Cool Blackwood gig - what are the chances?

If I believe hard enough...will I get a ticket?

It's like being Charlie Bucket in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!

It would, without doubt, be the highlight of my gigging life (going back 32 years!!).

Please pick me...please pick me...please pick me!

Everyone join in (but say 'please pick him'!) LOL

I would love to go and have entered both on the BBC and the Manics website. I think I've used up all my luck when I won tickets to the NIA three years ago. But still my fingers are crossed

What are they?

I have entered, I suppose everybody has a equal chance....apart from those who seem to be able to get tickets anyway.

It`s twenty years ago today since my first Manics gig ( Manchester International 1990 ) so if I was lucky enough to get a ticket it would just mean so much to me, it would just round everything off perfectly because the " Postcards " tour has been of the best I`ve been on without a doubt. Good luck to everyone.

I'm sure we're all very relieved to hear that.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. You should've gone with your back up plans, at least it gives someone else a chance.....it just makes more sense.

Well said because NO ONE should have an advantage over anyone else when it comes to winning tickets for a gig like this one, NO ONE AT ALL.

I've never won anything related to the Manics, although I did get to go to a JDB radio gig in 2006 with someone (I didn't win the tickets though) and passed up the chance to go to the Homecoming gig in 2002 as I couldn't get time off work - really pissed off at that now.

But good luck to everyone with this!

Fifthed (or however many people have said this already), hope whoever gets to go enjoys it.
