Has anyone heard anything about a warm up gig yet?

Subject: Re: Warm up gig? Sat 11 Jan 2014, 15:33

Nope, not a word! Suspect

If there is one... would it be terribly irresponsible to go to it while heavily pregnant? (Please say no, lol.)

I heard that there's going to be a warm up gig. Don't know where or when. I got a text from a mate who's normally pretty good with these things. It said 'I know you're a big Elbow fan so keep your eyes & ears on the press as they're expected to announce a small gig before the album & tour'. It may just be speculation as they've done it before. Guess we'll just have to wait & see.

March 31st at Newcastle Academy is listed on See Tickets - I'd say that may be deemed as warm up.....

indeed it is... we don't often get many "warm-up" gigs in newcastle... they're not playing any gigs this far north (in england) on the April tour so i had secretly hoped they'd play the academy...

Subject: Re: Warm up gig? Mon 27 Jan 2014, 16:03

the newcastle gigs has a fans pre-sale Wednesday morning according to some email blerb being sent out to everyone... no links yet though.

Subject: Re: Warm up gig? Tue 28 Jan 2014, 00:29

So according to Twitter the warm up gig is on March 31st in Newcastle, o2 academy. Tickets go on sale at 9 am on weds 29th Jan, 48 hour fan pre sale

A little too up north for us, best of luck on getting tickets to those up for it!

Sorry a little late, didn't read the last few posts!! Embarassed

Subject: Re: Warm up gig? Tue 28 Jan 2014, 10:34

If it had happened to be in London I would probably have risked it, but don't think I could hack travelling that far alone when I'm 9 months preggers. Sad panda. Sad

Hope all the rest of you that want tickets get them easy enough!

Subject: Re: Warm up gig? Tue 28 Jan 2014, 14:07

Hmm, it's a bit close to my birthday so it would be rude not to go...
I'll see how the fan pre-sale ticket grab goes.

the lads must have known! Laughing

there appears to be a distinct 'lack' of a pre-sale link on the official website? 10 mins to go aswell... :-S

Was just thinking the same thing. :-/

Subject: Re: Warm up gig? Wed 29 Jan 2014, 09:04

its up now... plus they've posted it to twitter (which imho is a poor show - thought this was a fans per-sale etc etc)...

It's very disappointing that they've done that. It just opens the door for the touts.

On a more positive note, I got a ticket. :-)

exactly what i thought...

on an equally positive note, i got my tickets! cheers

Subject: Re: Warm up gig? Wed 29 Jan 2014, 09:10

Got mine

I may have a spare, I'll know later
It was surprisingly easy compared to the Halle and Cambridge gigs
Hope everyone gets sorted

Subject: Re: Warm up gig? Wed 29 Jan 2014, 09:32

No luck for us. Ridiculous situation alerting the entire world via Twitter about a fan pre-sale before fans can get a look in. Whoever looks after their social media needs their arse kicking.

The e-mails were sent out last night, I got mine along with others (confirmed on twitter), it clearly had the link to the pre-sale, this was around 7.15pm.

Secondly, you're all focused on the fan pre sale, you do all realise that O2 have a priority sale as well for this show, and tickets are still available (I grabbed mine from there this morning)

Putting the link on twitter makes no difference to touts, they already know the links long before they get posted, it's what they do, at least putting the link on twitter helped a few people out who claim they didn't get the e-mail last night.

Oh, yes and you can purchase in the general sale on Friday where there will be a much bigger allocation of tickets (the pre-sale is only a very small allocation 400 tickets)
