Bigger venues by the look of things. :-\

Great to have my holidays this and the next week! So by all chances I might be able to sit and wait for the pre-sale to start. I think it is nicely done,
one look onto the map and you know what
-
Just got the email
Some important things to note. There is a limit of four (4) tickets per order on all presales for the Get Lucky Tour. Also, tickets for all shows will be available for pickup at the venue's box office on the night of the show only. This will help curtail any of these tickets ending up on the inflated secondary ticket market. We're doing everything we can to ensure a smooth process for you on the night of the show.
Good idea, means REAL fans should get the tickets.

Agree. But OTOH, it's bad for those without a credit card who have to rely on others to order tickets for them... Yeah, I know I'm whining a lot today but I'm p!ssed.

Really bigger....im not sure - Like Pottel suggested - the venue sizes look similar to other years.... ???

In both Scotland and Newcastle he is playing in larger venue's so Dusty's right. As a Scot I must confess that the SECC is not one of our better venue's. I saw the Straits there in '91 and EC in '97 and the accoustics aren't great. The Clyde Auditorium is literally right next door where he played in '01 and I personally prefer that as a venue.
-
Never been to the Clyde Auditorium. Seen Paul Simon and Dylan/Van Morrison at the SECC, it's not the worst "shed", but in no way does it compare to the Playhouse.
The god thing about the SECC though is that it has a decent hotel attached to it, you can check into your room, have a meal, have a beer then just stroll through a corrido to the gig, great stuff. :)
-
I remember walking along that tube once after being to a CD and record fayre also held in the SECC. For those who don't know it's about a mile long and mostly perspex windows that don't open for ventilation. Anyway, the temperature outside was about 70F (unusual for Glasgow) and inside that tube it was absolute torture. Ah, the days when we spent over

I am really sorry he is not at the Playhouse, Edinburgh or City Hall, Newcastle. I feel they have much more atmosphere and intimacy than big arenas, which is why I always went to those venues. I have decided to go to Manchester MEN this time because it is nearer home and it makes no sense to travel a longer distance for the same sort of venue. I have never been to Brighton or Bournemouth venues, so hope for the best! ;)

Quote: "I have never been to Brighton or Bournemouth venues, so hope for the best! "
Haha Val, as you know I have never been there either, but I am sure it will be wonderful and hey .... we are there and as long as Mark and the guys are standing / sitting in front of me, I don't care where I am! ;D
Lucky for my family I am getting calm a bit now I am sure I have the tickets! ......I remember my son trying to get tickets for a hardcore festival last year. He was busy at 3 computers to get access and buy the tickets! :o I told him he was nuts.........but looking to my own reaction and getting nervous at 5.30pm, they all might have thought I was an idiot too! ;D

I've been to Brighton a few times now (a German alien in England). The venue is nothing special, a block of concrete really, quite ugly. But Brighton is a very nice place, the seaside and the small town, all very nice. Nice parks and sightseeing, fish & chips of course. Do you know that Brighton is the 'gay capital'? And it can be really busy on weekends, especially when the sun is out. Difficult to find a parking space.
Apart from that it is more or less Guy's home concert town and MK's son went to the BIMM there and now Guy's son will be there too.

partied hardcore once in brighton, years back, believe it was 2000 or something.
great town to party.and good chinese restaurants (had a gorgeous chinese/German girlfriend back then....aaahh....the memories...

Brighton is a strange city. People love it or hate it.
I live 30 mins from it and I avoid it like the plague. It's not for me. Hate the place.
Having said that, my kids love it for the nightlife, and it has some great hotels and restaurants. Gay men and women abound. Transport links are great -it's easy to get out of - just as well (lol) - and there are plenty of nice towns around it for guys like Fien to visit - Lewes, Arundel, and Chichester spring to mind - and there are frequent fast trains to London that get you there in under 60 mins.
The Brighton Centre is the ugliest concert venue in the UK imho, but looking forward to seeing some of you there anyhow! :D
-
Funny thing.
I went to Brighton in 2008 but wasn't aware of its gay capital status. It was a saturday and I found people there very fun and festive ;D.
As said by others the venue is not "arty", but the sound is good.
-
DS1984 are you going to Brighton for the concert also?
Draad, a friend of another forum that lives nearby Chichester told about the nightlife also, but .......in the night we sleep, so perhaps I will miss the fun! ;D
In the Netherlands we have a program at TV called "How hospitable is .....". A Dutch reporter goes to houses and ask the people living there if he can have a cup of tea and somewhere else something to drink, a dinner or even if he can sleep in their house for one night! :o When the people close the door, they aren't hospitable, but if they let him in and give him and his 2 co-workers something to drink etc, they are rewarded with a sticker with the words Very hospitable on it! ;D
A few weeks ago I saw he was in Brighton and yeah it was told that there were many gay people, but hey .........gay or not, they are people like we all are! ;) Just like in many cities, also the people of Brighton were very nice and hospitable!
Draad, my friend also told that we could go for a walk on the South Downs, do you know that area also?

Unfortunately I won't be in Brighton :(
I had hoped it to be scheduled on the Saturday before the RAH run but it ended be on Thurdsay.
I have to go to work and doing both Brighton and London. Too bad because there is a good pizzeria near the venue that is open very late (maybe even all night) whereas it is nearly impossible to eat after show in th earea of the RAH (everything is closed at 11pm).
I think we have the same sort of TV programm on french TV ("J'irai dormir chez vous") but as I don't watch this type of programm I can't say much about it.
And don't forget to visit the South Pier (before it collapse!)

The Metro arena in Newcastle is a glorified cow shed:-( Acoustics are rubbish, views are sometimes awful and if you are near the back you may as well go home and play the CDs. Oh dear MK what have you done to our intimate City Hall gigs?
-
Dusty thanks for that I nearly missed out mate. MK.Com normally notify me of these things and I haven't received an email from them yet! Managed to bag 4 front block tickets at the arena though - although I hate the venue with a passion and I wonder if MK will fill 10,000 seats - there aren't that many die-hard fans up here and it usually takes 2-3 days for the City Hall to sell out its 2000 seats.
Thanks again.
