NorthernLights Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I was at The Hydro for the first time since the beginning of 2019 tonight. Lesson learnt tonight is check your pint before you leave the bar. Had a couple of pints and both were about 60-70% (probably a bit generous with that estimate tbh) beer and the rest foam. They have switched to paper cups which I'm guess means that the staff can't tell as easily when a cup is actually full. I ended up using the torch on my phone to show how little they'd actually poured. Worth keeping an eye out for if you're going there for a gig in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a bottle, and they filled the pint cup up with it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Question here about Ticketmaster and their eTickets Since it seems I can't get a physical one for Arcade Fire and the electronic version is the only option, how does this work? It says the tickets will be in my account or in the app and "When you go mobile, your tickets will not be e-mailed to you or available to print." Does this mean if you don't have a smartphone, you effectively can't use this service? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can do that why would they say you can't print it out, wouldn't that just be the same thing? 6 minutes ago, Christophe said: ...Assuming that not having a smart phone you do at least have a camera/photo function on your phone.

KirkySuperSub Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Apparently there's a game on tonight... I'll happily be avoiding it though, at the O2 Academy to see The Charlatans in their 30th (32nd!!) Anniversary tour...! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same issue with Beach House who are playing Barrowlands on Monday and I refuse to download ticketmaster app. I have logged on ticketmaster website and taken a screenshot of the QR code so hopefully that is fine to use that. Also got the Great Eastern festival this weekend although line up isn't as good as last years but still some decent bands.
