    I'm confused because before you book, it says to pick the tickets up between midday and 5pm, yet on my booking confirmation it says you can't pick them up before the doors open at 4pm. Can someone shed some light on this?

    p.s. I know they probably won't be the best seats in the place, but for a tenner you can't really complain and from what my friends have said, TT hardly spend any time on the stage, they are on the runway which goes down the middle so we may still be able to see them!

    ETA: I got mine through ticketline, so if seetickets sell out then try there.

    GingerDi - you need to take the card you paid on and I would also take the booking confirmation.

    Yes they are just allocated when you book, and you won't know where your sat, or which block, until you pick your tickets up on the day.

    We've done this before with westlife and men arena, the view was a side view of the stage not the best, but at least with take that they spend 70% of there show on the middle stage, i know i was there on sunday.

    The £20 ones would give you the better view than the £10 ones, well it makes sense doesn't it, but although you may not get a good view for £10 you will still be there.

    Oh and for anyone going, i know a fab community centre a 3 min walk from manchester city ground that does car-parking for £5, i found it on tripadvisor, and the main roads around the ground are shut to cars, to allow people and buses to get out, for around an hour after the show, lots of people were complaining, as they wasn't told when they parked there, and they never got off till gone midnight.
    This communtiy carpark was on a small road at the back of a housing a estate, and it took 3 mins to walk through the housing estate and we was there, so it made getting home real easy, we was back in liverpool for midnight.

    Just pm me if anyone wants to know where it is, i'm not advertising it, as it's wrong on here, but it is moneysaving as most carparks are around £10-£15 to park on.

    To anyone going enjoy

    I might be being a bit stupid here, but are seats allocated at time of booking and you find them out when you pick up your tickets, or are they allocated on the day when you pick them up at the box office?

    Thanks

    I'm not techical,
    but i would imagaine as people booked them, the computer would allocate seats, (which you wouldn't know until you picked your tickets up), so they would know when they had sold there allocation.
    But then again i maybe wrong,

    i only know that you wouldn't know where your seats was until you picked your tickets up.

    there is a seating plan on the see tickets web page, to give you a bit of a idea.

    I wonder if this may end up on showfilmfirst ?
    With regards to allocation when I've been to things like this there's normally a separate box office and it's first come first served.
