Elbow Return

Brilliant, I got the summary email at the same time as one of the original confirmations. Seems I only got one set of tickets for each night after all, phew.

Thanks Mackem.

I presume all Londoners on here have gone for standing. Otherwise you'd have been complaining that See are giving no indication as to where the seating allocation is at the O2. How can they expect us to book seats not knowing whether we'll end up at the back of the Upper Tier or one of the Lower Tier blocks next to the stage. And charge the same price for both (which is what Ticketmaster seems to suggest). Even if they aren't prepared to allocate seats straight away they could tell us which blocks are in the presale. I'm waiing for the O2 presale on Thursday now; they may be a worse seating allocation (but then, who knows?) but at least they'll tell us what our choice is.

Incidentally, the Glastonbury forums have been saying that the new Seetickets website has been far less reliable about sending out confirmation emails than they used to be. If you want confirmation that you've booked go here

Ooops, Sorry Mackem - forgot to say thank you !

Ofcourse… not often we come away from anfield and are disappointed with just a draw…

Hey, I bought two tickts for the London 02 date this morning but i still haven't gotten my confirmation email

Can anyone tell me if that's normal and is there anyway i can check to make sure my order is confirmed?

Kinda freaking out now, I'll flip if i can't go.

Any help would be very much appreciated

It's entirely normal for emails from See tickets to be delayed, particularly when there is a big pre-sale/sale on. Everyone here has gone through the same thing, don't worry, read some of the posts above. Also, see Mackem's first post up thread on how to retrieve your confirmation if you can't wait for the email to come through.

thanks alot, i'm just not really used to getting tickets on the web.

Where's that thread?

Was so excited whn i heard they were coming back, probably the best live band i've ever seen.

this thread, some of the posts are within the last hour or so.

Oh, sorry.

Thanks so much, i found my reference number there anyway.

I panicked there, thanks for the help

Just got tix for Manchester, got a bun in the oven which will only be a few months old by March so cant take advantage of babysitters too much, but at least I'm going to one
Oh and I've had my confirmation email.

Thanks Mrs Woman for the 02 link but still saying sold out. Hopefully will try on Friday for some standing ones. My sister is down that way and is gutted, so hopefully there will be more available then, unless the 02 have bought a load for themselves to sell. Not sure how these things work!

However, definitely going to Nottingham, Yeahhhhh! PS Congratulations to Nellie, what wonderful news!

First 2 tickets on ebay for £125. Gits.
MEN sold out too quickly, but at least more are available on Friday.
Congrats Nellie!

Tickets for Manchester purchased. Hotel booked as fancy having a night out afterwards.
Meet up beforehand anyone? Sinclars Oyster Bar?

Are tickets *that* much in demand like??? more fool them if they buy it... you'd think seetickets would be able to work out who it is

.....I have been decorating for the past two days, and was OTT at work today, so completley forgot about the bloomin tickets sale !!!!!!!!!

However, no probs - Got a couple of tickets for Glasgow about half an hour a go (Seating, not sure about - but then I am getting on a bit)

Even booked the hotel next to the SECC, prior to them hiking prices up too much

I'm sorry to say that i didn't even try. I'm really happy for the guys, but these venues are too big for me, i like my little land of venues, i wish them all the best and i really REALLY hope i see them at some point this year!

I absolutely understand what you're saying Sarah - I hadn't been to the MEN for at least a decade before last year when I saw Elbow, near the front, brilliant, mainly because of vantage point and Pearl Jam ' decent seats' but I did feel somewhat detached from the gig.

If I couldn't have got a standing for the MEN I'd have been happy to got to Liverpool with a standing ticket.

They are my favourite band of all time and I'd watch them on Blackpool beach in January, pissing down in a storm with seagulls defecating on my head. It doesn't make me any more of a fan or less, just the way I am.

Well I've got tickets for Cardiff, Manchester and Liverpool. Ecstatic.

I'm so there! January the what?

Skint, so didn't get O2 tickets in the end - but I'll check here and facebook nearer the time just in case...

Got my confirmation e-mail for Newcastle tickets this morning.

Can't wait now.

Officially "excited".

i am hoping that they might do a smaller gig in Manchester too ... as yet another sign of appreciation for the city they love so much

MEN last year was amazing, but i cant see them topping that experience for me at the same venue

Glastonbury tickets on sale soon so was wondering what the chances were of Elbow appearing on the Pyramid Stage at or after sunset

Do agree mate re the MEN - but for the sake of a 15 minute journey on the tram to miss seeing my favourite band, simply doesn't compute ! Looking forward to Sheffield more - not had a booze up there since following Man City at United or Wednesday.

I got tickets to their show in Cardiff and I'm SO excited to see them on British soil! The only other time I got to see them live was supporting Coldplay in Toronto, and now I will be studying in the UK for the year so I can see them in a proper, full show
