Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
Any info on how to access the pre-booking thingy? The Barbican site doesn't seem to know anything about this...

Hmmm..... Maybe it's all an April Fool's joke.

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
you're a star - thank you so much for that, just weighing up my overdraft for the Manchester leg now!
Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
Any chance of other dates in December 09 ? Anyone know. I'd love to see them at Newcastle City Hall, best venue in the North-East and they've never done it.

I'm not going to the Barbiacan gig, but that's definately got to one of the best ticket booking systems I've seen. I just hope the Apollo one is as good (but I doubt it).
It's nice to be liked,
But it's better by far to get paid.

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
cheers for the link Purespace! I thought it was going to be another crazy RFH scramble but that was so easy!
Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
Very bizarre - the (not so) secret pre-pre sale at the Barbican scoops See Tickets, saving us plenty in booking fees!!
Got four seats dead centre in Row M so nicely in the rake with a perfect view. Bear in mind that the front block in the stalls centre is not raked, so you're always taking a chance on some tall punter blocking your view...

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
Got stalls R 18 at the Apollo. The ticket website is a pile of crap (again) and unfortuantelly you can't order these over the phone. I know 'cos I just tried.

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
That's certainly what the ticket website and my confirmation email say. Whether or not it will actually be standing I don't know. I've only ever been to the Apollo twice before (and that was a long time ago) and both times it was standing only in the 'stalls' area.

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
I saw Beck there about 5 years ago and they had seats then, although the bar shut during his seat. Still, you win some and lose some, eah?!

Tried the same things...
I'll be sat close to you, R 23. Can't choose seats and row R seems to be the only thing on offer.

I wish I'd known that. Gone for 2 seats in row d. Hope know one blocks my view (or I block anyones view)Got four seats dead centre in Row M so nicely in the rake with a perfect view.

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
Ha ha - well what do you know Simon? I'm in the seats next to you - R 16, 17. If the bar stays open we can have relay trips.

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
Look like I have been far luckier with the Barbican than I was for the RFH – B16 without really trying.

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
I'm on the f*****g wagon! I find myself the illest (physically speaking) and healthiest (chemically speaking) I've ever been- and all at the same time. My life is full of little ironies at the moment... But who knows, by December I might be able to handle a drink or two!runcible wrote: Ha ha - well what do you know Simon?

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
I'm assuming these gigs are the same format as the RFH ones? With the choir, strings and horns?
So excited!

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
I think they will be. In my opinion, the Barbican sounds even better than the RFH.I'm assuming these gigs are the same format as the RFH ones? With the choir, strings and horns?
What is it with Row R at the Apollo !!
What more can the heart of a man desire?

Live Nation are promoting it through ticketmaster so there'll be better seats on general sale in the morning!!
Well pissed me, fell for the 'Rare chance' thing @ RFH booked 2 front row for 12th + hotel & 2 front row balcony for 13th + hotel so could film.
Was right lookin foward to it & planned couple of days in London with wife & kids.........now it's all been washed away...I can just hop on a train from York to Manchester.......'Just want water, justa want an ocean, an endless river to wash away all my tears' springs to mind!!
Dunno, anyone else feel a bit deflated?

Hey, this is unreal news. Since hearing LAGWAFIS for the first time 6 or 7 months ago, it's been at the top of my favorite albums list since the start. London's a bit too far for me, but Manchester is spot on!
Is there a way to buy tickets for manchester now like the Barbican gig? Cheers

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
Cheers for the link, although it was highly annoying! I was in the process of ordering, they offered me some seats but they were right at the side, so I thought I'd try again, they offered me more seats at the other side, so I thought I'd try once more, and then they seemed to stop selling them! Argh! Nevermind, they say they're on sale at 9 on there instead of 10.

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
wow amazing news
who would have wanted a quick hours drive to manchester followed by a cheeky curry in Rusholme and still be tucked up in bed by 1.00pm - when they could pay £75 train fare, £150 hotel bill, close their business for the day and pay £4 for a pint of bitter..... not me thats for sure - best news I have heard all week.

I know it's not far, but I can't get off work during school term-time
Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
Monday night is a hard one as far as getting time off too. Sorry.
Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
I live in Manchester so I should be at that one. I'm a bit disappointed though, I had to scrape together funds for the London date only to have one added a lot closer for cheaper. However, the main thing here is that the Apollo is a terrible venue with awful sound on occasions and I would rather go to Royal Festival Hall anyway. It should've been at the Bridgewater Hall or the Lowry! Neil Young was good at the Apollo though, spot on.

Re: Manchester Apollo & London Barbican
The sound at the Apollo isn't bad........... well, as long as you get a seat in the stalls that ISN'T under the bloody balcony! The seats right at the back are blessed with worse acoustic qualities than my underpants.
I guess you early buyers will be safe!
