Foo Fighters

Seemed very busy this morning! Managed to bag tickets at 20 past but a lot of refreshing needed...doesn't help they put the presale code on Facebook!

it was almost like it didn't start working until quarter past

...doesn't help they put the presale code on Facebook!

i think daughter got it on email and twitter

Got in relatively quickly for tickets for Murrayfield, friends had a lot of bother getting through though, don't see it being any easier on Friday either

Getting in was a nightmare but there's still tickets available so it must just have been a rush at the start. I got pitch standing at Old Trafford. What I don't get is why people willingly pay £15-20 more to sit at the back for a gig like this? Presumably all them seats will be taken up by all the new breed of Foos fans who only know the words to 'Best of You'? (hands down their worst, yet strangely most popular, song).

it's for the young scenesters who do that slow clap thing to every song so it doesn't matter if they can't hear anything. Conversely this also suits the real old people who can't hear anything anyway but can easily join in clapping, it's less on the hips and knees than Mexican waves

Can someone pm me the presale code?I don't have Facebook.

[Monkismo]

It's HIGHWAYS

[metallimuse]

For what site?Nothing coming up on ticketmaster.

Ha ha, at least they're doing the right thing by charging less to the people who actually want to jump up and down enjoying themselves and who want to get there early enough to get a decent spot. For the money they're asking to sit at Wembley I'd expect all my drinks to be brought directly to my seat.

[metallimuse]

Can only get level 5,think I'll wait.

[metallimuse]

Oh wait that link has standing thank you!

[CaledonianGonzo]

There'll be less abled people who probably prefer sitting at gigs.

[TheBoz]

Got 2 standing tickets for Wembley Saturday for my dad and sister. Frustrating at the start with the site crashing but a bit of refreshing and all sorted by 9:10.

£75 each though is steep. I'll be seeing them at Pinkpop and most likely Glasto anyway

Old Trafford cricket ground is probably one of the worst venues I've ever been to for poor sound quality and facilities.

Think the last time I went was for kings of leon (when they were half decent) I spent a good 45 mins at the bar each time I fancied a bit of liquid refreshment.

[metallimuse]

Got two for Friday standing.

I had exactly the same problem at Arctic Monkeys but that was in 2007 so hopefully it's got better since. We were at the bar for over an hour even though there was only about 6 people in front and the toilet queues weren't much better. I always sneak in a hip flask in my pants now anyway.

US tour announced from July 4th (This was known)

Potential TITP hole in the dates but that must surely be for a US festival? no chance they would fly back just for T would they?

Nailed on in my opinion now

[Slugworth]

My brother paid £125 each through Viagogo. Standing. Disgusting really but that's for another thread.

[Stu H]

Got standing for Wembley.

Fleetwood Mac, Foos, Glastonbury on consecutive weeks. FML.

Did he not think of waiting for the main sale Friday

Why?! Just get standing tickets in the general sale on Friday!

[cdm22]

£77 inc fees and postage is way too much for me. I think i'll just stick to remembering the Islington gig a couple of months ago (and Leeds festival in 2012)

[russycarps]

imagine paying 75 quid to see the foo fighters!

fucking hell.
