Calvin Harris gig

panda100

As some of you may be know theres a free becks fusion gig in Meeting house square(in Dublin) on September 16th.I will literallly sell my first born for a ticket to this gig but its a win-only tickets gig.
Two questions
1)Does anyone know of any other way except winning them that I can get tickets to this gig
2)If anyone here has won any tickets and doesnt want them will you please pm me!

Just keep trying the site comp. The level of ongoing marketing suggests they're not nearly sold out yet. You can only try once a day but if you're persistant you should get one.

I got mine a few weeks ago for the London gig with Calvin Harris and Chemical Brothers on Trafalgar Sqaure. Think I won the tickets on the 5th day of trying. Also you could use a few e mail addresses or borrow mates ones to give you a better chance.

Even tho its a free gig, i wouldnt be uptight if i missed it. I saw them at an 80 thousand person event over the summer in a packed tent.

The set was kinda dull other than his 2 main tunes. All the other songs sounded the same. At one point a mate turned to me and said "is he going to play a different song anytime soon".

Never the less, i suppose the 2 tunes compensated for the rest of the set!

meh... i didnt really think so. Sure Will Farrell gets terrible movie reviews for his latest stuff, i think its class!

Im not slating Calvin harris, just live his songs sound all the same, infact a couple of them are, just in different keys with a different vocal melody.

Two songs have the exact same bassline. Same notes and so same key. But it's true that they are different songs :P

I was only talking about the bassline, if the vocal melody was the same too then people would really be drawing the line!

I'm trying to source tickets for Calvin Harris this Sunday in Dublin. Haven't been lucky enough to win a ticket to date. Can't buy them in the shop unf. Can anyone help me out 0851211901

red_ice

no, they are the exact same songs, with different VOCALS.

Its like in the simpsons when homers singing a song in bed which is actaully another song, so marge corrects him and he tries to sing the correct song, only he replaces "do do do" with "da da da" with the same melody.

He was just a tad boring i found, and noone that i could see was really into it other than when he did those 2 songs

Are all Dublin tickets gone? Can only choose from Manchester and Glasgow on the site....
