    Evening All,:wave:

    Managed to get tickets for the Opera House tomorrow. :j Having just recovered from my night with Axl and the dawn chorus, I'm hoping Darius is more of an early bird ;).

    I'm going to try for tickets for Take That when they go on sale, but I've never been to the City of Manchester Stadium. Can anyone recommend decent seats please? Also, is there anywhere to park that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Thanks

    Unless it's Ken Dodd, most theatres kick everyone out at a reasonable hour. This is scheduled to start at 6.30pm according to ticket but 7.30pm according to theatre site! And it lasts two hours. No mention of a break or if that is included in the two hours.

    I would love to see Take That again but I can't do stadia concerts any more. I envy you. <big sigh>

    I missed out big time last year Pooch, my son had a friend of a friend, who had a Box at MEN and had a spare seat I could have had. They tried to get a babysitter and couldn't, so I (was) volunteered. This year, my daughter has bought Westlife tickets:j (it's her Christmas present to me) so I want to treat her to Take That tickets.

    oooooo, I lead a full and hectic life, :cool: Guns n Roses, Darius, Westlife, Take That and ... what was that you said about Ken Dodd??:o

    And why not? I used to go to concerts all the time, sadly don't have the cash and even worse body not up to doing all that it used to. I was devestated at missing The Circus Tour but unless I have somebody to go with I can't get to stadia. I just have to sit at home and sulk.:( But as for the box at the MEN, s0d the baby, I would have been there like a shot. :D

    It did but strangely it doesn''t now:(

    All I can suggest is keep trying in case it is a glitch in the system but I think it could be that they have issued all the tickets.

    I have emailed ShowFF and got the standard reply of they will get back to me, it may take 24 hours!

    If I hear from them I will post here but in the meantime keep trying, it might be a glitch.

    Take That tickets
    If anyone has received an email or sees an advert stating that you can buy tickets for the Take That gigs now please, please, please, please, please make sure that you aren't being scammed by companies in the secondary market who sell the tickets at premium rates.

    I've just this second checked out a site and started calling TT all the robbing s0ds under the sun until I checked the terms and conditions.

    https://www.takethat-reunion.com/terms.html

    The prices are outrageous to say the least. So please don't get scammed. The normal agencies and their fees are bad enough but at least you know you will receive genuine tickets.
