Guess who's coming to this as well?
with enormous thanks to my generous benefactor who sadly isnt going but amazingly thought of little old me! bless you bro x
Excellent news Lee!
i dont know if this makes me seem like a spoiled brat or not, but it wasnt until i found out i was going to all 3 nights that i realised hoiw much it had been bothering me that i wasn't going to all 3. i havent been that excited about going at all, despite looking forward it, and assumed i was just in trepidation of last minute cancellation. Now i am going to all 3 i feel AMAZING.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

We'd put it to the back of our minds as much as possible cos you never know what could happen but with less than a month to go we've started to get a wee bit giddy about it all!
this shiit with the digital tickets is fuckking ridiculous. as i have been given my ticket for the sunday night i have had to get the donor to write a letter of authorisation (on a form the roundhouse sent me) HAND-SIGN it, and post it to me for me to collect the tickets from the venue beforehand. collect the VIRTUAL tickets that don't exist. the donor has also had to notify the r'house of the transfer and provide them with my details. what fuckktard thought that up? apparently it will stop touts . and?

I agree, if they are so digital it should be possible to digitally transfer the name as well. But, let's see how it really works at the entrance - I have had my name on most tickets over the last years, but have so far never experienced an ID check regarding the ticket.
I'm also wondering how it is possible that there are now many more free tickets for example for Saturday, when it is not possible to return any tickets? (checking Level 2 Seated which shows seats left) Where do these new seats come from? There were about 5-7 tickets left during the last weeks, now there are over 40...
Super-excited for I Like Trains! Gonna be a long night of standing around, after 2 previous nights. Please give me space if you see me looking stressed, I'll be fatigued and in a lot of pain so may need to just be left alone at times, esp if outside smoking on the balcony! Still, super-excited for I Like Trains!
I'll have probably had enough of t'Sisters by then, unless they throw some major suprises into the works like "War on Drugs" or "On the Wire" or massively brilliant covers!

War On Drugs would be magnificent but Ben and Dylan would be doing the lions share of the singing I reckon. Am trying to avoid musing on what they may or may not play, so long as they do Black Sail Show Me, Genevieve and Susanne at some point over the weekend, i'll be happy
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.
i am looking forward to the Sunday night (post-digital-ticket transfer worry-potential) as being a sublime & zen-like evening differing from the previous 2 in these crucial ways:
any new songs and /or set-list surprises will presumably have been premiered, post-mortemed and processed; i will have already ran into and enjoyed the company (hopefully many times over) of all the friends i hoped/planned to see as well as anyone else that i was destined to see; and of the 3 nights it will be the only night where -estimable friends/family/associates from within our Sisters family aside- i will be attending alone, as on the Friday i am attending with my adopted Li'l Sis Aoife and on the Saturday with my adopted Li'l Sis Lucy.
the Sunday will also be the first time EVER i have attended 3 nights straight without a gap. so the drugs WILL be working.

I'm treating myself to a hotel on the Sunday so I won't have to worry about getting back to South London after the gig. Glad to hear somebody will be up for post-gig drinks and not rushing off early to get up for work or travel home the next day.

My cats prevent such shennanigans now and last bus is at midnight so I will turn into a pumpkin. Will the Enterprise even be serving after 11 on a Sunday night?
BTW night tube is not back on until 2022 so late bus or last tube at 1230am to get home on Fri and Sat too! Just to warn you.

Third usually is the charm. Wish you all there have a blast one and have at least a new tune other than the already known
