Very pleased they've chosen a venue with seating this time, perfect for when I need it

Got my tickets Block 5

Damn with faint praise that it won't have sold out by then, but I reckon I get a ticket after Christmas. And I'm getting my old job back that I had when I saw THB20!
So confident! Hope to see you here. Good chance the rest of the tour will have greater shows with no technical fuckups.
But happy to just experiencing it through a venue I've never actually used!

I'll be there! Never been to a gig in Liverpool before but it's the closest to Manchester. Now just got to decide whether to hang around for ages until there's a train or just book a cheap room somewhere.

I took a quick look online the other day and there seemed to be one at about 3.30 in the morning. I'm not leaving the gig early either way so I might book a room somewhere just to get rid of the problem.

Aye, it's 23:38. Was there the other day, it's about a 20 minute walk to Lime Street so plenty of time.

The standing tickets had sold out, which didn't surprise me. But the stage being reduced a bit didn't either. so I'm on the right stands and my neck will be aching from looking right the day after!
See you in the queue before waving you goodbye as I go up into the seating entrances!

Fucking hell, £52?!

Surprises me just how much more seating is than standing sometimes. I get that there's the comfort thing but you're probably not gonna get as good a view as you do standing. Smacks of a penalty for people less able to stand for several hours...

I was thinking the price was going to include the orchestra I thought they'd be taking along? If it's them as a three piece with keyboards and backing tracks, with only Swansea getting the full enhancement, then I'm also down with that!

Me and the mrs are going, taking our teenage daughter with us for her 1st ever gig - so we had to do standing, of course :-D She is trying her best to learn the songs as I type, I think she may be just a tiny bit excited!

Yeah, I've never got that either. Well, some rock gigs at least. Summat like David Gilmour, don't suppose it matters how far back you are. And that Kate Bush gig we went to, I feel like that may have been more of a case of further back and higher up the better with all the visuals going on. That sea on stage, bet it looked better from where we were standing than it did on the front row.

But yeah, it's bollocks innit?

I presume if anyone's gonna get an orchestra it'll be Royal Albert Hall. I'd love it if all the gigs got that treatment but wouldn't count on it, think it was Journal tour that only had an orchestra in London? Bloody London...

Should be a great introduction, hope you all enjoy

Standing tickets are (seemingly) back on sale for this. I was just looking to see if everything was sold out, and it ain't! So if you wanted standing and didn't get, gigs and tours may be worth a look!
