Behelzebub 10 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Have to say that up until now I had no idea Carlisle had an airport :confused:But yeah, as Doovde said it wasn't a particularly well-kept secret, seems like most people have known about this for a good couple of weeks. And Viv - last time I checked the Big Weekend was a free event... Quote So save the last dance For me my love 'cause II see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

MrDoovdeHaxorz 11 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 and during that time you'll get sucked in yet again, Viv...

Hammer 10 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Gaga to headline Sunday. Fair play Radio 1, they've managed to get one hell of a line-up in place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Behelzebub 10 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Ah, somehow I knew it would be Gaga. Yeah, admittedly it's not a bad line-up for a free event. Sadly it's not quite enough to tempt me though.

MrDoovdeHaxorz 11 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Well Radio1 just love (over)pushing Gaga anyways don't they, so of course she was gonna be headlining...That said I'd also over-push Gaga... over the nearest cliff.

Viv 14 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 I know it's free, Doovde, but there is cost getting there!! Unless some nice person could fly me in in a private helicopter. Gaga is a terrific pull, so well done - defo Quote Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !! http://youtu.be/59dZzXLPRg0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jono 38 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 A very good line up. Gaga is up there with the choice of Madonna four years ago. My Chemical Romance and Foo Fighters are great for the festival too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viv 14 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 Nobody will ever surpass Lady M, but Gaga certainly smashing second!!Pleased about Black Eyed peas too!! and nicole Quote Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !! http://youtu.be/59dZzXLPRg0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 10 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 I doubt you'll be able to fly to Carlisle, as far as i know it's just a freight airport (mainly eddie stobart stuff). It's a bit of a way out of the city centre though so i imagine there will be shuttle buses from the train station etc.SO EXCITED.

Mike 10 Report post Posted March 30, 2011 I might actually cry. Pretty much everyone at work is gonna try and get tickets, haha. I just hope i fall into the local bias cos otherwise i wouldn't really stand a chance. Hopefully will though, it's fairly close to where i live!

Viv 14 Report post Posted March 31, 2011 Mike if we don't get tickets it's a travesty!why? It will be on the TV!! And the radio!! :| Apparently, according to the R1 website, you're still not guaranteed the tickets if you live nearby?!?! I wish people would get a grip sometimes. I haven't even applied, and *shrugs* I'm just gonna switch on the TV - avoid the crowds!! :hahaha: AND, I won't even have to buy my own food!! People have even been offering to s*** Mills to get tickets. Seriously!! Quote Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !! http://youtu.be/59dZzXLPRg0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not particularly shocking considering that there's 40,000 tickets and over 70,000 people live in Carlisle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's me you're referring to when you stated: "I wish people would get a grip sometimes" then I understand all of what you said above that. I actually meant it'd be nice if I, and Mike for that matter, undoubtedly after years and years of applying of OBW tickets we were able to get them seeing as it's in the county where we live. And if that means I need to "get a grip" as you so kindly put it, then so be it.Just because you don't want to go doesn't mean others don't, Viv.

KingTutsWWH 10 Report post Posted April 2, 2011 Yeh, but many would be well passed a BW though, wouldn't they!! I think?!?! I've applied for tix after all....Why? I thought watching it on TV was more than adequate for you.If it's me you're referring to when you stated: "I wish people would get a grip sometimes" then I understand all of what you said above that.

It would indeed be a travesty if Mike, Emma and SebD (if he wants them) don't get tickets! Quote 'To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity'.

MrDoovdeHaxorz 11 Report post Posted April 2, 2011 So after moaning about the cost of getting there etc and extolling the virtues of watching on TV in the comfort of your own home with food you 'dont have to pay for', you still applied anyways Viv? In a way I now HOPE you get tickets and have to go. That'd teach ya...Personally not much about this lineup grabs me, especially not Gagaaargh, Black Eyes with Peas and Nicole Shertlifter etc. Foo Fighters, Plan B and maybe Tinie are the acts I'll be looking for in the TV coverage, if they were to add Flo to the lineup I might rethink that.oh and look:and during that time you'll get sucked in yet again, Viv... At least I maintain my cynicism, even when it's about charidee :hahaha:Sometimes I really HATE being right... but this isn't one of Those times :hahaha: Quote Professional eater of puppy dogs, baby heads and killer of grannies...
