Robert Plant and his son Logan were definitely, because I saw them go in. Not sure about the others but it sounds likely.

I never heard that Townshend was there, as much as I was hoping for him to guest on something, anything!!
Kelly Jones was there and so was Plant and son.
As for buying from touts, there were loads of stolen tickets being sold outside the Astoria. There was a list of the ticket numbers and those tickets were not allowed entry. So BE CAREFUL!!
I only saw Robert Plant at the Astoria from my naked eye but could not see any one else apart from that funny Scottish guy lifting his Kilt. That was so funny.

Aww, I'm really sorry to hear that. Hopefully something will work out. Remember there were 50 tix on the door at the Astoria.
I know, i probably will head down anyway...rick always seems to have luck in the queues, I might try his tact!!![/quote]
Has anyone ever bought a ticket from a tout outside the venue on the day and got in to the concert with it ok? I am severely tempted but scared I'll spend the money and won't get in if the ticket is fake.
Advice welcome! After missing out on the Astoria, 10c lottery, HMV pre-sale and now HMV general sale I am desperate![/quote]
Don't over pay for a ticket. Go to the venue on the day, there will be tickets released at show time. If Astoria got 50, then there might be close to 100 for this one. Shepherd Bush isn't that small.

I've done that a few times, back in the days before Ebay scumbags when that was how touts operated. What a halcyon, sepia-tinted world that seems now... at least the bloodsuckers had to make SOME effort in order to make their profits in those days. Never had a problem personally, but as has been said elsewhere people who paid lots of money for Astoria tickets in 2006 were turned away because the tickets were stolen. At least outside the venue you can compare the ticket you're offered to someone else's legit one. Wouldn't have helped with the Astoria situation, I don't think, but should help you avoid buying a fake.

I spoke to Kelly Jones afterwards at the royal george pub. Apparently he's a fan.
That was hilarious! I remember Fraser and Neil were doing that to the cab's in the queue aswell.
The touts outside the Astoria were selling them for insane amounts, and then people got turned away. One guy actually got into a fight with a tout that sold him a dud ticket. Personally I don't think I'd chance it. I've never bought a ticket over face value because I hate touting so much, but if I were desperate I'd probably go to Getmein, just because they are owned by Ticketmaster and if anything goes wrong at least you'd get a refund.

sorry you didnt get tickets though amigo... at least we've got a couple of shows to look forward to.
and a beer or two... while we beat the shit out of Al for gloating too much...
Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?
The new HMV sale seems to be sold out already I think. I managed to get two level 3's though! Glad I didn't pay any stupid money this morning like I was tempted to.

well, my old link doesn't work... wonder if i shouldn't have cancelled my order...!

This whole day has been shit, my nerves can't stand it. Am thinking of trying the venue on the day but that might make me more depressed if I can't get in.
I was thinking earlier how being kicked in the balls three times this week just wasn't enough. How nice of HMV to deliver a fourth boot to the swingers. :evil:
