finally gave into Ebay

Well, I have two tickets for the 21st now, which by all rates on ebay were not bad at £200 in Blk 107, I had to give into temptation, and could not take the risk of having nothing for either show that nite. Apart from that, all this sitting at the PC and not getting a thing done was beginning to get me down, was at the stage were I was afraid to wash my teeth lol

I have however, some good news regarding mainshow on the 21st, my brother phoned TM today and after a lenghty wait and argument, he was finally told that tickets for the 21st will be released within the next two days, added to this, was that about 20% of the floor seats are still available, but will be released sparodically to stop touting.

I hope this is the truth what they have told us, and if so, we will all have tickets at least for the mainshow. There was no mention of the aftershow, as my brother had no time to start that argument lol

Anyway, I hope we are all there, and better still that we are all at the aftershow friday night.

Peace N B WILD

This is very good news for those orgers who have not been lucky enough to secure their tickets yet. I already have my ticket for the 21st (still after a ticket for the aftershow though!), but if I see any tickets on TM for the 21st, I will try and get a couple and pass them on to other orgers who need them (at cost price, obviously!).

If other orgers are willing to do this, I imagine that it will be a great help to other people.

I was going to say - have you had a better offer? smile

Great news!!! Woo hoo...yeah *punches air* *drop kicks dog*
Another reason for optimism smile

I'll do my best to be on TM from 9.30 tomorrow to see if we can't do better than block 116 for us Claire ...tho I appreciate we are in a better position that some in that we have tickets at all (folks don't flame me please - feeling delicate today...)

I'll try and get some spares too...always find it hard to decide whether to put just two in the drop down or go for the whole 6??? What do you think? If I put 6 and then the seats are spaced out in pairs, I'll get didddley squat...decisions decisions!!!

Need 2 for the aftershow, work for Northern Rock so have got no chance of getting time to try and get on the tinternet!!! I'll keep trying all night and get 6 if possible, hopefully someone will return the favour if I fail in my quest.

Floor seats do seem to be the ones that get held back (along with 102 and 111 which is odd given i think 103 and 110 are better).

Anyway.. i will keep my eye out all day tomorrow on TM as well and get as many as i can for other orgers. Ill be in a dilemma though if A2 row A or B come along as these are my absolute favourite seats and i have my 7 year old with me and not sure floor at the front is suitable for him (prolly a pipe dream and i dont have to worry though hehehe)

Keep your eyes peeled orgers.... we need to spread the 21st ticket love around.

Top Top seats... Ok you paid £420 for the two instead of £75 but they will rank amongst the best seats at the best show you ever get to see. Worth every penny in my book.
