I support habitat for humanity and all that. But jeez the americans didnt have to pay for their soundcheck, so why do we?

EDIT: and its not like any of us have that sort of money.. estimated value $2500

[Kryssi.]

Y'know, that's really unfair. Making us PAY to get into sounchecks when the US got in scot free.

[Trina]

Gotta say I'm upset about this. I know, how incredibly selfish of me. I mean, it's great and all and I really mean that but there's no way I can afford to do this. My family couldn't even afford tickets but we managed to get them.

I'll be queing up from like 6am and I don't like that people will take my spot just because they're rich.

[Kryssi.]

Yeah, it'll be for a good cause, but no way can I afford this, or anyone I know.. It's at least £160 for the minimum bid. We're not made of money :/

[Hermione]

If you're rich you can get into soundcheck and if you're not you can't?

This saddens me. They could have raised money for the charity some other way than making something any fan would want so much only accessible to rich fans. I don't know what they're thinking of.

[ifmemoryserves]

I only clicked on this because of the caps lock.

[Trina]

I know..I mean we could barely afford to buy tickets (actually we got lent the money). It just really sucks for me. I thought I'd have a shot at getting in, but no. Why would I? Only rich people can. Whoopdeedoooo that's great!!!!!

[farley drexel hatcher]

What's the big deal? There are going to be other ways for people to get into soundcheck. If some rich person wants a sure fire chance of getting in then good on them, plus they get to help a good cause. The rest of you can wait for the IC contests or whatever.

[Kryssi.]

Do they even know we're in recession right now?

[Hermione]

Oh wait is this only for one person?

Well I'm not really bothered then!

[Kryssi.]

Oh wait is this only for one person?

Well I'm not really bothered then!

Yes, it's for one pair of tickets. For ONE date of the tour.

[Hermione]

I'm stupid

[TheBullwinkle]

Good cause. Too bad I need a Habitat for Humanity house to live in before I can bid.

[amy_runs]

That sucks. I would be so pissed if it was like that here

[Tubbie Head]

Grrr.. I was kinda mad when I saw those few cities (not including Portugal.. of course).. But Then I realised that I would have to pay

I thought it was to win passes.. not pay for them..

It's not fair this way.. Ok it's for charity.. but it's still unfair if that's the only way we can get into the soundcheck

and I can't believe Green Day approve this thing.. at all..

That sucks. I would be so pissed if it was like that here

Yeah..

Btw.. I think now I know who's going to have my vote for best sig

[-Billiejoezee-]

I THINK THIS IS CRAP.

sorry for caps but seriously.thats mean.

[Tubbie Head]

I still hope there is going to be another way to get a souncheck pass..

[Trina]

LOL. Oh my god. I'm so fucking happy right now. I thought all fifty were through this.

I am so fucking stupid.

Oh my god. I'm so lucky I didn't post my full on rant yet hahaha

Whoohoo

[Kryssi.]

Hahaha, yeah, it's for just ONE person to win a pair of tickets.

We'll get our chance :wink:

[The Disappearing Boy]

Damn this is a good offer, especially this bit:

You never know what they might play at this intimate, invitation only rehearsal!

the fact that all proceeds will go to charity. really good stuff, green day :wink:

[Trina]

I'm so glad there'll be a soundcheck at the dublin show!!

[mad hatter.]

Wait, so [some of?] the European dates have to PAY to get into sound check?

That's so not right, especially when we got in for free.

edit: one person, i got it now.

kudos to the one that pays that.

[Guest Shangri-La]

bullshite indeed.

[NoVaCaInE!]

I'm so glad there'll be a soundcheck at the dublin show!!

OMFGOODLORD ME TOO :woot: This actually will make me want to stay up all night now
