Ever tried for one of their presales?

They often say "Pre-sale from February 1" They don't give a start time, and since they are based in the UK, they sometimes start them at 4am. People who really want to score tickets usually stay up all night, fingering their F5 button for hours and hours.

i was late to the party...gf was able to get in for the presale, but they didn't discover...she called me to get my card but i was still in bed and missed the call....i looked when i got up and they were sold out. but yeah, the no time thing is annoying.

we did score good seats on ticketmaster tho...first section on stones side, 20 or so rows up.

from what i could tell, they only do floor seats during the presale? if so, i'm very happey with the seats we got.

I got my wife similar seats for the San Jose show (she is going without me cuz of tax season!)

For arena shows, I think some of the floor seats end up in public hands.

Is "Stone's side" the new official title of the "Right side" ??

yeah, right side...

i must admit, i can only name one band member

They are nice to see live, but they are very serious up there...not much humor or warmth!

Not quite true...
Thom's dancing is hysterical and catchy... and Johnny's playing his guitar like a violin is fun to watch as is his getting into EVERY song...

I have been one of them. Toronto in 2008, I spent most of a night pressing 'Command-R' (that's F5 in Mac language), and by about 5:00am, got tired, and found an auto-refresh add-on for Firefox set to check for site changes every 30 seconds. Very aggravatingly, tickets went on sale at about 9:00am. Less aggravatingly, I was still there, and got four tickets in the pit. I then waited four hours to get in, and was standing with a shit-eating grin at the barrier in front of Thom Yorke for a few orgasmic hours.

And I was thinking it was my computer! It's truly fucked, simply dreadful that board of theirs. There's another site I'm on, but they're not overly friendly on it, and no-one ever replies to me. God knows why not. This board is way superior and the people on by and large on it are decent and friendly, at least willing to discuss things!

How do these shows compare vs. PJ shows? I'm going to see them in Seattle in a few weeks but I'm not a big fan of their's. I haven't been exposed to too many of their songs but I like the ones I know.

not sure how to answer this...they don't move on stage as much, but the energy is definitely there. they are a fantastic live band & Thom's voice sounds better than ever.

I'd say their light show's better than PJs, but not having yet seen them live I can't really comment. I do believe that RH mix up their setlists, to their credit, unlike some other bands. PJ probably play for a little longer which is going to be favourable over RH. Some people are gonna like PJ better, others Radiohead. I kind of think it's pointless comparing bands and their shows cos they're different and people like bands live for certain things, eg the warmth and banter you get from Eddie, compared with Thom Yorke's freaky dancing. Two totally different bands with different music, I love them both!

Back_Pedal

I have a feeling that I won't be seeing this band any time soon. Their show in Australia sold out within ten minutes of going on sale, I can only imagine how fast the tickets will sell once East Coast dates are announced.

I have a feeling we'll hear something about the NE USA very soon..... VERY SOON.
