Hasn't moved in 10min, I'm guessing sold out.

 

Reddit quote of the day 'Luigi shot the wrong CEO'.

 

Gonna be a stadium full of solo travellers, people securing two tickets seem to be a minority.

 

Let's see what the re-sale throws up....

There is a strong chance that by July, some of the attendees (like Ozzy) will to too infirm to get there so will have to sell on!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Even if Ozzy can't perform and is just there to get his props I don't think it would really matter all that much.  It's an all day celebration, not a straightforward gig.

[Nice hymer]

I got a ticket, I GOT A TICKET!!!!, we're not together but that's two in the bag. Unbelievable Geoff...

 

And this was only £240. So that's two for seven hundred, I can absolutely live with that...

Part of a group of 14 that has been trying all week. 2 got lucky in the 02 sale but nothing else. 

 

So, we are going to organise a party on the 5th July and watch the live stream. There will be a live stream, right???

i really don't understand what happened then?

 

i had TM open in the background, forgot about it, made a coffee, got back to my desk and thought oh yeah Sabbath tix - went back to the TM screen and it was just there - screen was open and everything was available.

 

not trying to be a d*ck to all you guys that are trying, honestly, just weird thats what happened.

 

Yes, exact same thing happened to me. Had tab open, forgot about it, remembered at like 1001, page had gone straight through, all standing options available, seats were all blue but were actually quite limited. Made it to checkout with 2 standing tickets, quickly changed my mind (various things - cost, distance, accommodation, already have a lot on around then) and released them fishies back into the pond.

 

Totally confused too!

I’m sure there will be. They will want to max out the money that they raise for themselves /charities

 

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye, I'll be shocked if it isn't recorded for a subsequent cinema release at the very least.

[balti-pie]

Would be quite happy to chuck £20 or £30 at a live feed for the day, with the proviso of at least some of it going to charity

 

(and Birmingham Children's Hospital is a charity i've previously helped raise money for too, its a brilliant facility - my pal walked from Eastbourne (where he was born) to Stoke (where he lived) and raised £28k for Stoke and Birmingham children's hospitals a couple of years back - i did the first eighty odd miles with him)

Black Sabbath with be the worst act of the day for sure, I’m pretty sure 99.9% of the people going realise that.

There’s a lot of other vocalists there who may well come out and do some vocals for / with him 

[GhostOfMaurice]

Oh yeah, Ozzy will be absolute bobbins for sure.

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, he won't be in good nick.

 

But the shape of the occasion should make it a very moving one.

Rollins has got to be on the rota otherwise it won't be a bingo full house 

[Muppetmark]

Managed to get a pair for 398 total. So happy im going

[Superscally]

I don't think I've ever been so psyched for a gig, for that to drop to literally not arsed by the time the sale came around. 😅  Fontaines at Finsbury gig of the day on July 5th 😘

[Muppetmark]

Birmingham council are in talks to have fanzones with screens for it

OZZY OSBOURNE Will Only Do 'Little Bits And Pieces' With BLACK SABBATH At Farewell Concert

 

[Karlos12345]

At the induction into the RnRHoF he was capable to scream „All aboooooooard!“

 

Does count as bits and pieces doesn‘t it?

Its not even a Sabbath song. Will they even do it?

 

Been going through some early Sabbath. Love this. Version without the modded vocals

 

 

 

[Euphoricape]

They were incredible in the early days

There’s supposedly an Ozzy performance before the full Sabbath performance.

Yeah, but he ain’t gonna be able to do the dance routine that goes with the song…

 

 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Just loved the shuddering bombastic ear shattering riffs that were created by Tony Iommi, supported by Bill Wards drumming and Geezers pounding bass in the early 70s. You just waited in anticipation of Ozzy starting the vocals. 

Live back then they were unmatched by any other band though many attempted to copy. 

[49Lawson]

Guns N Roses, Tool and Rival Sons been added already. If anyone decides that they want to part with their ticket to this, just give me a shout haha
