The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

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.

Rad. Just got four four London on the Saturday. Anyone want to buy three seated tickets for Manchester? ; )

And they are on the website now as well. This is vaguely offensive marketing bullshit. ATP should know better.

Got mine too. Yes, slightly annoying, but I forgive them now that my needs have been met. Very clever...

People are still pay £200 for London tickets on eBay.

is it sold out again? it took my details but then said there was a problem with the order and i can't get thru on the phone

They should have booked Knebworth, really!

Try http://gigantic.com/gigantic/home_my_bloody_valentine.html

Only Glasgow left!

this is doing my head in

There are tickets for Sat and Sun on the website in London, but Friday is sold out. However, they are now selling tickets for the Friday on the phone again.

I suggest everyone relaxes.

However, I'm still umming and ahing as I'm broke and going on holiday tomorrow. Friend bought two for Friday on the phone 2 minutes ago, though, so I'm not lying.

(I have seen them three times anyway, y'know, and the last time wasn't actually that great)

Loads of tickets on ebay now starting at 99p for the Friday, although some still going for £200.

Hahahahaha

eBay ticket touts are scum.

touting should be illegal, srsly

I managed to get tix for the Sunday show, in the end, but not before an awful lot of hassle.

Thanks for Gigantic tip, caek. Got two for Glasgow there no bother. July seems an awful way off.

No problem. Thanks to myopic_void for the extra dates heads-up.

yes, I'd like to second the thanks for the tip-off about the extra dates - they weren't exactly announced were they? Maybe the notoriously stage-frighted Shields is half-hoping that no one turns up.

i picked a bad week to take a break from ILX: knew fuck all about this until very late last thursday night. still: managed to get tix for the second glasgow date, so GET THE FUCK IN!

they're selling monday tickets for the roundhouse now, just got mine

So, seeing as how Led Zeppelin have "Stairway" back in the singles chart due to downloads and the reunion gigs, what price "Soon" going in at 39 with a bullet?

oh man i'd LOVE that. the EP didn't even go top 75 last time.

29 My Bloody Valentine To Here Knows When Feb 1991

Yeah, the Tremelo EP charted, but annoyingly didn't get played on Top of the Pops. It would have been great to see whichever Smashy & Nicey were on duty that week having to grin while introducing a 'song' that sounded like someone whirling a hoover round and round their head. I think the Glider EP *was* top 75, but not top 40.

41, i think

Tommy Vance did the Sunday rundown on Radio 1 the week Tremolo charted; he said, "Amazing atmosphere on that record," as "To Here Knows When" faded out. Bless him.

glider was #40 on the singles charts in Number One magazine back in the day
