New Order October Tour!

dogtanian wrote: can anyone tell us where the tickets will be on sale from?

i just did a quick scout and 1: the wembley site has no mention of this at all, and comes up blank on a search and 2: none of the ticket sites i checked (see, wayahead, ticketmaster etc) had london listed, only the blackpool and wolves dates. which isn't entirely helpful...

although i would hope that i'd be going to wolves as well, because i too hate wembley, but it does have the advantage of being nearer home....

They probably won't all be listed on Ticketmaster until Friday morning, when they go on sale.

Excellent!

Although I may be in Kiwi Land by then...

If not I will defo be at the Olympia date!

Newcastle's Carling Academy is a top venue - and it's a nice size - not too big - perfect size for NO!!

The Forth's a real nice boozer about 2 mins from the venue - further up Westgate Road is Tilleys - again, good quality pub.

And there's a Burger King directly opposite the venue to soak up the booze.

Can't wait.

More NO, less JD this time, please.

Seconded!

Thanks for the info, I think this one could be the gig date for me. What about the airport? is it easy to get to the venue?

Yep wembley defo sucks but has to be done.

I also fancy the legendary wolves civic.

Mrs manic is showing some signs on NO gig apathy as we are doing Barca but Im sure she will come round nearer the time.

Looking forward to some viking style shinagigans and interesting Fancy gig atire.

Ladies and Gentlemen, bow down to the London Order.

Hmmmm, a gig in what is widely regarded by many (including your good self) as one of the worst venues they've ever played????

Perhaps they're taking the piss out of the the so-called London Order??!!??

Can see a little family break in freezing October Blackpool, timed to coincide with this one... Send the lovely Mrs BRF and kids to the pleasure beach while I'm Empress Ballroomin it.Reeeesult!:D

yes the lights are on until november.b&b's are dirt cheap,drinks are cheap.jumping in the sea isnt advisable at that time of year though :D

It's not advisable ANY time of year. In the 80's i jumped in in white leggings. Even bleach couldn't bring them round, and i'm sure i had a ReadyBrek glow for a week!

Excited and down-hearted at the same time.

They would have to go and do a tour in the autumn semester, my busiest at work. I may not be able to do any that are mid-week, :\ohwell: will save a few pennies I suppose!

Wow, white leggings, there's a throwback.

Mind, at least you've got the legs for it, stumpy trotters like mine are more flattered by darker and thicker materials!

Is it named Blackpool after the Irish sea there like Jem? White leggins? So we are talking late 80's early nineties,or are you a cast member of that Ballet show they stage there every year,on ice?

Maybe in the 80's, wouldn't risk them now!!

I don't know why New Order always pick midweek dates. The Apollo was on a Monday, school nights are shite. They'd get a better response on a weekend cos people are doubly p*ssed.

I'm alright, they're really flexible with hols where i work but there must be loads of people on here, like you, who struggle for mid week gigs.

Newcastle International Airport is serviced by the Tyne and Wear Metro - takes about 20 mins to get into the centre of Newcastle - dead easy. The nearest Metro station is Central - and from there it's about 5 mins walk. The centre of Newcastle is really compact and very easy to get around quickly. Lots and lots of hotels in that specific area, and to reiterate, a large quota of what I'd call classy boozers.

Its handy for me. Theres a mantra at work. The parents get school holidays off, no questions asked, Liam gets gigs and festivals off, no questions asked. They know if i didnt get the holiday i'd just ring in sick anyway.

FLYBE....

Southampton Glagow 54p + taxes Southampton Newcastle &1.04 + taxes

Wonder how much the gig tickets will be ?

Newcastle will be mint, fingers crossed we get tickets.

surely you mean the worst venue anyone's ever played? wembley is like a giant aircraft hangar and with about as much atmosphere. even after its overhaul, where it's tried to go all funky, it's just the same.

the only group i've ever seen give wembley arena atmosphere was (believe it or not) take that. but that's because they're a cheesy pop band who play these hangars regularly and know how to fill them with a bloody good show. i'm afraid that "real" bands have a much harder job because it's hard to focus on just music in those places.

Email form GIGSANDTOURS says Maximo park are the support band for wembley only.

This may boost the attendance as i believe they are a current popular beat combo???????

hmm looking forward to the no seater liverpool gig. arnt seats the latest head accessories? bastards. more money. could be blackpool. should be i think. midweek working shite. been there recently for placebo and radiohead. top venue. blackpool now theres a place!

Ticketmaster NO page

I'm refreshing this on the hour! Defintely Wolves but by the sound of it, it's going to be the first to sell out. Anyone fancy a Big Top Arena ticket? Don't fancy a sit-down gig now!
