Yes, I'd imgine it is just pre-sale - they only offer a limited amount of tickets in pre-sales. Don't worry, there'll be more out on Friday

Pre-sale is the no.1 marketing ploy to ensure panic buying when official sale begins. The Manics won't sell it out.

Ok, stupid question: if I buy the tickets with Ticketmaster, and I'm able to print them at home, can I have some problem? I mean, how can they be sure that the tickets are authentic, if I printed them at home?

I've only done print-at-home tickets via Ticketmaster once before, but you get given a link to a PDF document and the page has an unique barcode on it, which will get scanned on entry at the venue. So as long as you buy through the official avenues, you should be fine.

So I don't have to take with me my credit card, do I?

That's why I'm not panicking whilst I consider whether I can go or not!

I don't think so if you get actual print-out tickets, as they have barcodes that get scanned and can only be used once in the same way as the usual tickets you get. It'll say in the confirmation e-mail if you need to take the card you booked with.

When I went to see Blur in Hyde Park in 2009 (2009?), I bought a ticket from a guy known on their forum, and he gave me his printed at home ticket. He was with me because I didn't trust him enough (he could have printed 300 copies of that ticket), but we weren't asked for the credit card anyway. So no, no credit card.
And, anyway, it's always stated if you need to take your credit card with you.

Ok, so I'll buy with Ticketone. I hate receiving tickets at home because I never know when I can be found so better printing by myself. Thank you!

I was also there!
(ok, I was in Hyde Park and it was afternoon and the stage was being set up but I didn't attended the concert because of lack of time).
And it was 2009, yes

So...to the people going, which songs are you most looking forward to hearing?

For me, it has to be Found That Soul and There By the Grace of God. I also had a massive soft spot for Ocean Spray on the last tour, which surprised me as I'd never really rated it, so looking forward to hearing that again!
