I have the tickets I'm so happy😭😭😭😭😭😭😭I travelled from Chile just to see them on sunday man I'm so excited I'm about to cry hahaha

Sorry to everyone who tried and didn't get them. We'll have to have a "watch party" in this thread and hopefully can have some fun scouring the internet for videos!

I can't predict how it will be for Green Day's show. But I went to the Foo Fighters gig at the Metro back in 2017, which was also a Lollapalooza aftershow. I drove down to Chicago and arrived around 2-3 pm, and there were maybe 20-30 people lined up. Once they opened up the store for some of the merchandise, that line dwindled down to somewhere around or under 10! More people arrived over time, but a lot of those people just bought merchandise and left, which was really odd. There were a few people up front in the line that didn't even have tickets, but were openly offering people online hundreds of dollars for an extra ticket. Maybe even a little more than that! (I think I later met one person who claims to have paid a scalper 2-3k for his). Right before doors opened, the line split into two... the people that bought tickets and people that were on the "band list". By that point, I think I was around #4 in the "regular" line, despite not arriving until the mid-afternoon. Some of the people who had lined up hadn't secured a ticket yet, so went back in the line in hopes of getting one after doors opened. In terms of why not as many people had lined up early on in the day, I feel a lot of it had to do with just how small of a show it was (1200 people is about the limit of the Metro, I think?). So not that many people had tickets in the first place, particularly if some were able to buy two of them. And maybe some people were actually coming in from the festival, hence the meaning behind the show and its later start time. Great show, btw! I was in front of Dave Grohl the whole time and even exchanged a few words with him during the course of the night, After the band hit the three hour mark, he asked everyone what time it was, and I just held out my phone so he could see it. He then shouted the time out to everyone and the band proceeded to play for another half hour! If you have a chance to see Green Day in a small venue and can make the trip, you should absolutely try for a ticket.

Less than an hour. Good luck to all of you trying to get tickets!

Good luck to everyone going!! really wish I could be there, excited to hear about the show and setlist

*heaving breathing*

At a Green Day show there'd still be drama anyway

People who line up overnight need to quit that bullshit so everyone can come to the show well rested, fed and at a reasonable hour and have a good time without lots of unnecessary drama. Now that’s my rant.

It's disgusting. Luckily the idiot links to his band page with his full name listed, so the authorities will have no trouble tracking him down!

I’ve always been the one to be jealous of all the club shows not in my city. And then here we are and I couldn’t make it work. But now besides hubby having an early wake up call on Saturday he’s asked me to work with him as he’s short staffed. A 12 hour day on my feet. I would never have made it after a show. Sometimes life is not how you want it to be.

Struck out too. I feel like the 1,000 people that scored are more like lucky contest winners. This feels so random when so many of us were in line so early. Oh well. Hoping for a good recording.

It now officially says sold out on the ticket page. GG.

Someone in there need to go live on facebook or instagram this friday please oh please

I think they are just jamming and messing around

so happy for everyone who is able to join this special show, cant wait for the setlist! now please do some club shows in europe (germany) too, or play atleast some rare songs at your very rare shows in europe 🥺

At this point I'm sure they are making an experimental rock album 😄😄

Believe me I've seen 8-10 people overnight turn into 100+ before doors! There's also those who "know everyone", arrive at 4pm and stand to chat with whoever they know that's closest to the front and never move! Don't get me wrong I've nothing against people taking toilet breaks, grabbing something to eat or having a quick nap in the car but too many people really take the piss. My rant over!

YES! So you get in line and think "Oh yay!!! I'm only third in line!!!! WOOT!!!!".......then just before doors open, each of those 3 people before you have 5 or so people join them out of nowhere, and now you're, what, 15th, 16th in line. That's BS. Where were YOU all day while I was out here lining up?!?! I hate that shit. Ok. My rant is done. LOL Has anybody gotten anything from The Metro after signing up for the newsletter? I haven't.....and I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Exactly! Bad enough when they think they are the arbiters of taste but if it comes down to bribes, which this basically is, then that’s disgraceful!

Seems like their set will be broadcasted. On Hulu's site under the Lolla section is lists Green Day with the time of 8:15 CT.

watching the SF Giants play the Arizona Diamondbacks and a player on the Diamondbacks has Brainstew play for his walkup song.

Welp...have fun peeps. Pretty disappointed but this was to be expected. This is why I kind of hate these shows.

Keep trying! give it some time. I remember for the Philly Longshot show I waited about 30 mins and got in again and was able to get them.

Was not expecting the price of these. Wow. Would have expected them to cost more, tbh

I‘ve seen them a couple of times. Rock am Ring 2018 was probably one of the funniest shows ever. Dave lost his voice after 3-4 songs so his bandmates stepped to the mic to sing for the rest of the set 😂

You were in front of our rock n roll lord and savior Dave Grohl?? Lucky!!! I tried to get tickets to that...no dice. I would love to see Dave Grohl in person some day. Just because he's a cool dude. He's the goodest boy in rock music.

No, you're right. There is an etiquette to lining up. Tons of people need to learn it. You arrive with all parties that will attend concert.........all of you wait for at least a few hours.....let everybody behind see that they are there.....then you can start taking turns, one at a time, to go get food, pee, nap in car, whatever. But yeah, you're right. The people that "know everybody", and conveniently wanna stay and talk to the people toward the front of the line. LOL

Good luck to everyone trying for tickets today

Oh god, I’m going to have to get TikTok aren’t I 😍😍🥹🥹

The Brixton, UK show had no new songs. Was more like a warm up show for Reading and Leeds

Technically not related to 1972, but they tagged #1972 in it

Wouldn't that be great if the setlist included Walking Contradiction, The Grouch, Deadbeat Holiday, FOD, No One Knows, Forever Now? That's when I call it extra special.

We should try to get a concert just for GDA users.

Yes we do - it is not

Same, I am still resisting TikTok.

This is less than a month after Highland Park. Beyond stupid and hurtful.

Well, did my best but looks like it's sold out now. If anyone's going and wants to be a bootleg hero, Dolby makes a nice free phone app that grabs lossless audio. Just throw that bad boy on record and bam.

Metro says to keep trying!!

LOL, same Sometimes the little progress bar moves when I refresh.

I REALLLLLLY wish that would be stopped by all venues (one person holding the line for multiple people). Aside from line cutters, that is my biggest pet peeve about lining up all day for concerts.

CBGB

I personally doubt it'll be an American Idiot show, why would they do that? I could be wrong!

^ This has kind of started happening to me too, even though I tried to keep cool when talking about the show I went to etc A while ago I got totally caught off guard by one of my colleagues, who is also a big music lover but not really into GD (I guess you could call him a casual fan)... We joke around a lot, but one day we're at this event together and he says to me with a straight face "today I felt like Billie Joe at that meeting" - I said what, why, what happened there - and he says "because they gave me one minute to finish" 🙈 I was like oh my god, you hardly know anything about this band but of course you know that?!

Hopefully this makes them want to play more smaller clubs 👀 Poster obviously confirms they will be playing UNO and TRE in full.

Well, that's quite the graphic for this.

That may explain the heavy rotation of shit music, there must be one!

Might depend on who intends to go. I would imagine some fans would definitely line up from very early morning (might even have one person hold the line for multiple others as has happened at other shows in the past)
