Morrissey's 50th Birthday Party - want to come?

[Tank Girl]

Magic Sam tried to get tickets for us but the standing tickets were gone by the time he'd put the card details in (because he's a bit slow bless him). I didn't want seated or gallery so no moz for me unless he announces more london dates.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[Tank Girl]

.... yeah, right over the fuckwit's face

that's a very strange thing to do to someone you don't like

Oh, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't like it. I'd store a weeks worth in a jar and lob it over him

 

[Tank Girl]

Friday 1st May OMAGH Leisure Center
Saturday 2nd May BELFAST Waterfront

i would be very careful about using see tickets if i was you. we bought tickets for nick cave and for the residents from them and their service was, frankly, shit.

we ordered nick cave tickets 3 months in advance, yet they only came 3 days before the gig and were rubbish, stuck right up the back, when a friend who bought his a few days before the gig was able to get a much better seat.

we did get the residents tickets, then See asked us to send them back for uncertain reasons (you need to call an 0871 number to speak to a clueless operator, costing £££s). we had to pay for registered post (on top of £5 booking fees) and these tickets were only sent back 2 days before the gig, which meant me having to pick them up from the sorting office on saturday morning.

Yay, looks like magic sam will be late for work.

I hope we do get salisbury tickets, it will be really handy. No travel costs, we can get trolleyed and stay at my mates in fordingbridge. Might even splash out on a B&B if I ever get my payrise. By the time we get it they'll probably owe me a years worth.

I'm so fucking excited. Surely Salisbury won't sell out as quick.

I've used See loads and never had a problem. The only time there was an issue was when I bought Scissor Sisters tickets off Ebay (just above cost price and we were desperate). See refused to send them to the buyer (knew he was selling them on) so he had to drive down from Leamington Spa to collect them and give them to me. I even made him refund my postage.
It cost him a fortune once he'd paid petrol.

 

[Tank Girl]

I only linked to see, because ticketmaster hasn't got them listed yet.

a few people on the morrissey forum have had problems with see this time round. getting confirmation emails and then a few days later having them cancelled

Really, that's rubbish. Maybe I'll try ticketmaster then.

[William of Walworth]

Only just caught up with this ...

the tour now has these dates added.

Stirling Albert Hall (May 4)
Dundee Caird Hall (5)
Glasgow Barrowland (7)
Liverpool Empire (10)
Birmingham Symphony Hall (13)

Salisbury City Hall (25)
London Mile End Troxy Ballroom (26)
London Brixton 02 Academy (28)

That's the full UK tour now isn't it Tanks?

I don't think Morrissey likes the Welsh, there's neither Cardiff nor even Bristol

And the Academy gig clashes with something else for us I'm nearly sure ...

Any chance of him getting to Glastonbury do you reckon? He hasn't been since 2004 ... <hopeful>

I'm on for salisbury too and I'm also all excited!!!!!

I've always used See with no probs at all

 

[Tank Girl]

if you're not registered on ticketmaster already, I would recommend you do, you'll save time and hopefully get tickets. I've read a lot of reports where people had got there in time to bag tickets, but by the time they'd filled out their info and card, the tickets had been sold on. ticketmaster only hold your ticket for 2 minutes, and a lot of people said it took about 5 minutes to do the reg. also remember you might have shaky hands

 

[felixthecat]

THis is going to be my birthday pressie - seeing as I share my birthday with Morrissey it's quite fitting

 

[Looby]

You too.

We've registered with Ticketmaster but they aren't showing the Salisbury date so we might have to stick with See after all.

 

[dodgepot]

it's not unusual for ticketmaster not to have all dates listed until the evening before or even the morning the tickets go on sale.

Thanks dodgers, will keep checking then.

 

[Looby]

Wooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Tickets reserved thanks in part to Orange but mostly to the lovely Tanky who tipped me off.

<does starjump>

 

[dodgepot]

got ours reserved too

so that's the albert hall before his birthday and then brixton academy after his birthday.

he's playing in mile end, too, but that's far too far to travel from dulwich

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

you'll be moving in with him next

 

[dodgepot]

well i just got our tickets for brixton, but it was a bit of a kerfuffle. had the tickets reserved via orange, then went to buy them through the orange website and it kept coming up with a message "sorry, we cannot process your order for some reason, please phone see tickets" - so i did, and managed to book them okay, and have got an e-mail confirmation. yay!

i hate buying tickets, always stresses me out

 

[Tank Girl]

whoo hoo!!!

I'm stressed and didn't even try to buy any tickets this morning.

The same happened here and I was a bit panicked. The girl on the phone was lovely. I told her my stupid email address and she was laughing so much she couldn't wrap up the call properly.

 

[dodgepot]

i think seetickets website was down for a while, hence why it wouldn't work through the orange site. What. A. Kerfuffle.

still - job's a good 'un.

 

[felixthecat]

Tickets bought for salisbury.

Happy days
