Ugh, sorry to hear that everybody is having so much trouble with this. :( Web sales suck in my opinion-- they still charge you all of the handling fees and crap, but you don't have a live person on the other end who can put a hold on your seats while you finish the purchase.

Im also at a loss to why the small venues.
I actually love the fact it's the small venues. It's special. Imho, Wolverhampton Civic 2006 was a much better gig than Wembley same year.
Gigantic tickets went on sale early, I assume all these agencies get a set amount so not sure why they did this? Must of known they would of sold out anyhow??

Do you think?
I'd have said Wembley was the standout gig on that tour cos of the leftfield setlist.
OK, so I just got in touch with my husband and he also got two tickets (we set it up to make sure we got tickets after the Brussels fiasco). I have two for standing, and he has two for Block B Row R. I can't find Row R on the seating plan?
I'd like to keep the best tickets, which I assume would be standing, but seeing as it is a small venue, I wouldn't mind sitting in a GOOD place as I'm old, lol. We have some friends here who want to go, but we get first choice on the tickets.
WT H is Row R?

I really hope so. Im also at a loss to why the small venues. I know when they played Brixton Academy in 2005, you couldnt give the tickets away (seriously i tried!) but a medium sized venue would have been better.
Maybe they just misjudged the market for themselves spectacularly. When they were playing as BL they struggled to sell in tiny venues so perhaps they had no idea what the demand for tickets would be like as NO.

It's a statment of intent from them, innit.
Make it more of an 'event', build up a bit of the 'mystique' that JG and Ally were harping on about last week.
You can see why they've done it really. There's a lot more kudos in selling out a tiny leftfield venue and creating a 'buzz' than just doing a run of nights at Brixton Academy again (yawn).
Still a pain in the arse so many people don't appear to have tickets though.

Can't argue with that, re setlist. But I prefer smaller venues.

Oh, I dunno, I think they should play Leftfield's "Dusted"... I'd love to see Barney tackling Roots Manuva's vocal style from that track :D

I've got 2 standing tickets... Well stressful though. At first I had 4 but then it timed out. Then all tickets were sold out but I kept refreshing the page and eventually standing tickets were available... Weird...

Snap! Brussels and Paris bled me dry... [almost literally!]
Never mind. The Drums play the Junction the week before New Order Play Troxy. And only £13.50 a pop.
First post here...
Finally managed to get 2 standing tickets after frantically refreshing the Troxy site for like 4/5 minutes from 9am - there was nothing available - seats or standing.
As someone else mentioned, the standing tickets then became available. I'd been trying to get seats as I'm dragging the wife along, but now more than happy with standing!
Very saddened to hear what prices these are being sold at by the resellers, especially when long-term fans have been unable to get them at the official sites.
