where do you get tickets from?

Anyone else want to help me out?

yup it does its on constitution street. I used to work there back in the day...best job ever! shame about the pay

there was more to fopps troubles than just downloading music.

i'll try and fill out your questionnaire later when i'm not at work.

I know that. The point of the research is to look at the potential impact of downloading both legal and illegal on record stores i.e are people still buying CD's.

Thanks that would be great if you can:up:

Are you not supposed to have a form of a briefing, ie. what it's about and how all data will be kept confidential, blah, blah?

Yes. No names will be used in the dissertation and all data will be destroyed after it has been used

The title is how digital media has affected the way we consume music and the aim is to show how digital media has affected the way we consume music and whether this is damaging the music industry. I'm looking at it from the perspective of consumers who now have a much wider choice in how they access music, as well as the negative effects of downoading on record companies and record stores i.e Fopp.

Hey guys wondering if you can do me a huge favour and help with my dissertation by completing the below questionnaire. You can either copy and paste into a word document and email it to me at cottdotton@hotmail.com, PM me, or copy and paste and answer in this thread. Any discussion on the topic would also be welcome. Thanks

We are scientists new one should be out in March. After hearing some of the new stuff when I saw them supporting the Kaiserchiefs I can't wait!

1 ticket for sale, face value 16. please email cottdotton@hotmail.com if interested

cheers

Can anyone recomend a good freeview box? looking for something quite compact and between 20-30 quid. cheers

anyone know if their is stll tickets for this?

i know! this makes me very angry! I've been trying to get tickets for ages and they're so expensive. Most of the time its folk down in England selling them which is really annoying as they obviously just bought them to make a beasting profit. And another thing ticket face value is not 30 quid its more like 14.50 i think. SCAM!!!!

thread of the year!

awesome gig! cheers stephen! enjoyed all bands especially Kenetic! was completely blown away by them! Dopamine were awesome as always and played all my favourites so was chuffed...would have been good if they'd played a bit longer but all in all a fantastic night!

I really really want 2 tickets for the Kooks on the 15th Oct. Keeping an eye on ebay but not really wanting to spend any more than 20 quid per ticket. Not bothered bout sitting or standing, if anyone hears anything or has any tickets let me know cheers!

If you're looking to get a mortgage its better to have a lot of savings as opposed to a credit card. As long as you run your account well and have some savings, you should be able to get a mortgage.

i think hes horrendous

decent!!!!

you get the tickets buy going into a draw on the website. it starts at 8am tomorrow morning. hope I get tickets. would love to see yeah yeah yeahs, the kooks, editors, snow patrol, dirty pretty things and bloc party!

never imagined cloud to be a pink fan...weird! I used to love her rnb/hip hop stuff back in the day and just like a pill is quite the choooon but I don't think i'd pay like 30 quid to see her.

i voted for josh as his face featured on two of my friends breasts. thats a man with a plan.

which' date=' if you put in perspective...is a pound you spent too much.

and you have to ask yourself: "What did i do with that pound?" (maybe spent it on a drink in paramount - who knows)

but most importantly, know that banks cannot practice leniency in a profession where THE CUSTOMER expects THEIR MONEY to be dealt with 100% accuracy in the first place. the banks have to abide by a code of conduct which the customer signs to agree with when they open a new account, arrange an overdraft or take out a loan. these are the terms of condition that YOU have agreed to when getting an overdraft facility. that means you are solely responsible for your money management.

of course, there are instances when the banks make mistakes, but your situation isn't one of them.

sorry to sound so harsh, but that's how it is.

PS: just for good measure, here is an analogy: it's like when a guy goes out in december wearing a t-shirt, then complains that it's too cold. IT'S HIS OWN DAMN FAULT.[/quote']

totally agree with that. don't spend what you don't have. If you know you have a direct debit coming off your account make sure you have the money in it to cover it. It's as simple as that.

Surely people who get hit by charges the first time should be more careful in future with the running of their account?

awesome!!!!

ha ha there was a giant snow cock in the carpark of the flats at mealmarket. Made my day:up:
