I'm based in Farringdon 😀. We'd already booked hols for New York and San Francisco when this was announced. Tickets were on a lottery system where you had to apply for dates you were prepared to go to, but you would only get one night. We were booked to arrive in SF on Thursday so we applied for the first 2 nights and won them for opening night. So we booked flights and hotel for 1 night in LV.
Then it started .... got to JFK on Thursday and I'd left my passport in the hotel. Had to ask the hotel put it in taxi for me but it didn't arrive in time so we missed our connection. Couldn't get another flight until Friday morning, so we landed in SF after our LV flight had left. We booked another flight through online travel company from Oakland to LV (extra cost🥵) for Friday afternoon which should have got us to LV at 5.20 ... 1 hour later we got notification that it was delayed by 2 hours (couldn't have made it up!!!). Got to airport and the airline had no record of our booking 😯. Had to rebook the flight direct with the airline and pay again. While we were waiting to board the confirmation came through from the travel agent... so we were booked on the flight twice at double the cost. Spent 30 minutes on the phone to the agent arguing about paying them, had to settle on a $50 cancellation fee to avoid paying the lot. Dreading the cost of that call when I get it. Boarding started at 5.15pm for a 5.45 take off. Thanks to some f****** moron at Southwest Airlines who couldn't make up his mind about who should board in what order we didn't take off until 6.10pm. Stewardess said it was a 60 minute flight so I'm thinking we've got a chance. Sadly she didn't mention circling LV for 20 minutes so we didn't land until 7.30. Taxi to hotel to put bag in storage without checking in a ran round to the venue .... looked a lot closer on google maps.
Back to SF later today for 1 night then down to San Jose to see Motionless In White on Sunday night.

Venue is unbelievable. Bit weird to have a vast enclosed space above a gig. Acoustics were amazing. Band were fantastic as usual even with the opening night glitches. The graphics/screen has to be seen. We had GA tickets and there was loads of room on the floor. I think the floor capacity is 1 person per square yard. Safety comes first but it means only half the floor is actually occupied. Oh, and $8 for a bottle of water.

All that stress and extra expense makes me wonder why I'm coming back to see 2 more gigs in December 🤣🤣.

Enjoy yourselves when you come over.

(Bet you wished you hadn't asked 😉)

Reminds me of when I missed the bus outside my house and had to wait another 20 mins
 
Mate had a spare ticket for the Reytons at City Hall last night so I had a look along. He didn’t tell me they were seats so watched the support act from the balcony. Some tw*ts with a Newcastle flag countering on about the champions league. Strangely they didnt have geordie accents.

Managed to blag in downstairs for Reytons. Good gig really got the crowd going. Decent set of mostly their better known stuff. Spoilt a bit by the amount of bell ends shouting toon toon black and white army every 5 minutes.
 
Got tickets for Gaslight Anthem at the Roundhouse. Next March. Venue I’ve fancied for a while. Really looking forward to it, they were great last year in Manchester.
 
Go and see Max Cooper on tour. Saw him last week in Brighton. Truly unbelievable 3d/audiovisual experience

Don’t know what it is lately with the seats being put in the City Hall for bands..it’s the same for the Stranglers next year..the place was bouncing last year for them..if it was some knacker like Michael Buble or someone fair enough but not a rock band.

Ah my post wasn’t worded well mate. My mate had booked seat tickets upstairs but the main floor was standing. First time I’ve been since they’ve taken the lower seats out and it’s much better for gigs.

Apparently some scrote stole their No1 album trophy as it was being passed around the crowd as well.
