Liam Gallagher

Have to use internet explorer at work and the buy tickets button just didn't appear on my screen. I checked on my phone and it worked on there but by then it was too late. Fingers crossed for Friday. Won't be using my work PC or ticketmaster!

My clock hit 9am and I had to refresh again until the buying option came through right at the bottom of the page. All I could see upto then was an 'access code' box thing. I was using Firefox.

Yeah I refreshed it 3 or 4 times and still no buying option appeared on the PC. Worked instantly on my phone, but that was at 9.03am and I think they were all gone by that point. I'll steer clear of ticketmaster on Friday, always seem to be issues with it.

Sold out in seconds i see, reckon he'll add the Saturday?

[sisco]

Got mine at about 9.20 on See Tickets.  (Although they were more expensive than Live Nation)

He can’t add the Saturday because that’s Communtiy Festival.

[sisco]

And they’ve still got them on See Tickets too

[Hugh Jass]

Just had a look at See, not buying just curious and they are still on sale.

What got me is that face value is £52.50, then there's six quid in the usual bullshit per ticket then there's a £6.50 transaction fee for fucking postage!!!

That bumps a £52.50 ticket up to £65 (I know the transaction fee is a one off, but that's still a massive hike).

[eFestivals]

tis sold out now.

nah, tickets were still available about ten minutes before I posted that.

I've checked a few times this morning, so I know they were still available on frontgatetickets (the main outlet).

This is going to turn him into a main festival headliner fair quick. Not paying £65 though considering I'm more interested in Ashcroft as potential support which he doesn't need now given it's sold.

Well I’m going, not sure of the size of the support acts he’ll have.  Seems to start at about 3 though so he’s going to need at least 4 before him!  

Blossoms would be the obvious guess I suppose.

Struggling to think who would want him. V?

[Homer]

Appropriately enough.

Fri - Liam Gallagher

Sat - Depeche Mode

Sun - Some other vintage act (Bon Jovi are about apparently)

Suppose it would sell

[Matt42]

He's pulled this solo career off almost perfectly

Can't believe I was one of those criticising his booking for R&L, he's a festival headliner now

He’s certainly done the sensible thing by including at least 50% oasis songs.

Impressed with his new album tbf too

Yeah it's funny how we laugh at their bookings when they're announced and they almost always seem justified by the time the festival comes around. Same with BMTH subbing Metallica in 2015 and Royal Blood 3rd down the same day.

Not always though. Bugg especially and Macklemore would be nowhere near subbing nowadays, and Blossoms so high is still a shiter

Liam and BMTH subbing were made with the hindsight of them taking off massively, which paid off. Bugg and Macklemore were made with the assumption that their flash in the pan rises would continue onwards, which they did not. Bugg has somehow managed to stay far more popular than I thought he would though.

[the wonderwhy]

I can't see him at IOW with a London gig already announced, sold out or not. Reckon he'll do TRNSMT and he's bound to do a Manchester show, then can mop up the fests that'll have him (IOW) year after.

Yeah, like it or not R&L and still pretty much the best festival for taking punts on people all over the bill. The hits mean they get away with the misses. 

[Guest]

He should ask Noel to support him.

[Homer]

Bestival get away with this a bit (Crystal Castles subbing the main stage/The Cure!).

[Homer]

If the three releases are anything to go by, I'm struggling as to why he's selling so well.
