Elbow play MEN

They're ALREADY on ebay!!

Crikey! Knew this was going to be a 'big' one for the band and for Manchester but didn't realise the demand for tix would be quite so high. Was easier to get them for Bruce Springsteen & E-Street Band indoors at Earls Court ... and that was the first time he'd toured with the band in about 15 years!!

Are Elbow entering the 'stratospheric' phase?

I feel like I need to lie down in a cool dark room!

Who are these nobodies seeing OUR band!?!

I don't even want to know...disgusting.

They must have put them straight on. There's loads.

Bastards!
ROT IN HELL YOU BASTARDS!!!!!

On Seetickets there's still loads of seats available! And at the normal price.

I must admit, the nerves before I got them were only comparable to Oasis at Maine Road and anytime Morrissey tickets go on sale, the sweats started at 7am.......works mental but you just have to get your priorities right !!

Touts are going to be minted after this one ... just wish there was a fairer way round these things.

I've got one spare standing ticket if thats any good to anyone, only needed 3 but got the extra 1 so I can pass it on, stops the scrotey touts getting it anyway!
Really feel bad for anyone thats missed out, hoped everyone on here would get them.

Oh you sweetie. Looks like a cuople of other people got extra tickets too so hopefully everyone will get to go. The bloody limit was 4! I totally would have bought extra if I could have!

Hopefully if enough people have spares everyone will get sorted out without having to resort to paying silly prices.

I'm not suprised about the tix being on eBay, it always happens.

The limit of 4 is a sensible one to try and reduce touting. You could always have had a ticketmaster window and a Seetickets window open together to get more.

I did. The Ticketmaster wasn't working. Ticketline didn't work. XFM didn't work, MEN didn't work, Seetickets didn't work. I ws close to tears and then, from out of the blue, the gigsandtours site opened. I thoght I was going to die!

Blimey! You using a dial up modem or something? I had no probs at all on Ticketmaster, 9 a.m. on the dot...

Howling Bells are supporting them, their debut album is absolutely fantastic. A great choice by Garvey and the lads.

Still determined to go down to the Bridgwater with a £100 burning a hole in my Levi's but NO MORE.

No. Pretty powerful PC actually. I was at work though. I don't know. I don't know why it was so hard. Maybe I did something wrong? I had two browsers open - Explorer and Mozilla -and I had Seetickets and another one (gigsand thours I think) opned on Explorer, and XFM anda MEN on Mozilla, adn even before 9 the sites were busy. Then I'd get into one and get almost through and it would crash. Then I tried Ticketline - same thing, almost made it and then nothing - same with ticketmaster. I swear I was almost in tears! The, when I had just about given up, gigsandtours opened. I still feel sick and shakey. Believe me if I could have gottenmore I would have. I'm lucky I got the ones I did.

Thanks for that!

I've just got a seated pair in the upper tier after trying like mad for close standing ones for aaaaaaaages through gigsandtours. And i was on at 9am! I got to the card details page a few of times and it kept telling me to bugger off at the last second

I should have checked in here and tried ticketmaster...

Oh well, at least i have some now! I can't wait!!!!

Damn those f*ckers who've ebay'd the good ones already

It's gonna be the 9th time in total for me, 4th since the release of TSSK. I can't recall ever getting this excited for a gig at the MEN Arena, it will be an absolute blockbuster, I'm convinced of it.

Getting goosebumps thinking about Tower Crane Driver being played in there......

Don't start me off, I'll be wishing the summer away at this rate!

Think of it like it's the last time we'll see them live for a while (a year?) so it's something to savour and not to rush.

Really chuffed that the Howling Bells are supporting

Just counted up and realised that this takes me to 9 Elbow gigs in 11 months!! Plus an Audience with Guy! Feel I may be one step away from a restraining order!!!

It'll be my 7th in 12 months. If it were financially and logistically possible i'd see them at every gig they play!

I think this makes my 11th since TSSK...
