Is this sold out?

Anyone else struggling to justify paying £25 for a ticket?

I went to see the kings of leon 2 weeks ago, and even that was cheaper but i understand the arguements about the band need money to play and the smaller venue... (before the pedantic type *you know who yous are* start)

Finding newyear can be very hit and miss these days. At least if you pay for a gig in the vic you know theres something decent on till the wee hours of the morning. Always prefer to listen to live bands anyway.

I've got my ticket, didnt mind paying £25 even though they were cheaper when they went on sale earlier in November. What else is there to do in the town, did the Argyll cheildh last year, where else do you go??

You went to kings of Leon, how much did you pay for a ticket? bet you also spent about £50-£70 on fuel, food and bits nd bobs of shopping when you were up the road too, unless of course they played the vic and i missed it bet your total spend for the day was around £100, only good thing about it that you probably woke up in the morning without a sore head after spending £100.

hhhhmmmmmm wonder what song Joshua will sing after midnight??????? could it maybe be New Years day????

Don't think it is sold out Modfather.

There was an early bird deal where you could have bought the ticket for £16 which was a good price. £25 is fine too when you take into consideration it is Hogmanay going into New Year's Day so everything costs twice as much. It all adds up pretty quickly. It's also done commercially so good effort and good something is on.

Should be a good night.

I agree SCD it should be a good night, I am really looking forward to it

Got an early bird ticket so saved some dosh! As SCD said there will be a lot of over heads, hall, staff, security and thats before you even pay the acts!

I'm working behind the bar so see you there. (the things a man has to do to get out of the house these days.... )

i got my ticket for tonight back in November for £16 which i think is excellent value

really looking forward to tonight, good there is something on

modfather, you should have bought it then instead of waiting and moaning now

£25 is not bad but when you're going as a couple that's £50 before booze! Don't fancy a stand up concert at hogmanay either but I've heard there will be tables and chairs there now - you've got to have a wee bit of a natter too SCD - think you should organise a tartanarmy style ball for hoggers next year

We went to Oran Mor a few years ago - got all dolled up in kilts, ballgowns etc got lots of champagne (fizzy wine), 3 course meal with wine plus celidh and disco til the wee hours, great night! Think it would go down a treat in the town.

Had a great night and really enjoyed the bands

Was good that there were tables and chairs this year so we could rest our feet when we were not dancing.

Well done to the bar staff, having two bars really made a difference Had to wait no time at all to get served
