Get your tickets.

Mushy

Have to register with passport style photo, and can only realy buy one unless ya know other peoples uniqure registration codes'. And for some reason, I think it'l be linited to English people. Read something that ya need the postal code of the other person, which might hamper others getting tickets.

Diabhal_Glas

Thanks for that Tony, best of luck to ye and everyone in getting tickets

frag420

did they not get no1 here too??

Anyways reg'd for finsbury park. used 00353 as zip code??

hope it works

frAg

Mushy

Would N/A not work for zip code?

The site seemed to suggest that as long as you remember what you used as your postcode you should be fine because they would require an exact match when you "buy" the tickets next week.

Motley Crue

I entered my UK postcode but this whole thing smells of bull****, I don't understand, I mean if I am approved and I go back at 9am on Wednesday do I just have to put the code in and hope I win a ticket...or is there an hourly draw, I'm just not sure what's going on with the whole thing?

Still, if I get a ticket or two, I will be delighted because I've always wanted to see the band live and as an act of protest I've never wanted to pay for the actual gig;)

Its nice that they have the passport style photos so you can't sell them on EBay, and they're prob not gonna be sent out until May, just to make sure you can't "alter" them....I wonder who support will be for this one?

No it seems to be a normal sale except instead of a credit/debit card you put in a registration number for each ticket you are "buying" upto a maximum of two. The "approval" is just that your picture is a) of a person and b) clear enough for them to see what you actually look like to minimise touting. Wouldn't want to be the guy who has to look at 40,000 pictures though

I too dislike paying for things I like and supporting artists that produce enjoyable music.

Haha, I think it'd be a great laugh! The photo I had to submit was well awful!

Well that makes sense, ok, I hope I can get one on Wednesday then!

Quick update, I've received a conformation email with a registration code and details of what to do on Wed. I've also been told my picture is approved. So, no worries there, just waiting to see what happens next.....bring on Wed

Free Finsbury Park gig played, Rage Against The Machine fly over to Dublin on June 8 for an O2 show, which goes on sale on Friday February 19. Tickets are €67.50.

The band still appear to be celebrating ‘Killing In The Name’ getting to number one at Christmas ahead of Joe McElderry’s ‘The Climb’.

Last week also found Tom Morello playing a guerilla gig outside the Disneyland Hotel in support of five employees who’ve gone on hunger strike in a bid to get better health care.

Morello in solo Nightwatchman mode performed seven songs including a cover of Woody Guthries’s ‘This Land Is Your Land’.

“Take it easy,” he said at the end, “but take it!”

Flippin' hell, the flight to London will be cheaper than the ticket for the O2!

Nope Joe did.

To anyone who is attempting to get tickets - the site is constantly down, nothing is happening, and pressing reload a million times doesn't work....the server obviously couldn't cope and the system has failed! This is complete bull**** and just goes to show you cannot depend on anything they tell you is free...I've been trying for 20 minutes haven't even been able to load the sites main page once....

Didn't help that ya could start ordering from at least 08.55....thats when I clicked the 'book here' thing for them. So cold've been before that too.

Irish Halo

Doing my nut in at the mo, however this always happens with See Tickets, their servers are crap. As much as I hate Ticketbastard at least they can run a large ticket sale like this without their servers sitting down and you know pretty quickly if you were successful or not :mad:

Mushy

I should also mention it took me 25 mins waiting to get Muse Wembley pre-sale tickets. SeeTickets fail!

jenizzle

I got a ticket - happy days

Irish Halo

After literally an hour of hitting ctrl+f5 I have tickets (waiting on confirmation email), I hate See Tickets.

Diabhal_Glas

youve given me some faith ill keep F5-ing for a while

dimejinky9

I've got 4 windows and hitting refresh..no luck so far but it's probably what everyones doin. gonna keep at it.

no, it was 8:55, i was on it at 8:50 and went live at five to nine...

Mushy

Got mine at 10.35.
EDIT: Have people got confirmation emails? And how come the country doesn't show up for the postal address?

Motley Crue

Got mine at 11.40

2hrs and 50mins after first trying....that's right folks, they are still there, but its bloody hard work;)

I can see this on Watchdog!

jenizzle

Still nowhere near as stressful as trying to buy Pearl Jam tickets through 10c - of you can survive that, then you can survive anything

Hope everyone got sorted!

Motley Crue

now it says they're gone

that's right kids, its sold out.....120,000 applied for 40000 tickets

chordtype

Got mine thanks to someone on the campaign facebook. No mention of Ireland in my address though!

quicklickpaddy

There's a B&B across from the park on Seven sisters road called the "Costello Palace". It's cheap and cheerful. There's a few others along that road that are to be avoided.

If you want a decent hotel your best bet is Islington. There's a Jurys on Pentonville rd. You can get the number 19 bus from around the corner and it'll take you to Finsbury Park Tube station,around the corner from the park.

There's a few hotels around Kings X,you can get the Victoria or Picadilly line Tube from there to Finsbury Park. Off the top of my head there's a Premier Inn,a Travelodge,a Days Inn and a Holiday Inn Express.

You have the whole city to choose from Finsbury park is really near the centre.

People seem to use St Christopher's in Camden a lot when they travel over here.

Motley Crue

It's a fairly good place for a gig in terms of travel and a place to rest my head. I reckon this will be far more cost affective then a Dublin date would have been.

YipYipU

Did y'all hear who RATM have invited to join them on stage at Finsbury?

Feckin' SUBO (Susan Boyle)

No Joke. I wonder how that's gonna go down???

chordtype

Anyone got their tickets yet?

scudzilla

Isn't this the free gig for UK fans that we're subsidizing?? :rolleyes:

chordtype

Tis the very one. Probably works out cheaper to go to London and back.

I haven't gotten mine, I'm not going anymore but I still want the ticket for collectors purposes, and yet I've not been sent it....there is a wide scale report of the same thing having happened to loads of people...obviously they need to get their act in gear

Panthro

booked my 2 days off work for this, really looking forward to it!
anyone travelling from the Dundalk side down? might have some warm up beers at some stage.

edit:
oops, just realised im heading to the 8th June gig!

As it happened, mine arrived today, nice little thing actually

So I was glad to keep it for collectors reasons

chordtype

Arrived this morning. Quite excited.

They've squashed my photo up a bit so I look like a long face fool but I'm not too worried about that.

jenizzle

My photo is quite messed up too! Very excited now though

Mushy

Haha, two days ago I didn't think I could go to this. Looks like it could be happening:D How are people getting there?
