I went, I ran from home at 11.30, got in q, spent half hour qing and then asked someone the price. I couldnt afford £19.50. Absolute joke of a price, I go to Summer Sundae for a day at £25. A Joke! They charged £5 at Sheffield Leadmill on Saturday for a similar thing. Joke! So fecking angry! I was bound to get a ticket aswell, bound!

they sold out within the hour aparently

they sold out within the hour aparently

It was about 12.50pm when I left. I was fairly sure I was going to get a ticket. I was there at 12.15pm, they had 1300 tickets left from then. I'd actually like it to be sold out before I would have got there. The 4 cnuts in front were doing my nerves, silly feckers with the mental age of a 11 yr old, 'I am gonna sell mine for 30 quid and stay outside till it starts touting' and then they would play some silly game.

I posted a couple of very good quality youtube clips earlier on 'What Listening To' Thread. Their new single Brainstorm is expected to get some airplay soon.

Of course people went, it wasn't that much of a secret that no one knew about it :icon_roll

I always think the "secret" gigs are a little pretentious if announced a few hours before, they are designed purely to boost the band's egos by creating hysteria.

If you want to know what a real secret gig is check this:

One of my bezzy mates and his mrs were in Norwich for the weekend as her parents live there. There was a gig at the local pub by a band called "The Nodding Donkeys", they went there for the night and they certainly didn't expect to find Iron Maiden playing!!!

Now that's a non pretentious "true" secret gig where the artists are doing it purely to play music not create hype.

It wasnt a secret gig really considering that they announced the night before.

There's expected to be loads of these 'secret gigs' across the country. Morecambe's rumoured to be next.

The Stone Roses used to do proper secret gigs. They'd just hire a warehouse for a night and start playing.

About 3 years ago Franz Ferdinand did a secret gig at the Brudenell Socail Club here in Leeds and that was great. I found out about it via my contact at the NME and because I worked at the Uni, the word got round like wild fire - needless to say it was packed to the rafters.

From what I have heard, the new singles is very 'dance'. Almost Klaxons like.
