I think this needs improving... ;)
Dublin - general admission standing
Newcastle - block A row F
Birmingham - block B (I think) row F
London - block BB row F (errrgh... that definitely needs improving)
Manchester - block B row H
It was absolute madness... the poor people on the phones said that customers had been hurling abuse at them, LOL!

so far iv only got tickets for Manchester (block A row F - does anybody have any idea what these seats will be like? they're near the front but am a bit worried that im gonna be so far to the right that i wont see anything!). Im gonna have to get tickets to other shows later coz at the mo i could only afford the one. When i bought mine (from liverpool piccadilly box office) they only had tickets for the show on dec 4, isnt there one on the 3rd??
(oh my god iv actually got tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Row AA is the 25th row, after row Z. VERY well done on gettting that Row F ticket in AA!
I got two tickets in Row AA in Block AA, and two tickets in Row Y in Block AA.
The whole "double lettering" system is a cheap and dirty sales scheme IMO. Seeing "Row AA" is a lot more appealing than seeing "Row 25" isn't it....
Nevertheless, I am very happy because although I wanted "front row seats" (like everyone on this entire board!), realistically I thought that there's no way any of Block AA will be available to the general public. Relatively speaking (i.e. if you look at the immense size of Earls Court One), everyone with seats in Block AA and the first half of Block BB have done very well.
By the way, I never saw TM show tickets any closer than Row S Block AA (by which time I'd already got all my tickets!:mad: ). Given that each row consists of about 80 seats I'm curious as to what they plan on doing with about 500 premium seats....no doubt we'll see them pop up one by one on Ebay. At 9:05am there was a pair of front row (Section AA, row A) tickets on Ebay.:mad:

The whole AA, BB thing is quite sickening, I am annoyed I fell for it
Though the tickets my friedn got were in block DD so getting in AA at all is pretty good
It is gonna make me so mad and frustrated seeing the ebay circus kick in, the way people (who most likely dont even like fleetwood mac) can snap up the best tickets and make a huge profit is just vile!!
it seems alot like a scam to me, Hmm
Oh well, C'est la vie :)

Hmm... my Manchester ticket didn't go through in the end... so I upgraded one row instead. ;)
I knew I should have done Earls Court online though. :mad:

Block C Row G.
Laura.
I am level one Block 19 row M.
What a flippin' fuss to get the tickets! I started phoning at just before 9 o'clock.
"Sorry there is currently a high demand for this destination"!
Then I tried ticketmaster - sorted - but I had five minutes to complete my transaction. After TWO minutes I was told I was out of time! Then I couldn't get back in because too many people were using the site!
Eventually I got back in and by this time I was panicking and went for best available!
I think for the price ( 75 quid) I should get a private concert or least be on stage with them.
Oh Well! Happy Days!

A good day's work...
For Earl's Court I'm there in section AA with Seteca, which should be a very good position indeed considering the mental booking circumstances and the size of the venue...
AND
As for Manchester, I'm in section B row D so that's right in the middle of the first section on row 4!!! Woohoo!!!!

Somebody asked why I got two singles...
well, I obviously wanted the best seat and you have a better shot with a single, but not knowing how the seats are set up and not knowing if row AA was the front row or after Z, I had to take the shot.
I am selling the row AA for face value for anyone interested, I am sure it's still a good seat. I only needed one seat, so I'm keeping the row F.
Email me if you're intererested:
[email protected].
Also, does anyone know the seat number situation? where would seat #52 fall in block AA?
Thanks Guys!

Yea the seats run from 1 to 72, in the direction Lindsey to Stevie, so I would say #52 is somewhere in between the two of them, closer to Stevie.

does anybody know what Block A Row F seats will be like (in manchester)?? Im told im 7 rows from the front but am finding it very hard to believe, im also told that its towards the right of the stage.
to be honest i was quite surprised at how expensive the tickets are, i didnt think theyd be any more than £50 at the most, but what the hell, iv blown £67 on a night out so i think this is money well spent!!;) ;)

Hey, goldustboi,
You have a REALLY good seat. The sections at the front at the M.E.N. Arena go (from your right to left) A - B - C. So you are on row 6 on Lindsey's side with a great clear view of the stage. A very nice position and about the best available without being corporate or press.
One tip if you've never been there, try not to look up into the stands if you get vertigo, it's amazingly steep!!! I've never seen or heard of an arena this steep. The good thing is the sound levels are usually very good here.
So, it should be cool. Isn't it the final gig on this leg as well? Should be a great night..

I go out for dinner, come back, and all hell's broken loose...!!:laugh:
When my cellphone rang in the restaurant with an "International Call" on the caller ID, the last thing I expected to hear when I answered it was was "WE GOT ROW 6 TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It was one of those really quiet, formal restaurants with the piano playing in the background so I couldn't exactly shout "YEAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Christy, you must have thought I was on valium there for a second before I explained where I was....lol!!
I'm really glad that most people got very good tickets indeed for the Sunday show, and generally did much better than for the Saturday show.
Pip, we'll be right behind you! And definitely within ear-shot! And even if you're wearing the world's best earplugs, you WILL hear Christy's scream when LB walks on stage.....trust me!!! lol!!!:laugh:

i was thinking the exact same thing :D
if she attends the concerts (and wouldn't it be very impolite if she doesn't?) she will be sitting right there on section AA where the entire ledge squad's gonna be!
if she doesn't go on stage on her own free will, we will just have to 'convince' her :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I've never been to Earls Court but I imagine they must have some kind of VIP section somewhere. Surely they don't sit with us mere mortals ;)
