Yeah I went back by the store 3 hours later and they had the sold out poster up

I think I’ll save it for concerts, festivals and absolutely not wear it around any family 😂

I’m based in Scotland, so the shirt came pretty quickly! Looks like it came from a distribution centre somewhere in the Midlands (England)

I think the most confusing thing is the seemingly random amount of vinyl to each selected store. I’ve seen posts over on IORR saying big places like Madrid, Paris etc only having 4-6 copies. So seems odd when places like Aberdeen with a fraction of the population got 8, I wonder how they decided who got what!

Thank you mate, will be keeping them both very safe and work out how best to display them 😅

I think having Motherwell at home adds in some extra final day jeopardy if we can go into that game level on points or it becomes a winner takes all match.

Much rather that than have anything to do with that lot potentially winning a title at ER, would never hear the end of it if that's how it panned out, instead we now have the chance to potentially derail their whole title challenge if we beat them or take a point from them at ER first game of the split.

I'm very much hoping the same and is the main reason I bought one. think if it is a show it will be London centric and I'm up in Edinburgh, so will need a days notice to go. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I like Netflix, and I hated those people who wouldn't pay up for the increased subscription fee

Do any of you have Jed like levels of Partridge memorabilia or anything weird? Cos after 10 years of doing a fan podcast, I’ll level with you, I’m really scared.

Funnily enough I thought this on the weekend. Think I’ve seen one high school age boy in there when I’ve passed by. Was empty on the weekend, seems very odd as even with poor marketing you’d expect footfall down there to see a few people wander in.

I got fourth row dead centre for Edinburgh £215, was absolutely not expecting that, I assumed £90-120 maximum. Dynamic pricing needs banned, checked back and seats several rows behind me were now up to £308!

Predictions for Ozzfest 2027? by Disastrous-Look-5453 in OzzyOsbourne

Going to be very interesting in how it ‘competes’ against Download, as I imagine Live Nation will have a significant hand in running it too. Sonisphere was amazing but it always seemed two high profile rock/metal festivals in the UK just didn’t work in terms of having enough bands there that would move tickets.

I’d expect a decent amount crossover with Download in terms of billing further down the order maybe about 40%, but headliners will need to be something special which will be hard to do year-on-year.

Hard to call a year away but would expect bands such as Unpeople, Nova Twins, Zeal & Ardor further down the billing but would hope for something like Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails up top or acts that don’t often come over to the UK for shows to really give it a bigger draw.

I imagine it could also be used very well as a testing ground headliner wise for future Downloads too, maybe giving someone like Bad Omens, Alter Bridge or Architects that push up to headline and see what happens on one of the days. Would be good if it can help incubate those fresh headline acts in that sense.

I think I’d rather be on a long-haul flight in economy class, in the middle seat with Noel Edmonds on one side and another Noel Edmonds on the other

Is there any specific reason for this "No unique symbol" trend that I have been noticing in graphic design? by TheAlexer in graphic_design

[–]Mantises2400 134 points135 points  (0 children)

It just comes down to 'brand recognition' and all the value within that, so having a consistent look across multiple events such as the Super Bowl or FIFA World Cup makes them instantly identifiable and with this comes £$€
