a6l6e6x Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Damn, would've loved a amex presale! £82.50 is fine, no complaints from the 10 guys I know who want to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettredmayne Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Not saying it is exclusive or only UK performance is interesting, any other festivals around tis date in the UK apart from Glastonbury that could book them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lharris92 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 capacity has to be about 25-30k then right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki says its 30k but thats for games, so you gotta take 1 side off and then add floor, so probably not too far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 If they played Glasto (highly doubt they will) I really don’t think they’d have that big of a crowd. They certainly wouldn’t be able to command a massive slot. At other UK festivals they played below headline at their peak. They’ve got a strong case to headline Reading in 2021 as R&L do have a history of giving bands of a certain genre a leg up. However, outside of their comfort zone they don’t really have the pull. This is probably why they pulled out of Coachella. They realised that it’s really not their scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think they should stick to doing their own shows until they get an album out, see the interest, get their live show into a good gear and then show up at festivals.

sirjonnyp Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I have somehow ended up following a few MCR 'stans' (their word, not mine) over the years despite never liking the band and watching their reactions over the last few months has been one part heartening to two parts cringey. Heartening because it's great to see people's passion for music expressed, often creatively, and in a hardcore way about a band that for a long time didn't seem like they would be reuniting. Cringey because there's an oddly entitled view (long essays on why it is wrong that MCR held their reunion show in America, why airlines didn't do cheap flights for people in other parts of the world, how people should be tested on their fandom before being allocated a ticket (where have we heard that one before, right guys?) and very specific reasons why they should always be on the barrier) which is magnified by the horror of the social media platform. I think a lot of the fandem are going to go apeshit at a) the price of the early entry aka barrier tickets, b) the mad clamour for early entry tickets, c) the mad clamour for the regular tickets and then finally d) when a second show is announced. Good luck to everyone. Never going to be at glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Their fans do tend to be a bit young and aggressive on social media. You should have seen their reddit page when they were not on the Coachella lineup. Some accused Consequence of sound of “lying to them”.

Suprefan Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 The fanbase has had a lot of years to sit around and be bored off their heads with conspiracy theories and such. Nothing out of the ordinary. They also dont understand music politics and such in this current climate. Its really just perfect timing by them for a return. When they stopped there was a large group of people who never saw them live, plus people who were too young to go see them. They all grew up and have jobs now. Theyll be in Germany 6th of July. Which sets them up for Mad Cool pretty nicely. So yeah, unless announce a gig during glasto theyre very much in the conversation as possible.

Mouseboy11 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Started a new job and don’t get my first pay till Tuesday so missed out unfortunately, hoping there’s tickets going spare nearer the time or they get announced for Glasto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenelk Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) As @sirjonnyp predicted, second show added (also sold out). Got tickets for the 20th, edge taken off slightly by Booking.Com emailing me to say my walking distance hotel that I booked two weeks ago suddenly cannot honour my guaranteed booking....

Keithy Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Tbh, no matter how much I like a band, I ain't paying 82 quid to see them, especially as you'll be behind the golden circle lot. The further back you end up, you're essentially watching them on a screen. Absolutely rinsing the fans on a nostalgia trip imo. Each to their own though. If they were doing a whole day thing (like Oasis, Knebworth with first band at 2pm), I could be on aboard a bit more .... but 5:30pm doors opening.... that's 2 support bands, first at 7-7:30 Though sold out so just goes to show people will pay ridiculous prices.

At Slipknot I got to front, doesn’t really matter if you have early entry. I bought them cause I’m a mug and will pay ridiculous prices for a Stadium tour.

Can they do that? I'd be throwing a squinny regardless (they don't know that you no longer need it) to see if you can get some sort of compensation.
