I can't see why they would announce the gigs in batches which is A shame for Welsh fans but probably the last nail in the coffin for The Midlands! If the Manics don't play here who will??

Also the North east, Newcastle etc. I don't what the demand is like but I would have thought it is worth a gig.

Gutted about Cardiff too, also gutted that can't make half the dates anyway :/ Wonder if they'll sneak some Welsh HB gig in somewhere at the end, a grande finale. Maybe after a US tour!

Just noticed that the Albert Hall has a vacancy for a Corporate Bookings Manager. So I could jack my job in and pray I get that one. Pretty extreme but worth it!!!

They could have played The Sage (Gateshead) or Newcastle City Hall and sold them out I'd imagine. Both hold around 2000.

I thought he played Koko in London on that tour?

I had to go to my "Gateway to Employment" course this morning, just after the announcement was made, so I went there kinda annoyed that there was no Welsh date.

Now, I am pricing things up, and considering a trip to Manchester or London at this point.

Glasgow tickets £35.75 according to this http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/manic-...ce-range-popup

So £38-45 prediction for London would sound about right!

Happy with all four venues actually, love them all. Gagging to get back to Albert Hall and Barrowland. Doubt I can afford Olympia but I will see if I can stretch to it because that place is lovely. Haven't been to the Roundhouse since My Bloody Valentine in 2008 but hope to get back there, even if that does mean going to That London.

I'm hoping to do Glasgow and two of the London gigs... Just e-mailed rostering with a begging letter asking for these days off as my company have just released six more winter leave days but December has already been rostered! Hoping they sort something out as we are always quiet during Dec. fingers crossed.

Obviously we know we're getting THB in full.

That's just an hour. What about the rest of the set? I'd imagine an intermission of some sort then a "Hits" second half.

Anyone else care to speculate? There were tweets that "Donkeys" had been rehearsed, maybe a PPF-style second rather than the usual Manics set of recent years...

It's GATS, but everyone (the band included) considers it the first track of the THB era. That's why I think it's a contender, really.

As far as related-but-complete shot-in-the-darks go, Judge Yr'self, anybody?

Reckon after the album James would have the lung power left to belt out Sculpture of Man?

Obviously not the decision of the band but I'm really annoyed with the timing of the announcement and ticket sale date.

I will be on a long haul flight when the tickets go on sale therefore am likely to miss out.

I was away when the O2 gig was announced and the tickets went on sale, so missed out on that one as well.

We have waited months for this announcement and surely organisers knew what was happening earlier and could have given more advance notice so that people can plan around it.

Also no pre-sale for fans which would have given me a chance to get tickets.

It really is time the band found someone else to organise their tours.

The lack of advance notice is something that irks me about the entire ticket system.
