I'll be making this one, assuming a nice person from Scarlet Mist shows up at Cardiff. Never been to Leicester, is it a good venue?

I have just had an email from Gigsandtours after complaining to them I need my tickets for this gig by Thursday as doubt I will be able to get them from a sorting office or my house address after that. There reply was "We apologise for the delay in getting tickets to you for your recent order. Unfortunately, we are still awaiting receipt of the tickets from the event organisers. As soon as we've received them we'll dispatch them to you, to the address provided at the time of booking". A total joke!

Unfortunately due to the years of ticket touts, more and more companies are doing this for gigs. I understand the frustration but remember it's out of the ticket agent's hands when they get hold of their stock to distribute.

Hope you get it sorted!!!

The best way to get to Leicester for a gig at De Montfort Hall is to go by train as the railway station is a lot nearer the venue. You are likely to get lost trying to find it from the bus station, so if you do go by bus then take one of the taxis.

Once you get out of the railway station turn left and go up the hill in the direction of the taxi rank heading towards the mini Tesco then past all of the Indian restaurants (worth visiting by the way).

Keep going up the hill, eventually you will pass a pub called 'The Loaded Dog' (does good student food) and eventually reach a Black Horse Apocalypse.

You will then see a big park across the road. Cross the road and go through the big park gates. You will find yourself in a repository for carriages of no horse drawn.

Walk in a straight line and you will eventually see an Art Deco style theatre on your right. That is De Montfort Hall. The best part of the venue is the floor which is very accommodating for pogoists.

No tickets yet either. I'm with my long standing gig buddy, my girlfriend and her mum. Can't wait now. Btw it will be 20 years since I've seen them in Leicester :-)

I won't be able to make this gig now so I will be putting my seating ticket up for sale very soon (just in case anyone is interested). Will post something in the correct place later tonight.

love your directions I probably should have gone on the train as it only takes 15 mins but decided to drive - which fills me with dread as I hate driving in Leicester...

Have fun who are going tonight. And if you do get the setlist, please photograph it after the gig instead of during!
