Rob Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 glad to see them playing back at the academy rather than the secc. Their academy show was so much better than the secc one. can't decide which show to go to though. probably see the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

french_disko Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 fuck it, I give up - keep getting an error page after hitting "Place your order". Can't be arsed with this. I've either got 10 tickets for the Sunday night or none at all. My money is on none but I'll check my bank account next week to find out.

Rob Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 oh! i didn't find it that bad. but i've been amazing at getting tickets this year. managed to get u2, glastonbury and oasis tickets for the small club tour they did in May. Also got T in the Park and Reading tickets for my friends long after they had sold out and it was by using official ticket places not ebay. I'm looking for bigger challenges now like Pink Floyd playing the lemon tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had all sections printed on my ticket for different gigs, but you enter through the same door and have access to the upper bit (with the bar) and can go right down to the floor to see the "whites" of their eyes.Just don't throw a shoe at Jack like some tosser did when I saw the at the SECC last year...............Enjoy the gig. I'm sure they'll be brillinat. Gutted i'm missing it, but it's my own fault for getting married next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydoll Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Just don't throw a shoe at Jack like some tosser did when I saw the at the SECC last year...............Some arsehole tried to throw his jacket at Tom Morello when I went to see Audioslave earlier in the year.

Metarie Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Whee! Lots of things coming up that I want to see now. Think I'll go for the sunday night too, it's about a week before my birthday so that's groovy. They put on such an amazing show when I saw them in the SECC last year and I was blown away. Is the Academy better as a venue? Whaty kind of size is it, I've never been.Wonder who'll be supporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't let us into the main downstairs bit. The balcony was absolutly crap though so we had to blag our way in by complaining for like 20 mins before the show, they then swapped our tickets with guest passes. Thank god we managed because the show was amazing. It would have been crap up the balcony though. We managed to get right down the front where the crowd was going mental. The last song whe Jack played Seven Nation Army, it started with Jack playing teh first "A" note and the crowd just started up "Bam babam ba ba bam bam". Jack was just standing there kinda stuned.For some reason there was heaps of tranvestites dressed in red handing out CD's and selling buttons.

Sam 45 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I saw them on the Sunday night and they were fucking ace as usual. As usual i found tiny little things to moan about but thats just me. Wish they had played 'Jolene', thats probably my favourite song. Saw them twice in America this year as well.
