There were standing tickets available (although they might be sold out by now?). I ordered a spare one just in case my mate couldn't grab me one in time (I'm in the Philippines on holiday, and he's in the UK), so if you can't find a spare standing ticket anywhere, let me know

Standing tickets appear to be sold out.

Damn it! I should have checked earlier.

I just noticed something interesting,which has concerned me a little. I ordered "standing" tickets, and my tickets says this on them..but there is also a number on each. When I just looked at the email from ticketmaster I noticed :

You purchased 3 tickets to:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

M.E.N. Arena Manchester, Manchester, UK

Seat location: section FLOOR, row 223, seats 2-4

SEATS! aahhhhhhhhhh! Can someone confirm their "standing" tickets aren't the same, or is it simply a number so they know how many are sold etc? Thx in advance.

Stephen.

Mine is the same. I think you're right, they have to be numbered so the capacity isn't exceeded.

John

PS to Pete, enjoy your seat, I've already tapped up Nick for his spare ticket.

SteveC · Post by **SteveC** » 02 Jan 2006 21:00

Nick

If that spare ticket is still spare can you spare it

I'd be eternally grateful for evermore

Cheers mate

Nick will be somewhere mid-air between the Philippines and the UK right now.

SteveC , one of my tickets is a spare one(ordered 1 extra incase another friend wanted in). Thought I'd offer it to a true fan on here, (face value) rather than EBay (blah).

Cheers BC

I might get back to you, I'll send you a PM if I'm struggling, you're not far from me anyway to maybe collect it

All the best

Looks like it's eBay for me! All the auctions are for pairs, though and I'm just coming down by myself.

If anybody has a spare standing ticket..........

Or is it best just to get a seating ticket and at least guarantee being there?

SteveC · Post by **SteveC** » 03 Jan 2006 18:26

Theres no way I'd be able to stay in one place when 808 come on, its got to be standing otherwise I'd end up in row b instead of row g.

I'll try and get bc's ticket. If Nick still has his maybe he could sell it to you, watch this space.

PeteB · Post by **PeteB** » 03 Jan 2006 19:16

so how many of us are gonna fight over nick's spare ticket, steve c your a lucky man with bc's

i have yet to buy a ticket, so i might not make it after all - carlos has been hopeless with booking the tickets and i dont own a credit card anymore

i'll stay in my hotel room all evening and listen to james blunt!
