So, London NedFAP in June 2008 then?
― Matt DC, Thursday, 15 November 2007 15:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Astounding!
I'm pretty much willing to bet April show at Coachella at this point. In which case, I finally go to Coachella and y'all can fly out here instead. As it stands otherwise the lovely weak American dollar and all is giving me pause.

there will definitely be US dates (including SF) but Colm is living in LA at the moment.

I still see Colm Berkeley once a month. Glad to hear they will be playing out here though. This will actually warrant getting a babysitter, for once

I didn't think I would be but I'm unfeasibly excited about this - trying for tickets for London and Glasgow.
― Porkpie, Thursday, 15 November 2007 22:28 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

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.

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!
― jonbat, Friday, 16 November 2007 09:11 (sixteen years ago) link
My friend tried to buy some and got this message for London:
9:02 Sorry, there has been a problem with your order

Jonbat - I got exactly the same message as you - Mr McCartney, 4 Manchester tickets... I fear we're out of luck...
― Kaliova, Friday, 16 November 2007 09:17 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Friday, 16 November 2007 09:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Utter utter bollocks. I got through at 8.59 but the bloke sent me packing. Impossible to connect their website from then on.
― Daniel Giraffe, Friday, 16 November 2007 09:23 (sixteen years ago) link
...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.
― Kaliova, Friday, 16 November 2007 09:25 (sixteen years ago) link
maybe they'll do a few nights in the style of the sonic youth daydream nation atp thing?
― cw, Friday, 16 November 2007 09:27 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― leigh, Friday, 16 November 2007 09:29 (sixteen years ago) link
I suspect more dates will be announced. Plenty of time - eight days! - between the London and Mcr shows.
― Daniel Giraffe, Friday, 16 November 2007 09:29 (sixteen years ago) link
There is a rather convenient 1 week gap between London and Manchester I spy.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 16 November 2007 09:29 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
