Is anyone going to see them?

I dont get paid till 2moz and Ive looked on the NEC website and they say the tickets are sold out!!!! How gutted am I!

They are one of 3 'bands' I want to see live in my life.

Just listend to there new album on myspace.com and im thinking it could be better than Automatic for the People after a few more listens.

Hopefully those wonderful people at the NEC will find some tickets in a box and sell them.

Once I have my ticket, the next problem is finding sum1 to go with, altho may decide to go by myself.

Does anyone else like REM?

I'm going to see them in July in the Millenium Stadium.

[Sionide]

would be good, they're on my list of bands to see..

[Minnie the Minx]

Aren't the tickets really expensive? Like £45?

[Toast]

£35 I think, worth it though.

[DemonHorse]

£45? I thought that was pretty cheap compared to what far lesser pop-tart acts charge to go see their s**te live?

[pip1984_2k]

There are still tickets available for Sheffield so I mite go to that one!

£35 is for standing, £45 for seats

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

£45 is two Everton games an more entertainment.

[Ickle Angel]

I paid £40 for the chilis in Hyde Park too

[Sionide]

i've heard that hyde park isn't a good venue at all though.. is it really flat so you can hardly see anything?

this girl from work went and stood outside the fence of hyde park and listened to the chilis, psshh..

[Dickie]

Someone i knwo got 'Gold' tickets (whatever that means) and they cost £50. You used to be able to go to Reading for a weekend for £60!

[Adam]

Just searched "Gold Tickets+REM" and this came up:

"

These Gold tickets allow you to get as close as you like to the stage, and also give you a seperate area for drinks, toilets and food...

"

Nice.

They are one of 3 'bands' I want to see live in my life.

who are the other 2?

45 quid for 2 everton matches? rip off.

4 - 0 pompey on sunday.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

thats generous. I think we will only win 2-0.

REM - can't say i am at all fussed about em.

[Quincy]

you will probably defeat us.

i just cant believe its really 45 quid for 2 matches!

fratton park its £30 a match.

[pip1984_2k]

who are the other 2?

Michael Jackson (although not a band, wud still be awesome) and Queen

Reading is £110 now, would be so much better if it was still only £60!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

you will probably defeat us.

i just cant believe its really 45 quid for 2 matches!

fratton park its £30 a match.

so £60 for two matches then? the tickets go from £22.50 to about £35.

If we get leicester in the cup sidders better come.

[Quincy]

yes, sixty for two matches.

fratton park cheapest tickets for a premiership match are £28 in the uncovered milton end. i thought leicester would do well in div1 but theyve had a poor start. well at least theyve taken kevin harper from us.

[Nicky]

Slightly related note, I just got tickets to go see the Libertines in Toronto.

£6 a ticket. Quality.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Yeah but the journey is a bitch.

[Nicky]

I'm sure theres a train that stops there.

[Quincy]

why not travel by horseback?

[Nicky]

Because of the £200 fee for cancelling a flight. Otherwise, a great suggestion.

[kendra k]

huh? i should read this whole thread.

REM, nothing without bill berry. and i'm and old school fan.
