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???

Sold Out? Where did you hear that disinformation?
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

Aaaaaaaaargggggghhhhhhhh
i want to get pissed and i want to get to the front without too much trouble
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?
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...:(

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.
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!

You have mail, Jonny. And yes I really am posting at 630 am aargghhh!!!
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)
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

I'm meeting one of the other girls from here before hand and we're going along together. If you're not sure about going in to the pub on your own, you're more than welcome to meet up with us. You would need to email me tonight and I would give you my mobile number because I won't be online at all tomorrow :)

I will be meeting up with Sweetness who is travelling down from Manchester, so does that mean there will be at least four laydees in the midst of all of the blokes?

We'll be a bit outnumbered by blokes but i'm sure we'll cope with that
