Killers tickets

[John]

Well, they sold out PDQ. I didn't manage to get any. Anyone going?

[sparkyminer]

Nope, was at work, stuck underground. Mrs Sparky and the Sparkettes failed me miserably.:(

[vegyjones]

Sorry that you 2 will miss out! :laugh :laugh :peeky

Got a game at the weekend Sparks?

[sparkyminer]

What, rugby or The Stags?

[vegyjones]

Ruggers?

[sparkyminer]

We are away to Leesbrook (Derby) in the Preliminary round of the EDF cup.
And the Stags are away to Torquay, I do believe.:)

[vegyjones]

Good luck in the Cup.

If you get to the final, I might come and watch!

What's your chances?

[sparkyminer]

Good luck in the Cup.

If you get to the final, I might come and watch!

What's your chances?
Tomorrow, fairly good.
The Final, slim.:)

[vegyjones]

Is it just northern teams in it.
Could you get drawn against a London / southern side in the next round?

[Workshy]

Killers weekend coming on C4. Just a heads up for the fans.

[sparkyminer]

Mrs Sparky has been to Nottingham arena box office this morning and acquired 8 tickets.:)

[samantha1303]

Well done Sparky

[sparkyminer]

Well done Sparky

Cheers Sam.
And they're all going to family and friends, no e-bay rip off merchants.::swear

[samantha1303]

Buying them online or over the telephone they cost around £32 each thats enough really they're all gone now as well.

[sparkyminer]

Mrs Sparky just rung me. Her mate has had her car towed away. She drives a Lexus but is too tight to pay a quid to park it. Got back from the Arena and there it was..................gone.:laugh Oh how I laughed until Mrs Sparky says she felt partly responsible and will pay half the fine. :yikes: WTF is she on about, she didn't park the effing thing.::swear ;fire

[John]

Good going Sparky! :)

Missed out on the tix again, found out through text message at 12... and guess what... I was stuck in a bloody lecture. :(

To make it worse, Ticketmaster emailed me last night and I've only got the email.

[samantha1303]

Did you manage to get them the second time around John?
They all went back on sale 3 days later.
If I'd have stayed on the forum a little longer I could have let you have some, I got them incase Sparky missed out again I came on here and he gave us the news he had been lucky so I passed them on.

[John]

Three days later as in on Monday 6th (just gone)?

Nope, didn't get them I'm afraid. To be honest with you Sam, I've come to the conclusion than I'm not too fussed about getting them now, not just because I missed out and to buy them on eBay would cost an arm and a leg, but because I'm simply not too keen on the new album. :( For me it jumps around too much, doesn't really follow a pattern, a sequence. And while it may be a good thing that they've tried to make it different from Hot Fuss, most of the tracks (there are a couple I do like) aren't cutting the mustard for me. So no worries about passing on the tickets. :)

[samantha1303]

I personally don't like them so I didn't buy any tickets for myself but Sparky had mentioned to me that he was trying to get them so I got them just incase knowing I could off load them if not needed.
Enjoy them while they are here if you like them , in another 5 years people will be saying the killers who are they

[John]

Possibly, yeah. It seems that bands come and go a lot quicker nowadays, but I hope The Killers stay around for years to come. I mentioned on another thread about there not really being any modern day bands that are enormous like there have been in the past...

[sparkyminer]

I got them incase Sparky missed out again

You'll go to heaven my dear.:)















Unless it was just to gloat.:yikes: :D :wink

[samantha1303]

:laugh no it was genuine.

[John]

How was the gig Sparkmeister Miner?

I imagine it seems a while ago now... well it was... November 20th or something?

Hope you had a good headbang. :D

Mrs Sparky went to the Hull bash. Very very good. She was deaf for 2 days afterwards.
I'm going to the Nottingham Arena concert. I'm trying to get in Sister in Law's box for that one (cue the jokes) but I already have lowlife tickets for normal people.:D

[John]

Good stuff Sir!

When do they play Nottingham? Surely your sister in law will be able to accommodate you. :D

[samantha1303]

The arena tour is in March.
4th I think for Nottingham.
Sparky you can't sit down thats sacriledge at a concert, get front row with the hoolies and break a couple of ribs

[John]

get front row with the hoolies and break a couple of ribs

And yet you complain of the atmosphere at an Oasis concert. :ermmm

[samantha1303]

Straight out punches to the face is a completely different issue to people having fun.
Unfortunately oasis attract these morons

[John]

Don't ever live in Leeds whatever you do. :D

[samantha1303]

I'll try not to :wink
At footie you expect a dig ,thats Leeds and we all know the score a match aint a match without the aggro wherever you are in the world following them but at a concert you don't
Its such a shame as Oasis are excellent ( imo )
I like to be front row, I expect broken ribs, and being crushed against the barrier, but I don't expect to be punched in the face by a bloke

[John]

I'm sure though Sam that there are people at most gigs looking to get in to a fight. I think you just tend to notice it more at concerts such as Oasis concerts because that is the sort of image unfortunately that the band attracts.

[samantha1303]

There undoubtably are, but usually they are towards the back, they are there cos they got cheap or free tickets, I have never experienced anything like an Oasis concert at any of the concerts I have been to and that is alot, Oasis fans wern't like this years ago so what went wrong I'm not sure but to go to a gig and have people ( they are not fans ) openly snorting cocaine, pissing their pants and punching people willly nilly is not on.
God knows I love Liam and Noel is one of the best songwriters ever but some people attending the concerts are young idiots usually students who can't hold their drink, think its cool to take drugs and then want to fight a sad sate of affairs

[sparkyminer]

The arena tour is in March.
4th I think for Nottingham.
Sparky you can't sit down thats sacriledge at a concert, get front row with the hoolies and break a couple of ribs

At 6'2" and 19 stone, I'll be doing the rib breaking.:D

[sparkyminer]

Killers tonight.:)

Support band.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.:D Result.:)

[vegyjones]

Have a nice evening Sparky.

Are you in the box?

[sparkyminer]

Have a nice evening Sparky.

Are you in the box?

No mate, I'm moshing at the front.:D

[John]

Have a blast mate! :D

My sister went last week, and so did a friend at uni. Both said they were excellent. :D

[samantha1303]

How was it Sparky?

[sparkyminer]

They were brilliant Sam. Better than I expected to be honest.
I'll put some pics up as soon as Mrs Sparky finds the flaming camera. She was sat down.:)

[samantha1303]

On the camera? :doh

[sparkyminer]

On the camera? :doh

There are so many answers to that Sam, but out of respect for Mrs Sparky, I'll decline to comment.:)

[vegyjones]

Was Mrs Sparky not entertained or had she just over exerted herself pre-gig ?

[samantha1303]

:laugh It will be in the handbag.
Wonderful things you can never find anything in them.

[sparkyminer]

Was Mrs Sparky not entertained or had she just over exerted herself pre-gig ?

Me and Bro' in law went 'moshing':yikes: and left the wives and daughters in the seats.:D

[John]

Very gentlemanly. :D
