Manchester on october 14th - that'll do for me

Can't wait - this will be my first Rush gig...

Mushy

Is there some reason they dont come to Ireland? Yeah, I've no money, damn this anyway

Baggio

Mushy,
.......sorry for ya bud...but why would they come here?..look at the music scene here and the way boy bands and muppets like yer man on xfactor can sell out the point on several nights??!!..ffs..,.,,yet KISS who like em or hate em were one of the great live acts..couldnt sell more than 300 tickets at the point and had to cancel!?!..,..pity for some lads here but IM glad their not coming here...there too damm goood to play here...Im well glad to travel to see them...their the only band worth viewing anymore for me.

how bad would it be that such a band couldnt sell out here?...says much more about the music scene here rather than the bands themselves.

hope ya get sorted...ciao' amigo...Baggio....

It was listed as the 11th for a while but has been corrected.
Last time, we stayed at the Holiday Inn located in the NEC area, there's 2 more hotels there as well, anout 20 - 30 minutes walk from the Arena.
see you there.:cool:

Baggio

alway ,
...nice one...did it cost ya much to stay there?,and do you think its way too early to try and book a room there in the next week or two?

am in a slight quandry as NEC my bandmates would be great and as said with a place to sleep in for the night close by...veryy handy. on the other hand parents live in luton and if my bro was willing to pop down there from leicestershire,,,well i could spend maybe 4 days with parents and get to the show in ye old tried and trusted way at wembley arena...must give both some thought for a couple of days.....will see them either way thats for sure

ciao' amigo..Baggio....

galwayrush

Book now, there will be 12,000 plus people there.;)
I'll have to miss the first three gigs as a compromise to wife, she wasn't impressed with me gone got 17 days,:eek: so 4 UK and two Dutch shows for me.:cool:

Gingemiester

Galwayrush, whats the best way to get Dutch tickets, and if you dont mind.... What did you pay for them, in euro.


Cheers

I got 09 Oct. - 3rd row center!!
and on the 10th - 18th row watching Geddy.

Baggio

Galway/Lads,
...how did you manage to book the tickets so early??..was onto NEC earlier today but queing on fone bla bla to UK became tooo annoying...or is that the ONLY way to do it?..also in the presale are the seats in goood sections or just a few seats here and there and the other seats still up for grabs?..any info appreciated...my 4 bandmates and another pal are going over with me and am trying to get a decent viewing spot...dont really wanna be too far back if on ground level,,,rather be up on the side myself...better view etc...but the boys seem keen on standing on floor level...is NEC all seating??

all info much appreciated...ciao'...Baggio....

I phoned in the ticketline at 08:40 and the woman told me to call back. I called at 09:00 sharp (using the atomic clock even), but then I got the %$!!ck$ message: "We are experiencing heavy load on our call centres, please call back again or book online...blah blah blah".

I was using 3 phones (calling tickenline, the wembley phone# and ticketmaster...all busy) and internet, when finally this URL had links to book tickets (around 09:20am) online.

you can choose the section, but it is up to the Gods what row you get. I got lucky I guess to get the 3rd row @ Wembley.

I was soo panicky that I actually bought a 3rd ticket for the 10th - Section A2, row 22, just to be safe.

Kiss had to cancel here? I'm really showing my youth here, I'd have been too young for that. When did that happen?

Rush should play somewhere like the ******* over here, if not somewhere smaller. Would be so intimate and so damn rocking it doesnt bear thinking about.
