They would hardly let people buy the album to get the pre sale code to buy tickets off a dodgy company.

Mushy

Crowdsurge is often used in UK

blahfckingblah

yea crowdsurge is legit, thats where the presale from the rhcp official site redirected to, probably used as they could sell their album on it aswell to run their promotion. funny the concert had 3 seperate official presales (o2 ,mcd, rhcp official site)

I was reading on Fleas twitter page that they will be adding a few more songs from the new album once it comes out this month. But I really like that setlist esp Higher Ground and Sir Psycho Sexy

Jimmy Iovine

Great to see Higher Ground there. Would love to hear that played. Always takes me back to when I was younger and it was played at the start of the Power Rangers film. Still one of the greatest films of all time in my mind

for antony who got their tickets through crowdsurge, when are tickets posted out?

From experience usually 7-10 days prior to concert. However, I wouldn't be surprised if tickets weren't posted out and instead you were told the tickets will be made available for collection at box office on the night of the concert.

Suggest you all read the arcade fire thread on crowdsurge and don't hold your breath..

Nothing. Not everybodt had reveived their tickets for the gig via mail. It was during the snow and they were afraid of counterfit tickets so cancelled all the crowdsurge tickets sent out by mail and people had to collect them from the box office. It has little to no relevance for this gig except it shows people that Crowdsurge are legit.

It shows that they had 4 months to send the tickets but didnt, they waited until 5 days before the event. Then it started snowing, but they sent out numerous emails that everything was ok and everyone will get their tickets on time.

Then they lost track of which were sent, lost, or not sent at all. Their solution was to cancel ALL standing tickets, so that and even the tickets that were DELIVERED and received and in-hand were voided.

So the bizarre situation on the night was that even with a ticket, I had to que at the box office to get in, which after the giant f*ck up was complete mayhem (people over an hour queing in the snow, despite having a ticket in their hand)

:rolleyes:

Ah its not unusual to send out the tickets that late. Sure I am going to V festival on Friday and have not received my ticket yet. Sent an email and was told it will be sent out on time and then 20 minutes later got another email saying it was too late to send tickets out and to collect them at the box office. I just want my postage back!!!!

But in fairness that is a terrible service. When I buy tickets I am given a choice whether I want to collect them at the box office or whether I want them delivered by post. If I choose the later and pay for postage I expect that to be honoured.

To the above poster Im assuming you purchased your tickets off one of the UK sites like seeTickets? Again from experience they rarely post out any tickets to international buyers even though they will happily charge you for postage. Then closer to the event they will just say tickets will be made available at the box office.

Whatever people might say about Ticketmaster at least you know that if you choose the postage option your tickets will actually be posted and from experience usually well before the concert date.

I agree its a terrible service but its what you live with.

Yeah I used seetickets and from experience they dont post tickets which is annoying. Ticketmaster.co.uk did for the two gigs (kings of leon and the Killers) but again a friend ordered off them for V festival and he has to collect from the Box Office as well.

But anyway, we know how bad Crowdsurge are but they are legit. Back to the rhcp talk.

I would like to ask if there are any tickets left for this show. Because I can't seem to find any in Ticketmaster.com and if so where can I find tickets?

Tickets sold out in 30 seconds on the morning of general sale.

But keep a listen out, there may be a few production tickets released a few days before the concert.

Darn. Do you any other ways? Because I live in Kuwait and I need to get my tickets sort out by the end of the month.

Thanks.

Here's a video of By The Way from the concert in Hong Kong. You wouldn't want to suffer from epilepsy anyway or you'd be completely fúcked. My excitement increases with every new video I see

I don't think so. Usually you can buy second hand tickets on Ebay but the RHCP set down a few regulations for this tour that you use I.D when you purchase first hand tickets, so only the person who bought the ticket on the day is allowed admission. But if you could have some time next summer free they might be playing Slane of Oxegen again and more than likely tickets will go on sale before christmas.

Has anyone seen them in this kind of venue before?

What was it like?

This will be my first Chili Peppers gig so I can't really comment on past shows.

But what I will tell you is this. Ever since Californication the Chili's have played a stadium, festival or castle any time they came to Ireland.

The last time they played anywhere indoors over here was the Point in 1995 on the One Hot Minute Tour.

But I'd imagine it will be a really good gig. For Anthony's voice it will be immense for them to try an arena rather than a stadium.

There will be no telling really until the time comes but thats just my opinion. Otherside would really light up everyone's night so let's just hope it will be included on the setlist.

MadYaker

Last time I saw them here was in the Phoenix Park. Id like to hear some old tracks too and the setlists people have posted here are good but Flea said on twitter that they are trying not to play much new stuff before the album is released. After its release their setlists will change.

its not really the Chillis without Fursciante!

Yes it is. Im going to really miss the amazing backing vocals from him but I think they will still perform as good as they always have. I hope everyone gives the new lad a good reception.


My tickets stilled haven't arrived, any idea's on when they will? Id really rather not wait for them to arrive 7 days before the gig.

Won't arrive for a good 6 weeks I'd say.

Flea will be playing Vicar Street on November 1st with Damon Albarn in a group known as Honest Jon’s Chop Up.
