I'm leaving this topic to "only the few lucky people"

This has nothing to do with luck. The pre-sale was open for hours. Either you can afford it (and have the opportunity) or you don't. That's how things work.

Distance has nothing to do with it, i'm flying in from Norway.

i'm camping with Ceadog, Letterbomb92 & her friend and probably Dirty Rotten Bastard, too! :) plus others who are turning up early in the morning. we'll be curled up in a small ball at the front of the queue regretting every decision we made that led to us camping out.. again :P

I'm camping too! ;)

was that really necessary? :shy: no one said you had to leave, just stop throwing a piddly fit over things that in reality, aren't that big a deal. they'll go to Italy on their next tour, you can see them then.

Wicked cant wait now wanna meet everyone :D

see, exactly this. people are coming in from all over, it's nothing to do with distance. it's a case of if you have money or not which has nothing to do with luck, either. that's down to your job or your parents.

YAY hopefully i'll see you there! we may be wearing the same shirt, too :P also pizza. lots of pizza. :ninja:

it's gunna be awesome :D

plus, they have done similar stuff in other countries, too. it's not just England that gets this. other places have to, to my knowledge. the demand for these kinds of shows is here, majorly, where-as it may not be as prominent in other countries. thats why they come here and do these shows.

Yeah, I mean I feel very lucky that they've played more small shows here than in most other countries, and I hope they play more small shows in more different countries in future so that more people can see them. But it'd just be unrealistic and chaotic to try and make a small secret show international by announcing it really far in advance, if they want to play small shows they have to limit the numbers somehow. Plus they usually plan them really late too so probably most of the time they don't even know about it that far in advance.

yeah definitely. the idea of small shows & making them last minute is for an intimate atmosphere, a less chaotic experience for all & no months & months of trying to get tickets, it's a case of "do you have money right here, right now?" yes? great, of you go. no? shame, maybe next time. it's a much simpler experience. yeah, it's stressful as we can see from this thread alone but i've found it so much nicer.

also is she really still bitching i don't get it why is she bothering? :ermm:

Stop trying to start mass discussions on fairness of gigs. Sorry you can't go go but we will put pics etc up for you after the show!

On a side note...Italy had a secret show this tour + numerous others as part of the main tour (3 was it?)

Let's not be nasty to each other please. Some people happen to be able to go and some people don't, there's no reason for anyone to bitch at each other over it.


also is she really still bitching i don't get it why is she bothering? :ermm:

Well I have to say it's alright to feel disappointed if you want to go to something and can't, it's easy for people who are going to be more rational about it.

Who fucking know about the secret show?

Hey look it's OK to feel annoyed that you're not going, I think all most of us are trying to do is explain why the situation is the way it is. I think everyone's said everything that needs to be said about it now.

yeah i get feeling annoyed/upset over it but posting repetitive posts over it while others are trying to be excited over it does no one any favours :lol: i just don't get why people need to be so miserable over it. i get it sucks, i've missed many GD shows because of money so i know how it feels but goddamn.

I'm especially laughing at all the people from the UK who are complaining about it. You guys have no idea how good you have it, seriously.

This gets me every single time. Sure if you really can't because of other commitments then yeah it sucks, but if you have the time/money to get hold of then there's nothing stopping you. We are extremely lucky with the amount of public transport that runs cheap around the country

No disrespect, but Italy had probably the most last minute secret show of this tour when Green Day opened for Prima Donna.

Italy also got 4 shows on this tour to make up for previous times. I can see how this may be frustrating, but we can't all have everything.

There hasn't been a single Irish date this year, and still none announced. Italy got 4 big shows and a secret show. So kindly fuck off.
