Title: The Killers
Post by: rtid88 on February 17, 2020, 06:02:09 pm
The Killers to play at the Keepmoat Tuesday 26th May! Fantastic booking that.... About time they tried their hand at live music again at The Keepmoat!
If they can't sell out for the Killers than they never will!

Strange they don't go sale for 3 more days ,this date must have been added late as it say they kick off the tour on the 28th in falkirk ,but the keepmout gig is on the 26th

Not a fan of them at all but to have the last Glasto headliner at the KM is a big deal. Well done to everyone who made it happen.

Just hope they treat the hallowed turf with care!

Looks like the classic 'warm-up gig' for the main tour.

Pretty impressive, both have played on the Pyramid at Glasto the over the last few years and obviously the Killers headlined last year.

Not a big fan of Killers tbf but Blossoms are ace.

Jeepers! I've just seen how much tickets for the other gigs on the tour are. £43.50 is the cheapest ticket available. I think I'll just remember seeing them at the Leadmill in the mid 2000's!!

We've got a film screening around the same time. I'm guessing the pitch will be relaid after that.

I wouldn't be rushing to watch the gig, but if it makes money for Club Doncaster, I'm all in favour.

Not sure it works like that. I suspect the promoter will have agreed a rate for the stadium to host the event. They will then sell the tickets and keep the profits once the band/venue/staging etc have been paid

Great scoop for the KM.

Must admit, I've never seen the attraction of The Killers, although I suppose they did at least have enough taste to pinch their name from the maestros.

7 tickets bought, can’t wait. After seeing The Fillers 30+ times over the past 10 years, really looking forward to seeing the real thing....and at the Keepmoat. Great coup and can only be good for the town

I really don't know why people are getting so excited about them coming to the Keepmoat. I've seen them a few times and they're rubbish. They also attract a low-life following, resulting in every place they play at requiring fumigation.

Oh, hang on a minute.......Many apologies..........I thought the thread was about The Millers.

You have to bear in mind the stage, back stage area, lighting/sound area etc which takes up quite a lot of space. They will then have safety requirements to meet as well so it is as straight forward as people think.

Bands make very little money on records these days, so they charge more for gigging.
Title: Re: The Killers

And people complain at the prices that festivals like IoW and Glastonbury charge where you can watch numerous bands for the price of 4 bands charging these prices

IoW is about £180ish Glastonbury is about £280ish but Glastonbury is far far bigger than IoW

Anyone heard owt on this? Assuming as it was just a warm up gig to a large stadium tour it will now be cancelled, rather than rearranged?
Title: Re: The Killers
Post by: knockers on March 29, 2020, 10:16:10 pm
I had tickets to see Massive in Sheffield two days before the Killers date and that’s off so I’d say it would also be cancelled

Me and our kid got tickets to see New Order at the O2 in London in October just before this bas**rd virus took off.

I doubt that will be going ahead.

Think it’s fair to say everyone’s social lives have gone tits up.

We’ve had so many things refunded we’ve opened a savings account and banging it all in there with the hope of being able to book a holiday later in the year....maybe optimistic mind...

I was reight looking forred to this on Saturday. Seen them before. Wasn't over keen on Bob Neil but Dylan Young was brilliant. Hope it's reorganised at a later date.

The Doncaster gig wasn't a warm up, it was part of the main tour.

NME have said the tour will take place in 2021, and lists the effected gigs, and Doncaster was left out. Not sure if this is an oversight or if Doncaster isn't being rescheduled.

They need to stop messing around and just cancel this.

Even if it miraculously went ahead, the ticket sales would be dreadful

If you're referring to the Killers, see my post above. They are postponing the tour til next year however the Doncaster gig isnt referenced in the article, so it may well be cancelled. There's no way it's going ahead next month, either way.

Yes I know mate.
I'm just frustrated why they haven't cancelled it yet and issued refunds.
it's only next month not sure why they haven't.
Title: Re: The Killers
Post by: knockers on April 15, 2020, 08:04:19 am
Rovers/club Doncaster media sent dozens of mails out about buying tickets so you would have thought they could send one out about a cancellation.

If it is just postponed til next year, they won't automatically issue a refund. You'd have to sort that yourself.
