New Order live @ Apollo, Manchester, 2005.11.14

I once walked past the door of a Blur concert and the doorman offered to let me go in for free!

I refused, of course!

I should fucking think so

I will be seeing you all in Manchester and Brixton. I can't believe that i managed to wangle the end of one week and the start of the next off work in one huge blagg. :)

jesus,alan partridge was right about them 12 foot chickens

BLOODY HELL!! I hope that thing's FOOKING quarantined!!!!:D

Looking for some guidance here. I've been offered a ticket for the Apollo gig, but only one so Deek will have to stay at home. Problem is I don't know my way around Manchester at all. I have had a look on the net and found that there's a train from the airport to Piccadilly Station which should be near the Apollo. But where to go from there? Where to stay? I'd rather not travel all over town on me own. I'm bound to get lost. And have we decided on a meetup place yet? Will it be near the Apollo? Don't fancy missing everybody and having to go on my own. Still in two minds here, about whether I should try for a London ticket instead. Just can't make up my mind :(

Go and fookin' see it then, and don't waste your precious time telling us what you ain't doing!

Personally, i think its actually quite reasonable. Its only slightly cheaper to see Morrissey and roughly the same to see Depeche and The Cure. Its the laws of supply and demand, simple as that really.

Tickets arrived this morning.

Apollo ones? Mine too. I hate those shitty little things - you pay £40 you want something pretty like the Hyde Park ones. I'm a sad sack and frame all my gig tickets these days so this kind of thing matters. Unlike Liam, I've given up pretending I actually have a life....

yep,worth it to see god likes. and i know someone's paying 30 quid just to see bloody simple minds and thats at the uni,which is usually about 15 quid.

then again you can get 2 doves ( 17.50p at both manc and preston ) for one new order

And Mine! 2 I do want, 2 I don't!! - C'mon there must be someone out there who wants them??

So what you could do is go and see doves twice and new order twice, and not miss out on anything! Well, thats what i'm doing.

Goin to see the Doves in Tokyo on Sunday night. Would love to say it's cos I'm 'ardcore but it's just cos I'm gonna be in town. Mind you.....fifth Doves gig in twelve months......is there a Viking's equivalent for Manchester's second best band?

actually the singer jimi would look good as a viking ive met the drummer and he told me he's into new order,he was admiring and touching my viking badge. hands of it

Tickets arrived yesterday. Bring it on.

When did everyone order tickets - mine have not even tried to arrive yet (unless they have tried today whilst being stuck at work)?!

I ordered a ticket for the gig, got a week off at work, booked a B&B in London, booked a hostel in Mancland and bought a plane ticket. I guess I'm a complete twat then!

No, that makes you pretty bloody hardcore really!!

Robbing B£stards He will probably mime anyway

No he wont. He'll read of an autocue. he always does.

Ladies and Gentlemen... the ticket I was watching on ebay just dived to 44quid, I scored it. i said I'd leave it to the Gods, and the Gods gave me a sign, what was I to do :)

One way or the other, after 20 years of devout worship, and despite illness and financial ruin.....I am going to see the greatest band in the known universe. and drink a lot with you cunts!
