    i think their hype has died down a bit but who knows if if it'll sell out fast. it probably will. i couldnt believe kings of leon sold out two gigs not too mention selling them out so fast.
    you gowl!

    Those tickets will fly out. Especially since they've released another album since their last gig here.

    yep the girlfriend had a ticket for one of the olympia gigs and said it was great. thing is shes not too bothered about going to see them again now.
    (she likes to see a band once - i like to see them over and over again if theyre good enough ie foo fighters - we're at loggerheads over that one too!)

    so the question we all need answering is will all those who saw them only a few months back go see them again?

    plus theres gonna be apile of gigs on and around that gig as well like ian brown etc...that might take from the ticket sales?
    you gowl!

    Gutted.
    Really gutted.
    Was a delayed (ie overdue) birthday present for the girlf. About 6 or 7 ahead of me in the queue but it was the credit cards that knackered us.
    Needless to say I'll sexually satisfy anyone who can help me out on this one.

    I had the tickets but the laptop wouldn't allow me to proceed as it wasn't a secure page...

    Haven't heard from my mate about them yet, so either he got them and went back to bed, or else didn't get them. I'm hoping he would have texted if he didn't get them, but it's probably a blind hope

    I saw them at Electric Picnic two years back and they were easily the second best band there. Might sound like a slight on them, until you hear that Kraftwerk were number one

    All for the intimate gigs but maybe they should have just played a bigger venue.
    The demand was obviously going to be there for a second gig. It sounds like there could have been even less than the 10,000 rumoured.
    Is there any chance they could be pulling some scheme of staggered ticket selling such as I've heard now occurs with that Witness circus?

    Faithful Risteard versus Win Butler.

    Its a tough one.

    Wait in line . . . . . . . . . . . to be shafted.

    Ian Brown is playing the big top aswell and there's only 5,000 tickets for it so that might be the problem there alright.
