Just booked my hotel and train ticket.

im there

i'll be there.

i'll be obvious to all the other members that go as i'll be the giant fish.

I'm there!

It's gonna be interesting to see how GNR cope with the famous dodgy acoustics in the SECC.

I'm there!!!!, got my tickets pre-sale yesterday, maybe gonna book a hotel, is there gonna be a pre or post show party anywhere?  :beer:

I'll be there. This will be the finest Friday night in a long long time. : ok:

The SECC blows, I'm a little worried.

ticketmaster don't seem to be showing any tickets left. However, secctickets.com does have standing and seating left. Just in case you're panicking!

Me too. SECC has better sound now

i heard that the SECC show was sold out now

Nope, secctickets.com still has tickets. Only single seats and standing though.

Selling better than Iron Maiden tho!

Probably sell out in the week. The crowd's gonna go fucking nuts!!!!

First post, but add me to the list!  I'll be at the secc.  Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hows this for a strange coincidence?

I'm gonnie see GN'R for the first time, 3 years to the day after I joined this site.

 :-X

I bought a ticket for this last Wed :)

funny enough ill be there too ;D

I will be there too  :peace:

I wonder why Bach isn't making the trip north as support.

He's in Japan with his band for a 2-day festival. This runs in between the dates he's doing with GN'R.

It's worth cancelling for the Glesga banter.   : ok:

Although on getlive.co.uk under the 'support act' heading it does say Bach is supporting GN'R too. Mmmm, sure his official site is correct however.

anyone recieved tickets yet for the secc? I have bought em but don't actually have anything in my hands yet?   :rofl:

Don't expect anything till 2/3 weeks before gig at earliest. Think these could be souvenir tix.

I will try to be there... if I find a way to come from Zagreb, Croatia to Glasgow :)

edit: no, I won't... SOLD OUT!  :'(

Great news!

But you can still get seating tix on ticketmaster (singles only I believe) But this is good to see that they can still attract a big audience. Don't think they've opened up the whole seating area though. Maybe this will come later?

I was at secctickets.co.uk or similar and it says SOLD OUT... will try ticketmaster. or wait. still bigger issues i how to come to Glasgow... I can get pretty cheap air ticket to London, but then what? ...

searching... :-\

You can get very cheap flights from London to Glasgow, I did this last week for the Apollo gig.

thanks for the heads up :P... I bought tickets for London on Sunday 30th... so I am moving to another thread... I wish I could see Glasgow, but maybe in 2007 on Chinese Democracy tour  :'(

ticketmaster still have seted tickets  : ok:

this is gonna be massive!!!!! is there gonna be a pre event meet up somewhere? don't think i'll need alcohol on this one I'll be high as a kite

but only 1 by 1, no 2 seats together and uhm, I would get killed if I went all the way alone and a wife stays home... you understand :P

lucky day, it's my birthday! ;D

Standing tickets went back on sale today. I got one for my mate and was told that they will start getting sent out (by SECC anyway) 4 weeks before gig. So the end of next week! Excellent!

Cool. Im bringing down some mates this time  : ok:

I'm going too! Hot on the heels of the Download Festival!  :peace: Kinda gutted Baz aint gonna be performing though, I'll just know not to go in time for BFMV!

And yeah, is the thing sold out? I went on the SECC website and it said availability of tickets was still good?!

Was sold out (ticketmaster's allocation has fully gone) but secc still has standinf tix only left. Seating is all gone as far as I'm aware.
Can't wait for the first GN'R Scottish show now!

I will be there too, just ordered ticket. Where is pre and post HTGTH party at?

Looks like it's 'sold out' again, according to ticketmaster and SECCtickets.com. No doubt more tix will go back on sale later.

But hopefully it will actually sell out!

When I bought mine off SEE they were going to post but I said I would collect at venue.? I checked the tracker there and it says "trying to get your tickets sent to the venue".. wording quite scary! surely it should say "sending tickets to venue" ???

Seems to be a massive 2 tickets left on secctickets.com! Just checked and you can't get three of more, but 1 or 2 is possible. Get 'em while they're hot!

seems to be sold out now. Advert in todays (21/6/06) Kerrang! says its sold out

are we having a pre-event meet up somewhere? or are we just joining the Q at lunchtime at the SECC?  :beer:
no doubt it'll be "rocksteady" event security (don't even get me started) so don't expect any nice security when you get to the front of the Q. The last show i went to at the secc they wern't too bothered about cameras but will take a disposable anyway  : ok:

not looking forward to the opening act/s? but need to be down the front for this one  :rofl:

I'm flying up Wed night, and am meeting some friends beforehand to catch up as I ain't seen them in about 6 months. SECC isn't really that close to pubs in city centre (well no pubs just round the corner really) so may park the motor at SECC (as they charge you 3.50 all day anyway, not just during shows) and then walk back into town.

Where did you order your tickets from if you don't mind me asking?

Cool, some of my mates are coming from there. The ones I got in pre-sale will be longer though :-(

They souvenir tix or anything?

Got my tix thru! Woo!
Souvenir ones too!

1 month to the day!

Anyone who ordered through ticketmaster got their tix yet?

WoooHOOOO!!!

How cool is that hologram stamp of official ticketyness!!

How do you guys get your tickets already??? No other UK show did.  :rant:

Looking good! Still waiting on mine...

i  do not know where they are...

The post I hope!

iv got my 2 tickets aswell, wont be long now

That is quite a freaky coincidence.

My freind got *2489  :confused:

mine haven't arrived yet, gettin quite panikey  ??? got em on pre-sale

Me too, typical ticketmaster mate. They will come, best question is when!

Need them within 2 weeks for me going back up to Scotland!

Appears as if my tickets via ticketmaster have been sent! On my account screen it doesnt mentioned that they are in the process of being printed anymore! Oh I so hope this is the case!!

I contacted see tickets and all tickets have been despatched to venue and homes etc

Anyone meeting for pint in Glasgow - london meet and greet is putting us to shame :beer:

I got a confirmation e-mail this morning from ticketmaster saying the tickets were being delivered today  :beer:

nope not looking forward to BFMV i bought their last album last week, and it was ok untill the "singer" started shouting RAAAAAAAAHHHH etc. Thought the band was ok, double kick drums and decent riffs, but the constant shouting gets tiresome. As most support acts get trashed on tours like these, I'm not expecting much

Will be at the secc early, doors open at 7 as far as I know , I need to be near the front. day booked off work. new tour t-shirt arrived yesterday from play.com. Can't wait!!!

Yeah, ticketmaster even confirmed that I had SMS or something sending the tickets to me. Hopefully get them today or tomorrow. Be a big relief, not a big fan of ticketmaster its fair to say.

EDIT: Got 'em! Woo!!

Just got my ticket!

Same here and I notice we have a 6.30pm show start rather than the usual 7.30pm. They must be trying to ensure they are off the stage for 11pm before the SECC cut the power  ;D

tickets arrived Friday past  :beer: pretty smart souvineer tickets too   :drool:
day off work so by the time I get up and travel to Glasgow we're looking at between 4 and 5pm, join the Q, get padded down by Rocksteady have a dodgy BSE burger for ?5 have a look at the merchendise and get a space near the front. Fall asleap during BFMV the its time to ROCK \mm/ \mm/   :peace:

Probably get in around 7 or so, after getting all my mates. Gonna spend my day off in a bar probably catching up with my mates who I ain't seen in so long.

I'm gonna try and get there around 3pm in Glasgow, head to the SECC around 5pm.

looks like the secc have tickets still for sale on their website. Ticketmaster is sold out tho. Glad I have mine in hand
can't wait 2 weeks to go  :beer:

15 days people. Woo!

Can't fucking wait till this concert! Do you guys think the SECC will have a curfew on times? I've seen a few bands there, but none with the unpredictability of GN'R!!  :hihi:

I heard somewhere it was 11 but I'm sure it's a case of whether the venue has the balls to do so. Let's hope not!

Sure their curfew was extended for Radiohead who played till half past 11, so u never know.

Fuck's sake like. Mon the 21st!


I'm getting impatient  :D

curfue on the SECC is 11pm  :-\ thats why the show starts early  : ok: (hopefully)

can't wait!!

Well if GN'R are on time, it just leaves more time for me to hit Glasgow and get wasted!!! : ok:

When I went to see Motley Crue there was like an after party, I got a flyer in Glasgow City Centre, I wonder if there will be anything planned for GN'R, like a place for fans to go after the gig!

I hope there is something on alright, Im flying over from Ireland on my own, all mates or broke and not dedicated enough to the GNR cause!

I last thing I wanna do is go to my Hotel after a GNR gig :crying:

I don't know if this venue is sold out but I have a spare standing ticket - going at face value, obviously.? Send a pm if interested.

cyllan

SECC now lists the gig as SOLD OUT. Hell yeah!!

Hope all those touts on ebay end up having to sell their tix for a fiver. Serve em right for taking the tix off real fans!
I'll be in Waxy's prior to the gig I think, where's everyone else going?

is Izzy coming to the UK  ??? that would be awsome

That's what I've been wondering. I really hope he does!

I know I may get shot down but if he does it technically means I will have seen the UYI GN'R on the same stage! (VR played Hall 4 last year). Hehe.

I am pro-new GN'R though!

went to the VR show as well, enjoyed it but there were loads of kids there  :rofl:
went in was only 3 rows from the front, the datsons (?) came on and suddenly i was about 10 rows back and I haddent mooved my feet. I've waited years to see this band and want it to be a great gig so no bloody, kicking, pushin or shovein of  :rofl:

8 days to go and I'm pumped, got a warm up for it this weekend.

nothing will keep me from this gig

Yeah, I got the chilis in London on Sat as a warm-up. Gunners is definitely the gig I'm most pumped for though.

Can't wait to get back home next week to start getting ready for it!

(Hopefully Mr Izzy Stradlin will be there to make for lack of a second support act!)

Actually the SECC will have the best support act in music there in the form of Glasweigan crowd banter  : ok:

It would make sense for me to go seeing as Glasgow is only about 40 miles away, but I saw them in Dublin instead. Weird.

Do you think there will be ticket touts outside on the night?

A couple of freinds are suddenly realising they are going to miss out.

I would say most likely.


I remember last summer at VR some chinese guy at the door went to me "Some pills?......No?........Ticket?"

Ebay is showing so many folk trying to flog their tickets for profit. Sick!
I think there's too many touts so your friends may get one cheap. Alternatively, try www.scarletmist.com where people sell their tix at face value : ok:

3 days, wow!

My mate just bought two tickets for ?75 off E-Bay I think. That means the bastard got them cheaper than me!

I think they may chance they're arm and see if they are any on the night outside.
I have reservations on whether any ordered online now would arrive in time.

I have 1 spare standing ticket for the glasgow show at face value....if any fans are interested in not getting screwed by touts  then can arrange to meet, either b4 show or in city earlier in day. Can supply moby nos.
      Is there any plan for a HTGTH pre or post concert meet up?

well folks tommorrows the big day  :beer: Gonna be a long day and a long wait but it'll all be worth it hopefully

stock up on liquids as its gonna be hot, damm hot (nice if your a lady, no good if you're in the jungle!)  :drool:

by the looks of things the t-shirts are gonna be expensive (around ?20) so raid your piggy bank.

expect some big ques at the SECC and don't expect the security to be nice

Doesn't look like theres a meet up before hand so will see you in the Q, conseal your cameras and only unopened bottles are allowed in.

So Bullet for my Valentine is the only support act tomorrow?

No sebastion Bach?

Does that mean GN'R will go on earlier and all us crazy motherfucking Scottish Rock Gods are going to get an extra long show?

Man I am so pumped.

yeah unfortunally bullit for my fcukin brain is the only support. Mr Bach is in Japan (i think) for some festival.
My tickets say doors open 17.30  :beer:
Izzy played last night, so just maybe he'll make an appearance up here  : ok:

I'll be there at around 6pm ready for the long wait  ;D I'm getting excited already.

Add me to the list too!

What time you reckon they'll come on this time?

Bachs definitley not gonna be there, he's playin the UDO festival in Japan on Saturday and few other dates there and then joining back up with Guns on the 25th in Birmingham.

Will this just mean BFMV will go on later than scheduled?

I don't wanna go that early coz t's ?3 a pint in there and the B***ards probably won't allow us to drink in the hall

I just got an e-mail from ticketmaster ?:hihi:


like I'm gonna forget ?:hihi:

was at motley crew last year and they let you drink in the arena, it was 4 pints for ?8  :beer: :drool:
won't be drinking as will be driving and don't want to miss anything when I'm peeing

Towers Of London has been added as a support act for this gig.


/jarmo

quality   :beer:

I've been able to drink beer in the hall at all concerts I've attended at the SECC so all should be ok. I'm driving so I shall not be drinking.

I'm in no rush to enter the venue as we will have a long long wait.

Cool, sometimes they add that "Over 14s" thing to the gig and they stop alcohol being taken in. That happened at Offspring a couple of years ago as well as Limp Bizkit and they tried to stop some people taking beer in at the Darkness too and AC/DC , idiots.

Hopefully there won't be any beer issues!

towers of london are jerks. bigtime. only my opinion though - I sincerely hope Glasgow rocks to the sky tomorrow night and shows our Guns what amazing people us Scots are and much we love to ROCK.  I am most excited about the updates and Axl comments from this gig than nearly any other.  at last, guns in scotland!  and I cant go  :'(   

enjoy people!   :beer:

Who the hell is towers of london?

Man, I'm going to be so drunk by the time GN'R come on, think Axl will let me have a kip at the side of the stage?

http://thetowersoflondon.com/

not bad, they are better than BFMV but whover it was going to be GnR will wipe the floor with them

some sound clips on the website, think their biggest radio "hit" has been  "how rude she was"

sort of punk/hair metal/heavy rock sound, they certainly look the part but I've never really heard them before

Jesus, that was painful. They are really bad, and what is up with the Rod Stewart wigs?

 :hihi:


I want to get as close to the front as possible. Anyone know what time the first people in the Q usually get there?

Chris pittman usually arrives about 4ish.

I'll arrive at quarter to then. Just to see the annoyed look on his face.

Oh man, he is gonnie be so pissed :rofl:

Almost time!

leaving in 1 hour   :beer: :beer: :drool:

Feckin awesome show, I loved every minute of it  : ok: Both the crowd and band were fantastic.

Axl Rose should be ashamed of himself, after leaving people standing there in that god awful heat for two hours there was a massive crush, "both the crowd and the band were fantatic" there were fights all over the place, my younger borther got caught up in the surge when the lights went down and the next thing he remembers is waking up on a stretcher with an oxygen mask over his face.

I hold Axl Rose personally responsible, this would not have happened if there had not been a 2 hour delay and the crowd were p****d off, maybe in future he should give his fans some consideration instead of sitting backstage eating roast lamb and massaging his oversized ego.

This is one life long fan who will never again part with their hard earned cash to see gnr.

If you?re such a fan you should have been ready for this, like you didn?t know that along the entire tour Axl?s been showing up late.... what a fan!!

I thought 10pm was a great time for them to start, slightly earlier than I'd expected. late starts should be no surprise to anyone who is a gnr fan.

I fully expected it, doesn't mean I wasn't annoyed by it. It's very different saying to someone "you should have expected it!" than actually being there.

I am sorry to hear about your younger brother! Things like that should not happen, but... how do you know for sure what happened and who you are to judge Mr. Rose for 'sitting backstage eating roast lamb and massaging his oversized ego'... you have no idea what was going on. only security bla, bla and newspaper bla, bla... maybe that is what happened, maybe it isn't... those people need stories to tell because they have such a boring lifes... you knew it would start after 10. you had a choice... you could go to the concert or you could stay home... your chice was to be there... no one forced you.

In Dublin, they FINISHED at 10:10. How come the other shows have started so late?

I think the Dublin authorities are more strict about curfews...they won't let you buy it off....like in othet countries/cities.

Dude there is always a massive surge at the start of a GN'R show - its Welcome To The Jungle for gods sake. People go mental, people would have gone just as mental if there wasnt a wait before hand last night.
You should have known that and you should not have let your younger brother down there, its a dangerous place wait or no wait.
A couple of my female freinds were there last night and they bought seated tickets. Why?
Because they know that at standing 5 feet tall in a rock concert it is extremely dangerous,  and it is very easy to get swept away, crushed and battered and lost under a sea of bodies.

You should have known, and if you didn't and this was your first ever hard rock concert - learn from it!! Because they are all like that.

GN'R were always going to come on between half 9 and 10 o'clock. It wasnt that much of a delay, fuck sake I never even got there till 9pm, when there is 2 support bands, you know that the main act wont be till late.


Axl was not to blame for your brother getting hurt.

The show was class man.  i didnt witness any trouble everyone around where we was standin was just havein a good time rockin :smoking:

Hi everyone!  Sounds like it was a good show!

Does anyone have a pic of Axl wrapped up in the Scottish flag?

good show. hope everyone had as good a time as me.

god I hope so!  that, I would love to see!

I managed to miss getting a photo of him wearing the flag by a matter of seconds :(

awwwww - close one!  I'll see if I can find one from anyone else who went -  I'd love to see that!

Unfortunately I didn't. My pockets were sealed to my legs by the sweat of being to the front. I won't be home to upload the photos from my fone for several weeks now unfortunately, but you guys are better photographers than me from what I can see!

Great concert....a few points. I think the delay in gnr coming on stage till 2205 would have been more acceptable if the 2 hour gap had shown some videos or something rather than just bland tunes with 30 second gaps between every tune. I had no problem with near 150 mins show, I knew it would end late but it did piss me off that I missed so much of the Dublin show as they went on there so damn early...just goes to show you can never please everyone whatever time you start! The 1 negative was the really bad gap in proceedings come up to November Rain where there was just nothing happening, then when the boos started axl saying you can all catch the bus home if you want was very sarcy...then he just faffed around on the piano for about 10 minuntes before starting november rain....it was just pushing it a little as that must have been about a 15-20 mins gap in the middle of the concert between songs. Another thing, why the hell didnt they sing the vocals to 'dont cry' rather than just do the guitar?...a wasted opportunity. Nightrain was yet again the show stealer.

I dont think it was quite 10 minutes, probably about 3-4 minutes but he always does that before November Rain...and it was only a few that booed and there were cheers when axl came back with the sarcy remark...

i thought it was great that everyone was singing to dont cry tho...

and i didnt notice a gap of 15 minutes between songs

strange how others percieve it differently

are there any more mp3's of the glasgow shows that have turned up? or pics?

I found this drunk legend to sing Don't Cry with  :hihi:


At the end where Axl does that "Uuuhhhhhhhh" part, the drunk guy and me were singing it then he started like poking my adam's apple to get the proper vibrating effect  :hihi:


Def the best crowd you could hope to experience a gig with, me and my mates were talking about the drive back home to Inverness, and this guy and his mates infront turned around and said "Ho! We're fae there too maaan!" It's such a small world sometimes.

i was at this gig also absloutly awesome Axl and new g n r totaly rocked and i fully expected them to be late when welcome to the jungle kicked in the scottish rock massive went mental one of the best nights this year for me personally although went to download 06 which was a totaly awesome weekend met loads of kl ppl if anyone remembers me from that weekend my names mark was in blue campsite : ok:

Hi listen dude the thing u have got to expect at a G'N'R gig is that Axl will come on whenever he wants and Welcome To The Jungle is going to be the song that gets the crowd jumpin, l mean l was at that gig and l nearly got crushed but it was a good night even though l was shoved and battered. next time u go to a G'N'R gig expect this to happen because it will l mean that was my first G'N'R gig and l did'nt expect to be shoved around but l stood there and took it.

Sorry To hear about your brother.

I just wanted to say that after going to 14 shows, this has got to have been one of the most dangerous and roughest out of the lot. I personally don't care how late the band go on, but the people of Glasgow where going mental. There were fights breaking out in the audience, and bottles being thrown.

I remember a lady next to me telling the steward ''just tell them to come on'' as if he could of done that. Then after another hour passed she told him ''they don't understand glasgow people, if they take any longer, the crowd will riot and start fighting''.

This was the only concert so far that I genuinely thought a riot could break out at any minute. Just as it was getting really bad, the lights dimmed and the intro music started. Needless to say during jungle the crowd was going nuts, about 30 people were carried over the barriers during the first 2 songs, then luckily Axl stopped to tell the crowd to step back. (Thanks Axl)

It was an amazing night that just avoided being ruined by the crowd. And yes I do mean most of them.  :hihi:
