April 2014 UK tour

Hoorah at last for a new album and tour!! Bad timing for my part though as the London date is 10 days after my due date for my first child, ho hum. :/ Got 2 seats anyway and will have to try and sell them near the end if things don't go my way!

congrats on the child

if i go to any of them it will be manchester but right now i'm on the fence. if it were anywhere other than the arena i would be there in a heartbeat. need to sleep on this one!

Got my tickets for Glasgow. The Hydro is a new venue - long overdue in Scotland, big ol' place but purpose built for gigs and not a vast empty hall like the SECC itself. It opens tonight, so no idea what it's like in practice.

One disappointing thing to note if anyone's buying Glasgow tickets - following the link from Elbow's website gave tickets in a poorer part of the venue than following the venue's own presale link.

Roll on April!

which site did you buy from?

Just ordered a ticket for the London show, even though I'm not sure I'll still be in the UK... I guess I'll just have to make it work! I hope it also works out for you Kim, and congratulations again!

ticketsoup.com - there's a presale link in the email I got from them, but it doesn't seem to be something I can (or at least I can figure out how) to post. If you PM me I can forward you the email.

Hi all, how totally exciting!got tickets for London,still deciding where else to go.Potterside massive, how about you?
Kim,we may have an elbow baby!

LG Arena for me .. so corporate coke, pizza and concession stands it is  

Never experienced Elbow in an intimate venue having come late to the party (end of TSSK series of concerts); however as long as I can stand reasonably close to the stage I'll be happy as Larry.  Going with my best friend Pete too, so should be a laugh.

Hope they are as good as the last time I saw them (O2 London).

Just managed to book for the O2.. they were excellent there last time, although not as good as the Little Noise sessions (somehow cosier)
Can't wait and looking to make it Easter up there in London too!!!

Hmmm, decisions, decisions. I love doing the Manchester show but that's the day after Cardiff. Mr and Mrs Woman, Jones???

Gaaah! Unfortunately MCR is out for me... Need to see what sort of time I can get off...

Excellent timing for me as I am in Australia for all of April 2014...

I will be taking their new album with me though....

Yep mitchy, it's finally time to get me a newborn babygrow!!

Hello Ticky, we're faffing about deciding dates too. Leeds looks interesting as it's at least a Friday, but will be weird not seeing a hometown gig. Dunno...

I've booked Cardiff - it won't be the same without us all together

Cardiff for me too. The balcony seats don't look to be the best at this venue, but at the price I'm not complaining!  

I wonder where the warm up show will be??

Bournemouth? /  

2 of us got standing tickets for Liverpool on the Saturday, just edging out Leeds on the Friday.

Alas, no U.S. tour dates.

I guess I'm gonna have to get a passport..

Oh it's BOUND to be in Bury !  

AAAAAH! What wonderful news! Well, it's nice to have something new to talk about with everyone again, though the odds of me making it over for a show this time around are not so wonderful. Still, here's hoping for a set of US dates before too long...and of course I'll be living vicariously through you lot when you go to the UK shows.  So exciting!  

I'm going to Birmingham and Nottingham and I'm so looking forward to the new album. Got to book an hotel room next!

Not posted anything on here in a little while, so *waves*.

Succumbed to the dubious allure of Manchester Arena, though this time with seats

It's fun at the barrier but the last few times it's been more like getting elbowed than seeing elbow! My aching, weary limbs need the occasional respite only a chair can provide  

I must admit, it crossed my mind to buy seated tickets..... We must be getting middle aged.
