Not in the UK they dont... there were tickets available for the July 16 one for a while... but in Germany and finland they sell out on the first or 2nd day - in HUGE venues.

wow! oh thats what iv read. it said somthing on the site that they put a christmas concert up n it sold out in 1 day

wow! oh thats what iv read. it said somthing on the site that they put a christmas concert up n it sold out in 1 day
Yeah thats their boxing day show in helsinki - all 6000 tickets sold out on the first day. It's a pity they cant be that popular over here - but I like astoria... its a nice venue. overhot and full of crowdsurfers... but im 100% going to be in the front row this time. was about 3 people back in july.... and that was 2 1/2 hours in advance! I hope I get to meet them all this time. I only met Emppu last time - they all ran away. I got him to sign my copy of once and shook his hand which was cool.

I'm all excited now. Thanks for letting me know. I see its mentioned on the nightwish forums since the 18th... but I havent been on there for about a month because of university... and ticketmaster list the astoria gig now - which they didnt earlier cos i browsed the entire site.

Bouncy, Bouncy, Bouncy

ahh where are the other dates? they'll come on eventually. i hope

cool, thanks for the news! first lc, now nw... hmm think i'm gonna have to try and get tickets! if i do i'll go to the astoria cos that's closest. and yeah, no one really seems to know them here, shame. or not... more likely to get tickets now! w00t!

woohoo. Im so getting tickets. Oh wicked. Thats so cool. Many thanks for posting that!.

claire

26th is drawing nearer but i have noone to go with except my mum. yes my mum. she was in bed and she hates metal music and i said to her in bed 'do you like this?' for a joke and she said 'yeh' and i went 'never realised you was into metal' and she went 'some of its ok like this' and i said do you like opera and she said 'yeh' so shes coming and listening to nemo later and seeing if she'll like them and if she'd go and see em.

Fuckety fuck fuck fuuuck.

How long have I been waiting for nightwish to come?

And who do I have to go with?

And who is not allowed to go to concerts unless 2 other people go with her?

:mad: :mad: :mad:

You all have fun... I'll weep in a pool of emo tears.

But take photos!

screw pics im gettin audio (digital recorder for crimbo)

Yay i'm definately going to try and get tickets for the Astoria show i'm excited already :D

screw pics im gettin audio (digital recorder for crimbo)

Good luck with that....

Some places can be a real bitch with trying to get even cameras in, nevermind audio recorders.

I want to try and make the astoria show. Although that's a matter of whether I can get someone to come with me.

A lot of us seem to be going for teh Astoria show we should have a mini Evboard meet

dont worry im taking a handheld one

yeah, indeed. would be cool if i saw some of you guys there, if not then maybe the next ev concert. but i didn't meet anyone at wembley and still had a great time, so this concert should be good as well! what would make this perfect though is if some of us can meet up and also see the band after... :D hehe well whatever's good... hmm hope you manage to get away with that, eternal vow. would be nice if someone could record it!

I've looked on ticketmaster and it says age restrictions apply but they dont actually bother to mention exactly what age you have to be to get in. Does any one have any idea? I won't be a happy bunny anymore if you have to be over 16 or something to get in. Hopefully I should be ok cos with seether it was over 14.

Nightwish!! Yay!! Going to see them in feb now, manchester should be much easier than paris. Anyone wanna buy two tickets to thier paris gig?

You got the Manchester tickets?!?! Are they good ones? Ooooohhhh o_O

amy la calabazita

*cries* got no one to go with

*cries* got no one to go with

Aw!! There are age restrictions at the Manchester gig... no under 18's. That's gotta suck for a lot of people! I don't know what it is in London or Birmingham though...

amy la calabazita

:eek: age restrictions!!! just when i found somebody. where did you find that out anywho? il get my mum to give the academy a good seeing to.

YAY!!!!! got my ticket for Birmingham! anybody else going to birmingham?

I got them!!! HA HA manchester here i come

Now If only I can sell my others

Sorry the tickets arent great :(

Standing, unreserved were the best availible

Standing, unreserved were the best availible

Standing?! You're trying to tell me that's not good?!?!?!

Eternal vow, I found it on the ticketmaster website, on this page: http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/cgi/asp_events/venue_page.asp?vaxname=UK2&venuenum=330

Under General Information it says the age limit...

amy la calabazita

Don't worry about the age limit thing. I don't knwo fo anyone who's ever been to any concert where they've actually enforced the age limits. It's always totally up to the venue if they want to turn people away at the door. Of course no venue ever does enforce the age limits because they want as many people in there spending money on cheap warm flat beer and tasteless hotdogs, and they get a certain cut of the profit made from the band merch too. Hell, first Ev concert I went to it clearly said over 16's only, the second said over 18's only, but hell I saw kids at both who can't have been more then 12 or 13 years old, and I got into the '18+ only' one no problems, they didn't even look at me funny, and I don't look 18 anyway.

Really, the age limit won't be a problem. It may as well not exist.


Anyway, I'd really like to go see Nightwish but none of the gigs are near me :( And the only one I could get to, the London one, is on a sucky day for me :mad: Grr. I wish I'd seen this thread the second tickets were announced so I could have planned ahead... oh well, just have to miss out on it this time around :(

Damn, when I read this I thought it said "US tour". But I saw them in Cleveland this year and I'm going to see them in Toronto in a month. :) Met them all too :D

Thanks Leonheart. I will just get my ticket PLUS I might bring someone older than me and that'll make it look better.

Yeah do that! The older person will look after you :) which one are you going to?

amy la calabazita

manchester. and you phoenix fires?

Manchester! Heh! Guess I'll see you there!

amy la calabazita

They've finally started adding the UK tour dates on the official site now. Does anyone know how long it is likely to take an item ordered from the official site to get all the way to the UK?

The Manchester gig's not on the official site yet, I checked earlier. You just have to go to ticketmaster.co.uk...

amy la calabazita

Yay I'm going to the London gig now! Yippie! *Moshes around room to Dead Gardens*

haha tom me too! @both!

I'm off to the London gig as well :D exactly one week after my 17th birthday! *Dances*
My friend Dan managed to get ticket numbers 3,4 and 5 :D

I hope to go to the Birmingham show, havent got tickets as off yet, but sure plan to asap. :)

it should be good, i havent seen nightwish yet - wanted to when they were last here but nottingham was too far to travel.

yay! Cool guys I'll hopefully see you all there! Maybe I just might buy that gorilla suite for the occasion chris :)

Doo eet! Just as long as you're Spike for the next Ev gig! You gotta!

amy la calabazita

yup hopefully tom! especially if you do wear it! don't think we could miss you then! doo eet!

hmm should make a list of people going to lahndahn darlin.

whoa! there is gonna be a mini Ev forum invasion of these gigs ... we have about 12 people on the EvUK forum going to the Astoria ... its going to be so awesome!

...and me and me and me!!!! (maybe!)

Sarineh x

Ive ordered ticket for the Astoria in London none of my friends wanted to go but meh is their loss i'm going so i'm happy :D

i'm going to the astoria, at the Seether and Ev gigs i went solo but this time i'm going with a friend so it should be cool, i haven't seen them live before so i'm really looking forward to it, my friend who i'm going with has and said they're awesome live.

guess what arrived in the post earlier? yep! :D just need to find cheap accommodation hehe.

looks like there's quite a few of us going... there's a few who haven't posted in here too who might and are going. gonna be good whatever though!

im goin to all the shows... ive been waiting for this uk tour to happen.. uk is smaller than most places.. easy to travel through so ive decided to go over there and see them instead :)



ghost love score - cant wait to hear that one!! :p

just need to find cheap accommodation hehe.

There are lots of cheapish hotels in that area and many at Kings Cross which looks like it is in walking distance. Most of us from EvUK are looking at getting in the same hotel so we can party after. So the more the merrier... we can have a kinda joint meet up! :D

jeez dude wtf is up with that avatar? o.O haha! *goes to reply page so he can actually concentrate on reading your reply*

oh thanks for the info! yeah that'd be cool! dark star mentioned about an after party and it sounds a really cool idea! i'm trying to find somewhere everyone here can stay if they wanna hang with us! hopefully a few of us will go there and have a fun after party! :D i'll check ev-uk as well in a bit then, thanks!

How many ppl going to the manchester gig??

I hope to go to the Birmingham show, havent got tickets as off yet, but sure plan to asap. :)

Got a funny feeling it's just you and me so far!

amy

I'll be there :) ... it'll be cool to see them on such a small stage.

Got a funny feeling it's just you and me so far!

amy

And you mate from bangor hopefully.

This years christmas list:


Entire Nightwish back catalogue

Oh yeah and Laura! So me you Laura and Worship_Yourself.

Yeah cool! So four of us. Who are you going with Worship? Sorry what's your name?! And where in North Wales are you from? I'm liking it up here at the moment.

OMG what albums haven't you got yet?! I thought you were going to get them ages ago! What one did you get when we were in Cardiff? I got the Bless the Child EP. I think I'll listen to it now actually...

I have Once which I bought about 12 hours after you got me addicted to them (my wallat still hates you btw) I bought Oceanborn while we were in cardiff. Right now I cant decide between 1997 - 2004 (that collection they released) and just buying all the albums. Are the ones you get on '97-2004 the enhanced versions? Damn it Bless the Child is another one I want but dont have.

So the three evboarders (def.) going to this manchester gig are all welsh then, hey worship yourself, where in north wales are you? Im a gog by birth.

Hah say sorry to your wallet for me. But I did you a favour right? Nightwish rule!

I think it would be better to buy all the albums since you don't have them. It's nice to have all the cds there in their boxes waiting to be listened to *looks at them* hmmm.... Once should do now!

Hah I remember walking down Swansea with you listening to my Once album. That was funny!

amy

Yeah, unfortuantley I think I'll have to buy both Bless the child and Century child to get the complete thing but oh well, hey, its nightwish.

Ah swansea, (nostalgic).

Heh the box set contains Angels Fall First, Oceanborn, Wishmaster and Over The Hills And Far Away exactly the albums i need and exactly the albums i'd already ordered seperately a few days ago :rolleyes: ah well like Pheonix Fires sais is good to have all the boxes rather than a box set i guess so long as they get here soon lol

I think I'll buy Over the hills now and then just get the rest for christmas, hope santas' feeling generous this year.

Does anyone know about any support acts on this UK leg of the tour?

i dont think theyve been confirmed yet

I wouldn't mind if it were lullacry.

They supported them in the US. I liked them before that and was kinda disappointed that we didn't get them but brainstorm were pretty cool.

hehe. I eventually managed to get tickets. :D

YAAAAAAAAY!

I'm going to the bham gig. Thanks so much to whoever posted this thread xD I've just arranged to go with my friend Rosy, who went to the bham ev gig with me in May. I love her!
It's going to be great to see them in such an intimate setting. And thankfully it's during half term so us younguns wont have musical hangovers whilst doing hideously boring multiplications the next day. >_>


EXCITEMENT...@_@;; *hyperventilates*

us younguns wont have musical hangovers whilst doing hideously boring multiplications the next day. >_>

That's the only way to do it!!

amy

Yeah... musical hangovers are fun.
Firstly because whilst you're in the kind of hangover mode, you're also is 'wow that gig was awesome,' in awe mode and it lasts longer. (I think seether lasted at least a week)

Second, everyone asks about why you look like the living dead and you get to sleep or you get to tell a cool story and not do multiplication :p

And they just kick ass anyway. Sure getting sleep is good, but getting a little sleep and getting on with life afterwards is more fun. In a really random way.

Musical hangovers are far better than drinking hangovers... until they've lasted too long and you just want to sleep for a week. :rolleyes:

just bought my ticket for the 19th feb at the astoria, i'm so excited. i was panicking abit cause the 19th is an added date and the web site kept coming up with an error message when i tried to book and the ticketmaster automated service kept coming up with the 12th (which is sold out) instead of the 19th so i thought they'd just made a mistake on the web site and i wouldn't be able to go, but all is well when i spoke to an operator so yeay soooooo happy about that one.
i would have got my ticket sooner but my friends friend said he was going to get tickets for me, my friends and loads more people, he still hasn't got the tickets so i just got my own. yeay :D

Ok, so who here is going to the Bham Gig? It'd be great to meet up with some people before hand. Loads of the evUK people are meeting too. One big huge coming together of forums would be fabby!

i am going to the bham gig! it would be coolbeans if we could meet up.

Oh, everyone's meeting up?!

amy

Oh, everyone's meeting up?!

amy


Well, it would be cool wouldn't it? I think a load of the evuk forumers are meeting...so it would be great for people from both forums to meet up *is a member of both*

Well, it would be cool wouldn't it? I think a load of the evuk forumers are meeting...so it would be great for people from both forums to meet up *is a member of both*

i agree with that one. Who's going to the London gig on the 19th Feb?

Manchester anyone? no?

Very few of us, if any, unfortunately!

amy

hey guys im going to the astoria gig on the 12th! booked my tickets ages ago now! they're sitting in my pants drawer nice and safe!!!! can't fucking wait! it's gonna be ace!

hey guys im going to the astoria gig on the 12th! booked my tickets ages ago now! they're sitting in my pants drawer nice and safe!!!! can't fucking wait! it's gonna be ace!

Nice to see you agiain kirsty.

indeed it is... also on 12th feb as well i hope! who's going as well? need to check but i think there's ally, graham and tom also going that date... hmm still need to find somewhere cheap to stay. i'm busy up til wednesday afternoon, but i'll look then and let you know what i find, ok kirsty? and anyone else there's looking for somewhere cheap to stay. if we all get rooms in the same place we can have that after party! w00t!

wow... a lot of people are going on the 12th. Thank god I did manage to get tickets!

Aww... an afterparty sounds like fun. Maybe I can sneak into the hotel and go home afterwards... maybe.

Oh and cheap in london? Good luck....

i meant cheap by london standards obviously... hehe! yeah that'd be cool, maybe you could climb up the wall and in through the window... well, maybe. well hopefully we'll ALL be able to meet up before the gig this time! red side still rocked though... honest.

oh i have news for under 18s of Manchester. you can go. somebody at the nightwish uk board rung manchester academy and said its fine.

There is never any age restrictions at the Manc Academy for gigs... only when they host club nights like schooldisco.com or some shite like that. The venue is also one of the easiest places to get served for the u18's. It'll be different for Nightwish, but the crowd is often full of drunk kids.

o ok kool. not for the drunk kids thing but kool. god i hate it when people between my age and 15 get drunk. they act like right pricks.

*sigh*

And they're all 'townies'.

Anyway. I have a few really crap questions:

1. Is there a vast amount of moshing? (I wouldn't have thought so as most Nightwish fans are sane and will just go to have a great time listening to the music, not squashing small people...but just wanted to check)
2. What sort of thing will people wear? (I dont want to be the only one there in a beautiful black dress, but I dont want to be the only one in Jeans and a t-shirt)
3. What is the best time to start queueing? (The gig starts at 7)

Of course, I'm a hopeless gig n00b. I've only been to Ev and LostProphets...

I went to Ev looking like a chav. I mean, I wasn't. *shudder* But I was sitting there in evisu fucking shoes. (Which were £10 in the sale...making it slightly more acceptable XD) Jeans, and something that slightly resembled a corset.

I refuse to make that mistake again.

*decides to go in dress from Anna Bee*

its funny cus your not the only gig n00b lookin like a chav. i saw the rasmus in a gray mckenzie grafiti jacket lol.

as long as you don't think and act like a chav, it's all good *thinks of rasmus getting bottled* ouch...

*still looking for cheap places to stay, in fact not even started looking, but will tomorrow... hmm this could take a while*

I doubt there will be a lot of moshing.
Doubtlessly there'll be a few guys in a pit but last time I was at nightwish, it was just a few older guys moshing like moshing should be... but they were quite large guys so most people were too scared to join in.

I don't think there'll be a problem. What you should watch out for however, is crowdsurfers. You don't want someone falling on your head if you're not prepared. Just keep yourself aware of your surroundings during the gig and you'll be fine.

eeek. typo hell.

Of course, I'm a hopeless gig n00b. I've only been to Ev and LostProphets...

And I've only been to Ev!

Am I right in remembering you're going to the same gig as me? I'll be wearing pretty much the same as what I saw Ev in- green cargo pants, a black vest top or tshirt, and black trainer type shoes and a jacket. So in no particular style...!

amy

And then there's me who hasn't seen a single bloody major gig. Although by the time Nightwish roles around it'll be my fourth :D :D

I was supposed to see them in paris on sunday but I couldn't go in the end. Poo.

Lots of gigs in a small space of time....
I love that.

Well, that is until a few weeks after when you've been going to a gig a week for about 3 weeks and before that a gig a month and then it seems like ages.... and you start to get withdrawal symptoms.

*sitsrockingtoandfro mustgotogigmustgotogig*

as long as you don't think and act like a chav, it's all good *thinks of rasmus getting bottled* ouch...

*still looking for cheap places to stay, in fact not even started looking, but will tomorrow... hmm this could take a while*
oh no dont worry i hate chavs

Guess what arrived for me just now, yes, thats right, two tickets to see nightwish!!!!!!!! :D:D:D

Oh yes and I accidently ordered 4 not two, so if anyone wants two to the manchester gig pm me

YAY!

But how did you manage that? Wow.

amy

YAY!

But how did you manage that? Wow.

I thought I cocked up the order so I did it again, as it turns out I did it right the first time, aren't I the inteligent one :rolleyes:

Hehe! Oops! Why don't you get one of your friends from uni to come? My friend can't come anymore, she can't afford a ticket! Bah to her!

amy

Hehe! Oops! Why don't you get one of your friends from uni to come? My friend can't come anymore, she can't afford a ticket! Bah to her!

amy

How much could she afford? Maybe my extra ones would come cheap (maybe) :D

I'll ask around here to see if anyone I know wants to come, doubtful though I don't know any nightwish fans around here.

I don't know, I'll ask her! How much do I owe you by the way? I wouldn't be able to pay you until my next installment *SORRY SORRY SORRY!!!!!!!!* because I'm so skint now I can't even afford a newpaper! Gah. I think my phonebill went out today. Weird. I should go check to see if I have a bill!

amy

I was thinking how the hell did you manage that....

You should keep your eyes open, if the gig sells out you might be able to get a fair amount for it outside... I heard one show a while back tickets were going outside for £70!

£70!!! Maybe buying extra was a smart business investment, which I knew of course, its been my plan alllllll along :cool:

Phoenix, you owe me about £20 I think, you can pay me when I see you.

sell them and some branston pickle for £70 each on ebay. you'll get £210 then. think of the nw merch and meetups you can make then :p

Awesome idea!!! Im going to put some branston pickle on E-bay tonight, also I think the nightwish tickets will gone on there about, hmm, just before the gig somtime. Nightwish gear :D here I come.

hey all, can anyone tell me the url for the nightwish uk: oceanborn forum? my internet explorer isnt working properly and i usually speak about nightwish there. when i click on a link it comes up with a blank windows explorer and i have to type the url. thanks!!!

Phoenix, you owe me about £20 I think, you can pay me when I see you.

£20!!!! Holy shit, was the delivery charge £7.50 or something? That's terrible! OMG!

amy

Try searching for Nightwish UK Forums on google or somewhere then copy the url to your browser

£20!!!! Holy shit, was the delivery charge £7.50 or something? That's terrible! OMG!

i have no idea who they are.. *goes to research*

How many of ya'lll are gonig to the Feb.19th London gig? It'd be cool to meet somer of you there.

I used to post here, but drifted but none the less would be nice to meet some fellow EvBoarders.

finally. im glad its a group fronted by a female. il have to get some of there music. when i go to a concert i like to know all the songs. even to the 2nd group.

yeah i think i would've enjoyed seether more had a heard more of their songs beforehand... glitterati, erm, well... lol! but i see what you mean. definately going to check out their songs sometime, need to find a setlist, also would like to know what nw's setlist is... i think they added ghost love score so maybe they'll play that when they tour the uk... maybe *fingers crossed*

do you know if creek marys blood is on the set list??
also
how many of you all are going to manchester gig??!

*raises hand* meeeeee. i'm going :D i can't wait.

Tristania? I've heard of them before. I think I might have had some mp3s somewhere...

I would have preferred lullacry or sonata artica though. The US get all the good support bands... :( Although Brainstorm were quite good last time. Shame the crowd didn't get into it so much.

And w00t for the 12th of Feb!!! :p

yeah i saw sonata arctica's cd on sale (never heard of any of their songs though) and that reminded me, i thought we might have got them as well, as i'd heard of them supporting nw before. YAY 12th of feb!

yeah so have I. i might have to download some of their tunes before the gig so i'm abit familiar with their music.

yeh me n all. i know iv already asked but rase your hand if your going to the manchester gig!!!!

Chris i wouldn't get your hopes up for Ghost Love Score didn't they add it for the bigger venues where there was more equipment or something? *Goes to find stuff about Tristania*

you mean more like wembley-sized venues and not astoria-sized venues then? oh, damn. i wonder what they'll play instead, if they don't add it to their setlist *looks for old setlists from smaller venues*

*raises hand* meeeeee. i'm going :D i can't wait.

Tis going to be a kickass show, as it's the last UK gig so it shlal be special.

I seem to always go to the first or last shows for a band. I went to HIM's Halloween gig..which was the last show and i'm going to the MCR/TBS tour on it's last date. Kind of cool.

I went onto Tristania's website and listened to a few songs...actually really liked them...I'm glad it's a female fronted band...really glad.

Ok, so who is going to Birmingham and who wants to see me in my trailing skirt and corset? XD

hey all, how long has it taken for you to get your tickets?? i ordered off ticketline from the manchester academy website and they still havent come and that was 2 weeks on monday *cries*

I ordered mine from Ticketmaster and they came like, in a week...

The time tickets can take to arrive depend on both who you bought it from and the venue. Ticketmaster is fairly quick at getting the tickets out but only if the tickets have already been printed. Sometimes a first lot is printed for the first lot of orders but then other people for the same gig who ordered their tickets later might not get their tickets for another month.

I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets to 2-3 weeks before the gig and they haven't come. Then just get on the phone and hopefully you'll be able to find out what's going on.

theres still a while yet before the gig and it's christmas so post is slow anyway right now, if they haven't come by after new year get in touch with ticketmaster or whereever you ordered the tickets from.

Everyone says nightwish are just a copy of Ev! My a**se! they are too gothic to copy of Ev! Tarja is very pretty but not a gorgeous as Amers!! :o Im goin to see them at Birmingham academy! C ya guys ;)

Nightwish are nothing like Ev. the only reason they compare both bands is cause they both have female lead singers.
i'm so excited about the NW gig, it's going to be awesome. it'll be cool to meet up with any of you that are going to the london gig on the 19th feb :D

how many of you guys are going to the 12th feb gig? pm me and i'll get a list up! it'll be cool to have a bit of a meet then too! the only one's i know is me and chris/susurrus!

omfg i can't wait!! it's gonna be so great! i keep looking at my ticket like wow!!! woooooooot!

let me think... us two, tom, graham, ally, maybe another, hmm my memory isn't so bad after all.

let me think... us two, tom, graham, ally, maybe another, hmm my memory isn't so bad after all.

yup, we need to organise time now (make it early so we stand a chance of finding band and TERRORISSING THEM mwahahahahahaha :p :D

eek, poor nightwish! and we do need to meet up beforehand! i'm going to get down there early, sort out accommodation (if it's anything like the hotel at wembley, it might take a while to sort out everything) and once i've dumped my bags, then... queuing... fun...! but then we can all meet! w00t!

man, i wish i got my ticket earlier cause then i'd be able to join in with all the madness but it looks like i'll be there on the 19th solo :( my friend is supposed to be coming but he's being really slow at getting his ticket lol. btw you guys, are you going to be getting there early to meet the band? if you do, can you let me know what time they get there? cheers. when i went to the Seether gig i was so desperate to meet them and had no clue what they'd be there so i got to the venue at 8:30am and Seether didn't arrive till 3pm, i don't really fancy doing that again lol. i had some scary weird people coming up to me as well, was not nice but all worth it when i met Seether.

i'm not sure if they'll come out during soundcheck (ooer), but i'm staying tuned to the nw thread here and the nw forums around that time. my guess is they're more likely to come out afterwards, well at least it was that way with ev and seether.

you might catch them arrive though. at the astoria the tour buses stop right out the front of the venue so if your there in time you're bound to see them when they arrive.

really? cool, i've never been there before. only to wembley to see evanescence. well if any of us see them, you'll know about it, hehe.

really? cool, i've never been there before. only to wembley to see evanescence. well if any of us see them, you'll know about it, hehe.

lol. well, the back entrance is really cramped and won't fit a whole tour bus round there. i went to see Seether at the Mean Fiddler which is a few doors down from the Astoria but because i was there at stupid o clock i saw the band that was performing at the Astoria (Kasabian) arrive at 10am and watched them unload their bus, it killed some time lol, but i didn't know kasabian well enough to go and get auto's and stuff. it's funny cause when tour buses arrive there they kind of hold up the traffic lol.

i've downloaded loads of NW concerts recently and it's got me kind of excited and nervous. Excited because i love watching how NW interact with the fans esp Tarja and at the end they all hang around on stage for ages and do this big bow. It's got me nervou cause they like using explosions in their shows and i have a fear of them and fireworks lol.

*raises hand* meeeeee. i'm going :D i can't wait.

Oh how fun..sorry I'm like the slowest relpier ever..uhm how many others frmo here are going to that?

I love the searching for people in the que...I did it at HIM, it's like ten times more fun when you use a mobile phone..as you can kind of guess which area. Just me...thought so.

hey all, how long has it taken for you to get your tickets?? i ordered off ticketline from the manchester academy website and they still havent come and that was 2 weeks on monday *cries*
just to let you know i got my tix today so im a very happy panda today :D

I saw INME at teh Astoria last year and about 45 mins before the doors opened they arrived and had top walk through the crowd to get in they were wering hoods and hats but it was no good they were still almost mobbed lol. Meeting Nightwish would be awesome althougn i wouldn't know what to say :(

hehe me neither, i wouldn't even be able to think of anything to say to anyone from ev, and they're my fav band... although that might be why, too many things to say (ask) hehe. so nw... hmm, i dunno, i'd end up saying something lame and then think of something good after i get home... just my luck!

i'd end up saying something lame and then think of something good after i get home... just my luck! Sods law and yeah same thing would prob happen with me. Still meetimng them or not my excitement about the gig is going into over drive its not even 2 months away :D

same here. i dont even know how to pronounce there names apart from marco. how do you say tarja? is it tarja, tarha (some european languages pronounce js as hs), tarya :confused:??

that would be quite a problem... meeting someone and not knowing how to pronounce their name, oh dear. hmm, anyone got the eoi nw dvd, the bts one? or any interviews or any other media with audio where you can hear her name pronounced? and the guys too, just in case.

In most European countries they pronounce j as a y so it would be pronounced as Tar-ya. And to back up my point, that's how Marco says it on the End of Innocence DVD.

thanks ally! now we won't look as stupid talking to her if we meet her, although we could still get tongue-tied meeting the band, hehe.

It is pronounced Tar-ya, I asked a finnish evboarder.

If you want to actually hear how it sounds maybe this (http://www.saunalahti.fi/~kajun/finns/Samples/tarja.wav) will help :)

I've made the mistake of pronouncing it wrong myself whilst speaking to Emppu. He had no idea who i was talking about :p

i want to make a top for the gig but i dont know what to do! i might put some lyrics on it or something! i like making tops for gigs coz it gets you noticed!!! any ideas?

what's your fav nw song? your thief whore liar top for ev sounded cool. you could always wear that planet hell t-shirt! hmm imagine dead gardens with lots of zombies :p hehehe! ;)

well i haven't heard absolutely everything yet but i think ghost love score at the moment :rolleyes:
EDIT: oo will that be played??

hehe yeah i thought of that but not sure what you could do... just a ghost on its own at night wouldn't have any nw connections, it needs something else to go with it. hmm!? and not sure, it was played recently though, i remember reading elsewhere about someone going to a nw concert. it was played along with... hmm can't remember them all, but dcow was the first song i think, wihaa was last, also nemo, phantom of the opera, etc were played too... gls and planet hell were the other once songs, i only remember one non-once song atm, gah. hmm, there was the kinslayer and wishmaster too, actually. in fact, here's the whole thing:

- From Oceanborn: Sleeping Sun
- From Wishmaster: The Kinslayer, Wishmaster, Deep Silent Complete, Dead Boy’s Poem
- From Century Child: Bless the Child, Slaying the Dreamer, The Phantom of the Opera
- From Once: Dark Chest of Wonders, Wish I had an Angel, Nemo, Planet Hell, Ghost Love Score.

that's not in order ofc though... still trying to find that.

i think i might just make a really cool gothy top of some kind! i find some lyrics and work from them to make some sort of floaty top! i'll get a load of material from the market and put it together some how!!!

ooo i can't wait to hear them live! omfg they're gonna be so awesome! :D

ooo i think i'll leave it at that for tonight! look at the post count! 1,666! hehehehehe

oh, i haven't listened to all of othafa yet... i have the one with the live tracks on them, and the kinslayer and wishmaster are on it. so i could hear a couple of live tracks before seeing them live, cool! i think they'll probably play them, anyway. and the others on the cd will give a feel of what they'll be like.

1 666 = one evil person, one who put the ev in evil ;) that sounds nice, anyway. you'll think of something good to make!

kool. i bought wishmaster 2 days ago. i dont think its as good as 'once.' im still waiting for the century child and bless the child box from hmv to come. i ordered em 2 weeks before crimbo and they haven't come. not ordering off hmv.co.uk again for christmas :mad: play.com way better. free and faster postage.

i prefer once as well atm, but who knows, wishmaster might grow on me. i think it's a really good album, anyway. i've only listened to that and angels fall first in full so far. so it's a bit early to comment on them properly, 'cause they're still new to me, but i like once more atm. usually i find that i like new albums more than older ones to begin with, but in some cases they grow on me instead. i'm liking more of wishmaster the more i hear it!

I dont want to make a "top" list when it comes to Nightwish, because at the moment Im still discovering them and may find that my tastes change, or that a song I heard is better or not quite as good as I remebered thinking at the time. I could say atm though that "Dark Chest of Wonders", and "Over the hills and far away" are the top runners.

I remember Nightwish playing Ever Dream from Century Child too, and I'm not 100% certain but I think they played Dead to the World last time they played here. So they might be on the setlist again.

Saying that though, they can always change, but it's bound to be a good set.

i hope they perform ever dream, thats my fave NW song but i like all the songs really so whatever the set list it will be awesome.

yeah i don't think wishmaster is as good as once too but i love she is my sin from wm so i kinda hope they do that 1. Also i'm kind of impressed with the speed of the keyboard and guitar and the beginning of Wanderlust lol.

i love she is my sin and wanderlust too :D it'd be nice if one of those could make it on the setlist, i hope the kinslayer stays there too, etc. but basically, you're right. whatever they play will be good!

i've downloaded tons of NW concerts recently and they performed the kinslayer in all of them so you might be in luck. the kinslayer isn't my fave NW song but i love the atmosphere when they perform it live, it's electric.
i've been making loads of music video's on my computer recently and i made a really cool NW one to the song Ever Dream with loads of live footage and stuff. i'd really like to put it on the net to show you guys but i don't know how :( i made 1 to i wish i had an angel as well but it's not quite as good. i made a few Ev ones as well.

it isn't my fav song either, but i think it's a good one. most of my fav songs atm are actually on once (i love all the songs on that list i posted earlier), then wishmaster. although i don't have century child yet, i want to get it before the concert, so pretty soon actually.

hmm, if you send the file to me, i can upload it for you. i'm interested in seeing it, anyway. and where's sarineh when you need her? yesterday i saw someone on lj is selling two tickets to the gig on the 12th. not sure how you'd go about making sure they're legit but anyway, just saying.

I think the person who had them has already found someone to sell them to. I was going to try and tell sarineh last night but then I realised that someone had already said they'd buy them.

Century Child is a great Nightwish album. Everdream was my favourite song as soon as I heard it and you've got to hear Phantom of the Opera. I think that album flows really well, there's a kind of common subject throughout so each song has something slightly related to the next.

ah, ok. damn, i know sarineh really wanted to go, and it would've been cool for her to hang with us.

i've heard phantom of the opera, i think that's the only song from century child that i have (although i don't have the tracklisting in front of me, so..). i really like that song anyway, and over the hills and far away, and walking in the air is good... nightwish are good at covers imo, and their own songs aren't too bad either, hehehe.

Nightwish are great at covers. Although I still think that they could have done far better with phantom of the opera. What does 'imo' mean? And whats lj come to think of it.

LJ is livejournal, an online diary site u can post all ur news and stuff in. I know Chris has one, I have one too. They have interest communities as well.

amy

in my opinion and livejournal. how do you think they could've done better, btw? i'm interested to see how you think they could've improved on it, what's it like live btw, anyone who's heard it? maybe i'll try find some live recordings of it somewhere. i know for a fact there's some around 'cause i've seen someone post about them listening to a live version of it.

Ah right thanks, Ive heard of Live journal, I prefer the paper version personally though. He he Im a real noob, still dont know the linguo.

sussurus, you ever heard the original of phantom of the opera by Micheal Crawford and Elaine Paige (I think it was her) in the Andrew Lloyd Weber original, they got the vocal casting and the music perfect. I think in the Nightwish cover, while Tarja is good she isnt making full use of her voice, and Marco (Is it him singing?) isnt really up to that type of part. Its not his style. Like in the Iced Earth version, they got the music perfect but the vocals werent grandious enough for the atmosphere. If that makes sense. (Another minor gripe with the Nightwish song, the music seems kind of, light, not cavernous enough). Pay no attention to me.

erm, i think i've heard it before, but i don't really remember it. actually i know i've heard it before, several times in fact. i just don't remember it. i tried getting hold of the original but can't find it, so i can't compare it. i haven't heard it in the past few years.

yes it is marco btw, i'm pretty sure of that, and from what i remember, most fans seem to think the original male vocals couldn't be improved upon anyway. tarja is more suited to it apparently, but as i said i don't remember the original so as for myself i can't comment.

I don't think ive heard the original but i like the Nightwish version its kind of relaxing if that makes sence

I think the person who had them has already found someone to sell them to. I was going to try and tell sarineh last night but then I realised that someone had already said they'd buy them.

where has sarineh got to?? i never see her on no more.

she's in the usa 'til 10th jan i think. she's been online a couple of times over the holidays though.

i really like 'wish's version of poto, but i prefere the origional! it's just so memorable! has anyone seen the film yet? i think im going to see it next week! can't wait!

ok so has anyone sorted out a hotel yet? i need to and m panicing a little! argh!

The film's absolute crap! I saw it about 2 weeks ago. I didn't really like the play, and the film was... ok it was 2.5 hours long and I swear, there was like 1 minute of dialogue and that was it. I was pretty annoyed. I mean I know it's a musical but for crying out loud! Every time they burst into song I was dying! I went to the toilet halfway through and when I came back they were still bloody singing! ARGH!!!!!!!!

I do like the Nightwish version though. Yup. Indeed, that song was the only good bit in the film.

I don't know if I'm booking a hotel at all. I mean, what's the point? Me and my friends will probably be going out in Manchester for a couple of hours after the gig and catch a late train or something to Bangor. And if that's not an option we'll just stay in a random travelodge. There'll be four of us so that'll be fine!

amy

meh lucky you! i'll be on my own! well apart from chris but unless he fancies coming to hull then i will be on my own!

well i kinda like that sort of film! im sad like that! i love epic stuf!

I love epics too, just not that one! Oh well, nobody likes everything! If they did they'd be pretty boring... they'd have no opinions on anything!

I'm going with Blitz, and my mates Laura and Claire. Woohoo! I'll end up spending most of the time with Laura probably 'cause neither Claire or Blitz know her, and they know each other so... I'm the only one that knows them all! Hehehe!

amy

Who's claire? She's coming too? huh?

You know Claire! I just told u on AIM!

amy

i can't go back that late on a saturday night; no trains! i have to stay in a hotel or b+b. i really need to find somewhere soon but... argh!

so... what's there to do in hull? :p heheh

What time are the last trains on a saturday?

I guess it depends on where you're going but most of them tend to be in between 23.30 or 00.30.

You could try using the tfl journey planner because that can usually give you the times.

yeah, that's about right, ally. except to where i live, which is 20:30... bah. nightwish wouldn't even be on stage by then i should imagine.

the tfl site is good, but don't rely on it. it gave me a route that was longer than i needed to take. i found a shorter route by using another website for the essex area. check out sites for your local area and see if they have journey planners and/or time tables for trains and buses.

anyway, i could actually go back by that other train, but the next train was something like 4am... right o.O so i'm looking for somewhere to stay. i'm not waiting that long through the night to go home! wouldn't be home 'til 6am.

I'll probably be staying in a travelodge again. I'll have to ask Laura what she wants to do as well, since I haven't discussed it with her yet!

amy

i am off 2 c nightwish at feb 18th yay should be ace

Thanks i thought it was about 23:30 just thought i'd better check lol

How much is it for a ticket over to England and then a Nightwish ticket? ;) :D

I wish I could go, but the band isn't coming over to the little isle of green, white and orange :( and my mum won't let me over to England.

ok guys who is going on the 12th? atm i only know me and chris!

ally, wicket (i forgot your name, is it ian?), graham... tom, trying to remember anyone else, not sure if there are any.

yep thats right. Seems most people are going to the one on the 12th should be good

one of my mates is going to the manchester gig
Axey=)

awww the NW gig is nearly here, i'm so excited.

me too, except i can't find anywhere to stay! well, not anywhere affordable, anyway! hmm i'm going to have another good look tomorrow, who else needs somewhere to stay? just kirsty and i? there must be more!

ok sounds great! i spoke to tom last night! he came on msn for a little while. he's been busy and lazy but he says hi to all of you and he misses us too!

so on the 12th we have:

dark star - Kirsty aka meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
susurrus - chris
ally all of me - alex
wicket619 - ian
shadowonmysoul - graham
apparition - tom

any more?...

i am off to the one in manchester on the 18th of feb anyone else off to that one ?

i am off to the one in manchester on the 18th of feb anyone else off to that one ?

Yes, three of us I think. Yours truely included of course. We'll have to have an evboard mini meet up.

woo im going. canni wait

i am off to the one in manchester on the 18th of feb anyone else off to that one ?

Yup. Me!! Hahaha.

amy

Okay, I don't think any of you will know this but just in case, does anyone know roughly how long the gigs will be going on for? 'Cause I'm going to the London gig on the 19th, it says the doors open at 6pm... basically I need to catch a train to get home, but the last train from London leaves at 11:30pm, and it's a 15-20 minute or so journy to get from the Astoria to the train station too... so like, if anyone knows roughly when the gig might end that'd be a big help because then I can decide whether to book train tickets back or to maybe just get a lift there and back if the gig doesn't stop until late...

I'd guess they'd be on stage for about 2 hours. The train i have to catch also leaves at 23:30 but usually the headline band (Nightwish) will be on about 9 so if they have a 2 hour set which is about average probabaly by time got out and to station should still have a few minutes to spare

Yup. Me!! Hahaha.

amy yay i am not the only one anyway it would be cool that we will all be there i cant w8 yay nightwish ps i can play nemo on my guitar

Last time I saw them Nightwish finished really early, I think it might have been about 10pm because they start at 6pm.

So I don't think you'll have a problem getting the last train.

*looks at ticket for 12th* hehe, literally just over a month!

Its the 12th now so YEY only one more month to go. I can barely wait

Is anyone supporting them here?

amy

Yeah a band called Tristania i should download some of their songs as i stilll haven't heard them yet

Yeah a band called Tristania i should download some of their songs as i stilll haven't heard them yet i wonder if Tristania are any good dose anyone know how good they are but they should be if nightwish are having them as guests

yeah i posted about tristania a while back, either here or nw thread or both. there's some samples on their site, haven't listened much really, don't think those samples are good enough to tell really, hardly anything there :s

Cool. I'd better listen to them before I go. *turns Once up*

An amazing headlining band is no guarantee of a good supporter. Anyone remember the Glitterati?

amy

yeah, so if you search both threads for their name ("search this thread"), you can find the link... which i've forgotten, oh dear. but it's probably tristania.com or something like that.

how could anyone forget? i tried to wash it all away, but the imprint is always there and you people keep bringing it back up and giving me nightmares!

::edit:: everyone like my new sig? Isn't it a GORGEOUS picture of Tarja?!?!

amy

thank you, and yes, very nice! nothing wrong with listening to nightwish, anyway. they are the band you're paying to see!

YAY NIGHTWISH!!! I have my ticket. Or at least I have one of them, I have to get Lauras.

There are about six of us going on the 12th. If you're planning on meeting the band your best bet is to wait around after the show rather than before hand

well i'll get there early-ish and i think kirsty said she will too, but yeah there's also a chance afterwards, like an hour or so later i guess.

I'll be getting tehre fairly early but thats mre to get near the front. I was just thinking though before the show is when bands generally meet competition winners and organised things like that so they would probably have to get into the venue quickly but will wait and see what happens. I can't wait around afterwards so if chance of meeting them before hand was there would be good

meeting the band before is easier cause there's not as many people and you can get them when they get off the bus. i'll wait after the show on the 19th as well but on the 12th i'm trying before the show. meeting Seether before the show (which was at a venue a few doors down for the astoria) was alot better than afterwards cause there was only a few people there and we all got group photo's with the band, but afterwards it was really hard cause there was literally hundreds of people and it was just really get an auto and photo, where as before the show there was a chance to chat to them.
The tour bus stops right outside because the back entrance is really tiny to both clubs, almost like an alley way and can just about fit a car down there.

Kevin Martin and the Hiwatts pulled up all their gear in the alley because we saw them unloading it about 4.30 maybe.
I'm thinking of going up there fairly early because if we get really bored there's the virgin megastore which we can go haunt or something but it will depend on how we're feeling on the day. If it's cold then I might not go up there before 1.

yeah i'll probably do the same. i usually have nothing to do on a saturday so i'll head up there and if i don't meet them i can go shopping :D

chatting to the band, sounds great! although, as i said before, i wouldn't know what to say and would be uber shy... oh dear! photos suck but if it's with nw band members that'd be cool. ok now i'm definately going early, just in case. i might need to anyway becaue of accommodation, i did when i went to wembley anyway, and i could chat to any of you if i see anyone.

well, if you get there early, let me know and maybe we could meet up.

sure! if you do go, then you can chat to us while we queue, hehe.

i could indeed, it'll be fun. then i'll get even more excited about the 19th lol.

would be funny if you met the band twice. they probably wouldn't remember but maybe if you said some weird obscure question they would. hehe! and of course it'd be fun! w00t gigmeet!

celebs usually remember if you have a photo taken with them and then the next time you see them get it signed and they're like "ooo yeah" especially if both meets are so close together so thats what i might do.
hmmm an obscure question, i might have to think about that 1 lol

Ask them if they remeber you. Your weird and obscure enough.......:p

lol thanks but seriously, yeah i totally agree with you. maybe i'll ask them what they think about the government (sorry, private joke)

Oh dear Dennis, got another friend who's jealous that we're going to see Nightwish!!! I just got her into Nightwish tonight, by way of She Is My Sin, and now she's real jealous. Oops! I seem to be converting everyone around me to Nightwish fans, so I'll he to be careful my ticket doesn't go missing...!!

And every ticket is sold out on ticketmaster.co.uk , did you see? MAD! Have they sold out everywhere?!?!?!?!

amy

Have they sold out everywhere?!?!?!?!

amy

Yup ^_^ Every gig in the UK is 100% sold out, and I think most of their other gigs for this tour are totally sold out too. So if anyone finds out about it now and wants to go, they're screwed.

Lol you just dont stop converting people do you. Whats he like? Is he cool? My spare may still be avalible. Is he seriously interested?

She is seriously interested yep!

I'm going on the theory that if I play them one of their better songs to a person first off they'll want to hear more. So far all my friend had got was the OTHAFA album repeatedly. Then last night I sent her Deep Silent Complete, and that was it. She Is My Sin is her favourite one. She has half of their albums already. Hahaha!

well, theres always the option of ebay lol.

a friend of mine was supposed to be getting tickets for loads of us to go to the 12th but he took ages, then the 12th sold out (hense why i'm not going to that 1) so i just went out and bought my ticket to be safe and i'm glad i did. i'd be well devestate if i couldn't go, i don't even know if my mate has got his tickets, if not, then i guess i'm going solo again.

Thats great that all the uk gigs are all sold out well its great for NIghtwish not so great for people that want to see them who can't. Was my birthday yesterday and i got From Wishes To Eternity on dvd *sigh* and now i'm even more excited. Not that long till the 12th. My NIghtwish hoodie came yesterday as well :D

I'm still not sure what time to get there on the 15th...and if we try to meet the band as they leave the tour bus we'll loose our place in the queue!

*cries*

I really want to meet them....

any ideas about time to get there or to keep places in queue?

i shouldn't worry about that too much, if they arrive while you're in the queue i'm sure everyone will go over to see them, if your lucky they'll get there early and only a few fans will be there. and if you want to meet the band i suggest getting there for early afternoon like 2 or something. They'll probably arrive about 3.
