What an awful interviewer.

I think the word 'tit' is most appropriate.

Wot?

rumor has it that these will actually be all-acoustic sets

this has to be bullshit, surely?

"Though Shields music transcends language, he was kind enough to use language when he spoke with us"

I didn't think I would be but I'm unfeasibly excited about this - trying for tickets for London and Glasgow.

A year and a half ago this news would have caused me to start screaming, quite literally -- zOMGGGGGGGG!!!!, etc. Now, though, as there is no possible way I can attend any of these shows... Wait. Maybe I can go to Coachella. Fucking hell. You see, I NEVER GOT TO SEE MBV! So YAAAAAAAAOOOOWWWW!

*cough* As you were.

This morning I found that the line "I worked for a while on a fishing boat right outside of Delacroix" can be sung along to Drive it all over me

Just got tickets for the Manchester show - would it be poor form to wear my Loveless T-shirt from the last time they toured? It's a bit old and faded, and has a big hole in it - but still...

Surprise surprise, Seetickets has fallen over. This is like buying Glastonbury tickets all over again.

AND london's sold out

bugger

It had sold out by the time I could get into the website. Ah well.

London show is sold out according to the website, just tried to get 2 tickets.. weirdly I just got an email confirmation addressed to a MR MRCARTNEY saying I had bought 4 tickets to the Manchester show though!

My friend tried to buy some and got this message for London:

9:02 Sorry, there has been a problem with your order

Reason - TICKETS HAVE NOW SOLD OUT (TS2) (R1)

x-post: JINX

Sorry, there has been a problem with your order

Reason - PLEASE CALL 0871 230 0010 TO CHECK ON AVAILABILITY (CTC5) (R1)

Jonbat - I got exactly the same message as you - Mr McCartney, 4 Manchester tickets... I fear we're out of luck...

Haha what a load of cack. I hope this Mr McCartney doesn't end up with thousands of tickets billed to him.

Tickets going on ebay for mad money.

Touts are fucking cunts aren't they?

Utter utter bollocks. I got through at 8.59 but the bloke sent me packing. Impossible to connect their website from then on.

...or their phone line

Manchester sold out.

eBay sellers... 'I am a power seller'. No you're not. You are vermin and you need to be beaten to death.

maybe they'll do a few nights in the style of the sonic youth daydream nation atp thing?

I just got a ticket for the barrowlands, took about 10 mins to get through. Just got my confirmation email, they better not start playing silly buggers and send me another saying it's sold out.

I suspect more dates will be announced. Plenty of time - eight days! - between the London and Mcr shows.

There is a rather convenient 1 week gap between London and Manchester I spy.

Yes, the Roundhouse apparently confirmed to someone on DiS over the phone that they were doing two other nights there.

However, I don't care about that because I managed to get tickets for the currently announced Roundhouse show before See fell over. And yes, my confirmation mail is in my own name.

yeah, in the early 21st century it doesn't take a week to get from london to manchester.

Haha.

Maybe they're just leaving a big gap between dates just so that they can extend You Made Me Realise for just a bit longer. That'll learn all y'all.

I think they played it for like six fucking days the last time round.

Maybe an ATP performance? They're being promoted by ATP concerts...

Ticketmaster.co.uk still has Manchester ones, if anyone's interested.

(at least, I got through to the "We're holding these tickets just for you. Please complete this page within 2:00 minutes. After 2:00 minutes, the tickets we're holding will be released for others to buy." page).

i just SEEM to have got tickets for london thru the roundhouse website, payment went through, haven't had confirmation email yet.

Just bought tickets for the Roundhouse.

So if you see some bloke outside the roundhouse with a ton of tickets and whistling "ebony and Ivory"....

Just been told on the roundhouse website that there are no tickets left

I decided I didn't actually want to go *that* much and should probably let a more deserving case have a ticket instead of me.

But it's probably gone to a tout.

Just bought two for Manchester from Ticketmaster. In the CIRCLE section apparently though.

Me too. Will be selling these if there are more London shows and I can get standing tickets.

[from atp website just now]

MORE LONDON SHOWS ADDED

The Friday June 20 show sold out lightning fast this morning, so we are pleased to announce that additional shows on Saturday June 21 and Sunday June 22 have now been added. Tickets will be available shortly at www.seetickets.com, www.wegottickets.com, www.gigantic.com and www.roundhouse.org.uk

This speed of this announcement stinks of carefully planned marketing but can you really blame those involved? And do I really want to go that much? I do kind of regret not going to see them at Whitley Bay Ice Rink in 1992.

"shortly"?

Maybe they're just leaving a big gap between dates just so that they can extend You Made Me Realise for just a bit longer. That'll learn all y'all.

hahaha.

Tickets for the Friday still keep appearing and disappearing on gigantic.com. A part of me is saying 'walk away, don't get involved'.

Phone seetickets. They're selling now!

For Saturday and Sunday, I mean.
