Blimey. Tickets have gone a bit pricey, what? Like every other bloody thing. I've not earned a penny since march 2016 so i might be out of this one.

I really would like to know how they justify the £5.95 delivery charge.

1st class signed for post for a 24cm letter envelope is only £1.75 with Royal Mail (£1.66 2nd class). I can only assume Sean has taken on a part time postie job, and will be delivering all tickets himself!!

Already mentioned this it in another thread. Only 17000 views on youtube so far for the album teaser, of which probably 400 of me . It means nobody seems to care, right? I guess some of these tour dates won't sell out at all unless they release a cracking single and their new album gets lots of promotion.

Aye, gonna get Cardiff sorted tomorrow cos that's a home gig on a Saturday and small as far as arenas go so probably second most likely to sell out... Manchester, fucking 20,000 are you joking? Might just get one for a tenner on the night.

Not really, I've only watched it once, out of curiosity. I'm not really into album teasers.

I'd say that was quite a lot of views actually given the current level of popularity.

Sean Moore sent me a PM on twitter when I asked about Irish dates. He said they honestly don't know at this point but are trying to plan something, then he apologised. Such a nice guy

EDIT: Just noticed he's now following me, I'll have to be on my best behaviour!

Same here.

I don't think YouTube views are much of useful metric either.

There are many Manics videos that cannot be viewed in Canada.

I'm quite taken aback that people don't like the artwork, espeically as it is in keeping with a lot of their recent covers.

And also, they could have tunred out like THIS!

Thanks for your reply. I love the artwork, it's authentic and I think Nicky cares a lot about the cover art and leitmotif such as Samurai being those who serve, though I also love his polaroid book without words too. I hope we get to hear some of the new songs before the album release.
