There are
two words that when put together elicit equal amounts of joy and
sadness.
They are
sold, followed by out.
If we
aren't going to go down the path of talking about artists who have
allegedly sold out their credibility for stardom.
Then what
we are left with is the proclamation of the two words together
regarding an event being now ticket-less.
On the
one side of the coin are the artists who know that people are going
to make the effort to come and see them, and a busy night rather than
playing to one man and his dog, is ahead of them.
For the
venue the words are accompanied by the ringing of their tills.
For a
promoter the sound is one of a sigh of relief, and for those with
tickets there's a smug little voice reminding them that shelling out
early for a ticket was a good idea.
On the
other side of the coin are those who thought that they would just
leave it until the night and pop in.
The ones
who know that they had the chance to attend, but let it slip through
their fingers.
With them sharing sad faces are unfortunately the people who simply didn't have
the means at their disposal to grab a ticket and are now a tad pee'ed
off that the night has arrived and they are still skint.
I feel
for the later, but I'm not so fussed about the former.
And
tonight is one of those nights that draws out all those feelings.
Rose
Parade actually sold out weeks ago, but tonight is the night where
all the work they have put into recording their debut album is
revealed.
The
excitement is mounting and with three excellent supports in place
it's all shaping up to be a 'you had to be there' gig.
I'm fully
expecting to indulge in a weekend of reading posts from people on the
social networking sites that mention how utterly fantastic the gig
was.
I would
advice people to pop in as early as they can so that they can grab a
bite from the much loved menu that the 13th Note has prior
to them securing a space with a prime view.
I can
feel it in my water that this is going to kick off in a spectacular
manner.
