Yeah Ocean Spray was really moving on the last tour, especially with the sax solo. The Southend gig was astounding, the band even thought so themselves!

Part of my job is Instructional Designer. Someone has to set up the online courses and that person is me. And do the registrations and it's also our program's application deadline on Dec. 15th, so there is a lot of stuff to do at that time of year. We do get the Christmas week off, though.

Is it just me or are the only seated tickets availble showing up to be the blocks at the back of the hall on all of the various ticket vending sites? Surely all of the other blocks couldn't have been bought up in a matter on minutes? Or are they going to stagger the release of the tickets for the other blocks over a few weeks? (which would be crap for those who are snapping them up on release days)

I hope
I've heard that sometime you need to reload the page or close and enter again to retrieve some tickets still available!

as for sending via mail the tickets, last time I bought them from See tickets /gigs and tours they emailed me some days later saying that they would not send them to Italy! so I had to collect them at the venue.

does anyone know if there are long queues at the o2 arena box office on such big events?

Just bought the tickets. Seated. Sad, but it was the only thing to do.
Anyway, Ticketmaster should send tickets in Italy, or at least it says so. Otherwise, I think we'll have to queue.

I was hoping you would manage to get standing tickets. Hope you got good seats?

this could sell out completely seeing as its a greatest hits gig and the media headlines hinting they might split up. It's 2002 all over again

Bought a seated ticket, because the standing ones were all sold out by the time I got home from work. To be honest, I'm utterly fine with this. I'm also happy to be seeing a non-Wales Manics gig, believe it or not. The sheer volumes of pissed up welsh people and blatant Welsh nationalism detracted from the Cardiff gig this year for me.

Looking forward to hearing some tracks I've not heard live in person too. And it's a travesty "Found That Soul" never sticks around on the setlist. That's pretty much the Manics' best set-opener I've heard (Sounded AWESOME on the PPF tour!)

They've said it'll be all the singles but not in order, but what if they did it in reverse, ending with Motown Junk?

It'd actually be all kinds of awesome if they did that.

Seeing as I've heard most of the forthcoming set-list live, I am looking forward to hearing LSE, Revol, SIS. I think those are the only tracks I've not heard live.

personal highlights for me will be she is suffering, from despair, LSE, revol, TBTGOF, empty souls, mainly because i'll probably never hear them live again also so why so sad and found that soul, HURROO!
