Seetickets have the monopoly on so many gigs! They're terrible! Their servers crash when you blink at them (way more than other providers), they favour a diabolical courier service and they generally smoke bum.

They must be lining some serious pockets.

Fuck sake. I go to the library for two hours and come back to find another date was added!

[arseface]

Yup. Shit, aint it?

two dates...why?!?!? ahhhhhh.

Nah. :)

that's handy then

shit!! similar situation.

I fucking hope not. My "exam period" finishes on that day. It would be incredibly bad luck if I happened to have one on the last day.

[Yoz]

Phhhewwww. Im safe. Just checked. Mine end on 23rd May.

[Paul Barrat]

That's what makes a modern Foo show - the boardies, let's face it... we're fucking amazing. :D Even in the face of the band turning into U2.

LOL its funny because its true

You could put the barrier folks in a shitty guano farm in Venezuela and we'd still probably have more fun than regular folks will at Wombley. :D
Amen. It would rock :D

I read that and laughed. I don't think that's going to happen again.

I read that and laughed. I don't think that's going to happen again.

I certainly hope it doesn't happen.
Ugh.

[Two-Bob Peeters]

It won't because Oasis are a bigger band than the foo fighters in the UK

[Bexster]

It won't because Oasis are a bigger band than the foo fighters in the UK
Depsite the fact that the Foos got a much better reception than Oasis at Cardiff the other year, it's true.

[arseface]

Hmmm. Calippo!

Foos are more crowd inspiring though, Oasis wish they had a happy clappy crowd hit like breakout lol....

Oh all you moaning minnies shutup! If you don't like the second date, don't go.

But there was OBVIOUSLY going to be a second date. And as someone said, if they can do it, why shouldn't they?

The setlist maybe bland to us, but this is a HUGE stadium...it's not even like it's an arena...it's gonna be the best concert alot of the people going have ever seen. And good for them :D

I'm going to both, and i plan to get drunk and have a good ol' dance and a laugh with you all. Now shutup and be happy :)

Foos are more crowd inspiring though, Oasis wish they had a happy clappy crowd hit like breakout lol....
Even the Foos cover of Lyla was better than theirs :p
