Birmingham Ballroom is the old Hummingbird/ Carling Academy? Good stuff. On a Sunday night, not a bad night. Venue is just 5 minutes walk from New Street station if it is the old Hummingbird ( saw Kraftwerk there in 91)
Chuffed i didn't shell out for the Troxy gig now

Yep been to a fair few gigs there as well as the Kraftwerk 91 one. Doves in 2002 and 2009 amongst others.
But yeah, cracking venue. More than a couple of bars if i recall, including one or two upstairs where there's the balcony:)

Unfortunately I willnae be at any of them with the wee one due on the 1st. Bastards :D
pre-sale links?
Promised the (new-ish) wife that if they ever re-formed (looked unlikely) and toured (even un-liklier) that I would take her.......
Sat at a desk in an office in Manchester, overlooking Urbis and quite fed up.
Just check NOOL to see what's what (which usually means 'What's Hooky said this time?' or creased Troxy CD cases.)
Sees the 'No VIP packages' thread on Digital Republic...
Two fisted air punch and a Cheshire Cat grin.
See you at the Apollo.

I'll be interested to see how well tickets sell for the Brixton gig after they struggled to shift apparently for the 2005 gig there.

I haven't seen any prices yet.
Presumably cheaper this time?

oooh gone and booked two weeks off then,might be away for Manc gig but gonna get Manc and Birmingham just in case.
Well , not the most inspired of venues though could still add some on like ........Portsmouth or Brighton, y know a return to there Gay disco roots with football hooligans.
Whatever, see you down the front for one at least
one day you find you get to where you ought to go
defo up for Manc (as you do) and Glasgow. (as Sat night so can get shitted).
Hoping they add extra Fri night date to Manc so can get shitted their as well. Brarvo
Al.......
Tickets for Manc £38.50 for standing !!!!!...gotta mate at SJM so he let me know (they promoting Manc and London gigs)
Shug....Welcome to my World pal , hence why you didnt see me Paris / Brussells / Troxy gigs.....its all worth it in the end....hope all is going well mate !
Missus is now getting sick of me using the excuse ' but it might be their last gig / tour etc etc'

Fuck a duck - it had better be a completely new set for that price... Or, depsite claims to the contrary, include a meet'n'greet...
Snorri xxx
Think it'll be Glasgow so no work the next day, but I'll be miffed if they add a Friday Apollo date.
Gary wrote: Ticketmaster has Brixton as £38.50 (£35 plus £3.50 charge)
Same price for Glasgow & Manchester. Happy Mondays tour tickets are £38.50, apart from Manchester where they are £48.50. Think il give the Mondays a miss. :\ohwell:
I'll be miffed if they add a Saturday night in Birmingham after i 've bought a Sunday ticket. But i'm sure that won't happen as they'll prob add a Friday night in Manchester and they'll want a night off after 2 nights in a row there. And because i don't think they'd particularly like to spend more than one night in Birmingham
Huge thumbs down on the ticket prices, but I'm gonna make sure I get to the Manchester show.

Looking at their Aussie tour schedule, they don't seem to give a shit about nights off and travelling and stuff now.
4 nights in Manc, followed by 4 nights in Brum then?
And a matinee gig on Monday afternoon for the under-12's.
Well after what Jake atkinson said t'other week about gossip im still hoping they add sheffield, Wolves n N'castle to the list (i.e. the missing days). Rather than double dates in same gaff.
Like Johnny Boy says...wtf would you wonna stay in Brum for 2 nights for.

Agreed, that's about right for top acts nowadays. I'll be going to London date. Can't wait.
mark reed wrote: considering that Bad Lieu cost about £3.75 thats quite a price...
Well, it is New Order after all...
Then again they're last tour at Brixton in 2005 was massively undersold. Badly promoted. I had spare ticket I couldn't even give away.

You can both go fuck yourselves. There's well over a million unemployed in this arsecunt of a country, including me. £40 is a small fortune.
Fuck off.
To even consider that New Order are a "top act" these days is ludicrous. Like it or not, its a nostalgia act. The last album is seven years old, and even so, no one goes to hear the likes of HNWYD or even Turn, people go to hear True Faith, Blue Monday, LWTUA etc etc.
£38.50 strikes me about right for a nostalgia act, but a top act? Please.
I'd be amazed if these dates sell out instantly. The Troxy I'll grant as a one off but multiple nights at the Apollo, and especially Brixton Academy? Like Clayhead rightly says, there's a recession on, and there's no 'legends' aura around them like there was in 05/06, and another 'comeback' tour just wont have the same appeal it had in 01/02.

Agreed on all points, although I should imagine they'll sell out reasonably sharply, even if only being bought up by people naively thinking they can still make a few quid on ebay.
As such, ebay prices will hit rock bottom just prior to the gig I should imagine.
Oh, and we're not in a recession Liam, and haven't been for two years now, though may well be back in one soon, obviously.!
Oi! Less of the Brummie bashing....
It should be remembered that the Order have performed some of their best gigs in my fine city, Tower Ballroom 83/85 and 86 spring to mind. Just hope they don't think they are playing the same place this time......as it isn't.
Brum on a Saturday night is a bit on the wild side if you know where to go....
Nuu Ordah!
I saw The Prodigy in 2009 and it cost me £25.
Nearly 40 notes is taking the piss. No VIP tickets? Hmmm.

I was at that 83 Tower Gig, It was a classic and I still listen to the Bootleg - Happy days :)
looking at the size of the birmingham venue, you have to wonder why they aren't playing other places like bristol as well
going to have to drive to birmingham now (train to london natch)
It holds just short of 3000 I think. The O2 Academy which was supposed to replace it (as the Ballroom/Hummingbird was due to be demolished but canned with the Financial crash) holds about the same - where the Mondays are playing.
Ironically the O2 Academy used to be the Dome nightclub which as I recall New Order were special guests on the opening night in 1985..not playing live though.

Maybe at those prices, everyone's supposed to feel like a VIP.

Fuck off.
that's a bit harsh
lets put it into perspective
how much does it cost to watch stoke city?
i'm sure it won't be a million miles away from the price of a new order ticket
yet a game of football can be total dog shit,your team could get hammered and you may not enjoy it one little bit
£38.50 isn't so bad
lee wrote:

You mean people have to pay 
The tickets are a rip off to see New Order, I just looked at other prices to see upcoming groups at Glasgow Academy. The Kaiser Chiefs, Stranglers, and Orbital are all at £23 - £25 for tickets. Same venue and costs , so why are New Order tickets over £10 more?

New Order are total dog shit (now) so the prices are comparable, I'll be at Brum and Manchester though, currently listening to Tower Ballroom 83

i saw hope of the states in the same venue as new order are playing that seems a bit weird to me

Ticketmaster does not seem to have the Manchester date up. Yet on the http://www.newordernow.net/ site it says ticketmaster are going to be selling tickets for the Manchester date.

Oh fuck. I was made redundant today.
If anyone has a spare, I might take you up on it, but I won't be buying any tomorrow. Blast.

Give me a shout when you know your arrangements, pre gig cocktails
Got one for Brixton, went on sale around 8:57.
Must admit best part of 50 notes is a bit steep so that will do me for now. Might decide to do Manc closer to the time if the logistics work out and a spare comes up.
EDIT: Manc is showing sold out on gigsandtours.com now?
4 tickets sorted standing - manchester
manc & london - sold out
more dates bound to be added now

MCR sold out? Really there's still some on Ticketmaster.
https://www.theticketsellers.co.uk/buy\_tickets/events/?id=10019730 tickets still available here for first Birmingham show guys - copy & paste link into browser!
From having none, I've now got 2 spare standing for Brixton. If interested get in touch - face value obviously.
Seetickets has a second Brixton date listed (3rd May), on sale at 11.30am
Plenty of Birmingham tickets around still, seemingly.
Well, Brmnghm sorted, wasn't so stressfull afterall.
Will have the same excitement tomorrow as in that tickets for the lowlands festival will go on sale. Sold out (50.000 tickets) in 2 hours last year. So, guess who will be up early in the morning tomorrow?! (not that early, sale will start at 11, but hey...)
Gutted... I've not been on line for a few days... Does anybody have any spares for Manchester? Friday preferably but obviously not fussed...
Hopefully waiting...

Try ebay in a few weeks, I can't see them selling for much more than face value.
Or Brixton, Glasgow & B'ham tickets are still available here - LINK
Well, I have an idea of how much my redundancy package will be, and have persuaded the good lady that I absolutely MUST see the second Brixton date. See you there!
The Hull Order got 3 x Man Thu no problem. 6 years wait and a week before my 40th - can't wait!

Will do... Thanx Ger Boy... I was looking at a couple of those ticket reselling sites (touts to you and me)... £55 each... Not unreasonable I guess, but for 2 tickets they were asking for another £50+ for postage and booking fees etc... How do they get away with it..? Anyway I'm gonna hold out for a bit as you said...
Hi All, I'm looking for a Glasgow ticket if anyone has a spare face value only. My recollection is though that I literally couldnt give away the spare tickets I had for the last time they played here.
Mate,
I have two spares (standing) for Friday 27th at Apollo Manchester. Bought via seetickets, but now going with mates on the Thursday so will sell at face value. Send me a PM if interested. Coincidentally me and mates are all from Chester.
Cheers,
Chris

OK mate, you have first refusal. Will reply now to the pm.

I got 2 for the first Brixton gig for me and my London-based pal at 09:01 on SeeTickets no bother. Return train tickets from sunny Doncaster procured last Friday (£19 and change), 2 days off work booked! Bring it on!
Frank Turner at Wemberlee on 14/4, then The Order on 2/5 is a pretty good couple of weeks!
Lets just hope they've decided the fans deserve a new setlist..... ;-) Troxy was excellent (especially hanging out with Dick from Dick and Dom for a bit at the upstairs bar), but they have such a rich back catalogue it would be nice to mix it up a bit sometimes.

Small amount of tickets have just been released for the Birmingham date at The Ballroom.
Click below to buy them. We are the official venue ticket outlet.
Wasn't there a nice neat list on this thread in post 1 before, or am I imagining it.... Be good to have this so we can just see what's what with one click.
Does anyone know if any other gigs are on in Aug / Sept in the UK apart from the Olympics closing gig?
Thanks; probably won't be doing that. Hopefully there's something else in England / Wales...
