Rage Against The Machine Free Gig Attracts 120,000 Ticket Applicants

More than 120,000 people have registered for a chance to get tickets to Rage Against The Machine's free gig in London.

Tickets for the show, in Finsbury Park on June 6, will be issued via a rolling ticket lottery on Wednesday (February 17).

The 122,215 registered fans have a one in three chance of attending the event, according to BBC Newsbeat.

Dubbed The Rage Factor, the concert will celebrate the band’s successful Christmas number one bid last year.

The group’s early 90s hit ‘Killing In the Name’ was catapulted to the top spot thanks to a Facebook campaign.

Meanwhile, it has been announced that Rage Against The Machine are to play a show in Dublin on June 8.

What a joke! I registered and tried for two and a half hours to get a ticket. The site kept timing out and then eventually when I connected it tells me all the tickets have been allocated. Hardly a fair system if you cannot even connect in the first place. Two and a half wasted hours refreshing my browser for nothing and I live next door to Finsbury Park. SEE TICKETS YOU ARE A JOKE! :(

Just because you live next door doesn't mean you get the right to attend. Its a lottery, not everyone can go. (I got 2 tickets btw, LOL!)
