Just out of curiosity, how many of you are going to Hyde Park on both the 2nd and the 3rd of July?

I am. I considered it for a few days and then I realised I had the chance to see my favourite band ever twice in two days and started wondering why I hadn't already bought the ticket for Thursday. Although this means I'm eating porridge and soups until my next payday :wink:

Damn, I can't decide whether to buy a ticket for thursday or not, grrr (are they still available anyway?).
Do you think it worths it? I mean ok, I know it does, it's Blur, but will the two gigs really be that different after all...?

And what if they add a third date?

Well, I don't know about different.. I've actually seen quite a few bands for two nights in a row, and some change their setlist a bit, and some don't at all. But the ones that change it, always change the rarest of the songs, so I thought that I couldn't risk that they would (for example) play Blue Jeans or Chemical World on Thursday and not on Friday. But then, I've never seen Blur twice in a row (not possible since I'm in Finland and have never before had the means to travel to the UK when they've toured) so I have no idea what they're going to do.

But anyway, I'm so happy if the gigs are a bit different, but even if they aren't I doubt I'm going to care. It's the best feeling ever after a great concert to know that you're going to experience it all over again the next day

Hey, I do that all the time. It's called 'being a student'

and yep, I'm going on both days

EDIT:

@ getget: if they add a third, I am going to be living off a fiver for the next 3 months. I've done it once, I can bloody well do it again :lol:

just gonna catch one of the other shows afterwards, hopefully they will be at smaller venues. (the shows damon talked about in the NME article)

For me one Hyde Park gig is enough. I'm aiming to go to a load of the warm up gigs as i prefer smaller venues, being closer to the band etc and a better sound.

I'm going to just the 1. I simply do not have the money for both, easypeasy

by **Blurvert** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 6:51 pm

i was tempted to buy two - but no. i really dont have the money. god knows how much the train will be, at least 80 quid

by **holdingonfortomorrow** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 7:51 pm

I only got one, haven't really got enough money for the both and would prefer to go to a warm up gig as well as a big one
