    Really looking forward to this. Always wanted to see Rob Zombie live. I'd say tickets will sell like hot cakes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,943 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Cannot fcukin wait for this, seen him first wit White Zombie back in '95 and seen him a few times since, but not for a good number of years.

    My only gripe with this gig is fcukin ticketbastaard again, i'm ok as have a good job and spare cash, but what about the average fan who's short of funds, or a student.

    They could so easily have announced this gig and said tickets would be on sale the 2nd week in January, not 2 days before fcukin Christmas

    I agree completely. Unemployed at the moment myself, and funds are tight, to say the least. I had to make quite a few phonecalls to try and rumage together some cash for this one.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,943 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭metzengerstein


    got mine also ,im glad im going to see him in england before hand incase the olympia turns out poxy as usual.

    the show looks amazing.been on my list of people to see for a few years .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Excellent, been dying to see this **** for years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    40 bills is a wee bit steep all right. I paid 30 and saw Waking the Cadaver (meh)/Macabre(wow)/Immolation(PANTS WETTENING!) and Napalm Death! (Ok I lie I left before ND).

    But still 30 for all those bands!

    Is it just him or is there any word on support? Would be WELL p*ssed off if I paid 40 for just him.

    I don't understand all the hatred for The Olympia, i fcukin love the venue.

    Not only that, in the UK he's playing Venues with a 5,000+ capacity, here it's 1,000. Makes it a bit more special to me. Also he's co-headlining Download, and to have a download co headliner playing our little Olympia is fcukin awesome.

    As for the bitchin about 40Euro to stand, you just can't please some people. If he hadn't bothered comin over then people would have moaned, now he is yer all just moaning about the price.

    If your a big fan and wanted to see him, how much to fly over to UK, hotels etc??

    But is it not taking advantage of the fans knowing that of course they'll be good zombies (heh) and pay that? I'm sure it's nothing to do with the band and it's the venue/promoter/etc. But it is steep. I mean I saw Amputated with Warpath and another support for a tenner. A freakin' tenner!

    Prostitute Disfigurement was a tenner too (and that was three bands on the bill as well).

    Well they haven't made their "middle aged" album if that's what you mean. OOOOooooooooooooh! :D

    Well said, I believe its a reasonable price (he's around & establised a long time) & delighted its on in The Olympia - i.e. small, intimate venue. Flight to Glasgow - 80 euro, ticket over 40, hotel 40 sterling, days holidays booked. Would have traded that in an instant to see him in Olympia instead. Cant see what the fuss is about.

    Forty quid for the Olympia...****in hell.....that's a rip off.

    Don't think I'll bother now.

    Think that'll be your loss

    For his Feb UK tour tickets are £33.50 which comes out at 39.50Euro, normally we pay a bit more here but this is right on the button.

    For someone like Zombie, who has hardly toured in recent years, i think 40 is a very fair price, and i'd rather pay 40 for the Olympia than 40 for the O2

    My ONLY gripe about the gig is that tickets went on sale 3 days before Christmas with hardly any notice

    Question... for the peeps that believe this is a rip off.

    What do you believe the price for a ticket should be?
