I think I've seen TBC a few times before. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're carp.

Oh, they're a band? I guess I just assumed TBC was a variation of "To Be Announced."

Hence "sometimes they're good, sometimes they're carp"

I didn't notice that. And I couldn't resist...

So they send the tickets for the Manchester gig to Australia now, but my tickets to Germany have to be collected at the venue because the time's too short. Must be a joke.......

Apparently there was a choice between standard and secure delivery and secure delivery can't be arranged outside of Britain? This is what they've told me anyways.


"When you purchased this particular ticket you opted for standard delivery. This (unlike secure delivery) can be sent overseas."


So for one ticket I ticked standard and they are mailing it to the US, the other I ticked secure and they aren't, yet.

I don't recall seeing that detail at all, but whatever. Monkey with a keyboard.

Identical thing here. It was 1 AM when I bought them, sure, but I thought I'd paid attention to the checkout process. I decided to play it safe, and leave Thursday's at the box office. Friday's was already in the mail so there's that.

I've often thought TBC would be a good name for a band. Or Special Guests. They both seem to get a lot of gigs.

Hoping to head along to the Apollo on the 15th. Meeting some friends in MNC for a couple of days but I have no ticket as of yet. They're coming from Australia and I'm coming from Ireland. Last minute idea!

Have checked Stubhub etc. and unsurprisingly the prices are astronomical (required to purchase two tickets in most cases). Just wondering what my chances are of picking a ticket up on the night and how much of a shakedown that will be?

Big fan of the band, but having seen them numerous times in recent years, I'm hesitant to pay 5 times face value for a ticket.

Any thoughts?

Cheers.

Paddy,i have a spare for downstairs,there's 20 of us going over from Halifax,we're aiming to get to Manchester around 5ish,face value (£37.50 with the accursed booking fee),let me know if you want it,i'll hold onto it til you get back on here,
all the best,

Hi ole,

Sorry for the delayed response. Just got back on here..

I will most definitely take that if you still have it. I arrive in Manchester early afternoon so can meet you anytime after five - can arrange a where and when with you closer to the time and I'll be there.

Cheers.

Sometimes they're carp?! Seems a bit fishy to me...

Hi Paddy,no worries,yep,i still have the spare,and meeting up somewhere in Manchester is fine (tho i may well be a gurning buffoon by teatime,cos we're meeting up at 1ish ),i haven't been on here for a while,so don't know if its ok to put my email address or mobile number up for you to get in touch,any ideas?

Opening acts:



I would speculate that with Kitty being present at Brixton that she is likely the vocalist to join on FToNY (should it be played) and A Man You Don't Meet (but this is, of course, pure speculation).

I'd concur (in a speculative way).

That's brilliant! Very much appreciated!

I probably won't be too far behind you in the gurning buffoon department come five o'clock!! That's the plan anyway.

If you want to mail me at mtktechnologyie@gmail.com and mail me your number and I'll do likewise?

(Mods - old email address so not worried about being spammed etc. - if it could be left up for a couple of days til we get in touch that would be great)

Will keep an eye ob my email.

Thanks!

As I was saying you name the time and place when you arrive and I'll be there. I'll also be on the wrong side of fiteen pints of hooch come five o'clock!! That's the plan anyway.

If you want to email me at mtktechnologyie@gmail.com with your number and I will do likewise, we can sort it out from there?

(Mods - this is an old email address, so not worried about spam etc. hope it's ok to post. Can be deleted in a couple of days if needs be.)


Thanks!

Paddy,just emailed you,

Ole

Hermitage Green are fantastic I can't believe they're gonna be playing in Glasgow and London, lucky me. They are from down the road in Limerick and have played loads of times around here. They play a mixture of originals and covers of contemporary songs using guitars, bodhran, banjo and bongos! Worth a listen if you can drag yourselves out of the pub

Here you go..........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkq4J2k09YY

Long shot but I'm still looking for one more Manchester ticket...

Hi!
We are two people from GALIZA that will go to see the Academy gig of Pogues (20th).
Unfortunable one of us can not to see the gig, we sell onte ticket for Friday.
My mail is iagosantas@edu.xunta.es.
Cheers
Iago

Hermitage green are f*cking shocking, can't believe they are supporting, i had free tickets to them once, checked them out on youtube and threw the tickets into the fire ,blagh!

I will be in the pub for the support slot supporting a local publican

'The Dublin Legends' (although i hate the group name) would have been a good opening act, i.e Sean Cannon, Eamon Campbell (Dubliners) Patsy Watchcorn (Dublin City Ramblers) and Gerry O'Connor (Four men and a dog)

Hermitage green sounds like a shit B&B or a rehab clinic for attention seeking celebrities... feckin rubbish
