yea it did say that for most venues but that was because they'd all gone.i was chasing round venues on the site but every time i got there they'd gone!! already going for 220 pound a pair on e-bay

I managed to get two tickets for Glasgow Academy this morning.

I made damn sure my Ticketmaster account was set up the night before with my billing/credit card info in their system. They reserve the tickets for 2 minutes you once you begin the ordering process, I got mine at just after 9am.

I haven't checked the site since the email confirmation (will do now) but if his Scottish dates sell slowly I might get an extra ticket for either Dundee or Aberdeen. 70 quid's all I can afford for the time being!

So good to see that he can't be bothered with Manc Aid.

Here's hoping he gets chronic laryngitis!

I doubt Mozzer would want to breath the same air as Joyce,he'd probably kill him quicker than the big"C". Would have been great at least for Mozz/Marr get together.

A friend of mine managed to get Oxford tickets,so I'm on chauffeur duties! Everywhere else sold out.

What a stupid fucking thing to say on a thread replied to by people who are wanting to see Morrissey live :nonono: I couldn't give a toss that he's not doing MvC and if you use your brain for 10 seconds it's quite easy to figure out why: Andy Rourke aided Joyce in his court case, Moz is not on chummy terms with Johnny Marr plus Hooky recently laid into him in print. Would you go if you were him? I wouldn't.

Also, Rourke recently confessed in an interview he didn't think it would be worth asking Morrissey so it's not that he "can't be bothered", he wasn't asked to do it in the first place.

Joyce isn't involved in Manchester v Cancer to my knowledge, it's just Andy Rourke. I read a recent interview (The Times I think) with Marr where he said he was quite happy sharing a stage with Rourke as they were mates from childhood and had worked out their issues. However when Joyce was mentioned Marr sounded visibly pissed off with the interviewer and reminded him of the court case, I think it was the only point in the entire interview he swore.

After a struggle I managed to get tickets for Leeds and Llandudno. Tried to get tix for the Lowry but it was fooking impossible. Never had this much trouble getting tickets for any gig. I can't believe Moz is playing four nights here and I won't make even one!

Why give Moz grief over not doing Manc Aid? He wasn't likely to just turn up or anything.

I've heard (not 100%) a local record store will have some on sale 1st thing tomorrow. Don't tell anyone I told you.

27 Jan 2006, 14:01

It all seemed to have sold out by about 3 seconds past 9am this morning....BASTARD!! It has never been so difficult to get gig tickets as it is these days. Whatever happened to being able to turn up on the night if you fancied it, instead of having to plan your social life at least 4 months in advance, and then being disappointed!!! I could think of several rude words to use now, beginning with F, S, B, W C and so on..! :banghead: :angry: :thumbdown:

27 Jan 2006, 16:13

i think i have managed to get my hands on one ticket,yeehaw.

27 Jan 2006, 20:37

I tried getting them with ticketmaster...it was a deadend zone..then i tried gigsandtours and i got what i wanted.....4 tix for bridgewater hall.....

having said that,i feel guilty for getting the tickets knowing that so many wonderful mancunians didn't make it :cry:

Ooooh, Manchester, so much to answer for...........

Could have been a good chance for reconcillation thou' surely? And maybe Hooky laid into him partly because of this missed opportunity? And I thought threads were for debating... This is new order online and not morrisey online after all...

No. Anyone who's got even a casual knowledge of post-Smiths Morrissey & Marr relations will know that any chance of reconciliation is slim to none. I don't see how a charity gig, however worthy, would or should change that. Besides, half the people on the MvC bill probably think he's a twat as well. I reiterate, would you go if you were him and under those circumstances?

And maybe Hooky laid into him partly because of this missed opportunity?

No and you're twisting what could've been Hooky's reason to fit your own assumptions. If you look back through recent Hooky interviews the reason why he thinks Morrissey is a twat is clear, and has nothing to do with his absence from the MvC bill. As we already established Morrissey wasn't invited in the first place so why should he get stick?

And I thought threads were for debating... This is new order online and not morrisey online after all...

You weren't debating, you were wishing laryngitis on an individual everyone on this particular thread is interested in seeing live. So don't act all surprised and play the "I'm just debating" card when you get some justified stick in return.

There are quite a few of us on here who have spent the best part of 200 quid getting tickets for these shows and having someone chipping in with "I wish illness on the person you've got tickets for" isn't really going to provoke the best reaction is it?

I can't believe I had to explain those last two paragraphs to be honest.
