Holly Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 MCR sold out Hammersmith (5000) in three minutes, along with two more UK dates, in 2010. Considering: 1. Green Day are doing a single date. 2. Green Day are bigger. 3. Shepherds Bush is two fifths the size of hammersmith. um, that REALLY doesn't look good! Oh God, I'm gonna be sick. There are a few factors in our favour... Not much advertising, IC presale, o2 sale, only 2 tickets per person, same time as reading festival which will put a lot of people out of the equation, not to mention the 24hours notice for people to arrange things This makes me feel minisculey better.

Damn, it's gonna go in under a minute. Isn't it? I'm so not gonna be able to sleep
gmcloughlin Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 There's no doubt the tickets will be gone in the space of a minute. I'm terrified! Best of luck though to everyone trying to get them
Justin Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 At least a lot of us have 2 shots at getting some

I'm so not gonna be able to sleep justin86 is right, there are a few things in our favour - reading/leeds, IC, and the short notice - many people will not be able to just drop everything and go. I don't know if those MCR gigs were "secret" or not, but the last minuteness of all this has to count in our favour!
San Miguel Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 sorry for joining the party late (bloody work) i found out and 3-ish and my mood hasn't changed, it can only be described as "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" so happy, so anxious, so depressed at the thought of not getting a ticket, so ecstatic i have a shot!!! Holly described it in fewer and better words! glad i've switched to o2 so i have a second chance
Justin Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah exactly, luckily i have the ability to drop everything and travel across the country, whilst nearly every one of my friends cannot. So it is looking alright
Harriet Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 The more I read this thread the more I freak out about not getting tickets...I might just come back tomorrow once I know for sure whether I'm going or not.

San Miguel Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 ps. i'm hoping the price will put off anyone other than serious fans!
solongfromthestars Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I'm worried that some of the people joining the IC are scalpers, because they know they'll still get more than they paid. Ugh, I hope not.
Justin Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 ps. i'm hoping the price will put off anyone other than serious fans! yeah £50 is pretty damn expensive, would put alot of people off

Doesn't stop me being insanely nervous however
gmcloughlin Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I'm worried that some of the people joining the IC are scalpers, because they know they'll still get more than they paid. Ugh, I hope not. That crossed my mind too! There's a tonne of new members cos of this
farley drexel hatcher Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I really wish they hadn't advertised it to the masses its gonna make it so hard to get tickets. Waited so long for this and it just seems impossible :/
PaulS Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Predictably, having encouraged people to go for it the last couple of days, I'm now getting cold feet about the whole thing. This happens everytime with mosh pit gigs. Hate. My. Self.
Holly Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 ps. i'm hoping the price will put off anyone other than serious fans! Yeah, can they make it a couple of hundred and I'll go party on my own

WhatsUpLucas Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Good luck to you guys that wil try and get tickets tomorrow! Also, it makes me have faith in humanity when I see some of you making plans to cross the UK together.
Justin Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I wouldnt worry about the scalpers too much, as it was posted earlier about wristbands, theyll have a really tough job selling tickets
Undómiel Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I GOT THE DAY OFF WORK!!! :runaround: :runaround: Now to get a ticket.
Tashidge Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Every time I read this thread, I panic more and more about not getting a ticket. Going to be refreshing the site every two seconds before general sale starts. Damn band.
solongfromthestars Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 If anyone else is going to be sleeping at Victoria Bus Station, you're welcome to join us
grrrsowhat Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Is anyone interested in going from Bristol?!
