New from NZ

[philwith1l]

So! I'm Phil, from New Zealand. I'm only 21, so I've been listening to Franz for most of my life. I was 12 when the first album came out. I was studying the first World War, and found this band. Not long after that, I remember asking my mum to buy me a CD, since my walkman had broken. Franz it was. Have also bought all the other albums since.. Just like everyone else on here no doubt.


I'm not a huge forum person, I did (Oddly enough) have a reason to come here.

I saw that Franz are playing in Australia in November, and immediately told my best friend there (Who I have known since I was 10) that I was coming over, and we'd go see it. His birthday is a week before, so I promised him I'd shout him tickets.

This isn't a sob story, just a OMG I AM EXCITED.


1: Tickets are on sale October 3. I assume that means 00.01 October 3 BRISBANE time? NZ is ahead, so that will be 3am I'm guessing. Assuming the tickets go on sale that day, in the country they're playing in.

2: How would I go about getting a photo with/handshaking with the guys? I have never seen live music, and this will be absolutely amazing, if I could get a photo with them after the show (If not, that's still cool).


I'm even surprised, I commented on the picture of the Australia dates "Pants-shittingly excited" and got like.. 15 likes. I was expecting one D:



ANYWAY. Any answers to these would be brilliant. (Sorry that I probably posted this in the wrong place. I'm a noob D:)

Hi Phil, welcome to Leather Hips

With regards to your questions :

1. Certainly over here in the UK tickets that are sold for gigs on sites such as Ticketmaster usually go on sale at 9am on the day unless otherwise specified. I think there's only been one occasion that I managed to get a ticket for something just after midnight and that was by chance more than anything

2. Those of us that have met the band have found the easiest/most successful method is by hanging round the stage door/back of venues. sometimes for hours. It's not a 100% guarantee of course but I've always met them for the most part in this way. Others include signings/meet and greet oh and when Bob stopped me in the street in Rotterdam for a chat lol

If there's anything else please don't hesitate to add to the thread/s and no worries, we all had to start somewhere
