[The Disappearing Boy]

You're happy about that?

Fair enough, the happy face threw me off! You seem like someone who would want to see Green Day!

and because some of us who have never been to concert or never been to 20 in row...I have just been to one concert doesn't make us less important...all fans are important

I still am fans with so many artists that I have never been to any of their concerts yet....

I have only been to Green Day once and it was the most spiritual time of my life...

I feel no need to go to 20 in a row...

i am very happy to people who have time and money to do that....they are very lucky

but we infrequent goers are happy too....

so if you haven't been to a concert yet...remember quality is important...not quantity

[JohnnyNapalm]

You're happy about that?

ahaha... same question?

im going to one in NZ on the 19th of december, 18th is sold out so im on my mission into finding a ticket to that one too. its gonna be an epic weekend! green day two nights in a row!!

[-Billiejoezee-]

this is all so sad. i was on the verge of not going,because the L.A ones were getting sold out so fast before my mom could go to the bank.

but i got san diego ones,which are high. but im happy im still going.

We all know that a good chunk of the people here on GDC are going to the Green Day shows, but is anyone else on here joining me in the "not going" category? We didn't have the money to afford tickets. :down:

Do like my friend when he's out of drug money and donate plasma; pays well and would be a great ice breaker for the people around you at the show.

I was on the verge of not going too, and I got high tickets aswell eventually. This thread made me realise I should be grateful for whatever I get.

I have two GA tickets to the Las Vegas show on 8/21, but I can't go. I contacted artist arena to see if I could transfer the tickets to someone else, and they said I could write a letter with a copy of my ID, giving permission to whoever had possesion of the confirmation to use the tickets. They said it's up to the venue whether or not they will honor that. If anyone wants to take a chance on using these tickets, contact me at tookum@pacbell.net.

I also believe I have extra tickets to the San Diego show on 8/20. I will know for sure within a day or so. I'm 99% sure I'll have at least 2 extra tickets. If you are interested, contact me at tookum@pacbell.net. I will be attending this show, so you'll just have to meet me at the venue.

I know I can't be the only person on here who hasn't been to see them (even thought it feels that way sometimes lol).

I'm interested to hear from others who haven't seen them and why they haven't.

For me, it's a combination of financial (just not having the money at the time the tickets go on sale) and responsibilities (I have 2 kids, so I can't travel too far to see them)...

I'd hoped to get to Glasgow on the 19th, but that didn't work out cuz I was totally broke when the ticketline opened. :down:

I've decided to put away money someplace so that the next time they come around, I'll definitely have the money!!! LoL

[Dai.]

Merged.

[elle1039]

Thanks for finding this Dai.. I did look for one but this place is MASSIVE!!!

There are so many concerts going on outside the US. I'm thinking of flying to Italy to go see them but i doubt it. I miss them.

[Harinezumi]

I've been a fan for such a short period of time that I haven't really had the chance to go to a gig yet. If they come anywhere near Finland (maybe next year?) then I'll definitely go, no matter what it takes.

[SuperSock]

I haven't been able to go due to financial issues(same with you, I don't have the money when they come around) and my mom HATES Green Day, so she doesn't want me to go to one of their concerts. :'c

[elle1039]

A lot of people aren't allowed to go to gigs, or travel too far to them. I feel bad for them. I remember what that was like.

[Valkin]

I've never seen em' Me and my friend Ash wanted to go this year but tickets were sold out in London and Birmingham, and on Ebay assholes were selling tickets like £80 each

Green Day has only performed in my hometown once - 5 years ago for the AI tour. Unfortunately, I didn't know about the tour at the time (too busy with a new job and applying to grad school). I'd love to see them for the 21CB tour, but I really doubt they'll perform here, and I don't really travel, so going to another city is out of the question. Plus, there's no one to go with me, and I have terrible anxiety issues (sorry if that's TMI, but it's the main reason). I've basically resigned myself to the fact that I'll probably never see them live.

[elle1039]

I refuse to buy off ticket touts for 2 reasons.

1. I can't afford to pay their asking prices.

2. If nobody bought off them, they'd stop doing it. It's supply & demand after all.

[Spizz]

sadly i have no money

or people to go with me

or plane tickets...

[monkeyfish]

I was supposed to go to the Wembley arena show and the tube trains were shut down. :down: :down: :verymad:

[Michael128]

I kind of feel bad that so many people have never been able to see them and I saw them when I wasn't even a fan. (don't worry, I am now)
