And maybe we should leave this subject for a while, if you catch my drift. It's a case of *Wednesday all over again.
Yeah sweet. Gigs on saturday yeah? nice

Gutted. Well done to Lara, but the whole thing just sucks. Sorry guys :(
And enjoy yourselves at Minigolf.
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
Very true.
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. :)
Do it. I saw them week before last, and they were fantastic.
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 in the south as Yozza pointed out. And in Wales. We never get many regular tours come here, let alone secret gigs.
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.
I've bought tickets before a few years ago when Seetickets put Coldplay tickets on 2 DAYS early.
I almost feel bad for posting this...but I got tickets. Me and Suzanne will be representing our fellow nutjobs on Friday.:D
Enjoy guys. Scream loud - i'll be listening on the radio.

Suzanne2228

Depends on whose getting public transport and who is driving down. I'll probably be meeting Lara in London and getting the train down from there.

Seriously? How many people were there?
Chloë
August 14th 2007, 04:17 PM
I'm really bad at estimating, but I'd say about 150-200. About 100 people in front of me, and with everyone buying 2 tickets.... couldn't have got there any earlier so that was my best shot.
Katie Everlong
August 14th 2007, 04:18 PM
bollocky bollocks.

August 14th 2007, 04:27 PM

nah, not much really, just 108 pages and 2100+ posts about the possibility of some tribute band playing at the seaside.

No idea, and no idea. I'd imagine the first 2 shows will have no more than 10 or 20 people there.

Having read through the thread, I almost feel bad re-appearing here :o But then again, I did miss out on Dingwalls tickets.
I did go to the venue... as soon as I saw the link to the page, I threw on my shoes, grabbed my keys and quite literally ran to my car. I hope the gig is pretty damn good, so at least it's worth the points on my license that might result from the drive over there.
Concorde 2 looks lovely... it's about a 10 minute walk from the pier. I just hope that the weather is better than today :)
If anyone wants to know where the mini-golf is... let me know.
(Not a pair of boardshorts in sight, btw)
This gig won't beat Dingwalls...
still would have been good to go :)

Jamie
August 14th 2007, 07:49 PM
Was there no stipulation that people needed ID that matched the booking?
The people at the venue didn't get tickets as such, we got a receipt with our name on it, and the number of people paid for, and were told to bring photo ID when we came on the day.
EDIT:
You might want to get it in writing from him that you don't need ID
You do. The tout can only really sell their spare. If they're selling two, then avoid.

I'm not going all the way there without tickets, I can't take the risk of the rejection I'd feel if I didn't end up getting in I tried that once before, and ended up getting lucky (different band) but it was a lot closer to home.
Although I just thought that I'd point out that radio 1 did more or less the same thing with the killers last year. And the week after their 'exclusive' gig tickets for a proper tour went on sale. There is still hope!

I don’t know how to begin to express my disgust at this. My friends and I, all tried to get tickets but were deigned due to people like rosie8594 wanting to make a quick buck. When I see people who have no interest in the band profiting on the misfortune of others it makes me really angry.
Chris can you get E-bay to take down these tickets and invalided them so at least a true fan may have a shot of getting the tickets. I don’t mean give them to me but give every one who couldn’t even get on to the website today a shot at them.
Thanks for your time

If necessary i am happy to accompany the purchaser to the venue when the doors open and show I.D. to make that they get in. I work close to the venue and i will keep my lunchbreak free to do this.
i am not an unscrupulous ticket tout by nature, just really skint, and i want to make sure that whoever gets the tickets gets in with no problems at all.

No idea. My train arrives at Liverpool Street, so whichever is easiest from there.
I've just checked, first train arrives at 6:41, or 5:57 if i'm willing to drive a bit further to another train station.

I say we play a little game of fuck the tout. Rules are easy - we all put bid's on the tickets until there something like £20,000. She will then have to cough up the seller's fee's weather we pay or not.
As far as I'm aware, there is nothing e-bay can do to force a sale other than to ban you or the seller give you a bad rating. I'm not arsed if they do either as I don't use it much anyway.

if your gonna play fuck the tout, i've got a better way of doing it.
put in a bid thats just enuff to win it - realistically - and arrange to meet said twat (tout) at the venue.
then go down there pretending to be someone else, the touts 'real' buyer doesnt turn up - and you give it the old "well i may aswell give you 20 quid for it coz you aint gonna get shut of it now" line.
sorted.
oh, yeah, i forgot, then once you're in the club tell the tout who you really are and give 'em a big fuck off from me.

As far as I'm aware, there is nothing e-bay can do to force a sale other than to ban you or the seller give you a bad rating. I'm not arsed if they do either as I don't use it much anyway.
That's such a good idea!

Actually, I've just thought. My mum has an account (that I used to use before I was 18) that never gets used anymore. I could use that one to do it though I'd have to check with her first.

Although I wish she hadn't done it and we're all pissed off, she's just trying to make some money. If some band I couldn;t care less about were doing something similar and I had the opportunity I probably would.

You can do it.
Just refuse to pay after auction close.
YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY despite it being legally binding, eBay may contact you, but you can just blame someone for using your account.
Reminds me of when i bought a car when i was 13 using eBay

I'm getting the kentish town/london bridge/east running train down to Brighton. Am not wanting to leave as early as 7am/8am cos those trains are hideous in the rush hour. I was thinking more like catching one at 10 or 11, if you're all going earlier, see you there! I'll just have the FF back catalogue to keep me company instead.

See, in all good conscience I couldn't bring myself to rip someone off like that. And I've had the opportunity, when I've had a ticket and couldn't go, and it was a band I wasn't that fussed about seeing. I could've made a mint, but I've always sold at face value plus expenses. Call me a softie.:o

I've just double checked and theres no point . She gets the fees back after 10 days if we don't pay. Bugger, that must be a new rule.

Yeah. To be honest, I'd rather spend an hour and a half on a hideous train and get there with a few hours to spare. Might as well make the most of it, I guess.

See, that time would work for me, I am SO not a morning person...I'll consult with Suzanne (I get the feeling she's not a morning person either:D but she might want to get there early ) and we may meet up with you at London Bridge; I don't think it's far from St Pauls, off the top of my head.

If Chris Moyals doesn't do anything tomorrow I'm just going to call the BBC and make a complaint.
Something along the lines of my license fee being used to host this gig and people making money of it and all that shit. Should do trick. The BBC are terrified of getting in to trouble with OFCOM again.
Damn..I have way to much time on my hand's at the moment.

How's about we meet at Clapham Junction? I'm pretty sure most of the Brighton trains run through there anyway so should be a bit simpler to meet up. I want to get down there kinda early but not too early that I'm going to be like the living dead for a few hours.

Yeh you're right. I don't think I've ever encountered any mental foo fans outside the board.
I was just thinking...after all this stress of buying tickets to the smaller shows, buying tickets for the actual tour will seem like a breeze in comparison.
