cant get the links to come to this site, but if you go to seetickets.com, you will find them there.

Woohoo, made my fuckin day.  :beer:

I can't find it...I searched under artist and venue?  I must be doing something wrong.


Edit: I found them on another site. 

This one?

http://www.livenation.co.uk/search/intermediateSearch/searchstring/velvet%20revolver/

seems to be lot smaller venues this time around. Can't believe their playing a university! Think i'll see them at manchester apollo again.

i think half those dates won't happen.

mainly due to the venues not being able to deal with it.

Monday 17/3/08 Velvet Revolver Manchester Apollo Manchester
Wednesday 19/3/08 Velvet Revolver Carling Academy Newcastle Newcastle
Thursday 20/3/08 Velvet Revolver Carling Academy Glasgow Glasgow
Saturday 22/3/08 Velvet Revolver Rock City Nottingham
Tuesday 25/3/08 Velvet Revolver Carling Academy Brixton London
Thursday 27/3/08 Velvet Revolver Brighton Centre Brighton

that is a more likely line up of dates, but i still think rock city and the brighton center will be taken off and hammersmith will be added.

remember blackpool was on the last set of tour dates for the UK and that didn't happen.

live nation have pulled the page and 2 of the venues have told me it's cancelled.

Ive got tickets for Leeds!

nice it's a really small place if i was in the UK for that date  i'd have got tickets for leeds uni too.

Dublin has also been added on the 12th march, tickets go on sale tomorrow

The ambassador seems like a small venue considering they pretty much filled the point 2 yrs ago..

Whats the capacity? 2000??

it's not at rock city...where'd you hear that?!?
would of been amazing but not true
:(

i have to get tickets for manchester

i have been to every tour they have been on in the UK

its weird how they are not playing the MEN this time, maybe a summer tour at the MEN and bigger arenas?

Why is it weird?

Yet but they're having two gigs. They presumably want to play more smaller venues this time - so two small gigs rather one big gig. The Point is out of action at the moment anyway.

Damn, I so want to see em again, this time in leeds. But I don't know if I can find anyone to go with, and going alone would really suck. Hopefully i can convince some people, from college although they all like sucky music.

that was up on livenation about 3 days before the new dates were announced

personally i prefer the smaller more intimate venues as opposed to arenas

I've got tickets to the Brighton show!

bit of a come down to be playing carling academys when the last time they played arenas.

because they did their promo tour back in july, would have thought it would be followed by an aerna tour like last time

To play in arenas that might not even be half full?


/jarmo

The only thing that pisses me off in all this is why there?s so many UK dates and so little in other european countries?? It ain?t fair!  :no:

just give it some time, the Amsterdam gig was only released a week ago, I'm sure they'll do other countries in Europe aswell..they probably just haven't announced them yet. as for the UK, the UK always has a lot of concert from bands because they're touring the entire country, not just one city..

they were plenty full last time, and VR's fan base, has grown since last time

Really? I had no idea they're an arena band.....


How come there's still tickets for the London show available?

If they were an arena band, shouldn't they be able to sell out Brixton Academy in a couple of days?

Leeds University, Manchester Apollo and Glasgow Academy all have tickets available. I didn't bother checking the rest....




/jarmo

Fair point, and i dont think they sold many aernas out last time, but they were far from empty

Just wondered after promoting the album in july, maybe they would go on a arena tour also, like they did last time

or maybe they learnt they can't sell enough tickets for that

or maybe they just prefer smaller venues, which i also prefer for them

Well, as far as I can tell, last time they were hyped a lot more and their album was selling way more than the current one.





/jarmo

from what iv been told they not bothered about arenas so much-they like small clubs where they can see the people they playing to.
sure its allways cool to do arenas but these guys have played stadiums.....the saying
"been there,dont that,got the t-shirt" comes to mind.
who cares where their playing......at least they are.

libertad sold better in the UK than contraband, also reached a higher chart position in the first week

libertad came out here?

lol that was kinda evil.  :hihi: As far as I know, the album did quite well there in England!

It debuted higher than Contraband in the UK, which seems to be the only major market where that happened.

It still doesn't mean there's a bigger demand in the UK for VR than in 2004-2005....




/jarmo

Well no... I don?t think their fan base grew much around the world with the new album... but still I?m quite sure there loads of people who wants to see them here in Europe... although may not be enough to fill arenas... yeah.

to be honest i think alot of people were going to see them solely to see slash. and now that novelty has worn off it's not as easy to sell tickets.

Thats why Im going, if Slash wasnt in the Band I dont think Id bother - I have both of the albums the 1st is good the 2nd is patchy but listenable.
BTW I thought when VR played the UK in summer 2007, they played the Apollo In Manchester? Just after Download.
I remember them playing MEN Areana in 2005

thats correct  : ok:

Thats something they say to try and cover for the fact that they can't sell out bigger places.

cool!? :D that's the same reason to why D don't play arenas either? :yes:

Got my tickets to Brigton and am staying at the Travel lodge on the beach, anyone know any good late licence bars with a decent rock, indie theme to them where we can go party afterwards.
