let's face it the venue is going to be the closest you'll get to the band while they're onstage. they'll be able to see you all face by face hehe

This pic gives you an indication of how close to the stage you are (I may or may not be the one on the front row with my camera held up ):

how often do we in scotland get something small and special like this eh! once in a blue moon, oh and guess what it looks like the people of scotland who have lives and families and cannot just drop everything at the drop of a hat to go to london or cardiff or whatever to see their favourite band will possibly not get a chance to go to this either cos all the people from down south who get their fair share of stuff are going to go to this too, some people are just plain greedy, proof of scottish residency to buy tickets i say

Yeah cos they never play glasgow normally!

not necessarily if you're in the front row what about gigs without barriers (and then you don't get photographers in the way either) like take Newcastle 2005 or the Heavenly thing or half the US tour or if you want to include solos Wire at Stay Beautiful or (sort of) Hay or James the night before he played King Tuts in Manchester and I think Newbridge and one other on the later tour.

Also surely they are only playing a gig cos its King Tuts 20th birthday and they love the venue (first hot meal etc.) and King Tuts is in Glasgow and so they have to play Glasgow - most one off gigs are where they are for a reason its not hardly like they are intentionally snubbing any part of the country

After seeing the pic, i may aswell plan ahead for this.

I can take a week off for my B'day too, (13th Feb)

yup and they didnt have to agree to play at all. I think some are forgetting this is for a specific event. It's not just an ordinary manics gig

Ok, got myself return travel from Manchester and a b&b sorted for £25

Fingers crossed I actually get a ticket now..

Yeah.

I don't think we Scottish can complain about the gigging patterns too much. I've been to every non-festival gig in this country since TIMTTMY and while the majority have been in Glasgow there have been a good few in Edinburgh and even one in Aberdeen! And James in Dundee

Oh I missed the Renfrew Ferry gig too but that was ridiculously hard to get tickets for!!!!

Meh. I made one comment about london and only keep replying to other people who seem to think glasgow deserve it.

well I meant for everyone - people at the back would still be dead close aswell.

is that wise - sorting the travel before you've got the ticket !!

[Dext37 Fielding]

I have just come off the phone to the dude at work who deals with accounts etc... if i can find a flight for over £75 from City Airport, i can use works card for it! Result!

Just to clarify when purchasing the tickets on Wednesday does it direct you to the Ticketaster website?
