metice Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Anyone manage to get hold of tickets for the stereophonics on Saturday? I registered a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything back from them. Any suggestions how I might get hold of one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolie Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm in the dark just as much as you mate. My girlfriend registered last week and the website indicated that the cut off point was Tuesday 22nd. We've had no emails or texts. When I called up Guru magazine I was told the concert was outside near Rama 4. The website says that the whole thing's on a ship/boat leaving from Klongtoey pier near Rama 4. Sounds a bit weird doesn't it, a concert on a ship. If this is the case then perhaps there's a much lower allocation of tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashacat Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) I got a text through about 2 weeks ago from 100 Pipers. Most of it was in Thai text (which my phone cannot display) but it contained the words; Stereophonics, 100 pipers, concert etc. So I assume I'm in...

metice Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm annoyed that it's pot luck if you get the tickets - they'll be lots of spotty teenagers who will end up with tickets and never even heard any of their music. You have to wait so long for a decent band to visit Thailand, and then you have no way of getting to see them. I guess it will be hard to bribe the security guys if there is a limited number of places on the boat. It sucks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolie Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Girlfriend got a text today saying tough luck mate. My other friend was successful . I might pop down on Saturday and check out the scene. Outside chance maybe of a bribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSnrang Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I got an SMS from this morning saying that all the tickets have been issued and I wasn't lucky enough to get one. A shame really. I would have actually paid to see them, not like 70% of the audience who have never heard a single song by them besides maybe "Have a Nice Day."

liberty Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 grr, only arrived in BKK yesterday and only just heard about this gig. Where is it? All the info I can find on the net is in Thai... Might be worth going to see if I can buy someone's ticket or something. I'm not really into them anymore, but I remember seeing one of their first ever gigs in a small club in South Wales more than 10 years ago! so it'd be cool to see them again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baramunchies Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 chill out guys. you have to consider that most international gigs here are so expensive, that the average teenager has no chance to ever see them. thats why nobody shows up to play here. you can have a lot of fun at a concert with knowing the band. now they develope a sponsorship culture which will hopefully let more gigs stop over on the way from eu to downunder. anyway, i got a ticket and i know many people got more tickets than they use, so just showing op and asking around will most probably get you in. afaik every sms contains 2 tickets. a gig on a ship is not too unusual, been on some great partys on boats. more important: will it be outside or inside on the boat? guess heavy rain tomorrow again.

poolie Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 There's 3 of us and only 2 tickets so I'll probably go down and see if I get one somehow. "Baramunchies" - the weather might be a bit iffy like u say. If it's outside then could be interesting as I think its rained every night for the last few nights.

Went along to the private after-party too, and I've got to say, they are all thoroughly nice young chaps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
