There are weeks to go, there is no reason to be nervous.

Got my Glasgow ticket (Ticketmaster) weeks ago, if they can do it so far in advance I don't see why G&T can't send the tickets out at least 4 weeks in advance ffs. Some people are traveling from quite a distance and well in advance!
I don't know why they're not done sooner either. They'll probably say how it's their way of combating touts but fuck that, how about putting your name on the tickets instead? That seems to have dried up, used to be normal, not that it was ever used as a way of weeding out the touts as it could and should've been. Still, I expected that when tickets arrived with your name in more often before, it was SeeTickets or whoever that was printing the tickets as they're ordered but keep hearing now that they're waiting for tickets to arrive and I think it just seems an unnecessary hassle to have third parties doing the printing

Eh I bought a pair off someone on here so they've got to get to him first before they get to me. Do you have that much faith in Royal Mail in the festive season?

I remember when tickets were only sent out 5 working days before the concert. Was terrible living in halls at uni at the time as they would not sent them there. So I had to get them sent to my parents and then forwarded to me!

Just this second, I got a "Confirmation of Despatch" email from See Tickets. Anyone else who ordered from See Tickets, check your emails.

I got a ticket download instead of ticket post out. I live in fear of computer hacking :-)

Oh I can't be doing with e-tickets, got a big shoe box full of stubs and wristbands and whatnot. I hope they don't die out.

My tickets go on the kitchen wall, along with postcards, small a3 posters from plays I've been to and other memorabilia. It's known to dear ones as "The Wall of All Things Good" and is a favourite spot for coffees and conversation. May not be so popular with my landlord, but it's all blu-tack, so easy to remove if I ever decide to move. (and yes, I even have some neat print-outs of e-tickets on there - I am a sad, sad case).

I like that idea but gonna be moving soon so it'd be an awful shame to make a nice collage now and then have to pull it down again.

Might get some big frames for posters too, I know it's Autumnsong lyrics but still it's signed, could be alright in a frame.
