UK Ticket Sale Info

[Phil Lee]

From Ticketmaster (http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/Fleetwood-Mac-tickets/artist/735087):

O2 pre-sale starts at 9am on 6th February
Live Nation pre-sale starts at 9am on 7th February
General sale starts at 9am on 8th February

There are no details of how the pre-sale works. I'm have a Manchester Arena Priority Pass so should get the pre-sale info for that.

I have heard nothing from O2 about my supposed 'priority access' to London tickets. Does anyone know how this works?!

**update** AH! I have now received a text from O2 about it, though still I have no idea which area of the venue is reserved for priority tickets...

[poetinmyheart]

I have never had much luck with O2 priority. When I've used it in the past, it has only had a very limited area available to choose from. I'll give it a go though.

[blackdove]

I'm gutted at how expensive the tickets are, £137.50 per ticket is a lot to ask in my opinion :-(

[poetinmyheart]

Yes. Was planning to go a couple of times if possible. Have amended that plan!

[MacMan]

I'm gutted at how expensive the tickets are, £137.50 per ticket is a lot to ask in my opinion :-(

Tickets are priced at £50.00 / £65.00 / £80.00 / £125.00 for London, Birmingham and Manchester and £45.00 / £60.00 / £75.00 / £125.00 for Glasgow.

[Dragonfly]

Tickets are priced at £50.00 / £65.00 / £80.00 / £125.00 for London, Birmingham and Manchester and £45.00 / £60.00 / £75.00 / £125.00 for Glasgow.

That's a lot of money. Although not as bad as £137.50 - no way would I pay that.

I'm not bothering with the 02 sale as heard it's pot luck with seating, but will try the Live Nation one.

At those prices though if I don't get decent seats I'll probably not bother going.

[Phil Lee]

How do you get on the Live Nation pre-sale? Is it just a case of going to that site?

[poetinmyheart]

How do you get on the Live Nation pre-sale? Is it just a case of going to that site?

Yes, you just register.

[Madness Fades]

Right getting serious now. Ticketmaster presale begins tomorrow morning 9.00am.
Does anybody know the presale passwords that were gonna need.
So far I have heard its rumours, harmony, and dreams.
Does anyone know what it is for sure?

[Phil Lee]

I got my email from the Manchester Arena for their pre sale which starts on Thursday. It would be good if someone could post details of the pre sale tomorrow.

[poetinmyheart]

There's a presale tomorrow on ticketmaster??? I thought the presale tomorrow was O2 Priority? I was going to give that a miss and wait for live nation or general sale. I have never had success with O2 priority. Buying concert tickets is stressful!

EDIT: Just been on ticketmaster and it appears the London show presale is a day later than the other dates.

[shackin'up]

Tickets are priced at £50.00 / £65.00 / £80.00 / £125.00 for London, Birmingham and Manchester and £45.00 / £60.00 / £75.00 / £125.00 for Glasgow.

Ridiculous. Amsterdam, in the brand new Ziggodome , the prices are between 55 and 60 pounds.

[Madness Fades]

Just another day in "rip off" Britain. And guess what everything is dearer again in Northern Ireland again.

Probably won't be a password? Just have to be registered on the TM and LN sites?

[Phil Lee]

The O2 presale starts in a minute. Makes me wish I was a customer right now.

[nevedix20]

in the process of trying to get the o2 code now... if anyone gets there before me pls let me known what it is... thanks you

[Phil Lee]

I couldn't help myself and went for the once in a lifetime experience of a Mick Fleetwood VIP ticket. I got front row on Stevie's side, my usual haunt.

[Madness Fades]

Dublin presale has completely shafted me beyond all belief.
signed in at 9am and it wouldnt accept my code then it sait there were no matches available for about 20 mins.
i give up with ticketbastard they are useless

[nevedix20]

but whats the presale password though help a lovely irish girl out??!! thanks

[golddustboy71]

London 02 pre sale is crap!!!...its not working...been on since dead on 9 and won't let me buy even 1 ticket anywhere in the arena??...it must have crashed ??:shrug:

[Madness Fades]

Is anyone having any luck with presale tickets???

I keep getting the message "sorry no matches found"

This is completely wrong

[golddustboy71]

its total crap...can't buy on seat anywhere...it must be crashing ??:shrug:

[nevedix20]

are ppl in dublin getting the option of standing. they didn't have standing for FM before

[Madness Fades]

Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!!

I just got Standing in Dublin. Gonna be right at the very front.
I could not be happier right now. That was a very stressful hour with ticketmaster..

Delighted.

[TheWILDheart]

We've had no luck with 02 priority - keeps saying "no tickets available". Going to try again tomorrow with live nation and failing that, general sale on Friday. Does anyone know anything about the meet & greet tickets for the UK?

[Phil Lee]

I bought a Meet and Greet ticket for Manchester from Mick's website (http://www.mickfleetwoodofficial.com/) as soon as they went on sale at 9am this morning. I went for the more expensive option and pulled up a front row seat. After getting approval from my wife, I went ahead and ordered it. It's a heck of a lot of money but it may be the last chance I get to see the band live (I know we always say that). I've not done one of these meet and greets before so it's a special treat.

Looking at his site now, the best I can pull up is 3rd row for Manchester and Glasgow and 7th row for London. There are no VIP seats for Birmingham on sale.

[beccamorrisfift]

Hiya, does anyone know how to sign up for ticketmaster presale? For the O2 tomorrow. Ta x

[Ulpian]

Similar problems with the o2 site crashing. What a waste.

Does anyone know which website to use on Friday for the general sale for London?

Ta :D

[TheWILDheart]

Just register on live nation :)

[Phil Lee]

Can you not get London tickets through Live Nation tomorrow just by registering with them?

[poetinmyheart]

I tried O2 presale for LDN this morning at 9am. Was kept in a 'waiting room'; when it finally connected 20 mins later no seats were available in any price brackets. As usual O2 Priority was a load of rubbish! Will try Live Nation and then general.

Not panicking just yet. I think they'll add a couple more LDN dates.

[nevedix20]

Pretty upset... i tried for over an hour during my lunch break in college today trying to get tickets for MCD presale for Dublin and no luck. just as i finished searching they said they were all sold out. booo

I was dying to get 2 standing tickets. The fact that in 09 there was no standing and this time there is made me so determined to get them.

Oh well will have to wait till friday to get good seats i guess.

Now I am really hoping for a second show so that I can try get my dream tickets.. standing right there in front of Stevie Nicks.
And by the looks of it the presale went so well today that a 2nd show is likely... crossing my fingers so hard.

Hi Phil.

Glad you got yourself a VIP ticket, you can't beat front row!

I've just registered on Mick's site but when I clicked on the Manchester tour date there was no link to buy or any prices. Have they all gone or am I doing something wrong? (More likely the latter:rolleyes:;))

[golddustboy71]

Well good luck everyone with the sales tomorrow... I feel a bit comforted that I'm not the only one who found the 02 pre sale useless and ended up with nothing ! .... And to think I renewed my contract with them just so I could get fleetwood mac tickets .:shrug:.. Lesson learnt

[Dragonfly]

I'm with 02 but didn't even bother with them as I've heard so many bad things about pre sales.

I'll try Live Nation tomorrow.

[nevedix20]

Wow I'm glad I didn't go that far but definitely upset.. All I am hoping is that I get good seats on Friday and they add another date since the presale tickets sold out so fast. Giving me a 2nd chance to get standing tickets!!!

[gfd1963]

O2 presale for Manchester had Block 115 (first side block)Rows M and S.

[Dodfather]

You guys should be fine with Live Nation pre-sale. Not all the best tickets are given ten to 02. I've never used O2 priority but make sure to get Live Nation presale at 91m and have always got great tickets for various gigs that way, including Unleashed in 2009. You gotta be on sharp at 9am tomorrow though! :)

[Jondalar]

Geesh, it look like this tour is going to be a major success.

[beccamorrisfift]

I am psyching myself out for tomorrow.

Looks like the site has changed since this morning. In the events section there used to be several pages of events. Anyway, you can get to each of the european dates through the news article at http://www.mickfleetwoodofficial.com/news/127631. A quick look shows that most of the tickets have sold already.

Cheers for that.

Looking at the prices I'll have to leave it but thanks anyway:)

[Dragonfly]

Geesh, it look like this tour is going to be a major success.

I think there will definitely be more dates added as I can see these UK tickets being snapped up, even at the inflated prices.

I can't see them only doing one London show, even at a huge venue like the 02 - so maybe if people miss out on good seats they'll get another chance.

According to someone on another site (not Fleetwood Mac related) the demand for tickets is expected to easily exceed the 2003/2009 tours.

[beccamorrisfift]

I'm wearing my FWM teeshirt, a sparkly skirt and a denim jacket today, all of which are my lucky clothes. I'm so so so nervous.

[Darroch]

At the ready...got live nation open and also got a link via The Hydro website (only for Glasgow).

Going to get x3 of the £75 tickets. The next jump to £125 is too much and i think not worth the value!

Can't wait, i've been dreaming for the past three years for this to happen!! :blob2::]

[beccamorrisfift]

Yes. Yeeeeeeeeeees Omfg Omfg Omfg Omfg Omfg Yessss Fuuuuuuuck Yes

[Dragonfly]

Nightmare time for me:distress:

Had problems logging into Live Nation and when eventually got on all I was offered was crappy seats in the wings.

Now it looks as though they've sold out Manchester for pre sales anyway.

Apparently the demand for tickets has taken everyone by surprise.

Will try general sales tomorrow but otherwise it'll be paying over the odds or nothing.

[Darroch]

God that was stressful. Ticket soup displays what blocks you can select but with live nation you are allocated a block and seat within that. I got through with live nation but decided i didn't want the block and seat they allocated so went out and back in and it said they weren't any tickets left. However i eventually managed to get back in and got tickets in the same block. Could have waited until tomorrow but wanted piece of mind today!

Hopefully by paying £85 each they are decent seats..!

[Phil Lee]

The Live Nation pre-sale has sold out for all venues. There are still tickets available from the Manchester Arena pre-sale but they are coming up a long way from the stage. I just pulled up block D, row L when I tested it.

[Ulpian]

The Live Nation site crashed on me three or four times, then said there were no tickets left. :distress:

I give up. I'm not that desperate to see them tbh: I saw them in 03 and 09. I will try with the general sale tomorrow, but I get the impression that for whatever reason this tour is garnering interest beyond expectation, and so it'll probably be the same story when the remaining tickets go up.

Same thing with me:distress:

I saw them three times in 2003 and was front row for all three so I'll only go if I get very good seats.

The demand is way, way higher than in 2003/2009 as noted before according to someone I spoke to who works in the business. In 2003 they played Manchester twice but I think only once in 2009? Maybe they weren't expecting the rush for tickets.

Well done to all those who got tickets though:thumbsup:

[Dragonfly]

Thanks for that info Phil.

Block D is pretty good but after being up front the last few times I saw them I was hoping to get lucky with a Block A-C seat.

The platinum tickets have Block A, front row available but it's £450 a pair.

I'm hoping they add a second Manchester date but I doubt it. I think it'll only be London that get dates added.

[wild-heart]

Stressful morning. Live Nation pre sale always sucks. It took me fourteen attempts to get Madonna tickets (I got them) last time because they kept saying none available. I persisted though. Took me about 6 attempts but I got two tickets for Birmingham. Decent seats too.

[Phil Lee]

Blimey, a single Platinum ticket is quite a bit more money than I spent to get a Meet and Greet with Mick.

[poetinmyheart]

Managed to get 8 rows from stage after several unsuccessful attempts. Live Nation kept crashing/saying that no tickets were available. Pretty stressful as I was at work and was trying to book with a class full of kids. I think they thought I was going crazy! Surely more UK dates will be announced as there has been such a big response to presale.

[dersaw]

I went and queued at the secc box office for the presale for the hydro glasgow and got front row tickets. Delighted as the tickets I have had for the shows in 2003 and 2009 were not great. I now cant wait until October. Bit pricy however.

[stevienicksfan1]

im so happy that i got a meet and greet for mick in dublin.. just hope it all goes smoothly .. i wonder if it will be before or after the concert .. and will details be emailed on what exactly we should do ... gonna have to buy a standing ticket as well though as i want to stand at the stage ... and it looks like they will add a second date (well hopefully) like they did in 2009 .. cant wait to see them again.. roll on sept 20th

[beccamorrisfift]

I'm waaay up in the nosebleeds but i couldn't care less, just keep remembering that I'm going to be seeing so many of my favourite songs played live by people I love, and it's going to be amazing regardless of where I'm sitting.

Nice one:thumbsup:

I was reading about the Hydro at the weekend, have you been there before? It looks fab.

That gig should be great as it's on Lindsey's birthday!

[McTrouble]

I believe it's not even finished yet - think the first performance there isn't until September

[McTrouble]

I already posted my shows in the Mick M&G thread but I can't resist listing them again cos I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited! :blob2:

Birmingham - Mick M&G 3rd Row centre

Manchester - Mick M&G 1st Row centre

Glasgow - 1st Row centre

[Jondalar]

I think it is sooo neat that Fleetwood Mac is sooo hot over there.

[vivfox]

Glasgow - 1st Row centre


Right below the Queen of the chiff's.:laugh:

[Darroch]

I believe it's not even finished yet - think the first performance there isn't until September

I believe it opens in July. This venue sounds as if its going to be pretty good being purpose built for concerts rather than the all purpose SECC which is terrible for sound acoustics!

[nevedix20]

2nd DATE added in Dublin and London I am over the moon!!!!

[Stu]

I already have a ticket for the Tuesday at the O2 in London from the pre-sale on Wednesday.

In my haste this morning, i’ve bought ANOTHER ticket for that night, rather than the 2nd date!
Would anyone want to swap my spare on the Tuesday for the Wednesday?!


PM if so!

[Fleetwoodmark]

Couldn't get a ticket for the Hydro for love nor money. Went on Ticketmaster at 8:55 and there were no tickets left!

Was also on Ticketsoup simultaneously and was 600th in a queue. By the time I got to 150, it came back saying they were all gone.

Stitch up. Been waiting 4 years to see them again!

[Jason]

There's a lot of availability on Seatwave already for both London dates for considerably less than the Platinum prices.

I used them for both previous tours without any issue so fingers crossed!

[gfd1963]

Anybody having trouble try See tickets. Random tickets still popping up after 10.30 am. Normal price. All levels. Just keep refreshing page if nothing shows.

[TheWILDheart]

Managed to get second row on Stevie's side for the second London show :blob2:

[tango87]

Total nightmare - I spent more than an hour wrestling with Ticketmaster and typing gibberish into its loathsome 'reCaptcha' thing - finally gave up and went to the O2 site. Just managed to get block A2, row Q - not the greatest, but it'll do for me! Relief...

[Jason]

I just got two on the front row on Lindsey's side for the second London show. Yay!

[Stu]

managed to get a Wednesday ticket as well now - hoorah!

[Blue Horizon]

The whole Live Nation/Ticketmaster/Seatwave/Getmein! thing is a total crock of S**t. Talk about a ripoff. I have tried all morning to get tickets for the 29/09/13 Birmingham gig with no success. Prepared to pay up to £300 for 2 tickets but I will not be shafted with add on fees of £80 processing fee etc when dealing with Getmein!. When looking at the total cost it is nearer £450/500.
Looks like I may have to miss out:mad:
As Mr Green Said......Oh Well!

[gfd1963]

Third London date added, for anyone who missed out.

[jedw]

Tried both presales, and on the dot of 9.00 am friday. (for Manchester)

no tickets whatsoever.

Interesting, all the tickets sold instantly but nobody got tickets . right.:shrug:

[gfd1963]

There were coming up for me in Manchester 02 presale but not Live Nation. They were available on See Tickets until after 10.30 am this morning.

Ten minutes ago there were two single tickets available on Eventim for Manchester.

[Stu]

Got tickets for all 3 London dates!

[vivfox]

Got tickets for all 3 London dates!


Be prepared for the same rehearsed speeches every night and the same show that might leave you dissapointed that you paid an arm, a leg and first, last & security on a new flat.

[McTrouble]

Right below the Queen of the chiff's.:laugh:

I have sharp elbows and a great aim for kicking.....I'll be over in front of the main man pronto! :rolleyes::p

[poetinmyheart]

It's good that extra dates have been added. 3 nights at the LDN O2 is impressive. Capacity is 20,000 compared to 12,500 for Wembley Arena. So much buzz here in the UK about them right now.

[TheWILDheart]

Quit yer moanin! You don't want to see that? Fine. Don't go. But if you're going to be hanging around these parts at tour ticket time, you're going to have to deal with the fact that people are excited.

I was doing that last night. Loved all the people talking about setting their alarms, credit cards at the ready, to get their tickets booked. Exciting, exciting! Roll on September. It feels too far away :D

Same!! I don't think I would of coped if I had to attempt to get tickets today. I was a nervous wreck yesterday. Lot's of people disappointed on twitter though which is a shame. I know, it feels like forever away. I'll just be starting my final year at Uni.

I'm glad I didn't have to try today either. O2 Priority made me unbalanced on Wednesday, and Ticketmaster always has the power to send me over the edge.

Yes, horrible for people who were online dead on 9am and still couldn't get through. I wonder if any more dates will be added anywhere else in the UK?

Such a shame. People were just trying the once though. You need to keep at it. It took so many attempts on pre sale before I got offered mine.

I think they might do. There's enough space in between dates isn't there. If they did announce more I'd be so tempted to do another date. I was tempted by the extra London dates but my friend wouldn't want to go again. Hmm.

[TheWILDheart]

I wonder if any more dates will be added anywhere else in the UK?

There are still fairly big gabs in the tour dates - they could easilly slip an additional Manchester date in. Or maybe Sheffield? I know they played there for Unleashed. There's also Metro Radio Arena Newcastle, Capital FM Arena Nottingham, Echo Arena Liverpool and new Leeds Arena that will all be big enough venues for the Mac to play.

[Dragonfly]

I tried Live Nation again this morning but it stalled for ages and then said no tickets left for Manchester:distress:

My only hope now is for them to add a second Manchester show (can't see Liverpool being added as only holds 8000) or to save like hell and hope a decent seat pops up nearer the date.

Well done to those who were lucky though:thumbsup:

[gold_dust]

I got three tickets for Birmingham this morning with relative ease. I've spent the rest of the day constantly checking to see whether I actually bought them. LOL. I'm super excited but it does sound like the ticket sites were shockingly poor (even if they worked fine for me) for a number of fans.

[golddustboy71]

I'm totally disillusioned ..... I've been a UK Mac/Stevie fan since 87, seen them and her at every opportunity I can and despite gargantuan efforts on Wednesday, Thursday and today have been unable to secure 02 tickets for anything other than in the nosebleed seats :shrug::shrug::shrug:... Not quite sure what to do now... ?? Really wasnt expecting this at all???:shrug:

[steve.uk]

Brum, front row , block A. Off GetMeIn for around twice face value. Felt bad, but been by Stevies mike for last two tours and couldn't contemplate not being. Who will be standing next to me ?

I kept checking I had actually brought mine too. HAHA. It doesn't feel real. I have waited so long. Birmingham for me too.

[gypsysoul]

I've failed to get anything. Does anyone know if another London date is likely to be added?

[Neil72uk]

I've failed to get anything. Does anyone know if another London date is likely to be added?

Have a look on the Stargreen website...they have upper tier tickets available

[D.W-Suite]

It is a complete and utter f***ing travesty that sites such as Get Me In exist. It's even more of a disgrace to see that it is actually endorsed by Ticketmaster. What a joke.

[Caroline]

Like many others on here I think it's disgusting that places like getmein have access to a vast number of tickets that they sell on at extortionate prices. I tried and tried to get tickets - been a fan since 1983 - but just couldn't get my hands on them.

Does anybody think they will add Thursday or Saturday to their London stint?

Looking on Ebay and people are charging ridiculous prices for seats starting with the number 4. Having been to the O2 in seat 4 something or other I wouldn't want to do it again, makes the whole idea of a concert quite pointless.

i can't stand what online scalping has done to limiting access to concert tickets, especially for bands that are selling well, so what i'm going to say next is against my better judgement:

if someone is desperate to get a hold of a ticket, and willing to take a bus, some resellers seem to have prices for GA standing floor in Amsterdam for example that are somewhat less than regular ticket prices were anywhere in the UK. if you check songkick they will usually have a link to both face value tickets (if they are not sold out) as well as several "reputable" resellers sites (that will besides inflated ticket price also charge you an arm and a leg for their fees and "services").

[gfd1963]

For anyone who missed out on tickets for Manchester, it looks that side view tickets have been released. Available at Eventim at normal, non-scalper prices.

[UnwoundDreams]

Managed to snag 2 tickets for the Birmingham show during the LiveNation pre-sale. I do have my suspicions as I got them at around 7pm that night after coming home from school, even though they were supposed to have sold out way before then - it took me a few tries to get to some tickets though, after going through the £55 and £65 price blocks with no results.

I'm sat in Block 6, Row YF - anyone know if these seats are any good?

[wild-heart]

I really want to do a London date too but I refuse to pay the prices that people are charging online. They usually release more tickets nearer the date so I'm going to keep a look out.

I'm sure those idiots who are selling them for £700 on ebay will start flapping once the dates get closer and they haven't sold:rolleyes:

Has anyone seen the concerts advertised in the newspapers in the UK? I haven't seen any at all even though I did in 2003/2009 - I'm guessing the tickets sold so well that they didn't need to bother? Amazing if that is the case, almost unheard of.

Hi everybody, I'm new on here!

I had a crazy experience getting tickets too! If you'd asked me Thursday last week I would have told you that the presales etc are a waste of time and that they don't release any decent tickets whatsoever. I ended up buying a VIP ticket for the first london show off mick's website 7 rows from the front - only cos I'd done my homework. £300 spent already. And for me, in my mind i had always visioned myself at the front so I was happy.

Then came Friday - general sale. My best friend had already decided we needed to go at least 3 times before it was ever even announced that they would be touring the UK. So she got Birmingham tickets in the general sale - Block 15 so not too bad! I was happy to be going again. £140 later.

Then comes 14.15 on Friday afternoon. I shouldn't really be on the internet at work, but I was just curious so I checked o2 Priority and I see another London date for the friday. I try my luck - not expecting anything - as usual just try again later kind of stuff when I get block a2 row E. The term NO BRAINER has never been more relevant in my life. And there and then I parted with another¢£140!!!! Now I see on Ticketmaster Platinum - worse a view seats for like 4x that price! It's ridiculous! Everyone tells me to sell but these tickets can't be valued - they are priceless!

I'm glad you've got great seats - any Mac fan deserves great tickets. I've done some research into my seats (Block 6, Row YF) at the LG - they're good, but not the best. I'm right at the back of the block on the side, but I'll probably still get a good view of the screens and the band. September feels too far away!! :blob2:

Welcome charnicks88 and congratulations on your tickets:blob2:


When they toured in 2003 I managed to get front row for three shows, they cost me an arm and a leg but I don't have a single regret!

Sadly my finances and health aren't what they were so I couldn't have done that this time, but if you have the money and you love the band then why not?

Hope you have a wonderful time at the shows:D

I've got front row for three UK shows - damn what I paid but I also don't have a single regret!

After all, I think this will be last we see of the Mac on tour......which can't end soon enough so we can have Lindsey back solo for ever more!

I know, I know, I bang on quite a bit about this! :rolleyes::D

Good for you honey:blob2:

If I had the money and was in better health I'd be doing the same. As it is I'll save like mad and see if I can pick up a decent ticket for the Manchester show nearer the time.

I was in front of LB for all three shows so can understand you, no need to worry about banging on about it!

Hope you have a great time:D

I saw the ones on ebay for £600 then some on getmein I think it was for over a grand. No one will pay that. I was thinking a week before London and they haven't sold, the prices will go down so if no more seats have been released I'll get one that way. If not I still have Birmingham. :D

Although I haven't spent half as much on Mac tickets (so far) as I did when I saw Madonna last summer I do feel a tiny bit guilty that my student loan pays for it. haha. I do try to justify it to myself though, that I don't really drink (terrible for a student I know ;)) and most of my money goes on Photography stuff and trips & whatever. Plus I've loved them for so long and this might be my only chance to see them.

Yes, a solo UK tour please! Still not over the tour debacle last year. The less I say about that the better.

[gypsysoul]

Have a look on the Stargreen website...they have upper tier tickets available

Thank you, Neil? Will do.

[lvhlive!]

Just in case anyone is interested, I have two individual tickets for a night that I now can't go to - both in block A3 at the O2, Weds 25th, rows F&K. They were all I could get at the time in the mad rush, then I realized I couldn't use them anyway! I am getting rid of them at face value rather than putting them on ticket websites, i.e. £140. Private message me if interested at any point!

Well, poet, I never gave up badgering him about this last year every time I chatted with him.......he always promised me he would come but would never commit to when! :shrug:

Apologies for bumping a months old thread, but there are tickets available for the Glasgow Hydro show via their official website. There are some pretty good seats, but I can't seem to pull up pairs so I guess only single tickets are available.

also, additional tickets, on the side of the stage, for both Amsterdam shows have been released this week, including for the sold out 10/7 show.

[poetinmyheart]

My tickets for the 1st London show arrived a few days ago. Not long to wait now! :D

[UnwoundDreams]

My tickets for Birmingham arrived a few weeks ago. It was so surreal holding them in my hands and knowing that I'll be in the same room as my favorite band in a matter of 2 months.
