Gonna be honest, everyone is gonna see the Chili Peppers. Do your own thing and see the Chili Pipers.
tjluv
Well, you can always 'give it away' ...
2and900
If it's too good to be true, it's not true.
StormheartKing
Just listened to the Pipers on YouTube. I'd go see them over the Red Hot Chili Peppers any day.
IStoleALoafOfBread
I've seen Red Hot Chilli Pipers live....great concert!
colinstu
Has anyone noticed that Chili/Chilli is also spelled differently between these two bands? Another indicator...
Muffythevampirelayer
Nightmare? Sheeez people
ADisturbinglyAttractiveCactus
I noticed that Chilli had two Ls, let alone the piper thing. Sigh.
alenfishman
you know why i knew this story was bs, cuz no way that is a dude on the left.
ICantBelieveItsNotGif
Fail? That's a fucking win dude
Opportunist
Not with their attitude. Yours, however, is pure win!
JohnSnot
Why does that guy look like some woman rocking fake moustache? I can't be the only one
rickanddianne
You are not the only one. Let us all figure this out.

He glued his own pubes to his face.
EdNigma1134
Maybe if the gf got better eye lashes done she could have seen the tickets better.
begonedouche
oh come on, this too funny. i'm sorry but it is. "pipers'" hahahahahahaha. that said, I bet that band puts on a great show!
rockjock29
I'd go to that show on purpose. That sounds awesome!
tothe9ines
“Have fun seeing Bob Sagat!” “No it’s Bob Seiger...... awww.”

Lol I thought of this too
TheSpindrifter
Why not both?
Lilnaugrim
Dude these guys are fantastic! I've seen them a few times at Scottish festivals! They're super nice too!
IDONTKNOWWHATWEREYELLINGABOUTLOUDNOISES
I noticed the two "L"s in the first photo and thought "Waaaiiit..."
jpparkenbone
That shit is intentional.
JustKiddingOrAmI
“Nightmare” is thrown around loosely these days. I thought he woke up in an Thai prison framed for a murder of a hooker he didn’t even know
shinjiKuuun
With one kidney
mdzmdz
Well he did wake up in an apocalyptic wasteland - or Belfast as it's better known.
Gayforbae
Is hat better than one he did know?

"I saw the wrong band, oops" isn't quite the same as "Hooker Mystery Theater"
Iamabananaaa
You flew to Ireland. Idk what you expected without reading properly
RootEnoch
Another Slane Castle?
tr3kstar
I would pay more than double that to see them on a double bill with Hayseed Dixie.
Aethers
I call shenanigans. Who makes those plans and spends all that $ and doesn’t look up at least the venue or the bands website?
thebigfatman
Exactly. Surely if he loves the band he is bound to know whether or not they are touring
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
Hahaha, every time you get a chance to bet on the intelligence of the public at large, always take the under, you'll never lose
Aethers
Lol so true . I try to be an optimist but that’s very hard in this world %-)
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
"Nightmare"? The concert's $40, Ryanair tix are like $60 each, and then YOU'RE IN BELFAST. Fuckn' own it. Go to a weird show. Awesome memory
ConorOSully
Unless you're from Europe Ryanair tickets are not 60 each
Grumblemags
Yeah!
axiomatik
The guy looks like a woman with a beard glued on.
Begotten
Well he is British

Came here to say this. Saw the preview pic and thought this was about a girl sneaking in somewhere disguised as a guy.

Exactly that.

No.

Mikeiller
You got to see a great band that most people don't know AND you've got a good story out of it. I don't see why you're complaining.
probshouldntsayitbut
I heard on the radio of a fella who made the same ticket “mistake” so went to the concert anyway and loved it!
pachyderm
A> The Peppers suck. B. I'd rather see the Pipers.
superhans1988
You suck
pachyderm
no. no i don't.
rickanddianne
You kinda do.
pachyderm
Not in the least. I understand yer confusion because u obviously like things that do suck, such as RHCP. But I can assure you I do not suck.
superhans1988
Oh but you do
0utrider
Honestly, if you can't have a fun and romantic getaway on your trip to Ireland, the band is the least of your worries.

“Nightmare” doesn’t imply a great time. Lol But who knows!

Choosing Belfast as the place to visit is #1
prodmerc
Well it was Northern Ireland, and it was Belfast, sooo... :D
Awolfspittingfire
Honestly your username says it all, typical
experiencemike
I drove to California from Chicago to see Cage the Elephant. They only played half hour so it was a little saddening but wow, well worth
experiencemike
The effort to go out there and stay in LA for the time being. So much fun
chrisdafish
How were you able to make that assumption
DevonGronka
"Oh no I accidentally booked us two tickets to Ireland. I guess we have to go enjoy the rich history of one of the most beautiful islands1/2

DevonGronka
on the planet now. Such a shame..."
down2stars
Right? It may not be what you thought you were getting but if you roll with it you could still have a ton of fun & a hilarious story to tell
dragonherder
They d id have fun if you read the whole thing. They actually had a blast.
0utrider
Stationed in England, 2 trips to Ireland, loved it! Fantastic people, good beers and ales, beautiful countryside. Gorgeous redheads ;)
DarkwingDuc
1.) Honestly, I'd rather see the Pipers in Ireland, makes for a more fun and interesting story. You can catch the Peppers in the US later.
DarkwingDuc
2.) Tix won't be $40, but you won't have to pay for international airfare and lodging either.
0utrider
A trip to Ireland is a far better experience
hetnkik999
Well seeing as he wrote, "thought I'd got a rate good deal on tickets n'all," I'm gonna say he's not American.
DarkwingDuc
Americans make typos, too. Even if not American, I'd wager he's from a western country the Chili Peppers are likely to tour sooner or later.
mochara
It's not a typo, it's slang that indicates he is probably not an American.
hetnkik999
There aren't any typos. He just talks like he's British. And his friend spells "realise" like a Brit. He's British is what I'm getting at.
DarkwingDuc
1) "rate good" isn't a typo? And if he's British, flying to Ireland isn't a big deal. What's so funny about this is we're thinking who took
dirrrrtypop
EVERYONE IS AMERICAN DON'T YOU KNOW
Imthekidbackontheescalator
Seen them twice. They kick ass.
taco1910
Yeah used to see them almost every year at the Dublin, OH Irish festival. Wish they came last year :(
batmanmf
I bet.
thezookeeper
They are pretty awesome
lokikismit
My friend took me to go see them, it was great!
AfoolishMantle
I'd pay more than 40

Dude the bag pipes are one of my favorite instruments.

Had a nickleback ticket on my passenger seat. went shopping and came out to a smashed window. Fuckers...left two more tickets on the seat

Wrong ticket twice?

glitt3rpixi3bombsh3ll
lotta ppl like to bag on bagpipes but i really really like them. kinda wana go see this band myself!
Aceituna
No, dude, they blow.
iwritefantasy
+1 for pun.
DefinitelyNotCera
As a piper, respect the man who can finger, squeeze, and blow all at once.
feor1300
Then they squeeze. Then they blow some more.
CaptianJack1989

Skepticoolthree
I bet they do . Kinda easy to be a kick ass band when your playing music from a kick ass band. I appreciate cover bands by the way .
glitt3rpixi3bombsh3ll
love cover/tribute bands. i'm a musician and tbh i would be perfectly happy to be in one, rather than an original one. they're fun.

$40 for a bagpipe cover band. WTF?
[deleted]

Begotten
Youre cheaper than me
MacaroniAndDeath
Ticketmaster took $35 of that in fees.
MisterGeneric2
They put on a good show: https://youtu.be/WbY8eNkaW4k
SweetSweetMemes
You wouldn't be bashing bagpipes now, would ya
beelzebob23
Nope, just overpriced tickets.
Leithoa
Mostly eaten up by the venue & TicketMaster.
spattr
I'd pay to have heavy covers put over the bagpipes to muffle the screech.
DrKriegersClone
It's funny. Why not?
beelzebob23
I don't think it is worth $40, obviously.
cancerriddenlung
I know. It should cost at least $240!!
beelzebob23
I would pay $14 at most.
cancerriddenlung
Some people just don't appreciate good bag pipes
beelzebob23
Others make bad assumptions based on very little information.
cancerriddenlung
You hate bag pipes
baconandplagues
You know... I'd pay it
KharnApproves
I just looked them up and spent about 40 minutes listening to them. They’re actually pretty awesome.
holymoley69
They are fucking great. I'll pm you a link if you want, probably the best cover of a very popular song you will hear!
beelzebob23
That's OK. I know how to google. Thanks though.
FsImgur
I don't know, there's like a 1,000 fans going bonkers over them - https://youtu.be/WbY8eNkaW4k
beelzebob23
One-whole-thousand? WOW! Almost enough to 1/2 fill a small venue.
FsImgur
I guess the real question is - does that look like $40 bucks worth of happiness. I'd say probably yeah.
beelzebob23
To each their own.

SarcasticComment
Still stiffer competition than "world's best dad" when you only have 1 dad up for the award and the mugs are printed in mass
botlaw
Whatever. I’d rather see the Chilli Pipers for $40 than RHCP for whatever amount they charge (I think it was $150 last time here).
Skanah
That's absurd, I've seen a few of my all time favorite bands and never spend more than $40
funkmoth
I think we paid $120 to see them at summfest. Great performance! It thunder stormed but we were under the awning.

SaraWithoutAnH
RHCP has always been terrible live
FeralFrog
Strongly disagree. https://youtu.be/fV9IJVoFR_Q
Bullchip
Kiedis is quite bad in live. But the band was awesome. Many impro jams etc. And the chemistry between flea and frusciante !
2muchpowertit
Strongly agree! Made me hate the band. Gnarles Barkley came on before and sounded great. Been a band for too long to not set sound right!
