That's good, they must be trying to keep them the same level then, a lot of prices do go up what with the recission and all that jazz

If we have learnt anything from the last 3 or 4 Manics tours it's that it won't sell out that quickly if at all. Touts who do bother buying tickets will generally sell them for less than face value on e bay in the end despite putting them up before the gigs have even sold out for double face value ect.

Is there a Seetickets Pre-sale?

[Takk]

Yeah it's the tiny url link I posted.

eeep, any idea how this works if you're overseas (assuming you can order from these guys if you're overseas?!). Do I need to find a friendly person with a UK address I can 'borrow'?

[adore failure]

How many tickets can you buy at once with the pre-sale? Would I get away with 4?

(I have no idea what rules if any there are with sort of thing!)

Yeah, and me to get you a Brizzol one on Friday. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Sorry if it looked like I was singling you out though, read a few comments on the other threads and had a few people tell me it's steep and they're better off than me so I do wonder sometimes.

Stop buying pies.

I think they've done well to keep tickets around the £25 mark for the last 8 or so years. I for one would be willing to pay more.

That said, I'm probably not gonna buy any from the box office and by the time I can afford them the eBay rush ought to have slowed down and I might be able to get them less than face value anyway, have done a couple of times before.

I'm, gonna but as many as possible. I agree with you ...bloke. Tix are cheaper than Radiohead, Muse, Foos, Gorillaz, Blur, etc. I'm not just saying that cause I'm, on a Manics forum, but I'm a bit biased...

What? Oh no... I don't trust out mail service

I just had a look at Brixton Academy... is it a seated only venue? I can't imagine seeing the Manics sitting down!

No, it's mainly standing. The seats aren't bad though. From what I remember of it, running to the barrier won't be easy for anyone doing it.

I hope no one buys tickets so I can buy them really cheaply.

Why not?!
Are you guys like the 30 seconds to mars fans?! I mean, I saw those girls queueing the *night before* in winter time!
I'm not cut for that!

Lincoln has people called 'Dan' in it. I would avoid it like the plague, even if they fo IHOE (acoustic). This is based on personal experience of people called Dan from Lincoln, those called Dan from Lincoln I offer my sincerest apologise.
