It' great to hear these fantastic stories coming in from Hamburg - can't wait to fly out to join the action on Saturday... even more so now I've heard what songs they are rehearsing. I promised myself I wouldn't check IORR before the gig but couldn't help it.

It's not exactly subtle it is... and in my opinion it is in bad taste. I mean I think it is one thing taking a pop at Keith for slagging off Sgt. Peppers, but the 'falling out of a tree' was hardly a 'trick' or showmanship - it had serious consequences... Smacks of a publicity stunt in itself tbh. Poor lyrics, poor taste, poor song.

Quotelatvianinexile The latest marketing trick Please use Google translate to understand what this is about. Well they say you should never meet your idols so I guess no one here should apply for this... that said I thought it would be more than £2000 for two people to actually meet the stones and go to the concert. That's £1000 each, which I think, although obviously a lot of money
Forum: Tell Me

With the stones I have no problem with the length of the show - 2 hours is plenty. But, I do think they could use that time a little bit better. For example, if you could take at least one-minute off each of the extended versions of Miss You, Satisfaction, JJ Flash, Tumbling Dice, Sympathy, Gimme Shelter and Brown Sugar they could use that extra time to play two bonus songs... e.g. for this t

Quotegotdablouse Can't see any VIP packages available on the FNAC website here : ? I got mine today through event travel but I think you need a link from their newsletter...when I booked this morning it said they had 7 pit tickets left for Paris 25th in the 'start Me up' package

I have just taken the hit and gone for a VIP Start Me Up Package for Paris 3. I really wanted to be in the Pit for at least one gig this tour so I went for it. Expensive, but hopefully worth it....

Ok - I will take it. I will message you in the morning if that's OK and sort out payment with you, Is the e-mail correct on your profile... edna.million? Grant

Hi Syrel, I can't do Dusseldorf, but Munich is a little tempting, is the place still up for grabs? Grant
Forum: Ticket Trader

Yeah, I think to be honest the reasoning is fairly simple, they are going to play the UK next summer at the end of a mini-run of shows that may well be the last shows ever. They will probably play a big London venue (Hyde park, wembley etc.) for a couple of shows, so to ensure they fill out both gigs they won't play there this year... because even though most people on this board would jump
Forum: Tell Me

Exactly what I was thinking regard Paris.. it would almost be rude to not stick around for show 3... I keep looking at the Pit Ticket VIP packages but can't quite bring myself to drop that much on it... maybe give a few months and decide then!
Forum: Tell Me

I have got tickets for Barcelona, Paris 1 and Paris 2 so far... all Fosse Or/Pista A standing for face value... Still toying with Amsterdam and Paris 3 - might just decide later if I want to bite the bullet on the secondary ticket market for them... These will be shows 9, 10, and 11 for me at the 'old age' of 26!
Forum: Tell Me

When i was buying tickets through ticketmaster.fr I had a screen come up telling me how many tickets were left (I don't know whether everyone got this or it was an error?) For instance on the wednesday 25th show it was showing 0 tickets for fosse or and catergory 4... obvs this tactic is to force people to 'upgrade' when they panic that none are left - I know we all knew this wa
Forum: Tell Me

It's really refreshing to see a venue/promoter try to tackle the resale market at some level. Hopefully in the future other venues/promoters will follow the procedures in place at the Barca gig and get names put on tickets to limit the viagogo/stubhub rip-off sites

Same here... I have 3 devices on the go... 2 of them I'm not even in the virtual queue yet! One says I have a 9 min wait...
Forum: Tell Me

Wild speculation here but... if you see the Paris thread there is talk of a third gig at the U Arena. Someone quotes an e-mail saying this will be on the 16th December, but that doesn't make sense since its 2 months after the tour finishes? So what if it was a misprint and they actually meant 16th OCTOBER not 16th December. This means they play Arnhem 15th and then Paris 16th.. I kno

Yes, also got the link after the mess-up last week. Managed to get Fosse OR for the 22nd, and then went for a few cheap Fosse tickets for the 19th. Just the fun of sorting flights and hotels now!

This one worked a lot smoother than all the other presales for me. 2 x Standing (A), Looking forward to Barcelona... Probably going to be the most lively crowd on the tour?
Forum: Tell Me

Can't wait for the presale - I mean all the others have been so easy so far(!) What could possibly go wrong...
Forum: Tell Me

I also had pit tickets for 22nd but then received the dreaded email. I haven't read all the terms and conditions of the ticket but can they actually cancel it like this? Isn't there any law about honouring the contract?

Hi everyone, I went to see the Who yesterday and I just wondered what you all thought? (Aside from the fact that hyde park sound was still very inconsistent/quiet if you were a fair way back). I thought johnny marr was decent - where I was his set went down really well - lots of sing a longs. Then kaiser chiefs - who, for me, were impressive to say the other acts has decades of experience on t
Forum: Tell Me

I think periscope has helped a lot because people can watch the show and so can see that the band are on form! I think some people find it easy to criticise the setlist when all they see is the songs on paper at the end of the gig - they can say "oh its the same songs again and again". But with periscope, when you actually see the songs live - see Keith hit the riffs hard, noti

Just watched the show on Debbie's periscope from the replay button. Looked a great setlist - i think there's going to be a few great pictures of Micks 'panic' face from this gig - Charlie on JJ Flash and the start of HTW had a few problems - I can only imagine the look on Micks face!
Forum: Tell Me

Yea - I've gotta say it seems like it really did throw mick out - he just couldn't find the melody all the way through - I felt really awkward watching him battle to find the key of the song... I think he did the same with GOMC in one of the shows down under - and I'm not sure it's been played since! Not suggesting that will happen with satisfaction though!

Faraway eyes from last night... Found on YouTube ... Complete with Micks joke about not stereotyping country music before the song!
