Manchester Apollo gig being netcast tomorrow night

Well theres always the repeats! Just like the good ol' BBC! Still doesnt escape the fact we're paying a FIVER to watch it LIVE!!!

have just sent my third shouty email to poor stuart whoever he is

know it's not his fault...

I had ACR on for a while and they sounded pretty good, though it cut out every 2 minutes and I had to restart the Real Whatever

during the tech set-up for No it started doing strange things and telling me I had to go and download a new version of Real Player and then spewing out an error code before you've had a chance to cry 'hurt'

total waste of

HACKER MY ARSE. AHOULD HAVE TESTED THIS LINK BEFORE THE GIG

I think I'm going to calm down a bit before emailing them. At the moment it would just be nothing but four letter words, and that wouldn't really help anything.

And by the way: ARRRRRGHHHGGJGJGJGHHHHHH!!!!!

This is a fucking joke.10 minutes of ACR and no New Order.I least I'm not the only one.

I'm definitely asking for my money back. I keep getting a 'Requested File Not Found' message now. I heard a tiny bit of ACR and nothing else and i've seen nothing resembling a moving picture all night. They should have checked things out properly beforehand.

I'm giving up on this now.

Fucking atrocious. I'm actually on a lightspeed fast connection right now and the server at best was choking out globs of video with some (admittedly) not bad sound. During ACR anyway. Now it isn't working at all.

Send them to the dogs. I wonder if their server is being slowed down by the vast amount of email complaints they're getting

At least we'll be able to rewatch it once it's already gone, eh guys? And I did at least see them in London

We're the idiots. We should have taken their crappily designed website and no real instructions as a warning that this would happen.

Oh hang on, no, we're not the idiots. THEY FUCKING ARE!

And the hacker excuse is just pissing me off even more. They've robbed us and now they're trying to bullshit us. Just admit it's your fault it's not working, you wankers!

Even if I could jusy hear "Turn" I'd be not so angry! ACR was on and off for 10 mins but nowt since! I think by just sending this complete topic link tomorrow to this "LiveGigs" i think they will get the message.

rtsp://212.113.22.101/encoder/lgo.rm

Thats all Ive got. Hope that aint coming up on Barneys autocue!

I have gone from the best time I have had this year (last Thursday) to the worst by far - arseholes

...annoyed as fuck here.. hopefully when they archive the gig it will come through

fucking hope so

Even if I could jusy hear "Turn" I'd be not so angry! ACR was on and off for 10 mins but nowt since! I think by just sending this complete topic link tomorrow to this "LiveGigs" i think they will get the message.

Even if it does get archived, we really should get our money back.

I got a password on the basis of seeing the gig live, I certainly would never pay £5 to watch some pixely RealMedia file afterwards. Also, of course, the archive only works for seven measly days.

We've been stitched up!

yeah good shout,email the link has to be done

Good idea sharing this thread link with the company - they'll see how bad their perception is now. Must admit, there were nodiscernable instructions on how to actually use their site - very shoddily organized!

I'm off to the pub. Nice cheap night in now ruined!

sOMEONE EMAIL AND FIND OUT WHERE THEY ARE TO WITH THIS

If the set is the same as Thursday we have missed Turn

ill say this. they've got balls to just pull the plug on the whole thing rather than offer a jerky connection.

Have just emailed them the link and added that there will be quite a few asking for a refund tomorrow. Will let you know if I get a reply

yep but the 5 mins leading up to the error were perfect:(

.got in for a few minutes earlier when the techs were doing final setting up.like someone else said i've gone from the best night of the year,thursday, to the worst night, tonight

Fucking disgrace, 3 years ago the same experience with a AJAX cuptie, paid a fiver to see it live and guess: fucking nothing, slipped through my mind while ordering e-ticket for tonight, but i thought thats 3 years ago technology has taken some steps again, it will be alright, how much more wrong could i've been. Why those butthole surfers are making such a offer when they cant live to there promises.

Shockingly bad.

This was my first experience of pay-per-view webcasting and I'm not well disposed to going for it again after this fiasco. I got about ten minutes of ACR then it cut. It eventually restarted and I got the whole of the de-rigging (great!). It went off again before the Order came on...assuming they did...and I've been getting the 'general error' shit ever since.

I've mailed them about a refund. Poor fucking do.

Cheers to Chris Nash who is there tonight (lucky bleeder) and Delilah in Richmond. How goes it with you, Claire?

Cheers

If I go outside and shout at the first person I see do you reckon there's much chance of them being from LiveGigsOnline.com?

Hmmm...

You'd think they'd have the decency to take the advert for it off their homepage. As it stands other people joining up late are also going to be very disappointed.

Well, paid a fiver and got zip. Not the first time that's happened! All I can say is, I hope the archive of the gig will be online and a refund forthcoming otherwise im paying a visit to Hooky's hair dresser :)

any further explanation from livegigsoffline?

I'm hanging in there, Al, now got a realplayer screen that's trying to load so I've got past the general error thingie but still no sign of four slightly chubby blokes giving it large portions
