Whyyyyyyy does it have to be in the middle of my exams If I'm going to see them it'll be in Newcastle if I've finished by then or I'll make a trip home to Manchester for the 30th, by which point I should have finished. Ah well, I get my provisional timetable next week, I hope it's nice! It'll be a brilliant way to celebrate the end!

I'll be disappointed if the timetable's awful...I've been waiting for this day for over 3 years...and I'm sure I'm not the only one in the same boat!

 How quickly are we anticipating these dates selling out? I have work on both the pre-sale day and the day of general release so may have to make the difficult choice between getting tickets or going to work

 My nearest is Brixton which holds 4000ish so that stands me in fairly decent stead I guess. No idea if its allowed but I'm only a temp worker so I'm happy to run the risk

Newcastle, Leeds & Manchester for me

Anywhere but Leeds or Folkestone is technically a possibility, though I'm unlikely to get to more than one or two. Does anyone know if seated tickets (where available) will be available in the presale? The venues don't always give the most accurate information and I've got into strife with other fans before by following advice I've received from venues via email. Wandering around with sheets of paper looking hopeless somehow makes you look like venue staff and thus a legitimate target for complaints about the pisspoor queuing system.

Hi everyone!

I've not been active here for years!

Kerry, Jen, how are you both? Long time no speak!

I'm gutted - I booked a holiday last week and I'll be away when the boys come back to Bristol  Saw them twice at the O2 in Bristol and it was awesome, would so love to see them there again! Guess I'll have to see them in Brum instead of 45 mins down the road!

 I can email and ask about the seats Dawn but in the meantime maybe email Sandbag as they should be able to tell you 

 Thanks, Kerry. I've sent them a message.
