Hi everyone. I'm new to this site and have found it excellent for finding out info on gigs/festivals but unfortunately it looks like we won't be able to get to any of them Crying or Very sad

Me and my better half are mad Elbow fans and would love to travel to see them play in other countries but the costs and the logistical challenge of getting people to look after 3 kids and a dog is stopping us booking. We had hoped to get tickets for Bridgewater Hall but the touts got there before us (anyone seen the ridiculous prices on ebay?) and 5 festival tickets (the kids would have to come too!) is again beyond our reach.

So without appearing to be moaning (I am a bit!) the only option for us is to try and go to Manchester on the night and try and get a couple of tickets outside. Does any one rate our chances and what would be a decent budget? We don't live too far away so I'm prepared to give it a go but would rather hear from people who may have done this before-I'm a complete novice at this. Many thanks for all advice/comments. Smile

Hi Jools,

No doubt the touts will be out in Manchester on the night, so who can say on your budget?
Just hope you get lucky on some genuine fans who have someone drop out last minute, and return their spares to the boxoffice that day or you get lucky and have a contact yourself.
No doubt there will be others doing the same as yourself, if they still havn't got a ticket by the night.

Quote from an email from Bridgewater Box Office Supervisor
Quote :
In the case of Elbow and the Hallé, we were not permitted to publicise the event prior to the Manchester International Festival launch and the tickets sold out very quickly after the Festival on-sale announcement. For sold out concerts, occasionally a small number of additional tickets are released on the day of the event, so it is worth giving the Box Office a call if you still require tickets.

Good luck Smile

Hi & thanks for the info in your reply.

I will be on the phone to the box office first thing and if no luck we will still go down on the night. I suppose I'd be prepared to pay over the odds for tickets but nothing too silly.

Plea to Elbow... please play another small gig this year up North! I love you
