Just got my tickets in the pre-sale. Just hope there are some decent support bands at 50 quid a ticket!

    No Serj didn't do much for me either. I wonder why he went solo when his new stuff sounds virtually identical to SOAD?

    The GA tickets were showing up as sold out at one point, but they've gone back up as available again.

    I'm hoping the weather will be ok too. Silly thing to say, but I have memories of Aerosmith still in my head - it was supposed to be summer!!

    Whats with GigsNTours

    I got in a panic, couldn't connect for 20 mins, managed to get some tickets, then saw Sold Out on everything. Now everything is back on pre-sale.

    I notice the Foos website and board is out of action though.

    I'll be there (It's on my 21st and will be my 12th foo gig so I figured I should go for old times sake).

    I'm not going because I'm not really fond of stadium gigs, but...... I couldn't resist when I got home from work. Tried after 2pm and could have gotten standing tickets if I wanted. But I resisted....

    Face.. were you at the arena last week-end?

    Edit: Did I hear correctly? Central, circular revolving stage with 4 'runways'?

    I had to book another standing ticket this morning for one of my mates, I swear all of standing was sold out in about 3 minutes, crazy!

    I'm sticking with the one show too, I'm sure there won't be that much variance in the setlist. Plus I'm gonna try my best to get to the secret show!

    I'm hoping my secret show luck will hold out. You going to QOTSA?

    It's nuts that they are going to sell 180,000 tickets for two shows :o

    I don't do Stadium shows (exception for PJ because of the 10c tix..and even so, I'd rather they don't play Stadiums), hell, even Arena ones I avoid if I can.

    look for 2million tickets on ebay soon let alone couple of weeks before the gig..no way Foos have THAT many fans :rolleyes:

    and £50 for a gig where you need binoculars to see the stage?..

    Good job you don't have to go then :D

    I know Stadium isn't ideal for anyone but Dave loves those kind of shows and it gives him a thrill so you know you'll get a great performance.

    I approach this gig completely differently than a normal Foo gig. More like a day hanging out with friends listening to a few great bands. Dave has some good friends so the support should be pretty good (if I don't like any of the support acts I'll probably sell my ticket).

    I know at Hyde Park Juliette and the Licks were excellent though I'd never listened to them before, Angel and Airwaves weren't my thing so went and sat with friends and just chilled, QOTSA were great, Motorhead were entertaining and then we had the Foos.

    I'm sure I'll have a fun day :)

    That's correct, it'll be awash with tickets by now I'm sure....mind they do have a lot of fans, don't forget they are 'the acceptable face of rock music' as selected by the populist media.....Dave Grohl and his band are the housewives choice these days.
    Like you, I'll be giving it a wide berth.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    No I wanted to do QOTSA but I really need to stop spending money, so I've tried to cut back..
  • There's four of us going to the gig from n.ireland. We all love the foo's but its not like our pj love! i guess we're going to try and relive that amazing few days last june!! only difference is there won't be the pressure to get to the front row! we're lookin forward to a few days of relaxing , beer drinking, meeting new people and some great music.... hope to see some of you guys there!
