Managed to get front row from RFH box office this mornin...Yee Ha
Here's link I just found for see tickets pre sale, only rear circle seats left tho but still good view as they tiered, had a good word wi operator & they said no worries. Can't wait, seen em twice on acoustic mainlines & twice on A+E tour, still aint converted Acoustic in Leeds from DV to DVD, strugglin a bit!!
I got this seat via the website - I was originally allocated a worse seat and spent that long dithering about on the phone too that it was removed and reallocated.
What a bonus!!
It's nice to be liked,
But it's better by far to get paid.
Im 4 rows back on the balcony. Looks quite far back on that diagram, but hopefully it'll still be top night. All the front stalls had gone when I rang and the guy on the phone said balcony would be a better view than back of rear stalls.

I logged on at 10 on the dot and got tickets no worries (no password needed either)
Row GG13 & 14- i'll be joining the row G massive then. My seat is listed as Green on that website so I'm a happy bunny.
Believe it or not I chose rear stalls by choice. I wanna take the entire spectacle in from afar
In a pickle, lookin at that pic i got 6 tics for the gang all in pairs, couldn't get em together so 2 on fron row, 2 on row h front stalls & 2 on 3rd row balcony............obviously I get 1st pic cos I booked em, which do I choose!!!!!?
'I've had my fix, too much of it,
I'm losing track of time in 200 bars'
I've been on the phone and email trying to arrange babysitting and may have cracked it. For an evening is one thing but for an overnight stint with school runs to do is another. Fingers crossed.
Will this be the most amount of forum members in one at any one time? A gathering of the clans?
Hmmm... looking at those photos i better stay off the booze as i don't seem to have easy access to the loos! Just noticed that sentence rhymes....Pierce, keep your mitts off.
Bloody row RR in the rear stalls!!!! Curse the time difference. Was too tired from the Primal Scream gig at the Fillmore and couldn't get up at 3am to book tickets. Just got up and shouldn't complain really, at least I got some. Can't believe how quickly these are going though.
I got up at three in the morning, local time. The results: two tickets F/S row C. I'll be flying out from Vancouver, B.C. Never been outside of the Americas before, so this is pretty exciting. I had been longing to visit London, and this was the perfect excuse/catalyst.

Next point - nearest decent pub to the RFH?
I've already produced a fetching named t-shirt to be identified by...as for pubs; i'll be the one dancing with the pigeons reeking of tonic wine and skol lager...
I'm actually quite reserved in my excitement,

Runcible... You are bang on the money button there. It was a very shallow experience indeed, no it was far worse than that. I had to phone from work and was on hold for ages. Now personally i wouldn't have been too bothered for myself because i think there will be another show like there was at Union Chapel. But buying tickets for friends from San Diego and Estonia who want to travel all that way to the gig, then i did start to stress. Guys i don't even know our row and seat number but you have tickets in the balcony area.
Spazed99, is this show just LAGWAFIS or is there a first and second half to the night ? It would be nice if all those people who are travelling from around the world because of this show had the chance to pick a song for the first/second half of the show. Shonn, say Spread Your Wings.
Now i'm going to go and get battered to de-stress myself.
Quite happy to knock up a spreadsheet of who is sitting where...kinda like a little table plan for a special dinner...bit G.A.Y perhaps but it may be useful for...well whatever, the option is there...pm me your seat numbers if you can be arsed

Does that mean a certain Mr Rebanne will be there???

I agree with both of you. I was lucky enough to refresh 5 min before 10AM like purespace and got really lucky.

I was hoping to start a campaign for something like this. Not necessarily to get to request songs, but just get it to Spaceman's attention that there a lot of people spending a lot of money to travel from far and wide for this show, and could we please have two sets or another gig that weekend or something to add more Spiritualized value for the trip.

I'm guessing two halves, a 'greatest hits' package first, then LAG, culminating in a Christ-almighty version of Cop Shoot Cop featuring Bob Gillespie/Primal Scream and cohorts from Treader

The Porterhouse in Covent Garden and then catch the tube to Waterloo or Embankment or try the Spoons at the top of Whitehall and walk down to the south bank from there.

Bang on with them aadamm, These Blues, lay Back....(Good Dope..) & Sway.....in fact why not do a series where he plays all the albums over a series of dates. My aim....his setlist!! Got his from Leeds & Doggens from Sheffield last year & Signed Spectrum tocket by Sonic form back in Feb, so this would sit nicely in between them all!!
Where you comin from? I'm off down from York, about 300 miles but well worth it

No - I checked today. Row UU available. people are just cashing in on the quality seats. I'd rate See Tickets as being pretty crap I must say. After I bought mine in the rear stalls I went back and front stall seats, with what looked like a decent position, were suddenly available...
Been a long time since I posted, so long I can't even remember my user name.
I have to say the ticket thing has been a little disappointing. After spamming for some of the poorest rebalcony seats and finally bagging some, better ones are now available. Oh well.
I look on the bright side though, we're in and there's not many other better venues to have bad seats.
I'm going to stop looking at the RFH site, I certainly don't want to know if another date gets added.
i just bought a ticket off south bank for £27+ booking and donation
Balcony 6/N/G C1 whatever the hell that means! oh yay!

I cannot believe how this has been mishandled and how middle class, out of touch and elitist ticket purchasing has become with the average human being.
Firstly, the official ATP website and Spiritualized website state tickets go on sale at 10am today. THIS IS INCORRECT!
Tickets went on sale at 8am and this wasn't even advertised.
So basically people, including myself have missed out...and i'm not prepared to pay £40+ to sit in the shitty fake 'clouds'.
SECONDLY, why the heck if you are a member of the SOUTHBANK do you get priority days before? You can buy the best tickets in the house and sell them on. NO BRAINER. How rubbish is that?
I am glad I am not going, even if I've been a fan of Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized since way back! I have no doubt the representatives of the band will wash their hands of this.
that's so moving, MODLAB!
