Nope, can't be that as I got one and have moved house 5 times since I would've signed up for the mailing list but still had a postcard. I think they must have the addresses from things like the JFPL pre-order or perhaps last years' tour.

Wow, Big Brother style... the Manics are watching you!

@StandAndStare: please PM me your email address!

[Oh Nick...!]

Just got the NME - what is with James' new facial expression? Happy with their clothes though, skinny jeans coming back in is the best thing that could have happened to Nick, but that parting's a bit severe for me.

yay I got 3 of the postcards Nice touch though I have to say.

Just been listening to SATT for the first time in ages, and thinking that I would be really disappointed if that album was coming out now, after JFPL! At the time, it was such a relief that the Manics were rocking again after Lifeblood that it seemed like a pretty decent album.

But then they raised the bar!

I think gospel choir sounds like a good idea though, it makes me think Another Invented Disease!

Yes I would say maybe Townsend records have sent them out.

I've received some, I thought that maybe they were sent out by ticket vendors via sony or something?

I've never signed up with my address on the official site or brought anything from Townsend ; )

[Loz]

I think you're right Simon.
The postmark shows it's from Nottingham which is where see tickets are based so it's possible that it is them.

[franny]

I got a postcard too, I'd never felt so loved!

[Napoleon Bonaparte]

Isn't it a slight waste of time for seetickets to send out a postcard to advertise an event(s) that I've just bought tickets for? I'm not saying it wasn't them, just a little less than productive.

It must be ticket vendors then.

I think it's if you've brought tickets from them for MSP in the past they have sent them out regardless of if you have purchased any for this tour or not

[tzb]

Presumably they were sent 2nd class and as we weren't meant to be able to buy them until tomorrow it's not that daft.

[franny]

My mum thought it was actually hand written by Nicky.

Tip for the paranoid: Something I always do when filling in my name when signing up for anything is to add a little something to my name so I know where any marketing stuff sources from. Just an underscore and then the company appended to my surname does the trick, Red_Seetickets, for example. It just means that whenever I get marketing, I know who it's from. Or, when I'm asked for a phone number, I put "Redseet" down, so it looks inconsipuous to the caller, but totally obvious to me where the dirty bastards calling to offer me a free holiday got my details from.
