Honestly, if this was intentional it'd be kind of cool. But it wasn't. I don't know many bands that are SO repetitive that you can do this with their music.

No, muc like Bon Jovi, people listen to it but aren't game to admit it.

I listen to Bon Jovi AND Nickleback.

And I'm not afraid to admit it.

What is with the hate for Nickleback? I seriously don't get it.

They're bland, dreary, repetitive, boring, and their frontman's a douche.


And you've probably just described hundreds of bands with that.

Yeah, the Nickleback hate is really over done. There are far, far worse bands out there. They've actually written some decent music.

I can only tolerate that "This Is How You Remind Me" song, which isnt bad. Other than that though, they're poor and oh so repetitive.

And there are probably worse bands out there than Nickleback, but I don't want to discover them. Blood on the Dance Floor spring to mind though.

my mrs loves them. there's roughly 2-4 songs i geniunely like of theirs, then for the rest they're basically un-listenable imo - and this isn't me eating into the hype, i couldn't care less about what the internet thinks about them, i just can't stand the majority of their songs.

At least Bon Jovi is fun and sexy (from an 80's point of view). Nickleback is like a hybrid of a diet pepsi Nirvana and a non-Christian Creed. Most mundane, bland band ever devised.

My wife is a huge fan, I took her along and had a pretty good time, as Dean in Supernatural said, Bon Jovi is Good sometimes. Nothing wrong with being able to sing along with some middle of the road Rock.

Though my wife did have a shit fit at me when I told her I wouldn't be going along this time.

So what is 'bangtango' ...never heard of them, folks complain about ticketek fees but i guess promoters get what they pay for with ticketing ...for in demand events especially.

I had the same trouble. Was on ready to go from 8.30am. As soon as their countdown clock ticked down to sale time I clicked on "Buy Now" and am still - 2.5hrs later - waiting for the page to load.

I tried on 3 different computers & the other 2 I couldn't even get it to load the bang tango page at all so didn't even get far as the Buy Now page.

Also had a friend trying from her work but no luck there either.

Just another example of a site being unprepared for a bit of heavy traffic & another let down to people wanting to buy tickets.

Hopefully when tickets are released through the usual sites we'll have more luck.

Has anyone actually been able to get a ticket from the horrendously underprepared bangtango site? I got through the first step and then get a 503 error, and now the site has just stopped loading all together. Haven't actually heard anyone saying they've managed to get a ticket yet. Still can't believe they decided to open presale for four gigs simultaneously, without preparing themselves for the huge traffic they (surely) knew they would get.
