Sundaygirl you have great faith so I'm taking a leaf out of your book Wink

(still teeny bit stressed though!)

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 18:20

Oh, my faith is shaking!!!! XFM keep advertising the show saying "hurry and buy tickets cos it'll sell out fast!" and I just want to scream "SHUT UP!!" I need the strength of the Elbow forum to keep me steady til Friday kick off!! Crying or Very sad

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 18:33

Oh I know what you mean, why couldn't Guys interview in the MEN have been on Friday after we'd got our tix? They dont need to keep advertising it, its going to sell out anyway! I cant decide whether to buy online or by phone so I think I'll have to do both-thats if I last till then! pale

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 18:37

there should be a secret way real fans can get tickets, God I REALLY despise touts, when I see them outside venues I almost snarl at them Mad

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 18:38

you'll be ok if its a bee but if its a wasp RUN!!!!

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 18:39

I don't k now what it is. It's buzzing!!!! It sounds big.

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 18:45

Dont know why but just got an image of a wasp with a mic and amp trying to intimidate you-dont let it win! Shocked

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 18:57

Ummmm, I'm thinking now that...umm, actually turns out it's just a big fly... Rolling Eyes

I'm alll on edge over the MEN tickets!!!

Hey, if we can't get them, we culd always stage a hunger strike outside Blueprint.

Wearing sombreros.

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 18:59

LOL, I love you Nellie, I can't wait to meet you!
"If it's a wasp RUN!!!!"
Meany. Laughing

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 19:05

I have a sneaking suspicion that they will want to try and sell out quickly in order to have another night at the MEN, probably the Saturday night.

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 19:06

You think???
Suspect

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 19:09

It's just the kind of thing that has happened before with many other bands, plus Elbow did a similar thing at the Apollo last year. But mostly I think it's a popular tactic.

I know I'll probably be going both nights if they do, if I'm coming all the way from Canada might as well make the most of it! Oh there will be relatives and friends to see as well though!

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 19:12

Why are you moving to Canada? (not that there's anything wrong with the place...)

New job, see here about 2/3 of the way down, there's a big Canadian flag, you can't miss it!

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 19:19

Cheers MT now I'm stressed about that too, I work on saturdays and dont finish till 5pm, how on earth am I going to get there early enough to get near the front? Now I'm even worrying about things that might not happen. Neutral

Honestly you dont want to mess around with wasps-dont believe all that rubbish "if you stand still they leave you alone" their nasty little buggers out for trouble. Twisted Evil

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 19:28

Congrats MT, that's great news for you!!! What's the job?

Nellie, I don't doubt you about wasps! They freak me out!! Ugh (shudders).

I think we'll be OK. We will jus thave to man the PCs, maybe have a couple of diferent ticket sites open just in case. It's a big place, surely it won't sell out that quickly!

Right?

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 19:33

Yeah thats a good idea, its going to be a busy morning on Friday. Smile

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 19:38

I'm buying 4 and I'm thinking it might be the limit, but if it isn't, do you think folks should buy extra tickte/s just in case? So no one has to resort to the touts?

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 19:41

Thought that myself, I need 3, but thought I might get 4 then I can at least pass 1 on. Got to help each other out.

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 19:48

Yeah, don't want a Halle/Evening with GG repeat. I SO wish I had bought extra tix for those! I wasn't thinking! It all happened so fast!!

If the limit is more than 4 I will deffo buy at least one more!! That way if somleone can't make it to a PC in time hey can buy it from me! At a %90 mark -up.

(just kidding!!)

Subject: Re: Elbow play MEN Wed 29 Apr 2009, 20:31

Just been looking at the MEN Arena page and notice they've got a booking link too. Obviously at the moment you can't click through to anywhere to see if it's them or another agency (apart from Gigs & Tours), but it might be another option worth bearing in mind if we're struggling to get tix on Friday.

I was also thinking the XFM website...that might not be as busy.
