BELFAST SOLD OUT!!!

[rumsodomyandthelash]

Don't judge me on this 'cos the times I have used Ebay it's been alright

Nah, 99.9% of my eBay experiences have been fine too.

Ditto (And no, I havent actually used the registered, insured, etc. Always too cheap to do it.)

Lads, is this thread about the Belfast gig or a chit chat about one unfortunate ebay incident? Sorry about the ticket hassle Mick.

I previously asked a valid question about this being the most eagerly awaited and intimate gig on the tour, that now seems to have been hijacked by the promoters not happy that it sold out.

They've moved it to a venue almost twice the size.

Will they sell thousands of tickets this week? I fucking hope so, but doubt it.

Yer agree totally, it will not be as good in a bigger venue and we bought tickets for the Nugent Hall, it's not really on but there is nothing you can do about it, i know it's not everyones idea of watching a gig but i get as close to the front as i can and it doesn't really matter how big the venue is, i'm having my own private show with a few hundred people

Yes, but we all know the band feed off the atmosphere of a packed gig. Look at the reviews from Nottingham this year compared the the jammed gig in Manchester.

I DJ in a pub for students midweek, a kind of Death Disco affair (loads of indie and classic jems). The buzz is electric when it's packed, the crowd are more up for it and I thrive on their reaction to the songs I play. Even if the crowd is only 20% down it's impossible to recreate that intensity. It must be the same for the Pogues.

Most certainly, the Birmingham gig is proof of that , the packed crowd were ssoooooo000000 up fort it- one of the best gigs i have ever been to - see you Saturday mate

don't worry guys, I trust it will be joyful and memorable anyway, especially with the likes of the Pogues, though I too was looking forward to a small scale event

I think the analogy with dj-ing is wrong, by the way, because with a live performance there is the stage that is the focal point, no need to look around, let alone back !!

anyhow, I experienced numerous counterexamples, most notably I remember an inspired gig by Tom Robinson Band in an almost empty venue, where they apparently managed to focus on those who turned up rather than on the disappointing crowd size

Oh shite, this is going nowhere. I meant sarcastically the students I DJ for

Anyway, fuck DJ-ing, I can't wait for Satuday and Sunday.
