FAO ADMIN

why the hell did you announce the glasgow date after the rest? i bought tickets for manchester which i now need to sell but need to wait until i get them which wont be until nearer the gig. i now need to find money for tickets to glasgow. pre-sale goes tommorow and i think it would be nice of you given the fact you've put me in the dogs mess financially that you send me the pre-sale password to my inbox. i signed up too late for the tuesday newsletter.

thank you.

www.beastieboys.com never claimed that all european dates had been announced. neither did we, as the administrators, plan this tour, book the venues, nor decide when and how to announce the shows. so it would be nice if you stopped blaiming us for it, since we're not the ones behind it.

anyway, i feel for you. the best we could do is let people know when all dates are released for a specific part so that people know when to buy tickets and when to hold on for more cities to be announced. though this isn't always possible since it's first of all not our call and second of all, it would sometimes interfere with the way the tour is announced, which might lead to inaccurate official statements.

and on the personal matter i'd say i have some things i don't like about the way this tour was planned either and i went through some strugglin as well to get my shit together. hope things work out for ya. they always do.

Hey, TPK! While talking to some radio DJ before a show, I noticed that his working pass said Beastie Boys 2004/2005. Can you give us any hint if this means the band will be coming back around once a gain perhaps in the Spring??? Is it a "likely" thing?

Because you have a direct connection to the band, please do drop the seed to them that a return Leg would definately sell. They are JUST NOW warming up and getting comfortable in their groove....and the next thing we know, they will be done with the U.S., which would be a shame for all (them and us) if they did not return.

[I didn't wanna start a new thread with this; just looking for a few crumbs of info, if you can share!]

The passes say 2004/2005 because they're touring into 2005 - they're doing Japan in mid January and then Australia and New Zealand in the second half of January and start of February.

i dont think things will 'work out'. manchester tickets are barely making face value on ebay and the company i bought them from wont take them back. the uk isnt that big a country, the organisers will have known that with no scottish date scottish fans would snap up manchester tickets, so there will now be a fair few folk with tickets for a gig they cant go to and nobody up here to sell them to. even if the glasgow date hadnt been finalised it would have been ncie to have been told there would be one. not by you admin lot but by someone in the know.

but cheers for emailing me todays pre-sale password. oh sorry you didnt!
