DIRTY HEADS!!!!!!! BEST DAMN LIVE SHOW EVER!!!!!!!!

u clearly dont have a good ear for music bc dirty heads is by far the best band playing. lets be real here..ur dumb.

I’m confused…Why are Ed Hardy tshirts not allowed???

it’s a good line up, a good show…but, is too much…mostly is punk rock…why?…is a show for rich kids only o what?…ya la kagan estos majes…se pasaron…!!!…and what about the bands?…they have to protest for their fans…huh?

F**K TICKETMASTER!!!

What is “in store pickup”? Does that mean I can go to a ticketmaster location and have hard tickets printed? Or is it regular will-call at the venue?

No Ed Hardy shirt, noted!
I haven’t been to one of these concerts since high school. It would be so damn amazing to go again. We’ll see how this goes!
Jimmy Eat World <3

wow. its a great line up but MANNN the ticket pricess. it wasnt this much two years ago when i went. :/

I can’t believe Ticketmaster is charging us to go pick up our tickets. WTF!?!

the line up is…decent. i’d love to go but the price is way too high. it’d only be worth it if apc, chevelle, deftones can make it.

ADTR=sellouts

damn you ticket master!!!!!

I WANT MY TIX NOW X-D ticketmaster n der stupid ass fees!!!

P.S. dirty heads sux major A$$$$

Come on tool!

Social D…. kick-ass!!!…Bad Religion….awesome!!….haven’t seen Cake yet but i bet they’re gunna be yummy!!! =] M.C.R is actually pretty good live,i was surprised. And the freakin service charges sux ass!!!

F**k Ticketmaster! What the hell is up with all these goddamned fees!?!?!?!? Can someone please make sense of it all?

Does anyone know how long you have after 12pm to get tickets before it sells out? I’ll be at work and I don’t know that I will be available at exactly that time. Thanks

Night 2 is freakin’ sweet.

Anyone who’s complained about TicketMaster — you got a better alternative? I’ve tried TicketFly, Ticketweb, Frontgate and they all suck when it comes to high-volume demand shows.

so excited Vampire Weekend!

I can’t decide on what day to buy tickets the line for the two days are so good.

I guess i can start with the statement “day two is a letdown”…i love phoenix, vampire weekend, brandon flowers and the black keys. but they are not ACX headlining material… not to offend the rest of the bands. but they are bands who are on kroq through their one hit…last year was awesome. MUSE was headlining material. plus there was a great supporting acts. the year before THE CURE, FRANZ FERDINAND, DEATH CAB, THE KILLERS (not just Brandon)….and years before it was DEPECHE MODE, COLDPLAY, WHITE STRIPES…..all these bands mentioned are major bands… its what makes Kroqs Almost Acoustic Christmas worthwhile. you bring bands that everyone has waited to see for months if not years. this years lineup is disappointing on the fact that Phoenix has 2-3 hits of an incredible album…(but they just played LA)…Brandon Flowers is also a great pick. but he actually just played LA this past week… The Black Keys i are incredible. but once again they just played LA with Phoenix. Now Vampire Weekend has been on The ACX roster for 2 years now… and theyre back fro a third, theres nothing to argue there people obviously keep bringing them back. now Florence and the Machine not much to say. shes a wonderful artist, she just made her transition into popular music after her MTV awards performance. but this is once again an artist who just played LA last week. Now The Temper Trap, Neon Trees and ESATMZ’s all fall under one kroq category. one hit bands, Im not saying they wont be producing any other good music in the future, but theyre bands whose one song has rode them here. those songs being Sweet Disposition, Animal, and Home. but if i may say they are bands any of us couldve seen for 20 dollars or less in the LA area in these past weeks, if not this month. and Broken Bells i cant say much… but hopefully you know this years line up does not match the previous years, because there are no ICONIC BANDS this year. In no way am i talking bad about these bands. or i did not intend to. i just want to know what happened?!? NOW i know Kroqs ACX bands majorly influence COACHELLAS line up and in previous cases the go on to be COACHELLA headliners.. and may i restate as much a i love phoenix. please think twice. I know its a Charity Concert, and I Know it will sell out, and im glad that your yearly shows sell out. you guys are doing a phenomenal job. but i just dont know what happened. ANYWAYS IM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO COACHELLA NOW, AND HOPE NOTHING IRRATIONAL HAPPENS. I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS ON NIGHT 1, YOU GUYS DID AWESOME….EVERYONE I WISH YOU A GOOD TIME, AND IM LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE KROQ CONCERTS.

Night#2 *OMG* really .. REALLY!!? soo badd ass! *Crossing fingers* Wishing on my lucky stars hope i can get ‘em!! .. worth every single penny!

both nights are dope .. BUT Night#2!! Brandon Flowers, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Neon Trees woo hoo hahaha

weird, night 2 is this years coachella, not that thats a bad thing. did anyone else find it weird that they we’re playing killers music in the background of brandon flowers?

If MUSE isnt there,theres no point in going!!!!

TRY AND GET MUMFORD THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

Most of you bitching about not liking every band on both nights are probably just pissed because you really wanted to wear your Ed Hardy shirt.

Thanks KROQ, now i don’t have to go to my company christmass party! Long beach in a Yacht, Sea Food Buffet.. I rather See Billy Corgan..

2nd year in a row that we will be attending wih my girl…I hope I don’t dumped jeje.

F**KYEAH!!! I’m in for MCR<3333, Anberlin, Social D, and Dirty heads!! x)

GUYS I JUST FOUND OUT THE SPECIAL GUEST FOR NIGHT 2
ITS A SUPERGROUP FORMED BY THE FOLLOWING
JUSTIN BIEBER(VOCALS)
SLASH(GUITAR)
CARLOS SANTANA(GUITAR)
JOHN PAUL JONES(BASS)
TRAVIS BARKER AND DAVE GROHL(DRUMS)
MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN(BACKUP VOCALS)

how do I get a street team and a password???
Also when does the show begins??

the concert has a great lineup, but the RIDICULOUS charges imposed by ticketmaster really makes me not want to buy the tickets purely based on that principle.

Where is the password for ticketmaster?

does it send to my email?

Has anyone gotten the password for the ticket sales yet?

whats the password

How good are the mezzanine section 27 row B tickets?

Hey Lightning, KROQ should really do something about all the people who clog the internet line for tix only to turn around and sell them for double what they paid. KROQ may not be making a profit, but they sure are.

I soo want to go!!!! (Incubus) Ink on a bus AGAIN!!!!!

the freacken street team didnt send me the damn password!! and yes i am a member and yes i clicked refresh many times and yes i was standing by 15 minutes prior to noon and yes i called the number to get the password and it was busy. just dumb. good luck for those who are going to night 2.

SUCKS! YOU GUYS NEED TO PUT MORE TICKETS FOR NIGHT 1! D:

Good lineup except…..Vampire Weekend=worst band ever. How can a group so shitty and untalented make it??? Weird…..I hope somebody Rick Roll’s them in the middle of their set.

12.02 no tickets available for night 2!!!!????

I was on livenation.com from 11:59 clicking reload until the ticket sales were open and I kept at it until 12:15 and every response I got was that there were no tickets. Its unbelievable to me that I didn’t get through once. What did it sell out in 1 minute? I am bummed! I was really looking forward to night 2.

so no when u print out the tickets ?

I was on my laptop at 11:55 and at 11:59 I kept refreshing until I was able to buy tickets, I just pasted in the password and all of my credit card info was already in the system so buying tickets was a breeze for me, sorry to those who couldn’t get in

You know Lightning, you’re line-up for Acoustic Christmas seems to always be bigger than Coachella. You can make so much more money if you created three days in a larger arena like you did with Weenie Roast in 2000 (?) at Angels Stadium. You know you can do it. This is how I would organize it if you cared… First you put a cap on how much the charities make. So whatever they’re making now, don’t give them too much more. Then put the rest of the money into the bands and KROQ. The fact here is bands evidently care much more about radio station events than Coachella because they get more radio time which is so much more valuable. The venue you should have it at would be the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

Okay so I bought night one tickets for my little brother and I BUT they’re in different sections, the sections are next to each other though, do you think people will be lenient with him just squeezing in there with me?

I dont want to leave him by himself

Dude what the hell?! Why are there so many negative comments on here? The lineup for night 1 is not only diverse in musical style, but also in the decades they are from and the crowds they will draw. Got to hand it to KROQ not just for selecting all excellent bands to play night 1, but also for the order in which they selected them to play. Switchfoot is a great choice for an opening band. They’re energetic enough to kick the show off, but also compatible enough with Anberlin that when the next band takes the stage it will feel like a natural transition. The placement of the Dirty Heads after Anberlin I’ll admit might seem perplexing, opposed to having them play before Cake to get you into the rap/rock mood. However having ADTR break up the two rap/rock acts is still a smart move. It’ll give the lesser enthused in the crowd a break in between the two acts, or on the flip sidee of the coin, a break between Switchfoot, Anberlin, and ADTR for fans more inclined to the styles of Cake and The Dirty Heads. Same thing again happening with JEW and Bad Religion, MCR and Social D, Social D and Smashing Pumpkins. While I think Jimmy Eat World and MCR go together more than My Chem and Bad Religion no question, again, they’re just breaking up the sets and mixing it up.
For all of those that are saying My Chemical Romance does not belong in this lineup, again I’ll point out that diversity is key for a successful AAX-Mas. Second, for those of you who haven’t seen the band live, they really do put on an amazing set, and I urge you to give them a chance; they are as much of a valid rock band as any of these other bands. Just because they don’t fit the ‘conventional rock band’ role, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give them a fair shot, I really think a lot of people will be surprised by how good they really are. Same goes for all of those hating on The Dirty Heads. Great live shows, great vibe, keep an open mind about these guys. There have also been a lot of comments about how, “well, only so and so are actually good bands, the rest suck…why are these bands playing together? Fans of blank would never listen to blank, and those guys suck”. To validate everything I’ve said prior to this, I actually enjoy and am looking forward to ALL of the bands playing night 1, and I’m not just some random internet person hypocritically telling anyone who happens to read this to have an open mind. I’ve seen The Dirty Heads once, Bad Religion once, My Chemical Romance twice, Social Distortion once before, and Anberlin at last years AAX-Mas. I’m not a follower of bands because they get a certain amount of airplay, or because they’re popular. I listen to what I listen to based on quality, not quantity of hits, and all of the bands on Night 1 are of excellent quality. If you want to get mad at KROQ, really they’re just trying to satisfy everybody, and if you don’t like it, then get the fuck out. You know….unless you can honestly say that that creepy guy from 2 doors down is holding a gun to your head and threatening to do sexually perverse things with your wife unless you buy these tickets to night 1, nobody is making you buy them, so why waste your pathetic life complaining? This post is for Lightening, because it seems like very few have anything positive to say about the show, and I feel sorry for someone who has to respond to so many posts of a seemingly vast sea of idiots. Thank you KROQ and Lightening, Night One’s lineup is one of the best lineups I’ve ever seen!!!

heeeey why is there only nine bands for night two and night one has ten!!! I demand one more!!

Is the concert?(almost acoustic x-mas)SOLD OUT??!!
I Really wanted to go to the one on
12-12-10

Tix sold out in 13 minutes? More like 2 minutes. Tix are available …. through scalpers. So lame.

411 for the ACX rookies….if you dont get in THE VERY SECOND they go on sale, you’re outta luck!
REFRESH too fast, and ticketmaster/livenation wont let you in period.
Mess up on the captcha or password…again you’re out!

Though they say it sold out in 13 minutes…it sold out the first few seconds…rest of the time was for the people that got in to complete their transactions. Anything available after that was for incomplete/bad transactions.

We’re 50/50 even with friends helping to get tix…and on the years that we dont get in end up paying an arm and a leg from scalpers.

KROQ should just set aside half the tix for Para Los Ninos and let them ebay them….they’d probably get quite a bit more $$$$$$ and we’d know it’s all going to them.

bAD RELIGiON social d and smashin pumpkins guna b badass

I got tickets to almost acoustic christmas… and they are very decent seats… but I’m turning 30 the weekend of this show and it is seriously my one wish… to be able to dance dance dance in the pit!
