Just found out about this and bought myself some tickets - http://www.thestonerosesdubai.com/

I am literally stupidly excited about it, thought my chance to see them had long since passed. :D:beer::thumbup:

I went home to see them this year and i had my doubts but they were very good .
Ian Brown's voice is not the best but the band were still really tight and the crowd were good as well , proper old school . I was lucky to see them at Spike Island all them years ago , well what i remember of it !

The only thing that will not match will be the crowd . U.A.E crowds are pretty shite to be honest , a lot of them will not even know who the Roses are , they're just event cattle , it's a shame they can't just stick to making an arse of themselves at brunch !

I saw Ian Brown in Dubai a few years ago and he was pretty good but the crowd were clueless . He actually nearly chinned some pissed up fella at the front of the stage.

I'll probably still go ;)

Mate, the charlatans were class and there was a couple of thousand BRits, pissed up dancing all night - times that by two or three and you'll have a great atmosphere

You can buy tickets on the Time Out website.

Just scrolled through all of their advertised events and unable to find it. Sold out already, perhaps? So how much are the tickets selling for?

300 for normal and 500 for standing down near the front.

Ticket ordered, you mean. They won't physically get delivered until mid-January 2013 assuming the gig goes ahead.:fingerscrossed:

Ignore Mentalist & his usual negativity. You should be used to him wamting everything to go wrong for everyone else by now.The event organiser is a good guy and the only reason it wouldn't is because of something to do with the band, much the same as with any other event anywhere.
