The fact is, it isn’t a festival where you can go all round a site. 27,000 is a lot of people for that space for a ten hour stretch and they’ll be packed in. On the assumption Ne-Yo is the biggest name there it’s a premium price for a broadly second tier headliner, and people won’t be shelling £60+ for the other acts when you could see them at smaller venues.

Port Said Red Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 19 hours ago, nebristolred said: I got dragged to see KoL relatively recently and they really surprised me, a sublime gig. That's a much better booking imo. 15 hours ago, Kid in the Riot said: Totally agree. I've never seen them live so would be great if they do come to AG. Red Morning Light, Mollys Chambers and California Waiting please. Though I think the following two albums were perhaps even better. I saw them twice back near the beginning. First time in Nottingham just after Because of the Times was released, a fantastic encore with my all time favourite track "Knocked Up" with a glitter ball descending over the crowd. The second time was the Ricoh Arena which was absolutely wild, like the punk days. California Waiting, Four Kicks, etc always goes down well, but there are some great tracks in an amongst their more recent albums too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club and Country Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 People saying this will 'easily sell out' unless they announce a streets or the like type act I can't see it getting anywhere near a sell out myself and my group of mates are mid 30s and these guys were the peak off us growing up, clubbing etc and not one of us plans on going at this time so I'm not quite sure who the target market is at this time be interesting how it progresses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very Blue/Atomic Kitten “gig at the gate” vibes See I think it will sell out okay. A few of us are mocking it as it's not our style but this is a decent lineup for plenty of people, and nostalgia acts are doing really well at the moment. Ne-Yo already has an arena tour across the UK booked in March at 15k - 20k venues - there's no reason why 30k here isn't possible with likes of Craig David added on. It might not be our cup of tea (it certainly isn't mine!) but it could actually be a decent lineup in terms of generating revenue, in which case for Bristol Sport it would be a success.

I think the sign here will be how early the stadium release their first “x tickets sold already” tweet - normally those come quite quickly if the events are going to be popular and to induce FOMO. If we see a tweet with 5-10k tickets sold by Monday it’s on track - if we don’t then they may have misjudged it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus just seen what he’s charging to get in and see him and Mario (really hope it’s the Mario I’m thinking of) - you may be right as the BS3 prices seem positively reasonable!

Silvio Dante Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 2 minutes ago, phantom said: Where did you get 27k from? To be fair that’s the figure quoted across the media - go on bbc, itv, nme etc. Ashton Gates website says capacity 27k for sport and 32k for concerts so it may even be higher but the actual figure will depend on stage setup. If it’s 32k for normal gigs then 27k seems right with the two stage setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ticket purchase screen you can see the second stage is tiny in comparison to the main one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I guess the side by side stages won't affect the capacity, it'll just be wider than the Arctic Monkeys one, pictured below. Not sure I'd want to be stood on that pitch all day, hope it's a nice day at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeez Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Whoever thought slowly rolling out the lineup is an idiot - the acts are very middle of the road for the genre & the small amount of buzz has been lost. I hope for their sake the remaining acts are actually headline-worthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
