[merged] Red Hot Chili Peppers
 

This gonna be the gig of the summer for me :D got my 3 tickets for 19/06 for Hyde Park... anyone else going ?

If you are near Manchester, tomorrow a further date on 25/06 at City of Manchester Stadium maybe announced so check www.ticketmaster.co.uk.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

wow, i am well up for that, not a bad price either

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

damn, won't let me book. Does anyone know any other sites where i can book?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I booked my tickets for the Manchester gig on Thursday morning at 9am :D :tu:

I am registered with ticketmaster and ticketline so got a special link to book the tickets early. Does say on ticketline that some more may go on sale tomorrow for Manchester

Saw them at the MEN arena last year and it was the best gig I've ever been to, can't wait to go :dmonk: :dmonk:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Saw em in 1994 at Reading. They are fantastic to watch but I must say I do prefer their older stuff. New stuff is good but it just isnt as.......funky. They are after all the funky monks.

Try www.bigmouth.co.uk for tickets.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I am desperate for these tickets.

I really hope they announce some more tomorrow, does anyone know what time new ones are normally up for sale?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Col, I might get an email saying what time if some more do go on sale, if that happens I'll forward it to you or might be worth you signing up to ticketline and/or ticketmaster.

Have just had a look on Ebay and the cheeky beggars are asking over £100 per ticket :eek: ripping people off big style, ours were £35 :upyours:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Thanks debs, just signed up to ticketline, but if you do get one can you send it anyway just to make sure. This has actually become the most important thing in the world to me at the moment. Sad eh?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Well its a no go.

An extra date for Mnachester is now doubtful, so ah well.

Have now resigned myself to not going, but looking on the bright side, Glastonbury is the week after, so i AM going to that. I will be first in the queue for tickets to that one. I am now a man on a mission

Big thanks to Debsy for trying to help me out, at one point she was even on the phone to ticket line for me, How nice is that!!! :luv:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I too am desperate for 3 tickets to this Manchester gig.
IF anyone finds somewhere that these are available please let me know.
Thanks Zoombini.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Belfast is currently selling at Ticketmaster

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Or is that just a bus tour & nothing to do with the RHCP?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Damn, nearly ended up buying 3 tickets for a bus ride there...lol

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

And here the news for all those who missed the announcement:
The Red Hot Chili Peppers will be doing a 3rd show (!) at Hyde Park as well as a show in Cardiff(Wales)this summer.
Wednesday 23rd June
Cardiff Millenium Stadium

Tickets on sale (am Saturday - unless you know somewhere that sells them beforehand..
(please please let me know if you do).

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Handy Hint: Sign up for ticketmaster/ticketline, I got an email from both of them enabling me to book on the Thursday before they went on general sale on the Saturday

however

if I get anything in the meantime I'll forward it to you :tu:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Thankyou.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Woohoo!
I'm there.
:eek:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Hope you all enjoy the Chilli's, I cant afford to go, gotta save for Glasto :eek:

Wooa, I was there too. It was a fantastic gig. I can hardly believe it's been 10 years since I was waving my tee shirt round in the air that night:D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Was it your tee shirt or bra Dodgy ?? ;) :naughty:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

It was someone else's bra :angel:

I was just looking after it :erm:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Well, me & mrs bini had a chat & we have decided that perhaps its better to wait until they have a concert at Manchester or the NEC again, Cardiff is just too far to go & would most likely take up 3 days in all (neither of us are really good at travveling far without getting really tired). And then we have the problem of what to do with the youngest kids.

Mind you, she is asking me to find out about Glastonbury too now... ah well..

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I've just had an email through offering advance booking from Thursday for the new dates, they go on general sale on Saturday.

Anyone signing upto Ticketline or Ticketmaster should get one shortly too I would imagine or if anyone would like the link PM me

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

:cool:

send me the link debs, might make some dosh reselling them on ebay!!!

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

nowt like cheek :rolleyes:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Can I have the link please, er indoors may just have a moment of indecision & get me ordering for her..

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Course you can, me and bb31 went to see Peter Kay in London and we did there and back in a day so worth thinking about :tu:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I see why your avatar is ;)

:D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I'M GOING TO SEE THE RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

obviously i'm a little happy about this.

Can i just take this time to announce my undying love to debs, she has really tried to help me get these tickets. I LOVE YOU DEBS

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Donations in plain brown envelopes are most welcome (bank notes not to have sequential serial numbers ; )

Really chuffed for you Col, I know you're going to have a great time :tu:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I hope so. Going to The millenium stadium one on rd June. I have just been walking around with a big smile on my face all day. :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Its a damn shame that there are none left for the other shows.
Unless we want to go in wheelchairs that is.
Mind you, we could at least sit down all evening & run over some toes in the pit..lol

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

OK, quick change of plan..
er indoors & no1 son are going now.... assuming we can still get tickets.

Now how to get them down there & where to stay are questuions going through our heads..
Like how much its going to cost for th train/coach etc?
nearby low cost hotels etc.

Any suggestions?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Which one are you thinking of, Hyde Park or Cardiff.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Cardiff

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Have just got off the phone to train timetable line & the cheapest will be £15 single prebooked on a Virgin train (oh no - she cant go on it then!) so for er & no1 will be £45 return.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Isn't there are holiday inn or something my the stadium. Haven't really looked for things like this myself, as its just over the bridge for me.

Have you tried to bookm the tickets yet

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Well it looks like I'm going to this event now, with the Mrs.
The kids are stopping with thier grandma, we are driving down in the early morning, getting a kip in the car before, going to it, coming out after eating a greasy buger, sleepping in the car overnight & driving back the next day.

Wahay...
Thankyou very much Debsy..

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Well sounds like you're both sorted, can sleep at night now :D

I've actually been refused holiday for the concert I'm going to :eek:

Told work to put me down as either AWOL, sick, emergency holiday or dead.... I will NOT be going in work that day ;)

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Thats sort of what the wife said too, she wont be going in either.

I'll easily be able to book it off.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

There's not a chance in hell they can do that, do they not realise how important this is. Stupid people. :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Book a dental treatment for the middle of that day, take the booking in, arrange it off (they cannot refuse time off for dental treatment AFAIKR), then cancel the treatment.

Given the advance notice, what was thier reply for why they were refusing the day off?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

On the team that I'm on only 2 people are allowed off and it's been booked already :rolleyes:

however cos they know that I will NOT be going in, they will arrange for my day off that week to be the Friday. I only get my shifts a week ahead so should be easy enough for them to do. I think I made my point very clear :rofl: Chili Peppers 1 Work 0

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Isnt it on the Wensday though?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Cardiff is on a wednesday, but Debs is going to The Manc one on the 18th :)

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

:D :D along with bb31 and several tins containing an alcohol beverage :beer:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Of course. I remember going to see Massive Attack, and them consficating all bottles of water (it was a really really hot day) over a ceratin height as we were walking in.

My mates found it funny how they would not let them in with water but the drugs they were carrying on them at the time were fine!!!

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I've got this vision in my head of a beautiful summers day, not a cloud in the sky, me wearing shorts and t-shirt and watching my fellas whilst drinking lots of beer :drunk:

however

the reality will be another rainy day in Manchester, huddled under an umbrella with bb31 and my beer being confiscated on the way in :cry:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

dunno it will be June..........actually yeah you may be right. Oh well

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

woooooooo hooooooooooo yeh yeh roll on june 18th cant wait

:beer:
:beer:
:beer:
:drunk: :drunk: :drunk:

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Going to the Manchester one?
Wanna swap? lol

That one would have been perfect, but oh no they wont lay any more gigs on up here will they, London gets more but the fans up north just get to whistle ...... :(

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Ere!

I just looked on Ebay & they are all over the place.

I could get 2 tickets to Manchester for what I paid for Cardiff.

Albiet standing & I dont think er indorrs will mind that, it gets her closer to Ant. :swoon

:banghead::dmonk: :dmonk::dmonk: :wavey: :dmonk: :dmonk: :dmonk: :banghead:Guess which ones me...:D

By the way, anyone know any decent little campsites nearby (or somewhere I can "park" the car overnight)?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I think its rediculous, i just looked at ebay to see 2 manc tickets at over 1 hundred pounds. there would be no way i would pay that amount when they originally cost £35 each

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Well I paid £103+ for 2 tickets to Cardiff & thats the original ticket price.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I have standing ones not seated, i think they were £45 each aren't they, plus agency fee's so yeah thats about right. The thing is, the ones on Ebay are still going and it is likely that they will go up

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I saw RHCP in Slane last year, you're in for a fantastic show!

That was a great day out, Feeder, QOTSA, Foo Fighters.....

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Thats a point, does anyone know who is supporting them?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Nothing known about the support acts , but mate of my gf's paid out £227 for 2 tickets for a london show hah.... i paid £120 for 3 for the same show BEFORE it went on general sale :-)......

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

£227!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: oh my god, i just about paid that, but i bought 6 tickets (greedy aren't i)

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

OH BUGGER!

I got my tickets.
Seats in area M25.

Thats BEHIND the stage!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
What do you recon my chances of them swapping them when I ring up?

Having ordered & paid for them in advance I shouldn't have been given seats behind the damn stage!
Grrrrrrr!

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

:eek: behind the stage, whats that all about......... not got mine yet but as far as i know it's standing for us which on second thoughts when you're only 5' 3" might not be the best plan in the world

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

After ringing them up it appears that the stage is at the other end of the stadium I.E. opposite to the diagram on the website.

So we are in the far corner instead..
Not sure which is best :(

Would much rather have gone to the Manchester event.
I need to start looking for accommodation for the night now...

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

The tickets have come out? OOOOH i'm starting to get excited now :) :)

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

YEp, but still no info on who is supporting them..

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Ah well, should be someone good any way. Can't see the Chillis have a load of **** supporting them

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Busted!!!! :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I am going to see them in Cardiff. Saw them in Glasgow last year. They were fantastic.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Take it back. Take it back NOW!!!!!

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

*dreams of californication.....* :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Think positively. Its 2 months and 8 days for me, shorter for the manc lot (grrr) see that sounds better doesn't it?

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

It fell off ;)

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I dont suppose anyone knows how to say the ying yang yong ding dong bit that Ant comes out with in "Around the World"?

I'm trying to get my chops round it & failing miserably...

Tnx for the hotel links - am looking.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I tried ringing Ticketmaster to see if they knew & they said it was too early to know... :(

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I've been looking on the RHCP website but no news at yet :(

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

What, you rang TicketMaster to find out how to do the Bit much isn't it? ;)

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I think the phone call was to find out what suporting bands there were..

The ing yang is just one of those bits thats a bit of a tongue twister.. :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

still no tickets!!! anyone know who is supporting yet ??

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

I have my Ticket for Cardiff. Still no info on support act. only a few weeks to go now. can't wait. still not arranged some where to stay in Cardiff though.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Ditto everything Darthyoda said.
IF you find somewhere cheap enough to stay please let me know, I should be getting round to looking too.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Got my three tickets at home and ready for Hyde Park :D not long to go.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Ta but I'm not keen on spending that much...lol

I'd rather go in a tent, but er indoors isnt too keen.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Just under one month for me. I'm off to Cardiff, and yes i have my tickets. Bon't worry BB31 they will be along soon enough. I check every bleeding day for support acts, but still no luck. You can bet whoever it is though they will be good

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

im about to buy tickets, which venue would be best london or cardiff or MURRAYFIELD. (im travelling from teeside)

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

ABOUT?

What you mean about?

I thought that they were sold off within the first 5 mins?

I dont think that you will get either, unless your in a wheelchair.

EDIT: Forgot about the exhorbitant prices charged on Ebay etc.

Which venue will be closer to you?
I should imagine whats on will be the same.

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

u be lucky to get tickets under £500 :D

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Cardiff is still available

Re: Red Hot Chili Peppers :D
 

Ive just bought 3 tickets (cardiff) from ticketmaster for £35 each :D , there are also some for london!

They were sold out but they have just put some more up for sale.
I should imagine whats on will be the same.
