  • More tickets made available by Ticketmaster in East Stand (Old Trafford) @ £60 each. Seem like good seats near Reserved Disabled section. No need to pay inflated Ebay prices yet!

    Closet Genesis fan here; I've got most of the 70s stuff, then the 80s up to Indivisible Touch, sold the mainly awful can't dance album, but thought that calling all stations was OK.
    How many band members are left now?

    Oh yes, I think "who dunnit" is one of their best tracks.


    £67!
    I like them, but maybe not that much.
    I'll think about it.
    OK, I've thought about it for 2 minutes and the answer is yes.

    N2408 looks like a good option.

    Hmm, I'll have a beer or two first. What sort of silly price are tickets going to go for on Ebay?
    Happy chappy

    The tickets were released for a 24 hour 'presale' to members of the Genesis website forum, before they went on general release. That's how I got my front block (A4) tickets :)


    Mmmmmmmm if that's the case then most of the seats on e-bay are being sold by 'genuine' fans, which is a disgrace IMHO. Congrats on your good tickets though.

    Glad to see that ebay prices are taking a hit as word gets round that more tickets are on sale.
    You might even be able to buy them cheaper than face value on ebay this afternoon!!

    Doubt they'd send them then though. Just had a nose to see what they are asking for the tickets I bought yesterday £499.99 for 2! and I'm not sure but the block and seat numbers I bought from ticketline are advertised on ebay, they aren't stating a row though so I'm hoping they have the same seat numbers in a different row in our block, or it'll be a tight squeeze on the night.
    Just got to palm off daughter for the night and we're all set.
    Would be nice perhaps if people could post any tips for the area around the venue, we're probably going to travel up by train.

    How about MSE badges, hats, or those big foam fingers. Perhaps Martyn could start selling his own range of MSE concert wear.
