[Zico]

managed to get tickets for Marilyn Manson at the Apollo in November

via twickets

Managed to get two standing tickets for the Pulp gig at Co-op tonight, really looking forward to it.

 

Long shot but If anyone hears of a single standing ticket available let me know as the wife now wants to come too!

Yeah I’ve been trying but every time its saying the tickets are unavailable. Very frustrating…. Am not sure if its just worth chancing getting something at the venue but with everything being ticketless I think we’d be wasting our time.

You've got 2 tickets, but you're not letting your wife use one? I tip my hat to you 😁

Haha, I know it sounds unfair but they were always for me and a mate who really wanted to see them. I have offered to buy her a VIP ticket with lounge access and drinks but she said she’s not bothered as she’d rather stand with us! Looks like twickets are no longer selling them on now either so not looking good for a single standing ticket

Do you own a long trench coat?

Still in the co op here 

Pulp were absolutely fantastic

It was a sweaty affair

Phenomenal gig, on a par with castlefield bowl from a couple of years ago and the new songs really held up well I thought. 

Did manage to get another ticket at the last minute for the wife too so had a great evening!

Aladdin's Cave, market place?

[Zico]

Up there with the best gigs I've ever seen that 

£109 but worth every penny

Maiden know how to put on show. If I was a big fan then I would probably agree with you. But I'm not. I'm looking forward to seeing 80s rockers W.A.S.P. in September.

Only if they play The Crimson Idol. The rest is rubbish - fuck like an animal is a tune though.

I'm not a big fan, certainly not compared to 99% of the people in there last night

Was never into them at the time (that being the 80s and 90s), only the last 10 years or so I've properly listened to them and I had to listen to the setlist in advance to get proper familiar with everything they played

But just a great show, what live music is all about, the band and crowd all had a great time, no nobheads

BRMC and Franz Ferdinand tickets bought, at the Academy in December and February respectively

Nice to see these sorts of bands play smaller venues.

I've got BRMC tickets too

saw them last time touring Wrong Creatures at the academy too

spot on venue for them, though couldn't see them having the demand to fill an arena (tickets still available for adademy)

and wouldn't want to see them play one either

only "downside" is they are doing Howl anniversaryt which isn't even in my top 3 albums by them, will still be good though

Father John Misty was sublime last night. Band sounded amazing, he's written some quality songs.

[L/H White]

if anyone is doing a gig at the co-op soon, I'd defo consider doing the backstage club - https://www.cooplive.com/pQo4GIw/the-arena/the-co-op-backstage-club

we paid £33

got a free drink, early access, no queues, DJ on, own merch stand, pool tables, games, food

it's really good 

it's a great venue

We had tickets in the AMP club there. A similar type of thing but includes VIP seating.

All drinking Trooper probably, the stench of Ale, BO and unwashed battle jackets will take weeks to clean out of the Co-Op.
