Also the North east, Newcastle etc. I don't what the demand is like but I would have thought it is worth a gig.

They clearly don't want to do a long tour, though, I don't think it's about where the demand is.

So wish there was a Cardiff gig.

I keep fingers crossed they may add one :/

If I don't manage to get a ticket for this and some appear on eBay on Friday afternoon, I may attempt to track the sellers down so I can shout some few choice words at them, and then take the ticket. Reimbursing them at face value. Naturally.

I would argue they don't deserve reimbursing if they'd just bought them to sell them on

It's looking good for a seated on the first Manchester date!
I'm also hoping, that along side b-sides and THB, we get covers the band liked to do in 1994. "Bright Eyes" and "Pennyroyal Tea".

I'd argue they need beating to death, the fucking scum

Good point.

I can use the money for merch

MikeS · #**203** 24-09-2014, 07:19

I'm wondering if Manics tickets are so appealing to touts these days, all concerts don't sell out, may not be able to move tickets on.....

I woke up in a cold sweat at 5.30 last night after a dream where I was trying to balance a balance sheet and could only get out in time to get my tickets if I got it completed neatly. Ugh!

The radio keeps hyping it up! Would you shut up till after I've secured my tickets!

No welsh dates , couldnt het a venue .
Told today by a reliable source thats very close to the band !!!

Son of Stopped · #**207** 24-09-2014, 18:34

There's always the idea these shows will be so successful they'll tour it again in different venues in the New Year, though?

gaz40 · #**208** 24-09-2014, 18:38

Maybe they should have waited until the new year anyway , would have given more time to organise things , so many people cant go because of the short notice . And then theres the welsh thing !!! Still fuming !!��

Disappointed but not surprised

Cardiff, in particular, for a capital city is really lacking a 'medium-sized venue' as they say - there's the arena which is huge, and the next one down is probably the Great Hall in the union which is considerably smaller (and IMO not a good venue, possibly because I did my uni exams in there so not many great memories!). If there was something inbetween those, it would be a good option. St David's Hall isn't really built for a rock gig!

I suspect the reason the announcement didn't happen on Monday was because they were trying to get a few more dates and places on the bill.

Depending on how things go on Friday you may find they miraculously find themselves available.
