Be warned, the waterfront site lists the ticket prices as £27.50 and £30.00 with no mention of VAT whatsoever, you will get hit with this at checkout. Is that even legal?

I just bought mine and the total price for two including booking fee was £56.50. I have used this site so many times. It's run by Belfast City Council. Just goes to show how much people get ripped off by ticketmaster.

Got to the bottom of it, they cocked up the ticket prices as follows:

Advertised at:

£27.50 standing
£30.00 seated

What they actually are:

£30.00 standing
£27.50 seated

What I was actually charged:

£33.00

So, in essence, a total mess.

I've been refunded £3.00 to make my ticket price £30 - but have raised a complaint due to the totally misleading set of circumstances around this.

They have since updated the website with the correct pricing structure.

You're better off going to the ticket stall rather than book online as ticketmaster rip you off online.

I'm on the train now. It's running a bit late, but my Travelodge is about 90 seconds from the venue so I should still hit the queue with two hours to spare!

Hopefully see some of you there. Think it will be a Lifeblood tee under my jacket tonight, plus the leopard print converse that I'm wearing to death on this tour. Say hello if you spot me!

Scratch that. Have gone for camouflage blazer, SATT tee, light skinny jeans, and leopard print converse.

Hope everyone has a brilliant night!

I'll be attempting to tweet the setlist to MSM, but I bet I forget all about it three songs in
