How about Muse or Radiohead? Failing that maybe The Whisky Priests ,no, how about Sir Cliff Richard? LOL.......

It would mean so much for it to be the Trouble Pilgrims.....I can't help feeling I will be disappointed if any other support band

[PoisonDreams]

I went into my account on their website this morning and it is still showing that they have not received tickets yet.

[PoisonDreams]

Phew thanks for the help , im gonna have to give them a call though because of moving house , but im a lot less worried now

I know eBay have stopped selling concert tickets and I did the sensible thing and got mine early yet a search on their site links to various websites selling single tickets for the London shows at £100!!! A real rip off tugging at the heart strings of loyal fans. Very wrong that such corporations are making such huge profits not only from the band but from fans too! Can this practise not be stopped, it's a blatant piss take as all the different ticket companies and subsidiaries are in each other's pockets. They create a demand by bulk buying through back door tactics and then sell at huge profit once it's sold out. I've seen how the Drop Kick Murphy's on their twitter and FB accounts stop this awful practise through various security checks and ensure it's only the fans that get the tickets. Years ago I had a spare ticket through a friend dropping out, I put it on eBay for exactly it's face value, no mark up, the price on the ticket was the price you paid, sold in 3 hours to a very generous fan who collected it in person next day (you can tell a Pogues fan in an instant as soon as you start talking about mutual gigs attended) was a great feeling to help a fan like that. More should be done to cancel tickets that end up in the hands of these touts operating under the guise of official outlets. I first saw The Pogues play in 84 as support to the boothill footappers and it annoys me all these years later nothing can be done to stop this foul practise.

Haven't got my tickets either yet from the same place.

What about the Wolfe Tones as support? Or are they too old school to be considered?

Well said Ian

They have a very young fanbase here in Ireland who romanticise the rebel songs they still sing. Mind you, a few choruses of Come Out Ye Black and Tans would have half the crowd rocking and the other half bewildered and confused

I hope it's Cait, but if not, I'm guessing it may be Ella Finer again?
