New Year At The Vic?

Postby The modfather » Mon Dec 29, 2008 8:15 pm

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 :wink: 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???? :lol: :lol: :lol:
To infinity & beyond, & even at that do one!!!

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.

£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 :D

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 :D Had to wait no time at all to get served :D :D

Should Scotland be an Independent country?

Yes, I believe Scotland is a country and should therefore govern itself.
No, Scotland is not a country it is simply part of the UK and should therefore be governed from London.
