    Sorry to be a party pooper, but I'm not sure why this is posted here on a money saving site? People are talking about tickets at £80 - £100 each, yet we are all, supposedly, trying to save money. It really doesn't seem to fit in with the ethos of the website.

    Surely this sort of 'announcement' is more suitable to a social network site rather than Money Saving Expert?

    and I thought this was the GRABBIT board?? That is 'Quick Grabbit while you can' (please see above forum title)

    I'm sure thinking behind this post is a heads up about a concert which no doubt will sell out in a few minutes - hence the term GRABBIT! (Or dont GRABBIT, wait a couple of months and pay through the teeth on Ebay or some dubious agent?) Its called 'Sassy Shopping' - have a look on the MSE homepage!

    I have bought 3 for the MEN Manchester, paid £103.75 each. Expensive but so worth it.

    I've just got Block A at Newcastle - won't find out which row for another couple of weeks but will be somewhere between A-M (hoping from A-E ideally)

    Happy, happy, happy. :j

    And yes it is expensive but I'm classing this as my birthday and Christmas present... he is so amazing to watch live that I will happily not have anything bought me all year just to see him again.

    Signed up for the free service rather than the £25 paid up member. Used all my families 4 email addreses and got the invite I wanted. You have to speculate to accumalte.

    Yes tickets are expensive at £100+ a pop but hey when downloading is killing home taping what do you expect. Plus its the old supply and demand issue. People will buy so prices remain high!

    Good scheme though and fair play to him for offerring some sort of free pre-sale option. Most pre sales are through expensive memberships or subsribtions to AMEX or O2 etc.

    Anyway 2 tickets in the bag for me - see you all in club tropicana where of course all the drinks are free:T

    I signed up for the £25 thing so increase my chances of getting tickets. It did say on the website you were not guaranteed tickets, and there are alot of people on a particular well known social networking site complaining they signed up for the £25 deal and did not get tickets!

    However, on a happy note, I managed to get 2 tickets to Royal Albert Hall on 28th Oct for myself and my Mum at £96 per ticket. Really thought I missed my chance after he announced the end of arena tours, and I wondered where he would be touring for this new one, so I didn't have high hopes of getting a ticket.

    Combined with the fact I was at work, at 2pm the website crashed THEN someone came in asking for support! Nooo! lol. Luckily, I had somehow managed to get 2x tickets into my basket!

    Roll on October!!
