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. **Taps the sign** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I see Marv the fraud is getting excited that Queen Square can now hold 15k events. Not sure I’d class it as a competitor to AG directly, but the summmer concert venue space seems to be getting fairly congested. I wouldn’t be surprised if the council try and market Ashton Court as a concert venue also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how long it takes to set-up. A sizeable portion of the park is unavailable for about 3 weeks, which is pretty shocking really given it's such a popular park for members of the public. For just two days of events... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, there was a comfortable 20k crowd in the square for the Massive Attack show in 2003.

Roughly 1 person per m2 based on my very rough measurements and quick maffs. Which doesn’t sound terrible…however I wonder how much m2 bars, stage and toilets take up, let alone what’s already their like statue and trees.

nebristolred Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I'm not sure of that to be fair. In the Lansdown you have only 3 blocks still quite empty, and 3 more over in the Dolman - aside from that it's all VIP tickets and standing which is quite hard to judge just from the ticket map. Unless I'm seeing something a bit different - I think the sheer amount of VIP tickets makes it quite deceptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they announce the remaining acts, they ain't selling many more tickets. What's announced so far is a bit underwhelming.

I can't really see them deviating from the kinds of acts already announced to be honest. It would seem a strange fit if they started announcing rock/indie or whatever bands on the same bill.Having said that,I saw The Stone Roses in Manchester and they had Public Enemy as support.A very strange choice to me,but the crowd seemed to enjoy them,including me,and they certainly aren't the kind of thing I would usually go for.Anyone know when the next announcement is due? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, the Roses are probably the most disappointing live act I've ever seen (at The Feile in Cork, early 90's). Funnily enough Massive Attack played that festival as well & were brilliant (I think, I'd had a lot of Guiness by then). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed it! Played their debut album to death, absolutely loved them, but the live experience wasn't great. Weirdly, for a festival, the sound quality was good, the likes of Elastic & Weller were amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at the same run of gigs at the Etihad, and you're quite right, the build up was amazing. Felt like before a football match, crammed in belting out a bit of Oasis and the like. I assume Public Enemy supporting had something to do with Ian Brown being a big fan. Have to say the new 2nd John Squire tune with LG is a belter.

Never knew IB was a fan so that would certainly explain it.I think the stand out for me was Waterfall.Not my favourite SR song but with the crowd behind it it was just phenomenal. Whenever I hear it now it just takes me straight back there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately Bristol Sport have made a bit of a rod for their own backs here. They’ve taken on the concert and thought they could do it better than established promoters. The headliner is a guy who hasn’t done stadiums over here, and Craig Davids thing was last seen doing halftimes at Twickenham. If you also look at the second stage it’s tiny. Ultimately if it was going well we’d see endless tweets on it. It’s not, so I predict either a load of cut price ticket deals hitting soon, or a full blown cancellation.

Not like Bristol Sport to run a shitshow! I'd say there's a very strong chance this will be cancelled. Sales are dire. They saw the pound signs, thinking they could cut out the promoter and do it themselves. They forgot one important thing....the quality of the line up!! Did they genuinely think Ne-Yo and Craig David were going to shift 25-30000 tickets?! Laughable tbh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going all out club music / rnb and grime would not attract 25-30K people in Bristol. You may get away with it at a small location in London, If they went down the party in the park format, they would have sold out easy!

nebristolred Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 It's hard to say really - Ne-yo has a pretty much sold out UK arena tour, there is a logic to it. Problem is, arenas like the one in Leeds are what, 15k? This is a 30k day festival - with another relatively big name it might do well, but I'd be presuming that they were waiting to see how well ticket sales went before finalising the next round of names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
