^ The roundhouse would let you select a seat into your basket and then it would be sold when you tried to check out. That was a fun game.

I dunno, given your average manics fan and your average tout (usually large bald men, it seems), not sure how that would end.

Whoever you are, I'd have been absolutely screwed for tickets if it wasn't for reading this tip - everything on ticketmaster, see and gigs and tours was gone instantly at 9am - so I couldn't not come on here and thank you. Massive thanks and best wishes to you!

No extra shows due to "Phenomenal Public Demand" or whatever the party line is?

Whole thing sounds like a complete farce tbh but that's the problem when there's only 12000 tickets available for a one-off tour even if we didn't think the demand would be so huge so quickly.

Doesn't look like it'll happen but wouldn't be a bad time to announce those extra dates gents, there's still Manics sized gaps at 'medium sized' venues.

I guess the issue of extra dates is that the band might feel they're already over-exposing themselves with the shows they're doing. It's strange to be doing these shows 20 years to the month they last played with Richie... I am not sure whether they are right to do so, but I expect that might be why they want to keep the tour and the shows relatively small.

Glitter in the eyes, knee them in the groin.

On another point: I hope they do the shows as a 3-piece. It would seem very wrong to have another guitarist on the stage.

Pretty sure its all standing in Barrowlands. Its probably just an oversight on the website.

That's happened to me at a number of venues but it's been standing I wouldn't worry too much.
