Manics on BBC Master Tapes 19th September

Official Tweet: James, Nicky & Sean with be on @BBCRadio4 Mastertapes 19th Sept talking about the Holy Bible. Apply for free tickets http://tinyurl.com/oupq49k

Looks like you put your name on a list for free tickets and they issue them a couple of weeks before...but they issue too many so you still need to queue to get in?

Applied! Almost didn't considering the terms and conditions on having a ticket doesn't guarantee entrance...

I applied, though I've applied for dozens of these sort of things relating to the Manics and I've never gotten tickets before.

Really interested to see which tracks they play. If it's a selection from the same five or six they've been playing all year then fair enough, but it will make it pretty damn special for me if they play anything else (especially any of the fabled final three I've yet to hear live).

Have applied, although I've only been lucky twice with BBC recordings and that was for Cabin Pressure and The Armstrong and Miller Show a few years back, so I doubt I'll be successful. I know for some I've applied for before (think the last one was The Killers at Maida Vale), they heavily weighted it in favour of those with London postcodes, which is massively unfair, but I couldn't see anything about that in the T&C's this time, so it might vary from event to event.

The over-subscribing thing is standard practice for BBC recordings as well. It's to ensure they get full audiences, as there will no doubt be some people who don't turn up.

Do the T&C hint at first come first served in terms of the guest list, or is it just pot luck? I thought it looked like the former, but I've never been to one of these.

Oh good, let's encourage Manics fans to queue, that always ends well.

It's complete pot luck whether you get tickets or not. But once you have tickets the earlier you turn up the better, as they do over-subscribe with allocating tickets to ensure a full audience.
