Their gig in the Point in like 2002 (or whenever it was)

November 27th 2001.

They were awful at Slane, magnificent in 2001. What were they like at Oxegen? My fear is that they're hit and miss live. Whoever was asking about Everlong - they'll play this as their last track before the encore - they always do methinks.

Also I went into town for the tickets on the Saturday morning and they kindly told us we were six days early - I wasn't a happy pappy. How much are tickets anyway? - I never checked.

Tickets are €44 before charges/fees.

They were solid at Oxegen. The old songs sounded fabulous but I wasn't overwhelmed by the new material. If the point gig consists of alot of new material I fear it may not be great.

Ro: maaan! · 13-09-2005 11:07PM

It's on the same day as Blondie anyway, so won't be there.

susanna · 14-09-2005 01:50PM

The presale is for people who have signed up to the Foos mailing list. I've just got the email, presale tomorrow from 9am to 5pm

logistic · 15-09-2005 09:20AM

Anyone manage to get pre sale tickets. My link isnt working anymore?

Ciaran* · 15-09-2005 09:26AM

The presale works if you keep trying. You can even get to it from the main page.

*edit* They've just password protected it.

wes · 15-09-2005 09:32AM

Ah just managed to order mine there

. Yeah Jammyness!!! Got confirmation email as well.

susanna · 15-09-2005 09:45AM

After six tries I eventually got them

Zapho · 15-09-2005 10:11AM

This is fantastic! Although, I wonder if I'm gonna have the time to see them in Dec.
They were excellent at Oxegen, love their new songs. I've watched some of their indoor gigs, and they seem to put on better show, so I'd say definately expect a quality gig in the point

wes · 15-09-2005 10:13AM

Saw them at Witnness and Slane a couple years back and I taught they were fantastic both times. So I reckon the gig will be a good time

Did anybody manage to get tickets for the left and right balcony's this morning, all that they were offering were the back

logistic · 16-09-2005 09:26AM

During the pre sale you were able to get tickets for the left balcony (block E) but i havent seen on sale for the right balcony (block C)

Ive been trying to get right balcony (block C) tickets with no joy. I havent seen them on sale at all. Have anyone else been able to get them??

Dr4gul4 · 16-09-2005 09:33AM

yea dat's also annoying i was signed up to there mailing list and didnt get an e-mail with the password

mickymg2003 · 16-09-2005 07:11PM

Got my tickets today.no problem.But im down with the rest of the commoners in the standing area.no fancy balcony for me!!!I thought they would have sold out by now.

Pitseleh · 16-09-2005 07:53PM

Now I may be missing something but I figured the standing tickets were the "good ones" - bit more atmosphere and stuff, no? Personally I'd go with the ol' standing ticket every time

snickerpuss · 17-09-2005 02:27PM

^
Same here.
Can't wait to go again, they were great in the point in 01, but pretty dodgey at oxegen but hopefully this time they'll be good again.

wes · 17-09-2005 02:46PM

Gotta agree with the lads there, the standing tickets are fair more fun.

idontknowmyname · 18-09-2005 10:45AM

got my ticket yesterday- can't wait- love all the songs but Stacked Actors is my favourite go mad jumping around to song. Seen them Oxegen 2005 and Witness 2002- can't wait!!!!!!!!!

the flananator · 18-09-2005 12:34PM

Got my standing tix on Friday. Can't wait. Can anyone confirm who they're being supported by?

Oh thats what i was going to ask but i forgot so does anybody know whos supporting?

carpothepunk · 18-09-2005 09:17PM

support is confirmed as eagles of death metal and the futureheads

fearcruach · 18-09-2005 09:35PM

Will there be a pit in the point? I've never been before and could anyone who has been at a gig in the point fill me in?

Pitseleh · 18-09-2005 10:39PM

There was for the Foos in 2002 when they last played the point. I haven't seen or heard of a pit in the Point for a while though. Then again I saw R.E.M. and Radiohead there most recently.

The Eagles of Death Metal aren't playing. The Futureheads are on the poster though.

weemcd · 19-09-2005 08:21PM

ffs.

Eagles are a big draw for me tbh, ive debs coming up but i was planning on buying tickets in a few weeks. Presuming of course they are still on sale by then.

.ak · 20-09-2005 11:57PM

Got my tickets. Standing all the way. None of this sitting crap.

Could you imagine if they mirrored their supporting act from the states/uk. Weezer supporting? I would've creamed myself, and probably everyone else in the pit too.

I remember Dave saying at the Olympia gig in 2000 "If you want to sit down and watch rock 'n' roll, then rent the Woodstock video."

Foo Fighters Point gig!
