Gigs and Music Events

"Ticketmaster are useless, as well as being cunts"

This.

Still bitter about my lost ACDC tickets. Had them in the cart and Ticketfucker's payment gateway shat the bed. By the time I'd got another set of tickets they'd doubled in price.

its so stupid, my friend had tickets to a gig on AXS but whenever he went into his account page it listed no events (something like "you have no upcoming events!")

he looked and saw that he had a failing network request whenever he loaded that page, but good luck explaining that to AXS customer service, so every ticket he bought he has to go to the box office for, obvs just created a new account for the future, but all just pointless waste of time

Bought a ticket for Supergrass in Brisbane today. I never saw them BITD even tho' I religiously bought all their records at the time, really looking forward to it, my favourite British 90s band.

Next gig I'm going to is the Big Star Quintet in Vigo next month then it's The Saints back in Brisbane in November. Oldies shows! 👴⚰️

They're ace live. Seen them a few times now.

Was tempted in the UK but all the venues are too big.

Hoping to make the Roundhouse show in May my boy's first gig - he loves them since Alright was used in the Peter Rabbit movie.

Was tempted in the UK but all the venues are too big.

That's why I never saw them BITD. They're playing at the Tivoli in Brisbane which I would describe as about the size of the old Astoria, maybe even a bit smaller. Perfect size.

Saw the a couple of times. Once at the Shepherds Bush Empire and once at the Astoria, I believe it was the last gig at the Astoria before it shut down.

I'd put them in my top 2 of live shows.

This makes me feel old, as I saw them at the Jericho Tavern in Oxford just after they’d released their first single.

Got the Supergrass tickets in the bag as soon as they went on sale, then tried to pay and it span out until it timed out and it was sold out. So fuck Seetickets as well.

Ha - I saw them play in the HMV on cornmarket street that afternoon.

Cool old dudes assemble!

Franz Ferdinand in Shebu next March.

Frank Carter and Sex Pistols tonight in Glasgow. Totally brilliant.

Is anyone going to any of the upcoming Biffy Clyro gigs? I am going to see the Blackened Sky London gig solo on the 20th of October Shepherd's Bush o2

My partner used to like these guys. I saw them once, maybe supporting someone else I think, Muse? I'll mention it to her.

I saw PWEI at the weekend, was good fun nostalgia

im going to all 6..

they have definitely supported muse in the past. Likely sold out but may get lucky on a resale

haha good effort that! if they all came out at the same time that is impressive ticket procurement

Thanks to @Skülly I managed to get a ticket for A R Kane's February gig.

Had 5 people trying to focus on 2 tickets to specific dates, 5 of us are going to all 3 london and 3 of us going to all 3 glasgow! We got very lucky considering 3 of us also got tickets to all 3 of the 2014 barras shows too

that's mega.. want to be my friend at Glastonbury ticket time haha?
I am on my own, PM me if you're early for your mates and fancy a beer on the Blackened Sky one !

Ah, it was Foo Fighters she said.

Did you dig it?

He hehe, yeah, they My lift home dropped me by the drivd thru Maccy D's near mine, I managed to resist a Big Mac Fries to go order though.
