nice way for people to start off their EP weekend!

I cant view the blogspot page, can someone put up details?

so when do they let ya know if u got tickets

any1 else think the venue is the olympia

Posters about town say Freetext 'Live' to 50100 and/or go to Vodafone Live to enter...

i hope i get tickets where do u reckon its on

so where did this gig turn out to be on?

good question

dont know, my girlfriend won tickets and she has to collect her tickets at the tbmc between 2 and 5..and the gig is susposed to be on at 6, so i'd say its on in the tbmc

Like the RoL gig, I presume anyone walking past, can just go in ...

no, my girlfriend was told to show the txt message she got about winning, along with photo id. when collecting tickets, its 2 per person that won!!

Sorry Kramer, not having a go at you, just the nonsense that the Loose gig was ... secret tickets, secret location etc

awh yeah i know!!, sure we'll know by six or so what the jazz is with the gig!

Looks like it is in the TBMC because they have no acts lined up for this evening on the website, some reggae/ska thing at 11 but thats about it. I text for a ticket but i guess if i havn't heard by now im not gonna.

Vodafone have hired Meeting House Square for the day...

gig on in temple bar...and it being filmed for something!!

Was offered a ticket for it - but it was at 5.30 today??? Too early for me - did anyone go? ais.

I was there. Decent, enjoyable 60 minutes, especially once the rain held off. We'll get enough of that this weekend The whole thing seemed in danger of falling flat though at the start. The crowd was very sober and not mixing to the front all that much. The Vodafone-hired warmer-uppers weren't doing the job and the whole thing came across as a way of getting footage for Vodafone's next yoof ad campaign. Fair play though to Franz. They're a well-drilled unit and dished up the big hits, reasonably well played and with a smile. They know how to make the punters nod their heads and tap their feet, along with lots of hand clapping. Birthday greetings on Matinee, a storming final This Fire, a crowdsurfer saved from security and a full 60 minute set. Good craic and as good a free gig as you're likely to see.

I was there too, was pretty impressed. Got me the bass player's plectrum.... It was a complete unashamed self-promotion, but you couldn't fault Franz.

Archie, should we fault you for your groupie-esque tactics in getting a Franz Ferdinand plec?
