IF I can get a ticket and IF there are people standing next to me at the gig talking away as if they're in a bar, I will not be responsible for my actions! :lol:
The sound when the played Manchester Velodrome a couple of years back was astounding - so loud and so clear - so let's hope for a similar experience at the Tate.

It’s tempting although I think I would have to pick just one evening. Probably Radioactivity.

I saw Kraftwerk at Brixton Academy on The Mix tour and they are definitely worth seeing. Loads of Spacemen 3 t-shirts being worn that night!

I'm definitely going to try for Trans-Europe Express but I won't be buying tickets for friends - it's every fan for themselves!!! I'd like Autobahn and Radioactivity as well but there is no way I can afford them. If money wasn't a problem I'd go every night.

Tickets are pick up on the door on the night jobs, named credit card holder only, apparently. At least it's an attempt to stop touting. And no presale for 'friends of the Tate' either so, fingers crossed....

Well I ain't going to any of them now. I checked my bank balance and the money ain't there. My initial feeling was total euphoria that this was happening but the more I think about it I realise I cannot justify the expense. :(

Got tickets for TEE and Man Machine in Dusseldorf the month before, gonna try for Techno Pop at these. Will be impossible to get tickets though judging from the other 2 catalogue instalments. Fuck knows how I managed it for DUS!

Absolute waste of time. Given up trying, something I didn't even do during the worst years of Glasto ticketing...

Even the mighty See Tickets seem competent in comparison. Might try again next Monday, lines might have cleared by then ha ha ha

What a joke.

No luck here, been trying since 7.15, phone and website.

Quite a few sold out according to Twitter although not Radioactivity which I wanted, right now I'll take a ticket for any night.

You are right Greeny, Glastonbury was a fuck sight easier. That only took 4 hours.

Report them. Apparently they have been ending the auctions.

Managed to get Autobahn tickets on the phone at lunchtime. Sympathy to those who didn't manage.

I've reported 4 listings.

One was this one...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/X2-KRAFTWERK- ... 43b6d26838

...lets see what happens.

I know in the past people have set up new ebay accounts and made quite large bids for the tickets very near the end of the auction

Good work. Only way to shut touts down - 'professional' and amateur alike - is by reporting them and, more importantly, never ever buying from them.
No joy on the ticket front for me, I'm afraid. Just lost heart after trying to ring up about 50 times. It'll be full of dickheads anyway . . . :lol:
