Second favourite son Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 23 minutes ago, Billie Hoe said: They won't be on sale immediately after being announced, will they? Not even for Idiot Nation? I'm so nervous and scared I won't get a ticket, because I don't know my class schedule yet and I don't have money for it *right now*... It would be an idiotic sales tactic to put tickets up for sale right after a vaguely timed announcement. Ticket sales rely, in part, on time pressure and competition for tickets. Tickets are more likely to run out fast (and consequently people are more likely to panic and buy tickets they may not want/be available for or excess tickets) if everyone is directed to buy them at one specific, hyped up and clearly advertised time. Plus a slow site or failure on first few refreshes causes impulsive people like me to think 'oh wow I've managed to get through to these super-fast selling tickets, I'd better buy six even though I came on to buy 2'.

Second favourite son Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'm more nervous for Green Day tour dates than the most important exam results I have ever received, which might also be happening tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRUH SAME. I'm so restless and I think my hands are shaking a bit. If my results came tomorrow and I found out I failed two classes, I wouldn't give a shit as long as I knew Green Day would come to a town near me.

GD are most likely the first headliner for the german HurricaneSouthside festivals (= 100% not headlining the Rock am Ring festival) .. and this could mean they have most likely some area restrictions for the north and south of germany, thats why my guess is we will atleast get a show in cologne or frankfurt (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookieLukie Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I kind of dreading tour dates because I'm worried about who to bring. A lot of my friends aren't fans or are super busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably guilt a friend into it. I'm also single at the moment so I don't have the obligatory concert date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk94 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 going to a concert alone was the best decision i had last year! (enter shikari gig, 0 friends of mine know them) I met a girl from moscow, met the band backstage several times, went to some more gigs, I even flew to london the first time ever just because of this whole experience meeting other GDCers would be great!

I'm the same way too. Normally in the past I've just gone to concerts by myself which probably isn't the safest thing to do, nor is it very fun.

Clockwise Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Yeah, I'm probably going to a few shows alone. Would be cool to meet other GDCers! It's been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my second-favorite concert venue, behind House of Blues in Cleveland... it may soon become my favorite now that it's so close to me (about 15 minutes from my apartment and 5 minutes from where I work) but it's on Ohio State's campus, so that's a downside. Oh man, I'm already getting nauseous at the thought of buying tickets for a potential Green Day show there because it is a very small and popular venue. Brandon mentioned them playing a Newport show yesterday as a joke. If he got this one right, we need to buy some lottery tickets!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
