A Desperate Plea From Me To Everyone

OK this is really not going to happen, but still...

Does anybody have 2 tickets for Manc Aid they can give away for free? I don't care whether its seated or standing it's just i have no money at all and need to get my best mate and his lady friend into the show. please help.

thank you

I thought your Dad was Hooky?

I would imagine that he could help you out... unless they are still reliving the Hacienda tradition of even band members having to pay on the door.

I agree with Craig.

If you can't get 'em off your Dad for free then I doubt anyone here has spares for free...

you lying twat,IM THE COOLEST EVER.

Sorry mate, I've only got the one ticket meself, and I need that to get in!

Have a word with Big Clive, that's all I can suggest.

Are you reading your e-mail?

Yeah I got your email cheers

I'll have to think about it, cos like I said I have no money

I'll let you know soon. thanks

But it's still not looking good

If you'd offer a swap for a back stage pass i'm sure someone would take you up on it.

How about tickets for one of your gigs?

Maybe you should ask for more pocket money?

I think you're right

Can't see why there should be a guest list for any charity event. Guaranteed tickets yes - but someone, not necessarily the individual, should be paying for them.

The guest list for MancAid must be huge

There won't ne one, except a paying list. Otherwise they'd make exactly zero £££.

The guest list for MancAid must be huge considering the local talent involved.

I can't see much talent, £50 rip off, however i do support the charity

That's just it but guys, whatever guests list IS available will be severely curtailed because of the number of bands playing...if you give each band 50 places, before you know it you've pissed 2-3 grand away on liggers. I'm quite sure Hooky would help our Jack out of he could, but the fact of the matter is that NO are one band among many, and they probably had to submit their guest list LONG ago (which given their Apollo daftness, probably means no guests for them at all cos they're too lazy).

Jack, maybe you and one of the techs could turf yer passes out the bog window to your mate....and stay put till he arrives to deliver them back.

Or..... "dad, can I have £100 for sweets?" no?

I'm still waiting for the band to forward me tix and air fare for their WFTSC tour. Life's tough all over.

I sorted sumthin out

:D :D :D :) :) :) :D :D :D

I didn't.

The irony of all this is that I now have a spare ticket if someone would like to make me a reasonable offer.

HAve you pulled out then?

Yep, the trains were the last straw. That and the 20 min JD set.

I wouldn't travel 17 hour round trip to watch 90 minutes of football, so 20 minutes of JD parody really ain't gonna captivate me.

LOL, ;) Sady, even a freebies wouldn't get me to this one :D (now, if you have tickets for a comfy soft sofa in a box I'll reconsider :D )

Mayhaps good sir, you should donate this to Jack? You never know wht Karma may throuw your way for such kindness.

Mr Old Monkey,

As a Manc 20 minutes away from the MEN Arena, as somebody who has a lot to be thankful for Christies (twice), and as somebody who had to enter a Granada Reports phone competition to try and get a ticket (last week), then if a free ticket is going spare then I can think of one lucky person who would be extremely happy to relieve you. Of you spare ticket. ME!

I'm still waiting to hear from Granada...

Maybe when we are all feeling a bit skint we should put up threads like "a desperate plea to pay my grocery (and wine) bill?

February rent's comin' due soon.

LOL a fair point there Mr Jarvis.

Tho the real plan is a chance for all of us to hang without the inconvenience of the greatest band on earth playing and causig the party to get all broke up :D

(and there wont be any wanky bands on either :D)

Which, in essence, is what you'll be hoping people actually do for NOOL Day though, surely?! Make a long round-trip to see NO/JD parodies? Although you and Re-order would obviously do more than the desultory 20mins.

Subtle difference being that ourselves and Re: Order take a pride in the performance, rehearse the songs and generally play them properly......

Not at all. Your words not mine!

Were it an ordinary trip up to Manchester to see the band, even if it were just 20 minutes, I'd be there like a shot. South Eastern trains cancelling all services, meaning it will take me nearly 3 hours to even get to London via a fleet of replacement buses, means that it's not viable. I have to be back in Kent for 9am Sunday morning in any case, and to be honest I'm better off just writing off the ticket cost to charity and not trying to do the improbable.

Not quite, sir. Your words were "ourselves and Re: Order take a pride in the performance, rehearse the songs and generally play them properly......"

Implying, surely, that New Order do not take a pride in their performance, do not rehearse songs, and generally don't play said songs properly.

Or did I misread something?!

You were salivating after the QEH just as much as the rest of us. And you know it!

I didn't say we were better than NO though!

The salivation was down to the bag of Nobby's Nuts consumed in the pub ;)

i hate to break it to you guys but jack is not a hook.

Well, he's Peter Hook's son, we know that. We also know that he goes by Jack Bates, having taken his mother's surname. Not sure what else you mean, but if you are insinuating that Jack is an imposter, you are wrong!
