Just been checking out Ebay to see how much two tickets were currently at. My limit would have been £220 but can't go any more than that. At that price that is way way above what I can afford but it is my hubbie's birthday and thought it would be fab treat. I think I'm just about giving up on this concert now the tickets on Ebay are just selling at ridiculous prices.

We were hoping to go to the gig at the MEN in September but have booked to see Coldplay the same night which I'm still gutted about. My other half is a fan but my two daughters also desperately want to go too and as it was a christmas present I feel really rotten constantly asking them if they would like to see Elbow. I'm gutted there is no other way around it, other than splitting myself in two for the evening!

Roll on the next album (it's gonna be a while) and next tour.....

Don't worry Lynne, one thing you can count on is that they'll be back, and I bet next tour there will be at least 3 shows you'll go to!!

Just NEVER let them forget the sacrifice you made for them. Twisted Evil

Subject: Re: Elbow & The Hallé Orchestra Sun 10 May 2009, 20:41

Thank you for that. I'm driving my other half nuts, keep going on and I think the sad thing about it is, he is gutted too to miss the final concert. He said if they announce a final final date on the Saturday we'll be there.

Was looking forward to the Finest Hour but think that G. Garvey is on his hols this week and has a stand in.

Thats a great photo Lynne Thumbs Up!

I'm a bit of a techno-phobe and just discovered how to put it on.

It's really awful awful of me but a great one of Guy. I was completely star struck and look like a rabbit in headlights. It was taken after the Newport gig at the stage door. All the other members of the band were there too. They quite happily chatted, took photos and signed autographs. It was a fab gig.

Oh, I want my photo with Guy now....

LOL, when he sees me coming he'll get a security guard and tell him "Don't let her near me!!!"

Subject: Re: Elbow & The Hallé Orchestra Mon 11 May 2009, 19:47

Yeah but if theres 20 odd of us we'll be able to overpower a couple of security guards, he wont stand a chance. Anyway Guys so lovely and he'll be overcome by all the effort we've all gone to he'll be happy for the odd photo (probably) Very Happy

A blow by blow account of the evening's events is a must. Want to here all the nitty gritty details.

Only gutted I won't be there in person.

Hope you manage to get some good photos too.
