Four dates so far, possibly another closer to the time. Fucking ecstatic, my phone hasn't stopped all morning.

Even one friend who isn't on here had a spare, so that's going to a Manics fan currently in Malaysia.

The best thing they could do to stop the touts is insist on ID at the venue - worked very effectively at the Kate Bush shows.

They didn't even ID us at Kate Bush, after all that!

Now my heart has stopped palpitating and my Facebook has calmed down, I can confirm that there are loads on tout sites already. Fucking cunting cunts.

Actually, me neither as we had printed tickets due to the original lot getting lost in the post - but staff were checking the ID of everyone else and I saw very little business for the touts when I went.

Happy for everyone who got tickets, sad if people have missed out because of touts. They really should do more to make it impossible for the touts, especially for gigs as rare as these will be.

I won't be able to go, wish I could, and I don't suppose it will be recorded... would happily buy an official Blu-ray of the gigs, even shot in a basic 2-cam manner... but if they wouldn't do it for NT I doubt they will for this. Ah well.

After a very stressful morning, sat on computer before 9am, tried Barrowland bang on 9am but site said unavailable!!! Kept trying and eventually got the last two nights at Roundhouse. It was a frenzy this morning, haven't experienced it like this before with Manic tickets. Got a head headache now, need a lay down. Look forward to seeing you all at the Roundhouse.

I bought Glasgow tickets for me and friend on Ticketmaster but I also managed to get 1 on roundhouse website in case I can't make Glasgow (should be ok tbh but it was a just in case) and I thought I should have no problem shifting a ticket, face value of course (and I think friend might buy it). Now I am worried I might not be able to sell in case they check ID!

You'll be okay - they didn't announce that you need ID to enter so they can't put a new restriction in place now. Hopefully there will be enough people with spares to help those who didn't get tickets on this forum.

Either way this event is costing me a lot. My Glasgow ticket requires a mini break and buying flights. London ticket requires me trying to change to an earlier flight back from Prague (get into Bristol at like 7pm on the 17th!). Oh well! Maybe I end up doing both!

Forgot to say in the stress whirlwind, my Ticketmaster captcha was 'be serious now'. NICE TO SEE THEY HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR.

I managed to get a ticket through Ticketmaster. I selected 'best available', but when my order was confirmed they gave me a seat number. Does that mean I won't be able to go in the standing section?

Quite possibly, yes. If you actually bought a seated ticket. Sometimes they give seat numbers to standing tickets due to limitations in the system, so it depends what you actually purchased really. A seat is considered 'better' than standing in Ticketmaster terms.

Monday - 1 standing ticket via Ticketmaster
Tuesday - 1 standing ticket via Seetickets and 1 seating ticket via Roundhouse
Wednesday - 1 seating ticket via Roundhouse

I have a spare for the Tuesday, but still have to decide if I want to stand or sit...

I'm absolutely over the moon I got my entrance sorted for all 3 gigs though!
