[Jamie]

How big is this venue? I thought it said 200 tickets, but that's just what's available at the venue.

[Katie Everlong]

[FooManiac4ever]

It annoys me that they keep telling people to go online. :(

[Katie Everlong]

OH GOD! They know excactly how to wind everyone up!

[FooManiac4ever]

becky. You can order some tickets cant yourself cant ye?

Er should be able to yeah.

[Katie Everlong]

I wish i could but i cant. But with the amount of spares weve got dibbed, we shud be ok right? :/

[Jamie]

If only.

[BabyFran]

How big is this venue? I thought it said 200 tickets, but that's just what's available at the venue.


Quite small venue less than 500 i would say. Its the best venue no barriers etc im off to queue to get mine soon. Only two per person tho. I will get my husband to join me in the queue just before 12 in the queue to get more. They are in Brighton all day Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BabyFran]

Just got a babysitter sorted for that night too. Just got to get the blasted tix.

[Jamie]

Eep... my knees were wrecked after Dingwalls.

[SamIAm]

Bollocks.

I've been reading this thread since page one, days ago, hoping for a Thursday night in London.

Not a cat in hell's that I can do Brighton on Friday :(

[Jamie]

There isnt usually a barrier in underworld or dingwalls, but they put one up at underworld and they were going to at Dingwalls. And dingwalls was like 300? so with 500 they'll probably put one up.

[Jamie]

Suzannes gonna try for 2 tickets also.

[rachael2050]

Damn, Brighton is too far away :(

[FooManiac4ever]

If I don't get a ticket, I'll cry. :(

[Jamie]

I'm being nice :)

[Katie Everlong]

i wish hed stop telling people :( i knows its his job but still. Most people lsiten to this while going to work...theyll be in work at noon! :p

[Katie Everlong]

so on see tickets...do you just type in foo fighters and refresh at noon?

[FooManiac4ever]

God I'm panicing so much about not getting tickets! :(

[Jamie]

so on see tickets...do you just type in foo fighters and refresh at noon?

There's a direct link on the bbc page that's been posted. Scroll down to How To Get Foo Fighters Tickets. I'm sure the show will appear there at 12.

[Katie Everlong]

theres a direct link to see tickets. But nothing else!

[Jamie]

theres a direct link to see tickets. But nothing else!

If you hover over the link, it says Foo in the address, so I'd say it will become a direct link at the time.

[Katie Everlong]

If you hover over the link, it says Foo in the address, so I'd say it will become a direct link at the time.

ok sweet. thank you

[stu250]

there is no mention of the venue so i'm guessing it will be announced when/if you get through to the 'buy tickets' page.
friday is good but i was hoping for something a bit closer - london even. thats gonna be a marathon drive from liverpool but i'll be trying at high noon and if anyone from up north gets a spare pls remember, i have car and will travel.:D

stu.

Concorde 2 im guessing!

[Jamie]

ok sweet. thank you

Actually, ignore me, I think you're right. Just keep an eye on the link throughout the morning incase it does change, and there's no harm in having the foo seetickets page open in another window.

[smoo]

if you hover over the link it is actually only a redirect from radio 1's url to see tickets. It will only ever take you to the homepage unless they update the link later on.

Am i reading it right that they are playing 6pm-7pm? how nuts is that on a friday afternoon!

[Charlotte]

How far is it from London to Brighton?

[Jamie]

Concorde 2 im guessing!

"There are also 200 tickets available at the Brighton Concorde 2 box office."

[FooManiac4ever]

How much do you reckon ticket's will be?
I don't know how much money I have in my bank :|

[SamIAm]

You read the whole thread? Sorry about that :o :D

Yup. Even though I'm bummed about not being able to travel 300 miles for 1 hours worth of Foo, at least I've had days worth of entertainment right here :D

[i like orange juice]

concorde 2 is a niceish small venue, i've been to gigs there with and without a barrier, and it's a weird shape inside so i would probably expect the foos to have one. if 200 tickets are available in person at the box office, there can only be a couple of hundred more to buy online unless they're not actually playing there and are just shifting tickets from their box office...?

[Katie Everlong]

i just said to myself "is it this worth it for an hour?" then i laughed to myself and said "it's not. but dont act like your not gonna go if you get tickets!"

[Jane]

Oh my God, stress. Finally my wifi works.

[FooManiac4ever]

I dunnnnno.
I can't think properly.
It's too early. and I'm getting anxious.

:/
How much do you reckon tickets will be?

[Katie Everlong]

about 27. like the last one?

[Jamie]

I dunnnnno.
I can't think properly.
It's too early. and I'm getting anxious.

:/
How much do you reckon tickets will be?

I'd say cheaper than last time. I'd imagine that the BBC will subsidise it in some way.

[FooManiac4ever]

i just said to myself "is it this worth it for an hour?" then i laughed to myself and said "it's not. but dont act like your not gonna go if you get tickets!"

I said the same.
:D

[Katie Everlong]

STOP ANNOUNCING IT!!!!1
#1#1#RKGHFGHDS


what do i do now? for...3 and a half hours?!

[FooManiac4ever]

I'd say cheaper than last time. I'd imagine that the BBC will subsidise it in some way.

Ahh I hope so. :)




(Gah stop talking about Brighton Chris Moyles !!!)

[Suzanne2228]

Even if I don't get tickets I'm going down to Brighton extremely early to queue and try my luck. I cannot miss this. I'll try for 2 but he doesn't shut up I'm going to slap Chris Moyles.

[FooManiac4ever]

FUCK... Stress! :mad: :(

[Jane]

STOP ANNOUNCING IT!!!!1
#1#1#RKGHFGHDS


what do i do now? for...3 and a half hours?!

Head to Brighton for tickets? I am so tempted to. Screw the wedding, I'm going!!

I'm considering that too. Which is crazy considering I'm supposed to be at work Friday and live a few hours away

[Katie Everlong]

Head to Brighton for tickets? I am so tempted to. Screw the wedding, I'm going!!

haha are you going to Brighton now?! Friggin hell! lol, take someone with you so you can get more than 2 tickets :p

[funkyhitman]

The good news about the gig being between 6-7pm is that we can all get home easily cos my last train is 9.50pm which is rediculous for a normal gig ending at 11pm!

[Jamie]

Keep your eyes on ebay, especially look out for Brighton based sellers

[FooManiac4ever]

I don't know what to do with myself til 12... :/

[Jamie]

The good news about the gig being between 6-7pm is that we can all get home easily cos my last train is 9.50pm which is rediculous for a normal gig ending at 11pm!

Bear in mind that might just be the broadcast time, the gig may finish a bit later.
But you're right, I said the same thing.

[stu250]

rac routeplanner says 267.79 miles from my house - just over 4 hours (if i'm lucky with traffic), just over 5 hours if i'm not.

and i would drive 500 miles, and i would drive 500 more, just to see the foo's play the pretender live for the first time.

but then the bastards will probably announce another one on monday on my doorstep whilst on their way to edinburgh.:eek:

stu.

[funkyhitman]

photo ID required, and youll probably need your card too. So doesnt that rule out touts?

[stu250]

kinda begs the question.....what will the band do after the show finishes at 7.00p.m. - secret gig anyone....?

stu.

[Jamie]

photo ID required, and youll probably need your card too. So doesnt that rule out touts?

Wasn't there Dingwalls tickets on there for £250 each? The touts meet you down there to collect tickets.

It's for foo though, it'll be worth it :D

[Suzanne2228]

Same rules applied for dingwalls and there was still listings on ebay for that wasn't there?

[Jane]

Right, I have to go and get ready for work. See you when I get in people!!!

[Jamie]

Tickets £15 each.

[FooManiac4ever]

Tickets £15 each.

Excellent. :D

[stu250]

200 tickets available on the door - that cant leave many left for the internet sale - plus there is no question to answer so any tom, dick or harry just has to get through to get 'em.

stu.

[Jamie]

Jesus christ, some guy is posting it in every forum. As if Moyles saying it every 2 minutes wasnt enough.

[Suzanne2228]

Hayseed Dixie are playing at 8pm at concorde 2 tonight. Sweet! :D

[i like orange juice]

i don't know if i'll be able to try and get tickets. :( longshot, but is anyone likely to have a spare or two? :(

[FooManiac4ever]

What?! :(
How annoying.

At this rate, I'm not even going to get to go. :(

[funkyhitman]

Tickets £15 each.

How'd you know?

[Katie Everlong]

How'd you know?

gen foo

[nursekitty]

Fuck I cant believe I have only just woken up. Stupid husband managed to switch the alarm off.

My Broadband always goes ultra slow around midday :(


I have just checked my e-mail and got the fright of my life, there was a Foo Fighters e-mail there - it was from the record company.

Will do. :)

[Jane]

I paniced when I got that too. :D

I did exactly the same thing. Great minds :D

[Jamie]

What email is this then? A foofighters.com one or an RCA one?

[nursekitty]

Anyone have any idea how long it takes to get to Brighton from Liverpool?

[Daxter]

A good few hours about 4 I reckon

[Katie Everlong]

Anyone have any idea how long it takes to get to Brighton from Liverpool?

4 to 5 hours apparently

[FooManiac4ever]

Ugh I have a dilema.
If I get two tickets, and then cannot get there, how do I give them to others?
Surely that's going to be impossible with photo ID etc?

[stu250]

just posted it on the last page m'dear.

problem is that with it being a 5.00p.m. show it would mean friday off work coz you couldn't depend on the traffic.

stu.

argh this is nuts.

[Suzanne2228]

Ugh I have a dilema.
If I get two tickets, and then cannot get there, how do I give them to others?

You're just going to have to go!

[Daxter]

And its going to cost £75.40 on train fares!!!

[stu250]

Ugh I have a dilema.
If I get two tickets, and then cannot get there, how do I give them to others?
Surely that's going to be impossible with photo ID etc?

well you must decide to buy or not to buy within the next 3hrs.

or you will be pissed if you get them, cant go, cant give them to anyone and have just blown 30 quid.

stu.

[Katie Everlong]

im gonna make my dad try for tickets to!

[stu250]

And its going to cost £75.40 on train fares!!!

is that from liverpool to brighton direct - how many transfers and what time does it leave - is it a return or just one way coz thats cheaper than the petrol in my car....?

stu.

[nursekitty]

4 to 5 hours apparently

Bloody hell :eek: So I'm going to have to leave about 11.00 am.

[Haroon]

awwww it turns out i'm too young :(

does anyone know if they're gonna come here for a tour anyway?

like a proper tour?

[Jamie]

I have to leave for work in 25 minutes. I feel well ill :(

[Katie Everlong]

i have a banging headache

[nursekitty]

im gonna make my dad try for tickets to!

I have my nephew upstairs with his computer, he doesn't know it yet but he will be trying as well. :p

[Katie Everlong]

I have my nephew upstairs with his computer, he doesn't know it yet but he will be trying as well. :p

haha i cant think of anyone else i can rope into trying for me!

I think we've all got that sick feeling this morning.

[chink2love]

one i think im going to have to miss :-( stupid start times!

hope everyone gets tickets that needs them, the linky should be the same as the normal one if its see tickets.. hope that gives you a head start :-)

[nursekitty]

haha i cant think of anyone else i can rope into trying for me!

I was thinking of getting my mum involved but I would most probably end up with two tickets to the Southport flower show.

[Jamie]

one i think im going to have to miss :-( stupid start times!

hope everyone gets tickets that needs them, the linky should be the same as the normal one if its see tickets.. hope that gives you a head start :-)

Ooh, that's a good point. The actual gig starts while most people are at work.

[ooboo]

And the competition draw in gen foo!

[Daxter]

is that from liverpool to brighton direct - how many transfers and what time does it leave - is it a return or just one way coz thats cheaper than the petrol in my car....?

stu.

Its from Liverpool to Euston, Euston to Victoria on a tube and then Victoria to Brighton. Leaves at 10.15am gets there at 14.30 (I think)

[Yoz]

haha i cant think of anyone else i can rope into trying for me!

uuhhhh what happened?

[FooManiac4ever]

My mum won't help me.
She says its silly to spend a weeks wages going.
:(
Damnit.

However, I'm going to try anyway, I've decided.

[FooManiac4ever]

Its from Liverpool to Euston, Euston to Victoria on a tube and then Victoria to Brighton. Leaves at 10.15am gets there at 14.30 (I think)
I was looking at that the other day.
Ugh.
£70 is such a lot of money.

[stu250]

Ooh, that's a good point. The actual gig starts while most people are at work.

hence my question from earlier - any chance of a secret secret gig after the secret announced gig.

stu.

[Chloë]

Anyone know when tickets will be available to buy at the box office?

[stu250]

is that 70 quid one way or can i come back the next day for my 70 quid - its worth it if i can get a b&b

stu.

[Katie Everlong]

just called my dad and gave him all my details. so i may end up with 4, if thats the case the other 2 will obvs go to you guys.

[Jamie]

Anyone know when tickets will be available to buy at the box office?

Didn't say, but I'd suggest going asap if you plan to.

[Katie Everlong]

im guessing 12

Do I need to say it?

[Yoz]

sorry, just woke up.
So how long is the set do you know??

[FooManiac4ever]

hence my question from earlier - any chance of a secret secret gig after the secret announced gig.

stu.

What like in London or somewhere?

[Katie Everlong]

Do I need to say it?

AS SOON AS i saw youd posted i knew excactly what you were gonna say. If i get spares, one goes to you on default! simply because you never ever stop being a slut.

[Suzanne2228]

hence my question from earlier - any chance of a secret secret gig after the secret announced gig.

stu.
Maybe. The venue doesn't have anyone booked that night. I'm quite tempted to go down tonight and check the place out though. Hayseed Dixie are playing. :)

[Jamie]

AS SOON AS i saw youd posted i knew excactly what you were gonna say. If i get spares, one goes to you on default! simply because you never ever stop being a slut.

Woo! My sluttish whoreishness pays off again.

[Katie Everlong]

what do you mean another secret gig?

[Jamie]

They're playing in the morning, mid day and afternoon. I think they'll be too knackered to do another in the evening.

And I've just spent the last few minutes clicking the ticket link, in the hope that they accidentally put them on sale a 9am. No luck though.

[Yoz]

Is it really worth a 5hour drive...:confused:

[Katie Everlong]

Is it really worth a 5hour drive...:confused:

not really. But you know most people dont care and will go anyway

[FooManiac4ever]

Gah.
I don't know what to do.

I'm so anxious!

[Katie Everlong]

that link we got in gen foo is different to the one on the radio 1 website...
I know see tickets and gigs and tours are basically the same. But we got a bit of a different link, why do you reckon?

[Jamie]

Has anyone still got Radio 1 on?
He's playing the Spongebob theme. And now the Turtles theme.

And they wonder why I don't listen to this?

[Katie Everlong]

i couldnt take him constantly talking about the gig so i turned it off :(

All this for a one hour gig on friday? SLEEP, YOU WEIRDOS.

[Katie Everlong]

All this for a one hour gig on friday? SLEEP, YOU WEIRDOS.

Team Boris says NO to negativity!

[Captain Stu]

You were only saying the other day how you have no money and badly need a job!

Team Boris is for chumps.

[nursekitty]

Is it really worth a 5hour drive...:confused:

Its a road trip init.

It could be a huge scream.

[Jamie]

Team Boris says NO to negativity!

Goooooo Boris!

[Katie Everlong]

Team Boris is for chumps.

I know but i don't care :)

And Team Boris is not, don't let Jade hear you say that. She'll skin you alive!

[chili__pepper]

hmmm i have an exam on the friday morning (uni resit exam) finishes at 11:30.

i could get a flight from glasgow to gatwick that gets me into london at like half 2 or something. then a bus/train to Brighton.

i would be over £100 in travel to get there and back in one night. plus it only gives me 1hr 45mins to catch my flight after my exam...

argh i dont know what to do!!!!

[FooManiac4ever]

I turned it off aswell.

[FooManiac4ever]

Its a road trip init.

It could be a huge scream.

Are you definitely going if you can get tickets?

[Katie Everlong]

I need to get a shower and wash my hair but im scared ill miss something :(

[nursekitty]

Are you definitely going if you can get tickets?

Most definatly. Just got to get the tickets now.

[chili__pepper]

shit hold on...im confused...it starts at 5?


i thought it stared at 6?

if its 5 i dont think i could get from Glasgow in time...:(

[stu250]

They're playing in the morning, mid day and afternoon. I think they'll be too knackered to do another in the evening.



i cant see the morning and afternoon sets being 'full on' - maybe a bit more unplugged-ish.

and the evening set of 1 hour would just be like a warm up.

No way are they gonna play 2 small gigs and then a festival headliner gig in that short space of time - it'd be immense but they'd run the very real risk of stinking at V and I'm sure they'd get in a lot of trouble over that - Taylor would be absolutely knackered too.

[chili__pepper]

blah.

i dont think i can afford the £100 on travel + £15 gig ticket + food for the day.

it would be pushing it to get there on time.

think this is another damn secret gig that ill have to miss out on. (last one i was in Paris seeing the chili peppers)

:(

ill get to the next one! DEFINATELY. providing there is a next one...

[Captain Stu]

This isn't a secret gig, don't worry about it.

[FooManiac4ever]

Most definatly. Just got to get the tickets now.

:)

[Jamie]

I'm at work. That makes me a sad panda :(

[Katie Everlong]

I'm at work. That makes me a sad panda :(

aww (see how sympathetic i am?)

[Jamie]

aww (see how sympathetic i am?)

All sympathy is appreciated.
And my work internet is quite slow, so I best still get tickets.

[Yoz]

hmmm i have an exam on the friday morning (uni resit exam) finishes at 11:30.

i could get a flight from glasgow to gatwick that gets me into london at like half 2 or something. then a bus/train to Brighton.

i would be over £100 in travel to get there and back in one night. plus it only gives me 1hr 45mins to catch my flight after my exam...

argh i dont know what to do!!!!

dude thats too extreme!

[i like orange juice]

i live so close to brighton, it almost seems a waste if i don't go. but i'm going to liverpool on thursday and getting back in time would be nightmarish. also, i'm going to the doctor at 11:15am to try and get some sleeping pills because i haven't slept for days and i doubt i'll be back for 12 to buy tickets. i think i'm going to have to give this one a miss...

[Yoz]

Suppose i'll give it a go.

Nah. Just train it up from Liverpool on the friday morning.

Although prices are insaneeee!

[Jamie]

Chris has just announced the gig has been cancelled. Dave's caught foot and mouth.

I read that first bit and paniced!!

[Haroon]

can anyone answer my question?

will the Foo Fighters come on a UK tour later this year/early next year?

[funkyhitman]

Shit, it's listed on seetickets now...you can't buy yet though but it's already more organised than before!

can anyone answer my question?

will the Foo Fighters come on a UK tour later this year/early next year?

November!

[smoo]

Jo the nutter is down at the venue. She said there's about 20 people in the queue.

But I'm going to try and go anyway.

ask her wether anyone has got fooboard shorts on - they could be imposters.

[Katie Everlong]

oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...2 hours

[Captain Stu]

£70+ FOR A ONE HOUR GIG?!

There, proof that "Team Boris" is full of chumps.

[stu250]

who is contemplating driving/travelling from liverpool - is it worth a car share-esque type road trip - it could work out cheaper (and more fun) than british rail....?

stu.

[stu250]

on the other hand, it could be a 1 hour broadcast of a 2 hour gig - y'know play a few newies and a couple of crowd fav's for the first hour and then fill the final hour with s/t stuff and tcats.

AND at the same time. You don't need to justify why you want to go, if people want to go for a one hour gig that other people think isnt worth it then it's up to them. :)

[FooManiac4ever]

stu.

I've looked on British Rail.
It'll cost you about £50 with a rail card.
£78? or something without...

[Jamie]

Frankly, I'd travel anywhere in the country to see the Stripes play a one note show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vYlHTGsmso) again. Can't make fun of Foo fans who'd do the same.

[chili__pepper]

yeah ive deided definately not to go.

well gutted though.

but i cant afford the £100 in travel to get there and back, plus its not a definate i would get there in time.

GOOD LUCK to all those trying for tickets!

[Suzanne2228]

Get down there quick Suzanne!
I can't get there now! *cries* I'm going to have to try my luck online like the rest of you.

[chelsce]

does anyone know if they are going to go down and get tickets from the box office?

[stu250]

I've looked on British Rail.

is that returning the same night, the following day, or just one way. i'd hate to think you may have to leave early to get the train back home - at least in a car you are your own pilot (albeit sober).

Erm its return as far as I know.
Returning the day after (saturday)
It's what I'm considering, Although I can't really afford it.

[Daxter]

good luck to everyone trying to get tickets I just don't think that I can afford this thanks to the v.expensive train fares. Oh well, I'll just have to hope for another gig closer to me

[i like orange juice]

if anyone uses the orange gigs&tours service, they appear to have tickets onsale already, it's just everytime i try and buy they say the order can't be processed... thought it may work for someone else though?

[O.B.gene]

they say the order can't be processed
...cause they're not on sale yet...

[Captain Stu]

Becky, Katie, Stu - fair play to you lot for sticking with it, I hope you get tickets to get some Northern Monkeys down there.

But, to make my regular point, look who's being royally shafted again - fans in the North.

[i like orange juice]

...cause they're not on sale yet...
the whole point of orange gigsandtours thingy is that you can buy tickets in advance, so they are appearing as ON SALE.

[Katie Everlong]

damn pre sales :(

it's annoying.
It's costing me £50 just to get there.


This is dedication! :D

That's not good news...I bet the same will happen when ordering via seetickets at 12...this happened with Dingwalls and was the reason I couldn't go! If this happens again it's time Seetickets heard our cries and do something about their shitty servers after all these years of dissapointing fans!

[Captain Stu]

It's not the fucking ticket companies fault. How on Earth are they supposed to cope with the demand of thousands of people trying to buy a couple of hundred tickets? It's impossible.

[i like orange juice]

now it's saying there are no tickets available on the orange/gigsandtours thing! i'm sooooooooo confused and there is no chance of me going now, rubbish.

[FreakFreak]

do you think there would be any objections to me and my mate taking our tents etc in to the venue en route to chelmsford?

[Jamie]

It's not the fucking ticket companies fault. How on Earth are they supposed to cope with the demand of thousands of people trying to buy a couple of hundred tickets? It's impossible.

Exactly. People always moan about Seetickets, but complain if they use Ticketmaster aswell. The only time I've ever been angry with the ticket company was when they put the tickets on sale 3 hours early.

[Jane]

Anyone heard anything about the comp yet?

[Katie Everlong]

Anyone heard anything about the comp yet?

nope. theyll have to announce it before people buy tickets? wont they? :S no?

[Jane]

nope. theyll have to announce it before people buy tickets? wont they? :S no?

I dunno cos the comp is for the morning, mid day or afternoon isn't it. Or does the Concorde 2 gig count as afternoon?

[Katie Everlong]

Well I kind of disagree because Ticketmaster has never failed to process my order but seetickets has. Ticketmaster allocate you your tickets and keep them just for you whilst you are filling in your order...seetickets dont do this so if you have a problem during the order you have no chance of getting tickets. Ticketmaster's servers are better with demand but seetickets crash very easily.

My point is, when I was buying my Dingwalls tickets, I easily got through to the order form...but seetickets failed me after the submit payment button, but if they had allocated tickets to me they could have said please ring us to complete your order...it makes more sense because I got through easily to seetickets when it went wrong but they just said 'no the order hasn't gone through, try again'.

[stu250]

Becky, Katie, Stu - fair play to you lot for sticking with it, I hope you get tickets to get some Northern Monkeys down there.

But, to make my regular point, look who's being royally shafted again - fans in the North.

and i am in total agreement with you - from my point of view, i'm not bothered with the gig costing me £100 (70 for petrol there and back plus ticket and a bit of food) coz i would pay that over again for a 500 person venue. its the fact that its gonna take me at least 5 hours to get there, then if i wanna drive back the same night i cant have a drink. the alternative is that i could get a stop over but that'll put another £50 on it and i wont get back till sat p.m.

surely radio 1 has got to video some part of this - like when they did the live lounge on tour and noel gallagher went to that guys house and played in his front room.
i'm sure stuff will turn up on the internet over the following days/weeks from the radio 1 website.

'From next week, you can also watch highlights of the gig online and by pressing Red on any BBC TV channel.

It says that you can press the red button on BBC TV to watch it, or some of it, later on.

Morning is a live performance with Chris Moyles.
Afternoon is a live lounge performance for Jo Wiley.
Evening is the gig.

Well, Ticketmaster is obviously a much bigger company but they also have a sickening mark-up on tickets with their fees.

pretty soon sod's law is gonna come into play.

that being those who are desperate to go wont get tickets, those who are sitting on the fence over money/time/location etc will get tickets so its gonna cost them loadsa money/time/hassle, and those who cant go but are gonna try anyway for the hell of it will get the offer of tickets but, due to photo id restrictions, they wont be able to get them to the people who want to go.
:confused:

stu.

[Captain Stu]

Mate, all you lot will end up going - only half of you need to get tickets remember.
