Cardiff and Wolves standing tickets booked.

I'm thinking of doing Brixton seated - anyone got experience of seated times there? Also the pre-sale has the seated down as unreserved - is that just a pre-sale thing and you just get allocated a seat or is it truly unreserved seating? I'm just wondering in these cases whether to wait for the venue's website for tickets as they may have better seats available?

Using that version of the band logo cannot be coincidence.

It's like they really do play up the whole "two versions of us" thing. That logo with the backwards R's means something when it's used.

Going to Cardiff.

OMG am so excited about this tour (having said that, I'm always excited about Manic's tours ). Have booked Cardiff, both Scottish gigs and London.

Hopefully after Christmas I can get a ticket for London and maybe another.

I've sat both times I've been to Brixton. It's truly unreserved, you can sit anywhere.

You lot that are doing the capital cities, isn't it cheaper to do a few gigs in the middle rather than travel the length of England and stay in a hotel in the capitals every night? Us northerners aren't that bad, really.

I'm doing London but then I live half an hour outside of London so it's cheaper to do London than anywhere up north

I'm wondering if - and hoping that - this might be a Past/Present/Future-style tour...

Best tour I've attended. I'd be tempted if it was anything like that, but I'm pretty sure I paid £25 for those tickets in comparison to £40 for these.

PPF was brilliant. Some of the setlists were sublime.

To be fair the tickets themselves are only £29 odd but the fees and VAT bump them up to £34 odd and then there's the booking charges and all that bollocks. Bit ridiculous really.

A bit of THB would go down just nicely.

That's not so bad. I guess it's the venues more than anything. Still, until they do something slightly different I've had my fill. I enjoy myself when I go but I've been far to many times now, I think. I need a break. I may feel different in March/April.

Am I right in saying here that the Leeds Arena is almost twice the size of any other venue they are playing on the tour?

Has anyone been there before? Is it a nice arena?
