Still loads left for Anfield.  Doesn't bode well for a second date on 7th June.

 

To be fair, Anfield was in trouble the moment the indoor shows in Manchester were announced.

 

When I've got the option for an intimate (by ESB standards) show in a brand new air conditioned venue with padded seats, why on earth would I go 30 miles down the road (in my case, further away) to get a worse view, reportedly bad acoustics, further away from the stage, potentially get rained on, all for either the same or more money?

 

I was fully up for going to Liverpool when I thought it was going to be the only English show. Once the Manchester shows were announced, all my focus went there and tbh if I'd failed on tickets for Manchester I doubt I'd have defaulted back to Liverpool (having seen the band plenty enough times over the years that I don't have FOMO).

Aye, its Manchester or bust for me. Was at Macca years ago at Anfield and it was ace but it was a pain in the backside to get to/from.

 

San Sebastien still an option - though would have to fly from down south to make it work with the numbers.

San Sebastian way too close to the G for comfort. Currently looking at Lille.....but f**k knows how to get there.  Fly to Brussels I guess.

Fly to London, Eurostar is ninety minutes for £45 one way.

I think Lille #1 will shift quicker once Friday's onsale has been for British dates. If they sell out, plenty will consider it as the next best option.

 

Nobody seems enamoured with Gelsenkirchen, it seems. Apparently, shows there can descend into a mess.

I'd live to go for a holiday in San Sebastian way but getting there is like fly to Bilboa I think and then trek from there.

Went on Priority on my phone at 10:46, had to reset my ticketmaster password, got put in a queue, then when the time came nothing happened for about a minute, then I found myself number 250 or something. I've had trouble in the past with a queue that was throwing me out tho, so I know your pain.

It got me to reset my password too!  It might’ve an anti-bot thing

I have to redo my ticketmaster password every time I buy anything because I never remember it

 

Sometimes this happens 30 seconds before I'm waving my phone at security

James Blunt ruled out and Kylie only free Friday given her pattern of dates

A find the Ticketmaster app an absolute nightmare particularly around logging in. -   You can access your tickets on the website. on the my account section - it works so much better plus you can remain logged in for a much longer time than the app that seems to kick you out after bout an hour

You could fly to Biarritz and trek from there. It's actually a bit closer.

Right after Glasto as well…

Got Ocean Colour Scene tickets for next March, seated, £47 each or so.

 

I was surprised at how quickly they were selling out, especially the 'better' seats. Annoyingly, I specifically selected an upper tier block (literally clicked on the seats I wanted), and after I'd payed, noticed I'd been allocated lower tier at the very front.... not the end of the world like, but a bit cack and odd!
