Liverpool Roll Call

I don't think the VIP thing is the issue, it's the all-seated thing that concerns me more. Seen enough gigs where that ain't a problem, but sounds like security might be a bit more clued up at this one. Hope not for most people's sake.

If you can afford to turn up for a Neworderdisco, Cambo, you can surely afford to be at this one.

Yeah all seating sounds a bit mental really. Can't say I'd mind in a funny sort of way, would have been handy at the Apollo when everything went wrong :D But at the same time, all seater venues are for andy fucking williams not NO.

As for affording, dude you have NO idea, by how tightly I flooked the cash to make this, it was all looking good, then went COMPLETELY tits up, and were it not for a bit of precipitous and not a little paranoid thinking on my part a coupla weeks ago, I'd be going fucking nowhere

Any idea on how to order VIP tickets? Been looking at the tickets for the other Summer Pops gigs but they don't seem to list VIP tickets.

Gonna be a great gig

I wanna go see THE WHO at Summer Pops as well.

Not sure I get you, if you've got the money for neworderdisco, you've got the money for Liverpool. Given the choice of either option, I know exactly where I'd rather be. No offence to Monty, but to see him spin a few tunes, or to see the real thing bang 'em out live, no competition.

this weekend's bought and paid for, and it may well be the last brass I see in a while. I'm sure I'l have money by july (fuckin hope so anyway), it's a question of there still be the odd ticket to be found by the time things sort out. My projected income for the forseeable future, for reasons infinitely long and complex is....exactly fuck all, zero.

Already looked at flights to the pool and they're well cheap :D

Yes, they do. Take a look at ticketmaster.co.uk.

Limited to ten per person though. TEN! At those prices!

Ah cheers, I must've clicked something wrong when on the site. All sorted now finding prices. :D

I'm up for the Vip thing.

Can't see any NewOrder tickets on Ticketmaster though

I thought they weren't going on sale untill Friday 21st ??

Nah, no New Order tickets yet, but the VIP tickets for the other artists are pretty much similar prices around the £160 - £170 mark.

I'm gonna VIP it as well.

I'm thinking I'll give this a miss and invest the cash in plane tix, hotel etc. for a Spanish jaunt instead. That way I can combine a few days in the sun with my first non-UK NO gig. I think I'll count myself out of Liverpool for the time being... if I can find a spare £200 I'll be up for it and the VIP perks do sound the best way to see them live; right down the front with a handy and well stocked bar nearby!

Ah well, the Spanish weather will be miles better!

c'mon, ally. it won't be the same without you there. ;)

VIP my arse.

I'm gonna abseil in :p

Yup, the 21st (when I'm in The Gambia - must remember to wake up early and get those VIP tickets at 9am then go back to bed/beach)!

NME, though, have reported that tickets went on sale on Good Friday... Hmmm....

They posted that news article after Good Friday too. I'm ignoring it.

I mostly always ignore the NME, regardless of the news story! :p

Gold Circle for me then if possible.

VIP?!! At almost two tonne?!!!! Fuck right off. I know what I'd be expecting for that cash and I don't think "Summer Pops" would provide it. I'm a gent that likes to avoid slumming it and to heck with the cost but I reckon this would be a total waste of cash.

I'll be there but will be well and truly "keeping it real" with the plebs in the cheap seats.

Changed my mind.Feck paying £40 for this seating shit.i'll wait til they announce a standing venue gig.

Is Matthew St still a good place for a post gig beer?

is Eric Cantona a tit?

of course it is.

(nah shite really. prefer Bold/Slater St way)

Remember...If you're hitting the town later on pack yer tracksuit.

The best place IMO would be The Hanover in Hanover Street. Opposite a taxi rank, central location about two minutes from Lime Street and loads of fast food places. Boasts the longest bar in Liverpool.

This is all sounding familiar!! Cue fifteen different threads on where to meet up before and after the gig and then once the decision has been made, we realise we can't get in and we all have to ring each other to re-arrange at the last minute!
