Isabel Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Yeah, there seems to be some underlying rumour about the soundcheck unbeknown to all us Europeans I heard that it might be O2 seeing as they're playing alot of O2 venues and stuff and I doubt you'd need an iPhone.I asked people from O2 and they knew nothing about it
Psycho Britney Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 ^Aww. I thought the O2 idea sounded likely! Then again they might just be keeping it hush hush!! I wouldn't mind if Virgin did it either!

Psycho Britney Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 ^We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed. I try not to get my hopes up too high incase we're not going to get anything extra like the US has been treated too though.
Lauren Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Chris is amazing. I got into sound check again, and I got to talk to Tre and Billie, and got them to play Misery!
82 Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 *crosses fingers* Green Day had better do soundcheck over here too! or else..
mad hatter. Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Did you hear what the sponsor might be?Noo clue. Whatever is sponsoring the tour, like Verizon did for the American one, I'm guessing. Probably some sort of phone company.
chris b... Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 awesome indeed, but did Billie know the words to it?yes because Lauren had them printed out for Billie (that is the correct spelling Lauren!!!!!! ha).Chris is amazing. I got into sound check again, and I got to talk to Tre and Billie, and got them to play Misery! So Lauren is pretty much a rock star now!!!! She can get GD to do just about anything...
amy_runs Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I already asked this, (but I forgot) what time does sound check start, and when are passes handed out?
jenni Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 *crosses fingers* Green Day had better do soundcheck over here too! or else..agree! I join and keep my fingers crossed with you!
Lauren Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I already asked this, (but I forgot) what time does sound check start, and when are passes handed out?OMG, Amy, calm down. Just don't bug the hell out of Chris. Go up to him calmly and tell him you are my bestest friend, and you have a good chance. and it's around 4:00-4:30
Soo Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 If this whole soundcheck thing happened over here I'd probably show my true colours and battle it out until the end for a pass Haha! Me too!! I really hope it happens over here. Maybe they might give the passes away in competitions or something?? I haven't seen or heard anything about a sponsor for the UK tour yet.
amy_runs Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 OMG, Amy, calm down. Just don't bug the hell out of Chris. Go up to him calmly and tell him you are my bestest friend, and you have a good chance. and it's around 4:00-4:30I wasn't just asking him, I was asking this whole thread!And okay, I will try that
netty Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 green day always do sound checks, as do all bands. cant remember if they let people in last time round or not but I should imagine they did and will for this tour. if they do, passes will be given out through the usual radio comps and that kind of thing. that and maybe to people queueing up outside. either that or just bug Bill for one.

Ha I talked to bill during soundcheck he was cool
netty Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Ha I talked to bill during soundcheck he was coolhe`s probably going to slap me for all the annoying questions I keep asking him. lolI looked before for some adverts for the last UK gigs and didnt see a sponsor. so its down to us to get passes for ourselves.

Why do radio competitions hand them out though? It seems so pointless. Basically everyone will get access because of sheer luck. Surely it's only fair to have us true fans at the soundcheck! I don't remember them allowing people in on the tour in 05. I bet they'll have it in America and England but not the rest of Europe. Just like those damned presale tickets!

Surely it's only fair to have us true fans at the soundcheck! so true fans dont enter radio comps? and HOW are we going to get the passes for ourselves? dont know about you guys but if I dont get one I`m going to throw the biggest hissy fit ever! and boy do I do hissy well!
82 Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 dont know about you guys but if I dont get one I`m going to throw the biggest hissy fit ever! and boy do I do hissy well! Oh hell yeah, so do I. :verymad: Which show you going to? Maybe we could join forces and rebel! bahaha
Isabel Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 so true fans dont enter radio comps? They do! Heck, I texted into a radio stn 120 times to win a signed Green Day guitar and it ended up going to some girl who didn't even like them alot! I just hate how the wrong people always get so lucky...not saying they always do, but I know that if it's done on the radio, there will be many people in that soundcheck who are only there for the free booze! I don't even like booze that much, I just like my Green Day I remember when Bullet In A Bible had a Dublin premiere and FM 104 gave away tickets for it...I somehow found out only the day before the screening! I immediately rang them up and I said "Look you don't understand, I need these tickets. I'm a huge, huge fan. Would I be ringing you if I wasn't?? I have to go to this show, pleeeeease!" And it worked
Soo Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I am never lucky enough to win competitions like that but that won't stop me trying! On the other hand, I am usually quite lucky at winning random rubbishy raffle prizes like sandwich toasters!!! I know which I would prefer!! :lol: Gonna try not to get too excited about the possibility of soundcheck until I hear something concrete though.
Tripe Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 How many shows have let people with a soundcheck pass down on the floor during the actual concert? (if they had seats)Amy, it seems hit or miss. In St Louis, they wristbanded us all immediately and didn't even look at the tickets. In Vegas, they wanted to see your ticket before they wristbanded you. I believe Chris can overrule that, although at Vegas, we were nearly late to the floor so the girls who originally had seats and wanted floor were scrambling to get that worked out at the last minute. Good luck!

Lauren Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Chris, please just give Amy a pass. She's like freaking out and asking 30493840398 questions. She's a cool girl. She deserves one.
