Looks like a trip to Birmingham on the 13th and Manchester on the 16th.
Where is the best place to get tickets from for the above when they go on sale on the 31st, last year I used Ticketmaster and I waited ages for tickets to arrive.
I will also be looking for an hotel in Manchester on the Saturday night any chance of a few of us meeting up for a few pints ? in Birmingham or Manchester.

Ticketmaster have it all sown up - your tickets did arrive eventually though, didn't they?

I'm not coming to Birmingham (I don't think) as I plan to do Dublin as well as Manchester and I'm taking the family so will be skint.
I think I'll probably go in Mulligans before the MEN gig.

No, we were late getting into town so went into O'Shea's but it was rammed so we went and bought Guinness for exhorbitant prices in the MEN.

Same story for me last year at Brum. Just substitute NIA for MEN.

Tickets did arrive but only about three weeks before gig, I was just wondering if they can be ordered direct from venue,

For gigs at the NIA, you can usually order direct from the NEC box office.

Thanks I will try the NEC box office this year,
Once you have the tickets in your hands it all seems more reel then when your waiting a couple of weeks before hand for tickets to arrive.

I got my tickets from Ticketmaster and they arrived within a week.

I will be just booking Manchester for now, maybe nearer the time I'll arrange another, we'll see what happens and what tickets are left or become available.

Just booked two flights to Manchester. Now let's hope that the British Embassy works quick enough...

Make sure that you get to meet us this year, no falling asleep in your hotel room.

Promised! If all goes well with the visa procedure, my wife will be there too. It's really ridiculous: While she can travel all over the rest of the EU without any problems, the UK wants her to apply for a visa, even though she is a legal and permanent resident of another EU-country and married to a EU-citizen.
