    Just got 4 tickets for Blackpool. I saw them for sale on ebay by chance and nearly bought them for £70 a piece - my OH is desperate to see him. Thought i'd have a nosey on www.aloud.com and woohoo we have tickets at cost price :D Can't wait!

    I found out by chance this morning...was meant to be booking tickets for DD to see Beauty and the Beast in Nottingham! Couldn't resist seeing Billy and spent £60.00 on that instead! Haven't told the 4YO daughter, think she might cry! Ah well, I spend every last penny on my kids, and all my time, so they've dipped out this time! MUM AND DAD CAN'T WAIT, WE'RE SO EXCITED!!!!!!

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
    Seeing the Big Yin has been on my list of 'see at whatever cost' for years - so pleased I got face value tickets for Blackpool. Was a complete surprise to me - no announcements that he was touring or anything!

    I think a few people here owe Hannah2 a pint!

    This post is now redundant since the OP edited thier post. Please ignore! :)

    I just checked that link for Peterborough tickets, and they were £95 each. Went direct to The Peterborough theatre's website, and tickets are only £30. On the Sunday you can buy (at the time of writing) tickets as close as Row H.

    Thanks so much for this, I didn't even know he was touring. I have managed to get 2 tickets for Newcastle City Hall. Looking forward to a good laugh

    I totally agree Madmonkey, I also said that I would make sure I got to see him live next time he came to the UK so was over the moon when I found out this morning. Had huge trouble trying to find out info of his gigs so thought others might appreciate the heads up.

    Glad to help others out :T. Oh and thanks for the :beer: . :rotfl:

    Thanks for emphasising this Fogg, I did not mean for the link to be used to purchase tickets and have now ammended my first post to try and make this clearer. I have also removed the link and just named the company I took the list of dates from.

    I really hope that noone has paid over the odds for tickets when they are available for face value from the venues.

    Thanks
