Just one more day to get through before the weekend. Keeping a low profile, or have a full day of meetings?

What are you looking forward to doing at the weekend?

Failed to get general sale Foo Fighters tickets for Cardiff, which is fine. Already bought presale tickets for Manchester but its a much longer drive. Ah well, will just have to stay overnight instead. Anyone else get tickets?

I accidentally bought pre-sale for the wrong London show and forgot to try for the other one in the general sale this morning. So I’m going to miss Wet Leg supporting them.

On the plus side, it’s a Saturday so no work the next day I guess. And I get to wear my Churnups t-shirt.

I love the Foo Fighters, but £100 per ticket? That’s extortionate.

I’m gonna pass this time around. 🙁

My wife and I got tickets to their Edinburgh show years ago and then Dave went and broke his leg. Still bitter about that!

Yeah I had tickets to Wembley on that tour. Then they reorganised that gig to one in my home town which was incredible.

Talk about lucking out! Although the idea of Foo Fighters rocking up to Ayrshire has me tickled. To be fair Oasis did olay a few towns over, in Irvine!

It was £170 for two in Manchester. Was cheaper than I was expecting, plus they're not going to be playing forever or go down in price. I'd rather spend the money over always regretting not seeing them.

That’s fair enough. I’ve seen them 4 times now, including the Taylor Hawkins tribute show.
