You know what would excite me even more? A bit of the gig with a proper string section! That would be awesome for the more lush type songs with strings. Maybe they'll mess around and do some songs as a 3 some as a 5 some with more. Ooh the possibilities!

That's quite a bit, and I was thinking I had to spend a lot when I'm looking at about £500!

Why on earth are standing tickets £10 more? I guess I'll ask my brother to go with me and get him to order tickets for us as Xmas presents to each other.

The cheapest fare I've found is $1306 from where I live. I'll still see if any seate sales come up in the next few weeks. Toronto isn't much better at $1100 round-trip.
