clare* Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Has anyone managed to get through to get tickets. I have been trying on and off all day on the Robbie Williams site,but it keeps crashing They have been telling me for the last hour that their is heavy traffic on the site His concerts are supposed to be brilliant I would like to see him in a pair of Omlet pants, I must say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I think he is a brilliant performer, but I've never fancied him. Having said that I bet he has a nice botty. My bezzer is a big fan and went to see him live - she was disappointed after paying £40 not to get a better view. I hope that you fair better than she did Clare* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 Tickets are on sale through ticket hotlines for over £200 Loads cheaper if you can get them direct. In my younger days I did go to several Take That concerts , I have a younger sister who was mad on them. All of their shows were fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'd loved to have seen Take That. they had so much energy didn't they and did some great pop songs. Great to shake your bum too! I don't mind Robbie, but I think he should do more, smaller gigs. I hate thise big 'million people' ones. Hope you got sorted Clare* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Blue Sky Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I hope you get tickets! I saw Robbie in Rotterdam with my sister (my 40th birthday present from OH) and he was brilliant. Such an entertainer, great show. I don't go to concerts much (at all in fact) these days but I would definitely shift for a Robbie do. You'll have a great time - good luck with your ticket hunt.

The Dogmother Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 My fave was seeing Bob Dylan at Wembley back in the late 70s, or was it 1980? I forget! Fantastic atmosphere and great music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 The best concert I ever went to was the Hothouse Flowers in the early 90s. They were amazing - no one has come close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I must admit to the best concert I have ever been to as being Tom Jones a few years ago. I won the tivkets in a raffle, & nearly didn't go, but went & the seats were fab. God, the man can sweat!!! I have also seen Duran Duran, Jools Holland,Ocean Colour Scene,Blondie,Gary Glitter, T'Pau,Simply Red,Big Country,Aztec Camera....all those old '80s bands of my youth. Now I would LIKE to see Red Hot Chili Peppers & The White Stripes. I live about 6 miles from the Reading Festival site ,but have not been brave enought to go since I turned 30 (9 years ago!)

Cate in NZ Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Clare*, did you manage to get tickets for Robbie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 No I tried all last night to get into the Robbie Williams shop, you have to spend 25.00 to join the fanclub,that then allows you to buy the tickets before general release. I think I will wait now till they go on sale to everyone. It will cost 125.00 to go,2 tickets and the membership I know I would like to see him but its a bit expensive. I've got tickets to see Little Britain in March, that cost over £100 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Whoops, expensive But it would be an amazing night Probably worth a week of baked beans on toast, or whatever other economies are needed to find the money Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Debs saw Take That she reckoned it was a good concert (they were great apparently) - but not as good as Glen Tilbrook acoustic We saw Glen Tilbrook's acoustic tour a few years ago too. He was fab wasn't he? One man and his guiter with some help from members of the audience! We saw him in the Princess Charlotte in Leicester. At the time it was a small room out the back of the pub. A great venue for really intimate gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked Chicken Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 My best concerts were Madonna, Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd and Meat Loaf. Forgot to add, these are the only concerts I've ever been to - all very 80's. I always got good tickets. My theory is get the best you can, coz you won't see them again. The worst seats we had was at the Meat Loaf concert - at the back in the corner. You know how big Meat Loaf is??? Well he looked like a tiny little pea on the stage. Just not worth it. Pay extra money for good seats or forget it. Hope you get your Robbie tickets - bet he puts on a good performance - a real showman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucktorWho Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Oo, coincidence there is a concerts thread! I just got in from seeing Michael Bublé at Newcastle and he was amazing. Most def. the best one I've been to. Robbie Williams is not my cup of tea, but I bet he really puts on a good show! I can imagine tickets being hard to find for him.

Popcorn Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 The BEST gig you could ever go to in terms of great music and total entertainment are, THE FLAMING LIPS. Amazing gigs. Anyone with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Oh dear Gina, here I go again admitting that I've never heard of them (Grd posted in another thread about a band called Hothouse Flowers- I'd never heard of them either ) Maybe I'm just a lost cause I have heard of Robbie Williams though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Here's one for you then KateA - I went to see Queen - the Magic Tour - Knebworth - 1987 (?) They were brilliant - weather was superb - just don't ask about the toilets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 What about Oasis at Knebworth in 1996?? Fantastic and I WAS THERE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) Phew, even I have heard of Queen & Oasis I've never been to Knebworth- frequently intended too, never quite got round to it. Maybe one day We used to see quite a few concerts- pre children. Last one was Dire Straits, at Wembley, 1991, great atmosphere, but far too far away for a satisfactory view. Music was great, but very loud. Not a problem, except that I was pregnant at the time, and he kicked and wriggled and squirmed all through it. I was most uncomfortable. Not sure if it was the noise he didn't like, or just the band Edited November 11, 2005 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 LSH and I went to see Dire Straits at the NEC in 1985, I think. They were very good! It was just after they released the Brothers In Arms album. I went to Monsters of Rock at Donington to see AC/DC, Van Halen, Ozzy Osborne , saw the Police on their Synchonicity tour at the NEC in 1983 and saw Marillion in 1984 at the Milton Keynes Bowl. Now the most live music I get to see is my uncle's jazz band playing at Burghley Park !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 We may have been at the same Marillion concert Kate I went with an ex bofriend- and got lost somewhere between Wolverhampton and Milton Keynes Don't know how he managed that- but he was a dreadful driver We enjoyed the concert when we finally got thee though. Also saw UB40, the Teardrop Explodes, Altered Images , and Duran Duran, all back in the 80's. There were others too, can't remember them right now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
