SaltyTON Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Sorry should have added , it was the tickets from seetickets.com Correct mine didn't say it either. We got taken aback when the Aussie guy asked us our age, he didn't ID us though but we're 26 and 28, pretty ridiculous! I will be reporting the Apollo 23 when I get into work next week. It most certainly breached Health and Safety regulations in regards to temperature and I'm surprised no-one passed out through the heat in that place! I'm surprised that there wasn't violence (well the geeky audience made it a bit unlikely) but it was pathetic opening the doors at half 7, then them not coming out until 9 o'clock despite the place being full, it being hotter than the warm side of Mercury (worse than the Corn Exchange!) and there being no support act to pass the time. They also played for less than 70 minutes, a bit of a joke... most of the crowd was giggling like schoolgirls despite them just going through their album, plus their three singles!

Tickets are £17, but aren't available online from Tickets Scotland so you'd need to order them over the phone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Rise Against in November . Never been to the Academy, if you've bought tickets for 'upper' standing, is it relativley easy to get down to the front? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to the Academy, if you've bought tickets for 'upper' standing, is it relativley easy to get down to the front? No. They won't let you downstairs without a downstairs ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luther Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Mac Miller in the O2 ABC2 in September. Can't fucking wait! Just need to find money for the tickets.. I never knew he was playing in Scotland. I will be getting tickets for that if I can convince somebody to go with me. EDIT: Thats me just purchased my ticket for it. Should be good.

Caveman Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 No. They won't let you downstairs without a downstairs ticket. Feck. I actually bought the tickets from gigsandtours.com who didn't specify which area of standing the tickets are for but I had previously tried Ticketmaster who said there were no downstairs tickets left, so I'm assuming my tickets are for upstairs. Do you think there's any chance the tickets I bought are for downstairs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Academy only has one standing bit, with a standing ticket you'll get right down to the stage, not really sure why they list some as upper standing. They just scan your ticket and you get through to the bar bit, there is a bit there for standing but no one stops you going right down to the stage. The only time you would get directed up stairs is if you have a seating or balcony ticket. As for gigs coming up for me - Got New Found Glory next month, then The Wonder Years at King Tuts, really excited for both of them. 36 Crazyfists in Dundee in October, seen them a couple of times before, always put on a good show. A Day to Remember have just let slip they have a UK tour in November away to be announced as well so will be getting tickets for that as well as soon as they are out.

Smurph Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'd fair like to see Rammstein, but I wouldn't travel down to England to see them. Going by their live videos on YouTube and their DVD Volkerball, they're a cracking live act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
