It's all about teamwork! (but mostly luck)

FooManiac4ever
August 14th 2007, 09:48 AM

If half of us get tickets.
The other ticket goes to someone on the board.
Things will work themselves out.

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 us in the south!
No one tours Devon & Cornwalll... not suprised tho:)

To be honest, i'm gonna guess that they mean 80 orders. So probably 160 tickets, it makes a bit more sense.

If they don't and they allow everyone through at the same time - it's the same end result. Don't be daft chief, there is ALWAYS going to be thousands of disappointed fans when things like this are on sale and it's for that very reason that they're fucking shit.

Nope it still sucks... :(

I'm just trying to remember the Camden Underworld gig where it said sold out, and then they came back on. But with only 80 tickets this is much more likely to actually be sold out

Captain Stu
August 14th 2007, 10:48 AM
80 tickets for an online sale is absolutely pointless, it's srsly not worth the hassle - should've made them all competitions like MF2003, officially the best secret Foo gig ever.

but its a good song man. listen! :D

I'll have a whirl when I get home, can't get to MySpace in work... but you go listen to MY song and tell me how amazing my solo is. :)

80 tickets for an online sale is absolutely pointless, it's srsly not worth the hassle - should've made them all competitions like MF2003, officially the best secret Foo gig ever.


They couldn't though - the BBC has had to suspend all competitions.

i hope a real fan has benefitted from my generosity - now please come up north a bit more pls - fuckin ipswich, the isle of wight and now brighton - these guys will be playin the next gig in their fuckin wellies.

Well I didn't get any either, I was hoping that the tickets at least went to true fans like the people who post on here. But I'm guessing that there was just not enough of them to go around. Absolutely gutted but at least I'll be able to watch the highlights on the TV and there will be other gigs, and it was going to cost a fortune to get there and back.

I still don't feel any better after saying all that though. I'll get lucky one day, and finally make it to a foo's gig!

August 14th 2007, 12:03 PM
i think the chances of ticketless people getting in are likely.

one of the only reasons i didn't turn up to the mean fiddler gig (in 2003, i think?) was the fact that wiley had told me that he wasn't sure he could get me in and i didn't want to take the risk, but other people did and were fine.

I know how much everyone wanted to get a ticket and while I'm extremely grateful Lara's chosen to give me her spare I feel like it isn't fair on everyone else. I've been frantically searching round other places to try and find people with spares but so far no luck. I know there's still the competition on here but chances are slim. If it's any consolation I'll treat everyone that comes down to mini golf and the dodgems, whether or not you guys get tickets on the door. I just hope you all get in!

No idea. I missed that one. Quite a few people got into Dingwalls and the Underworld and their venues are roughly the same size as concorde aren't they? I think there was around 20 tickets sold on the door for Underworld and maybe the same for Dingwalls.
