"Blink 182 standing tickets sold out?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

This made me laugh, the standing tickets for Blink 182's wembely arena gig sold out and they aren't even on sale until Saturday. Blink allowed you, through their website, to book the tickets two days earlier. Wasn't publicised or well known but now they have all sold out. Standing anyway.

Now I'm lucky to have ordered mine at 9:38, 8 minutes after going on sale, and I've got mine coming. But does anyone know if these "pre-released" tickets are just short-supply ones? It is just my Brother really wishes to go but they've sold out as he didn't know that through a single site you can get hold of them.

Is it likely when they go on general release on saturday that standing tickets will be avalible again.

He blames me for not ordering the tickets for him... what does he think I'm made of money?

Live performances just aren't about as many instruments and moshing is going on. Sure, its impossible NOT to get caught up in a performance, but it's not ever about how makes the liudest noise etc.

RATM would be far more powerful than Slipknot et al because;

A) They were actually good
B) They had some insanely good songs that actually meant something
C) I think Zac De La Rocha jumping around next to Tom Morello would send most rock fans into a spasm of delight anyway...

:D

I'll take that back.

It depends on the band playing and if they sound good there. Bands that like to do small club shows don't suit Wembley Arena.

And it sucks anyway.

Now, that looks stupid.

Unfortunately, yes.
Not by my own accord mind, they just happened to be one of the bands playing at a festival thingy I went to with my friend.

There was NO atmosphere, it was just a bunch of 13 year-old idiots moshing like idiots. I doubt they even noticed the music, which was also awful.

Blink 182 are hilarious live, they talk to the croud as if they are small in minority. The banter that exists amongst the two is great and they play very fast on stage.

They are also incredible at making songs up on the spot. A truly amazing live performance they did at Leeds festival...

Their new stuff is ten times more mature and deep and this therefore means we'll be hearing more Blink classics like stay together for the kids.

Will be the best show on the earth.

You would love The Polyphonic Spree then.

I had a mate who spent weeks convincing me to download something by the polyphonic spree. It lasted about 2 minutes on my hard drive.

See them live and then come back to me, I hated them when I heard them on MTV2, but there's just something compelling about them live, you can do nothing but smile.

They're a bit mad are the spree.

But it's all good fun.
