yer RATM got back together, had a hug n all that. but i mean, have they done anything good since the first 2 albums? no. no they havent.

pumpkins are past it one of THE great bands of the 90s. The new album is pretty crappy. but they will be remembered for everything between Gish and Adore. And theres no D'arcy (or the chick that replaced her) or James anymore, just billy and heroin boy drummer.

I'll tell you something for nothing, the new Foo Fighters is awesome. I havent been a fan for years, they went shit, but fuck they are back in a totally rocking good way.

Anyone manage to get tix?

Posted by Teflon_Teapot on Sep-27-2007 00:53:

i am shattered they sold out in five minutes

only about the first five people got tickets where i tried to get them. might have to try ebay.

apparently in the city some people at the front of the queue were walking away with 20 tickets each. now if they are serious about stopping scalping (which they are not) they need to place a maximum on how many tickets you can purchase. i think a maximum of five tickets should be allowed.

it shits me when i miss out on tickets even though i wait there beforehand and then come home and there are tickets for sale on ebay for double the price.

it has been announced they are playing big day out though

Posted by kelsta on Sep-27-2007 01:18:

Lining up was the only chance of getting them, I only know one person who manged to get tix online.

ebay $ are ridiculous already I'm going to wait for BDO.

ticketek usually has a 4 ticket minumum-- a good policy: still doesn't seem to help, unless you're there 6 hrs early... but yeah, at least makes it harder for those scalping kvnts!

my friend managed to get a ticket online

dont you mean 4 ticket maximum? dont see how a 4 ticket minimum would discourage scalpers

just checked ebay they are selling at $500 per ticket

i lined up and was about 12th in line, only the first five people managed to get tickets where i was.

Posted by walter78 on Sep-27-2007 02:44:

reminds me of silverchair selling out in 3 mins in toronto - groups of middle-aged men lining up to buy the max amount of tix. availanle to sell on ebay. they are fucking ****s - the promoters of these gigs need to ban ebay online sales of these tix to avoid this bullshit. bring back the late 90s (offspring/everclear+silverchair all for $15) *drools

Posted by Teflon_Teapot on Sep-27-2007 02:49:

dont need to ban ebay because scalpers will always find a way to sell tickets.

they need to impose a maximum of 2 tickets per person. which means if you want to go to the concert you had better lineup.

i managed to grab two for their Sydney gig. They had a 6 ticket minimum online but still sold out with 10mins. was insane.. i think work's bandwidth got me over the line.

Posted by xmike on Sep-27-2007 11:18:

Check out the tickets already on ebay....there is no way people will actually pay some of the amounts already bidded...

im talking in hundreds of thousands...in fact millions.

im happy with seeing them at BDO...but if i were a disgruntled fan who had been waiting since 6am in the ticketek lines to NOT get a ticket...i would probably place fake bids too...

Posted by kelsta on Sep-27-2007 23:04:

I know people who lined up overnight and still didn't get tickets.. you can imagine how cranky they are

Apparently the outlet they were at didn't open the door till 5 past 9 and by the time the staff logged in the gig was sold out.

There's been 100+ tickets already on ebay, total rort.
