Will they play Ireland? I know one member of the proud MancYoungTories would make the trip for that!

Actually i wouldnt. Probably.

£81.70 for two tickets through NME site. If anyone know if there's anywhere cheaper can they let me know. I'm so excited I think I'm going to wet myself.

Surely you aren't going to rustle up another - how the hell can you symbolise Brixton

£38 each at Ticketweb -

http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=uk&query=detail&event=142626&interface=brixacad

and £1.50 postage.

despite some frantic attempts to shuffle up some money/time off it looks like I'm going to have to give it a miss. Well, I'll still be working on it for a bit, never give up entirely. whats with all the weekdays?

Well, since I'll be on a training course that week in Hinckley, this is what my plans are so far! :p

Training Course --> Hinckley Station [taxi] Hinckley --> London (departs 5:30pm, arrives 7:15pm) [train] London --> Brixton (approx. half an hour) [tube]

Brixton --> Euston (before 11:40pm) [taxi] Euston --> Coventry (arrives 1:18am) [train] Coventry --> Hinckley Hotel [taxi]

Damn, I can't believe I'm even contemplating this!

I get the impression, you're fairly keen then? Unfortunately, there is no way I am going to talk my way out out of work - again!. By the way, what are you being 'trained' for?

Got a ticket!.Standing.Has to be standing.If it was only seats left i would not go!.I hate sitting at a NO gig. I'll be getting the train down from Rugby (will be great to escape "luddite" land for the night) sometime after 5pm.Doors at 7pm i see so should make it easy enough.What time do you people reckon the start and finish times will be?.Cheers.

Mate, I tried gettng back to Euston after one of the Brixton shows in 2001. Spent the night kicking my heels in the freezing bloody cold after missing the train by about 2 minutes.

Good luck!

Mr & Mrs Manic will be there !

You should be OK - Euston-Wolverhampton run through the night don't they? Gotta stay over for Manc - the only train I could catch would take 4 hours - changing twice. Tis not the other side of the world Mr Virgin Trains!

National Express everybody!

Yep, the bastards boot you out after the last train (about 1.40 to Milton Keynes, I think), and then you don't get back in until about 5am. Even if you have a valid ticket for the next day. I've done it too many times, and don't wanna have to do it again!

There's Northampton-Euston and reverse about every half an hour? That any use?

Oops forgot. £18.60 return. Forget National Express. There's no bar for a start.........:)

Hello - I'm really pleased that proper New Order fans have been buying the tickets up before the internet touts get their grubby mitts on them. I only signed up as a member today as I saw the date go on www.seetickets.com and thought it would be best to post this asap. It looks like there will be only the one date at Brixton and Manchester, but I've been wondering today since buying my Brixton tickets where they might play on Sat 12th Nov? Think about it, night on, night off etc etc. Reckon it could be either Birmingham or Glasgow. Whoever sees anything first please post on this message board so I can see it!!!!! Will be posting more stuff on here - you all seem like a very friendly bunch and, as a New Order fan of over twenty years (I first saw them at Hammersmith Palais in Nov 1985, what a gig!) this makes me very happy.

Here's hoping they play some tracks that they haven't played for a long while and not the same-ish sets that they have been doing over the last few years. Would be good to hear them do 'The Perfect Kiss', 'Sunrise', 'Face Up', 'Guilty Partner', '586', 'Paradise', the list is almost endless!

Wino wrote: There's Northampton-Euston and reverse about every half an hour? That any use?

yeah but i would have to pay to get back to Rugby from Northampton.I can get a train to Rugby from Euston at 23.40 and then the next (and last) one is about 1.30 am but it doesn`t get to Rugby till 6.15am or something ridiculous.Could always grab a couple a few hours kip on that though, as i have work at 8.30am

edit: oh ,the Euston -Northampton tip was directed at Shug,sorry.

Nice one Shug - always use the Canterbury before Academy gigs, so see you in there!

I will be annoyed but still delighted if they announce a Birmingham gig.Now ive gone and bought a Brixton Ticket.Doubt theyll play the Midlands though.The NO fanbase would make the trip but can't imagine many locals attending.I'm a rare fan in this part of the country.

This is definitely directed to you! If they play Brum, I won't need a train ticket!!!! Yippee. Not going to be around much next few days, so someone shout - very loud - if they hear anything! By the way, know what you mean. New Who?

Oh, just a fasttrack Windows Server 2003 course (which I know already, but hopefully I'll learn something extra and get off my a*se and take the two upgrade MCSE exams - not that it's worth anything nowadays, apart from on a CV)! :p

As for getting back to Euston in time, the Victoria line takes me directly from Brixton to Euston (so no need for taxi), so if I'm out just before 11pm, then I should make the 11:40pm train. Also, single train tickets (if booked ahead - which I've just done!), are about 12 quid each way. The expensive bit is going to be the taxi from Coventry to Hinckley - between 20-25 quid...

So, it's doable - probably get to Brixton in time for 8pm'ish, and will have to leave the gig just before 11pm!

NEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW OOOOOORRRRRRRRRRDAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Managed to get 4 tix. MASSIVE SHOUT OUT to Mr J Giles. Cheers again pal for the heads up. Me, Jeff the Chef, Old Monkey and Stubley all got ........STANDING! I couldn't go to Manc land.....too exxy

ah. i feel much better now....

:bag:

I'm deffo not leaving before the end of the gig.Not gonna miss the encore or anything.I've done that before and i always ,always regret it.

Very impressive. Am I the only person on this site who actually works for a living? (Leaving room now..........)

Nah, you're not the only one who works! :)

Normally, I'd either be working from home (Hertfordshire), or in Southend/Stevenage/Telford (wherever work needs me). With regards to Manchester, I've had to take the last two remaining holiday days off to make that trip, but with London, I can't really miss time off from a training course, hence the hectic travel arrangements!

If only I was working from home that day, then getting to and from London would be piss easy...

Wino wrote: Very impressive. Am I the only person on this site who actually works for a living? (Leaving room now..........)

It often seems like that to me, too.But i do work if it's any consolation.I just happened to be off sick with a stiff neck today!.But i have to work the day of the Birixton gig and the day after.So it's gonna be tight.

Cheers Rocketrob,I Would not have known about this if you had not posted.

Shouldn't be a problem leaving early if he encore is BLUE MONDAY

Stiff neck? Could be your age????? Try some deep heat. Or massage. But obviously, be careful of the obvious with the latter, or you could end up with more than a bad neck!

Tickets bought. Thanks for the info. I'm really looking forward to this one after the Peel gig - which was (literally) a riot!!!

yes, it is my age and i do some forklift stuff at work which doesn`t help.Deep heat should not be applied to the neck i know.got some ant inflammotry pills from the doc today.anyway , enough of that. I'M GOING MOSHING AT BRIXTON IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS!!!!:D

Just arriving from Italy! It's my first no gig!!! To emotioned to describe...

Yeah, fair play fella - must admit that at first I thought it was one of the regulars posting incognito. I really cannot afford this.....but if I hadn't quit me poxy job then I wouldn't be making either the Apollo or Brixton. So every cloud and all that!!

NO x2! This is fantastic! Big thanks to those on this site who gave the info for these gigs as well

I'm hoping there's another gig or gigs in the works; whether or not I'll go depends on the finances. But then I might as well push the boat out a bit, won't be too long before I'll be sat in fookin' freezing Michigan again...

Well, I won't be going to this although I would love to.

Got to think of a bloody good excuse to skive off work for the Manc gig!

hibster will be there.

does anyone know if you can take cameras in to the academy these days? want to take the zoooom!

I'd like to bring my camera but i fear it will get smashed in the mosh pit mayhem.

Gonna take my camera phone but that could get bashed as well.

I am gutted , booked the monday Aft and Tuesday all day for the Manc Gig and thats hols all gone. Would look a bit suspicious coming over all sick a couple of days before a hol. Bugger, bugger (repeat to fade)

It's only two weeks to go!!!

I wouldn't advise taking too much into the gigs - the ticket site for the venue says that because of the 'current security situation' please do not bring bags, etc. Any bags brought in will be thoroughly searched and 'inappropriate items' confiscated.

If you want to bring a camera, make it a disposable one and get right up at the front...

Trouble is, disposables don't have the magical mystical extending lens that Hibster's camera has which allows him to take such ceaselessly great shots. He's doing kevin Cummins job now - I think the band and their management should be paying him, personally.....when NO knock it on the head, it's going to be people like Hibster (and Nic's website) who are keeping a unique visual record of their last hurrah. And we should all be grateful.

the main problem being if i don't go to work I don't get paid and that week is the week I have to pay my school fees and my boss would know instantly why i skived off, even if i did the best faked illness ever, cos he knows about my new order habit. however, I've got the apollo to console myself with.

well said

There was a shooting there earlier this year mid gig so I would imagine that ssecurity will be tight. Any journos here with a chance of getting a press pass?

I got mine via Stargreen Box Office (London) for £39.50 each. Hopefully you've got someone down here to just pop in and reserve yours.....they were still available yesterday. fingers crossed

the same thing happened to us when we were up in Manc for the Cure, 2004. We crashed at the new floors of Piccadilly St. Was nice n cold.

btw, if you've got no one in London, you're more than welcome to stay over at our place. (NO EROTIC CABARET!) This refers to EVERYONE who'd like to continue the (sleepless) Manc night in London!

Lucky guys over there. I wish they'd come back over here. Haven't seen them since the Regret tour

Bloody hell. You've got to check on here everyday, ain't you! Two days off work, away from the net and they announce another gig!

Thankfully just got the home net connection fixed. Was chuffed that NTL did that for free, and then the first thing I have to do is fork £43 over to TicketbastardMaster. :\ohwell:

See you in Brixton, Boys and Girls :beer2:

Oh, yeah, and guess what?

Yep, Nov 10th is an evening shift at work

cough! cough! sneeze!

Nice one Jim.

It was like a silver lining when our lass phoned us and asked what i was up to on the 10th. I nearly leapt 10 ft in the air. Not able to make Manc, so this was a god send. The boys must have been listening to my prayers.

Amen

Thinking of flying over from Holland for this gig...have to see them at least once in my live. Any chance of hooking up with some of u peeps for a beer or two during the day/evening and after? never met u lot in person so should be cool to some faces behind the messages..

Oh yeah, what's a good, fair priced hotel in London for a few days? anybody knows one???

Martijn

I don't think there is such a thing as a cheap hotel in London.I live in Bournemouth and the hotels here are around £50 per night.So I guess London is around £70+ I will say though that it will be worth you coming over because they are Brilliant live.

Yup. I paid the same. Cheap as chips. And I did just wet myself

Haha!!!

Don't want to sound like a northerner, but £40+ is taking the piss isn't it? Especially as it'll be the same set doing the rounds this summer.

Just got tickets!

First NO gig...

Just need to get the day off now...

Not at all. It was excitement, not the cost of the tickets. My first NO gig too

I got a standing ticket for Brixton. Cheers to Liam for the text the other day letting me know about this one

I'm glad this gig came up because I can't do Manchester on the 14th anymore. I'm gutted but definitely can't get the time off work that day, much as i've tried.

I'll just have to make the most of the 10th

I got my tickets!!! New Order for the very first time!!!

I've shopped around a bit and can get a penthouse apartment for £85! - ended up in a very run of the mill box in London that was £100! Great deals in Manchester at the moment - take an hour or so to have a look - Virgin trains website have some great offers - they're offering rooms at half the price the actual hotels are!!!! I am going in style this time! Albeit for 1 hour prior, few hours sleep, and 1 hour after waking up -.... sod it! Company credit card anyway.

Terrible cold you're going down with, Julie!

I know! SO bad, i think i'm catching it as well.

Say again..... my cold's affecting my right ear, got an infection I think:dead:

Hi everybody!

Coming over from Ireland for the gig. Was just wondering if anybody knows of any hostels around the Brixton area? I've done a google search, and unfortunately accommodation seems to be very erm....unavailable in that part of London. Don't want to have to travel too far back to hotel/hostel at the end of the night (which is what usually happens!)

Any news on support act for this gig yet? Who played support for Manchester gig?

I'm all questions! :)

More important than anything is do we hear Turn live for the first time and EGG??

Yes I have my tickets

Try looking on http://www.hostelbookers.com/ they have a place in victoria which is only a short tube ride away.

Cheers. I'll check it out. I have no idea of the geography of London town at all. Last time I was there (for a New Order gig!), I ended up staying miles away from where it was on...

So, this is really good news!!! I couldn't get tickets for Manc, sold out came too soon, and i was beginning to think that NO and I didn't fit, or sth like that.

It's good to be back at NOOL too, after too many months without time to log in.

who cares hw much tickets r jus sell yr soul and go

That's unfortunately not an option this time Tim. I reckon it would be a bit too obvious considering i've already asked outright for annual leave for that day. I thought I would be able to sweetheart my manager in to giving me the time off but it wasn't to be :(

Lucky for me they're doing Brixton too

cheapish hotels at www.laterooms.com

What time do bands usually finish at the Academy?.I've been to one gig there but that was the midnight show Kraftwerk did in March 04.

I'll never want to thank our Ken! You all better sort Barney Army out - sod Ken.

Basically, if you're living or staying in London, you should get home easily.

Also, thanks to Ken Livingstone, 'night buses' run every half hour all around the city. They may take a while, but you could even leave a late club at 3 or 4am and get back to your digs or a station of choice for £1.20 (per bus ride) at any time.

Hope that helps.

thanks very much, Chris.yeah i'm one of those people who has to catch a tube back to Euston for a train home at 11.40 pm.so an 11pm finish might give me just enough time hopefully. barring any complications (drunkeness, forgetting where i am,slipped disc from the moshpit)

Not just that - the tube gets pretty chaotic after Academy gigs - I didn't make back for my 11.45 train last time I tried.

Pray they start Blue Monday at 10.50 so you know it's all over and you can just fuck off!

i can actually get a later (last) train at 1.30AM i think.but it doesn't get me home til about 6.30 AM!.possibly have to change at Milton Keynes and wait a few hours.and i have work at 8.30.awww fuck it ! whatever happens will happen!!.... might just ahve to be a sicky.trouble is i had two days sick this week.

I was trying to resist the temptation, but fook it eh, you only live once so I booked tickets, flights and accommodation for another London gig. See you all there!

Yeah, that's do-able - last train to Milton Keynes is at about 1.30-1.40, and the staff there are usually pretty understanding (ie - they'll unlock the waiting room doors so you can stay warm/grab some kip).

Again, good luck (and say 'hello' in the pub beforehand!)

what time did they start? 1044?

Does anyone know why its £40 for the gig? When most bands charge £15-£20?

The truth is a lot of us are still in a state of vague shock that they're still about. Having given up on ever seeing them again in about 1994 the current state of affairs is just, well, wonderful.

I'm obviously feeling sentimental today.....

I'll be thankful theyre not charging £100 then.

I'm sure if tickets were £100 then alot of us would still be going. (Though we'de expect something special for our money!!AGE OF CONSENT at least!!)

Please can any Southern boy or girl tell me how long it will take me to get from Euston to Brixton.

No more than half an hour on the Victoria line.

Hmmmm... I'm thinking £35 is a tenner more than i expected, not that it matters too much, 'cos we'd all pay double. You could have bought a day ticket at the Wireless Festival for about the same.

Here's hoping that for the extra tenner we get a class support act, or a double set.

this is awesome-tho I will state my complete jealousy at your great fortune. One day the lads will cpme round my way!!!

Jake Dudek wrote: Please can any Southern boy or girl tell me how long it will take me to get from Euston to Brixton.

Yup, about half an hour, but to be on the safe side (and I will need to be at Euston to catch the 11:40pm train), I'm going to have to leave the Academy round about 10:50pm to be on the safe side, otherwise it might take you about 10 minutes just to get outside, another 5 minutes+ to walk to the tube station, possibly another 5+ minutes to wait for the train to leave the station (more if the first tubes are full - remember that Brixton can accommodate up to 4,500 people - most of whom go back on tubes)... And, of course, the time it takes to get from Euston tube station to the main station to try and get your train from the correct platform!!!

So, yeah, when they start playing Blue Monday, I'm going to get ready to leave - still, I'll see the whole set in Manchester 5 days later!

Amen to that.

Nick, if you leave before the crowds, you can run from The Acadamy to Brixton platform in under 5 mins. There's a 'First Train departing' sign at the bottom of the escalator so you get the right platform for the first tube out. Victoria Line running time is about 3 mins per station, so 25 mins to Euston.

Euston is a bit of a rabbit warren with about three escalators up to the mainline.

If you've got 40 mins and the tube runs ok, you'll be fine.

Not even sold out yet - come on all buy those tickets!!

Hi everybody...

I need some help please....I´d like to know if there is a way of getting the tickets in London, I mean not by delivering. I´m going to london on wednesday 2th so I won´t be at home (spain).... It´ll be my first gig of NO and I´m very excited about that, I can´t miss it...if anyone can help :D thanx

ring up whoever you bought them off and get them to leave them at the box office for you to pick up.

oldmonkey wrote: No more than half an hour on the Victoria line.

Cheers which is the best stop to get off for the Caterbury ?Is it close to the venue ?

Less than 5 mins walk. Get off at Brixton tube, head right out of the station, under the railway bridge etc.

Map below.

Got my ticket, but there is a good chance I will be going on my own!!!!!!!

Let us know what time you are arriving and we'll organise a Viking welcome committee. Some good pubs round there!

lol, I've booked my flight but I don't have a visa nor days off work, count me as the most miserable person ever seen on boards, haha

What's new

whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! just ordered mine, cant wait til the 10th now!!!!

So where is the meet up?

I made it to the Wireless meet at the Audley back in the summer but missed you all at the Peel gig. (Had to go straight to venue from work to make NO)

So who knows of a good local boozer for a few shifty wets before the riot?

Don't reply to my last, I got it in the other forum!

Just got 4 tickets on ebay. £40 for 1 pair and £55 for other pair! Thats more like the price!

So i'll bring along my mate JJ for our third NO gig of the year. And i'll introduce 2 NO virgins to the horde! (Including my li'll bro)

See you monkeys at the Canterbury!

Shitting it a bit as i have still not got my ticket ? It's being sent to my home in Lancashire,but i am due to go away working in Somerset on Monday for three days.Will be getting the train from there to London. So i need the ticket before the weekend !!!!! :( :(

You'll be ok, my QEH tickets never did show up so I phoned them I they printed some duplicates I picked up at the venue

I havent got my tickets either. Why in gods name do they insist on delivering them during the day when i'm at work?

Greetings all. I've not been looking forward to a gig as much as this for ages. Hope to meet a few people in the Canterbury Arms etc - if we can all get in!

Cheers

and yes the point of delivering things which require a signature during the day...

Luckily, I work from home most days, and so was in when this (and the Manc) tickets arrived...

Yes, special delivery only really works when someone's in to sign for it, although it does reduce the "lost in the post" syndrome...

is there any parking around the academy? I'm thinking about driving - but cant leave work until 3 and will be making a mad dash for the gig- also I'm unable to get the next day off so will be travelling straight back -, to arrive home by 2ish ready for a 9am start. Anyone beat that?

i think its gonna be difficult, because its full of double yellows if not double reds, saying that its not all double yellows, you just have either find a sweet spot, i.e. single yellow or a car park

i get back to you on this, if i dont forget, as i regularly pass that area

Most of the parking meters are free to park near after 18:30. I've never had a problem parking in evening, even in conjestion area. Give it a shot, but get there as early as poss just in case.

alternatively, park on a double red and pick you car up from the Rozzers after the gig??? They'll look after it in a secure car park for you...

Drove to Interpol earlier this year. There is an NCP about 5 mins walk away.

Just in case anyone can't find it themsen's. Ere's where the Battlecruiser is...

Got tickets today for Brixton so thats me and Ernie Cycle putting lip to rim in the Canterbury. I only hope that after the festival appearances this summer that they realise they are playing to a captive audience who are only there to see New Order and they amend the set. I personally would like to see Jetstream dropped and Procession brought in! Failing that bring back Ceremony and YSF for an extra encore

**putting lip to rim**

ewwwww!

I'm a student, fortunately in this case, so i'm going to London from Manchester on wednesday. No news concerning the supporting band?

Bit pissed off though as it said on the web that tickets would be sent special delivery, but it came standard first class. But still, at least its here!!!!!!!!

Need to wait until my credit card payment goes through to book a room though

What's a good pre-gig pub in Brixton? Duke of Edinburgh maybe? Anyone?

I'm SO excited.

Come on Sue, read the thread! We are meeting at the Canterbury Arms. There is also another thread just about the Brixton meet up!

Already sorted for Beers and piss!

Sue said good boozer - the Canterbury only does Strongbow which is just wrong

(btw what does the beehive do? loads of people met in that one before the 2001 gigs

What greedy b*stards NO have become! £35 plus booking fee for a ticket! what a rip off! Well it looks like they are going to have egg on their faces as it's looking like it's not going to sell out-serves them right, around £20 would have been reasonable!

Then you can't be a NO fan.

I think that the majority of NO fans are pleased that NO are still gigging, and are willing to pay that amount to see them.

The only gripe I have is the short notice of the gig, for getting time off work etc. I have to get from Portsmouth to London by 7:00/7:30 (finishing work @ 5:00), and I have to be at work for 8:30 the next day as I have a class to prepare.

But that hasn't stopped me, and neither has the price, so really, if you are that concerned, don't go!

Stephen D wrote: What greedy b*stards NO have become!

How do you know? They're also so lazy that they use a promotor to organise + promote the gigs, & I'd be surprised if their fee is a percentage of the door take these days. If they were offered a percentage of the bar takings however...

I am a total NO fan-have been for about 18 years. I am sure I am not the only one who is thinking the ticket price is very high-I can't be the only one as with 4 days to go there are still plenty of tickes available from all the major ticket outlets. If most NO order fans are happy to pay the price then it would of sold out, simple as that. Not everyone is on fantastic wages and can afford £40 just for a ticket-If you are on an average wage or below average wage it's alot of money...

Hello!

I have a spare ticket for this gig if anyone wants to buy it off of me. I cant seem to get anyone else to go to this and I bought 2 (I shouldnt have now looking back). If you want the ticket, you can email at:

Nutcaseyuk@hotmail.com

I'm open to offers for the ticket by the way so give me an email!

Cheers!

HOORAH!!!! Just got 2 tickets for Brixton off Ebay for £7.50! Yes £7.50 for TWO tickets!! COME ON!!

"How can I ever forget you"

I'll give you a tenner for one of them Nutcasey..

Cool. I was a little worried. But I suppose if the tickets dont come you just report the seller to ebay.

there are loads of tickets available on eBay for this supposedly sold-out concert going for virtually nothing!

Milkshock wrote: there are loads of tickets available on eBay for this supposedly sold-out concert going for virtually nothing!

Sold Out? Where did you hear that disinformation?

Does anyone actually know how many tickets have actually been sold? I mean, if they're 500 short of a sell-out it's no biggie, but it'll be a bit embarrassing if the place is half empty. Presumably the London press will have plenty of ads for the show over the next 48 hours???

NO Regret wrote:

eBay ads indicate it. But OK then they are lying, it's not sold out. It's still a sad state of affairs if they can't sell out their sole London gig this year.

According to the Carling Academy website the stage time is 21.15-23.00. What time we leaving The Cantebury Arms then? About 21.00 probably. :D Should give us time to get to the front just as the Vikings theme begins.

If anyones after a pair of tickets for Thurs let me know. Me and a mate are going but the other 2 backed out today! I'll listen to offers and can exchange outside Academy or a local pub.m.ingamells@btopenworld.com

whos getting to the pub first and what time

do you reckon they will be doing much the same setlist as back in the summer or might they try something different?

perhaps ther might do some more jd songs

Yes, maybe. I think it would be good if they dropped some of the usual ones like BFM and BLT and did summat else for a change. But I haven't got a ticket yet so I may not be there anyway!

Yes, yes, I know I should but I have no mates who want to go to this one and I hate turning up on my own...:(

southern softy...

i'm turning up on my own ,in the Canterbury, which is where everyone is meeting.it's hard when you first walk in but then it's fine!

Ticket prices are TOO expensive : they were about £23 for Brixton in 2001, and managed to sell three nights, and £20 for the Apollo in 1998 - the last time they charged £38 was for an allnighter on New Years Eve with Underworld and The Chem Brox., whereas £38 for a one-act gig on a Thursday (esp. when they had trouble shifting tickets for Hyde Park earlier in the year) is ambitious. Good as they are, there are VERY few bands - maybe five in the world - I would pay over £30 to see.

Besides which every band and their dog play London and MAnchester, if they played some less popular stops (Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff) they might sell a lot more tickets. And if they gave us more than 2 weeks notice.

OK have just seen the meet up string. If I get myself a ticket I might see you there!

Well 'Del' if you do fancy going I have one spare standing ticket for sale for £30 o.n.o.! (overestimated my mates' dedication...) Or indeed if anyone else fancies it email me or reply... cheers!

Hi all!

I'm new here and never seen NO live before. I too was very surprised with the price of the gig. I can deal with short notice, but the price is way too high!

Anybody knows who is supporting the band tomorrow? Whats the best pub to go before the gig?

The reson I ask is 'cos my mate won't make it (stupid flu) so i am now on my own. Like some of you said, it is not that nice to be alone on the gig.

Oh, if anyone want my mate's ticket, i can give it away for £25 on the night! :-) just mail me. (santimensork "at" hotmail...)

Here are the young men

Hi all first post here

Bit of a long shot but I have two circle unreserved seating tickets that i'm trying to swap for two standing tickets

Let me know if anyone can help - looking forward to the gig - not seen them since finsbury park

email me at duncan_parks at hotmail dot com

thanks

For anyone who wants a cheap ticket, go to ebay today for delivery tomorrow. I bought 4 for total of £36 (including delivery). Thats £9 a ticket!!!!

hello everyone, im yet another new one, been looking at this place for a very very long time though!! well i got hold of a couple of tickets on ebay for about a tenner including postage, and ive been wondering about this situation because i thought it would be a nightmare to get hold of one from anywhere. i realise there has been little or no promotion, but im still baffled as to what the capacity will be like tomorrow. mind you i don't care. it's the lads after all!!!

i think pretty much every ticket agency has tickets left except the one that links from the academy's website, lots on ebay as well

not sure what that means but god knows what happened to the promotion, no-one i've spoken to had any idea it was on

still, i wouldn't really care if it was just me in there (although not sure the band would feel the same way)

yeah i'm going on my own as well

what time is everyone getting to the boozer

just phoned the venue and they said about cameras, especially digital ones, that you may be able to take it in, but thats dependable on the day, i.e. you might be able to take it in or you might not be able depends, if you do take camera and they take it from you, you will be able to retrieve it, albeit, best to leave it in your car, if your going to the event by car. about parking highly advisable not to park on main streets (double red lines), there is a car park for the town, sign posted, though i havent really seen it or do not know if it will be open for the duration of the concert. there are single yellow lines there but not in abundance as double yellows and double reds and resident parking, though resident parking is time limited for the working hours, they shouldnt be a problem 8.30 to 5.30, does that mean you are safe to park without getting a ticket or clamped? i think it is, but let me know if your a traffic warden and know the biz

Is Tonight's gig online anywhere?

Good news and bad news situation - just as I am getting into my car to drive to London for the gig- my wife phones to tell me that my sister in law has gone into labour - several weeks early. I am now sitting here typing this with a ticket in front of me but with the bonus of a beautiful new niece!

Here's hoping that Monday night blows the socks off Brixton!!!!

Got the same text from Don. Looks like a fcuking great gig!

Just got home, superb gig. Debut of Turn was sensational, and Ceremony, YSF, Tempation and Shadowplay rocked the house to the core . Great to see all the NOOL'ers at the Canterbury too. Off to bed now coz I'm too old for this stuff!

Ceremony was a classic, absolutely awesome. If that wasn't sold out then it was pretty close. The whole place was throbbing by the time we got Temptation. Good to see the massive Stoke City flag make an appearance.

mmm quite liked 31g, even though i have never heard it before live or recorded til now, nice gig NEW ORDER NEW ORDER NEW ORDER NEW ORDER

just looked at my photos, some of them have come out real gems, the rest of course, as usual are out of focus

obviously there was a late rush to see the boys, because the place was as near as sold out.

this was a much better gig than the last time they played brixton . turn was unexpected, and very welcome;)

I was the 19 year old kid with the long curly hair completely out of place right down in the thick of it.. to any of those wondering who the fuck that was. And whoever the hell picked up me up after I fell over, cheers!

I can say I at least saw one person with a NOOnline shirt, although it was on the tube back home..

fucking soaked. (my first gig. determined to get my money's worth)

EGG was one that the VIKINGS told me about,NoT being there but being with my son who i HAVE NOT SEEN in 3 years,i too have had a GREAT night. ONLY 7 pints though cos i am WORKING in the morning,SEE you HARDCORE Monday though. OH I'VE GOT RED EYES :D

great night great setlist barney was top class nice to meet everyone and why oh why do I have to get up at 630 in the morning????

i dont

AAARRGGGHHH!!!!

yeh, just in - top night - stands up alongside some of the best UK imdoor gigs from the 80s - everyone hoped, but no one expected them to open with Ceremony - roll on Monday!

Once again, sterling effort with the pins Al...

yes, nice pins, Al

Was it me by any chance? I had my blue true faith T-Shirt on over my black jumper.

WHAT A GIG!!!!!

for a minute there I thought they were going to play all the singles in order like they did in '87, but no such luck. Absolutely brilliant show (and a fine set list). However I did think "Shadowplay" was a muddle (Barney's vocals just don't do justice to the song), "Turn" sounds like "Close Range" did (i.e. it needs a bit of tweaking to perfect), and was that facial hair I saw on Phil? Nice to see a couple of Synth lines from TPK in "Blue Monday" as well and Phil not playing widdly woo guitar all over it.

Just back in Derby - Ace night, even found a 24hour Tesco on the way home

I like phil playin his guitar like a muppet on the end of BM, the village idiot doesn;t bother any more so someone has to.

Bettter than sex!. And was that Gillian again?.

Mosh pit was mental as ever.Top laugh.Nearly lost me trainers !.Ceremony ,YSF , Warsaw were some of the highlights for me.Everyone seemed to be standing still for Shadowplay.Thought it was a bit messy.Turn was pretty good.

Top gig

i can't bear to read this, whish i'd been there and also for the next one. enjoy it everybody.

I thought it was Gilian in the wings

Gillian looked extremely well and lovely from where i was standing.

Corby Order home safe and sound. What a great gig. Ceremony made a very welcome return, much to the delight of the Vikings. Love Vigilantes, Crystal and Regret quickly followed capping an awesome opening to the set. An added bonus was the debut of Turn. KW1, LWTUA and Temptation were other highlights. Then we had the encore which featured Joy Division songs only (got to be a first) - Shadowplay, Warsaw and She's Lost Control which got the audience vote ahead of Atmosphere (which is actually on the setlist) Fantastic night once again and great to meet up with everyone in the pub beforehand. Cheers to Al and JG for the badges. Cannae wait for Monday. Nu Ordah

Check out Johnny's pics. Certainly looks like it.

Yup, me too like Ronald wish I'd been there. Anyways, I'd just like to point out that Uncle Liam and Biggy didn't get properly pissed, obviously I mean, knowing the set list almost perfectly right after the gig - Cheers for thinking of me left out in the cold, lol

i have been to the same venue, when they were doing the Aids International Day thingy, but thought last night was better by mile, shame they never played Dreams Never End also

Cracking night, great to meet up with everyone before the gig, then a fabulous performance. Pity that Shadowplay had that big clunking sound like their versions of Digital did, but it's nice to hear it all the same.

Looks like i'm the only one who didn't like the encore I think they could of thrown in TPK or something, I went to see New Order and got 5 JD songs, and i'm no big fan of JD

Fantastic night - roll on Monday! :)

Ceremony was an absolute treat - wonderful way to start a gig.

Couldn't really dance that much as was squashed at the front, but really enjoyed the gig... Now feeling knackered as back in Hinckley for the training course (but not really taking much in)...

See ya all on Monday!

Spotnick wrote: I'm not sure anybody answered this yet... was the place packed?

Yeah it was packed. I was expecting the place to be half empty. Touts were selling tickets for a tenner and I couldnt sell my spare one.

It was a cracking performance. I take back every negative comment Ive ever posted about the band. It was the best gig Ive been to in my life!! Hooky was strutting his stuff and in his element. Barney was singing in key and enjoying himself. Good banter bewtween the band. A blinding set and it was nice to hear Turn, leave out Jetstream and play JD songs at end.

My only downer was missing YSF for a pit stop.

What a fantastic gig!

Pity I didn't make it to the meet-up beforehand but the traffic was crap and I only just made it in time...

Ceremony! Fantastic...

the only downside was that it is becoming increasingly clear that stone-cold classics like round and round, the perfect kiss, vanishing point and mr.disco are being consigned to the rubbish bin for ever due to the need to satisfy phil's guitar wankery.

Loved every single minute of it. Could not stop dancing and I was having the encore. Could not stop smiling. A massive thank you to Max for making it all real. Cheers brother.

Highlights: Ceremony, Love Vigilantes, Sirens', Temptation was blissed out and well fuckin' large. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.

"vikings" "vikings" "vikings"

My twopenneth on an absolutely superb night. Amazing set, thought they were on top form

Extra bits:

• Bernard's salsa dancing moves in Blue Monday, definitely a bit of cha-cha-cha, reckon he has been going to local classes. His dancing was so eratic he kept loosing his pack. Amusing lyric-meaning-action moves in True Faith, very 60's TOTP!
• Being squashed up against the barrier and looking back to see a sea of familiar faces, better to be 'sardined' with people you know
• Hooky is more audience arousing than ever, milking it for all it's worth!
• Finally catching Hooky's drumstick after many attempts
• Us all shouting Steven constantly between songs until he finally looked over and acknowledged us.

Hi.... I found a viking pin in my pocket this morning and remembered a guy giving it to last night when I was in the thick of the pit... Just curious to what it is?

I want a viking pin

Shadowplay is one of my favourite songs, but I thought it felt a little flat.. fuck, I was right in the 'mosh pit' (lol, I hate to call it that, we're not exactly slipknot fans here) and at points I could barely follow along with the lyrics, the melody was pretty distorted.

That said, Warsaw I was more than glad to hear. Come on, they're playing an unusual song from their back catalogue for once, you've got to try and support it! (next, all we need is TPK and SUNRISE.)
