I would've thought about it, but to quote ticketmaster...

He probably bought them off someone for about £5 / £10, so he could stick just a fiver on to the face value.

Scabs.

But he made my night! I got to see the Manics!

I phoned ticket scotland who informed me they aren't selling them down there. Has to be over the phone or on the internet.

You're wrong because you ignored the British Isles (no, you didn't mention them, you mentioned "the islands that make up England, Scotland and Wales") 'Britain' includes the islands, the ones that aren't any of those three nationalities. The UN page you've linked to actually proves me right, not you, cos it's on about the British Isles.

PS 'the UK' doesn't include the islands, though, so your definition was right for that; it's just those countries. Plus NI, obviously, but that's an even bigger can of worms...

Good luck to anyone ticket-hunting.

They could write it on a pink background? Can't see it being any more radical than that tbh.

I'm not expecting to get tickets for this therefore I won't be too disappointed if I don't.

It's all about positive thinking eh

The British Isles include England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Geurnsey. I never said British Isles because that includes ROI and that actually is a real official country, unlike Scotland. Look at this diagram:

Encyclopedia Britannica says this: "The British Isles are a group of islands off the northwest coast of continental Europe that include Great Britain, Ireland and over six-thousand smaller islands"

Read here http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/home/scotland/britain.html
Even a primary school describes Great Britain as I did:
http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch...in/britain.htm
http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch...itishisles.htm

Great Britain is the largest of the British Isles. Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales.

Thanks although I don't begrudge anyone outside Scotland getting one.

Well I say that now....
