At this moment in time I can't raise any interest in my (limited) circle of Sisters friends (or even my sister's friends) - so it looks like LS16's finest will be attending alone

You'll never walk alone.

Not on Heartland.

This site (click on gig listings at the top) has them for Â£20 + Â£1.25 booking fee + Â£1.50 postage.

I bought my ticket today in Jumbo Records. Â£20 + Â£2 booking fee. You can't avoid paying a booking fee as it's the only way the ticket sellers make any profit.

Cheers Dan.

Don't worry Billy, we'll look after you.

Will you be in t'Fenton beforehand? Regardless, I'll be on the look-out for either...

a leeds shirt (

)

or a bloke in an obvious long black wig, with a phalanx of foxy chicks swooning at his feet.

There's an above average chance that a nice green number will be called for on my part. I'd wear a nice red one, but I'd quite like to make it to the gig at least, it's a long bus journey through east Leeds from here.

See you there.

No foxy chicks interested in the gig, though I do actually know (probably) more than my fair share, as it goes.

Fenton it is, then. From what I remember of the place, a white shirt should er, "stand out" from the rest of the crowd.

Nice touch re: Bus journey. Mancs - Know Your Place

No foxy chicks interested in the gig? Apart from your gallery harem, I suppose?

My Gallery Harem?

Didn't realise I had one, but am more than willing to accept my new-found status

Please form a queue in this order and talk amongst yourselves: Blondes/redheads/brunettes

...I shall be with you as fast as I can.

M'self and Mrs. G now have our tickets for Leeds and Manchester. Ems can't make it, but I'll bring some sweets anyway.

Actually, is there any chance of there being a Sisters confectionary stall alongside the t-shirt stall? Y'know, 'Bite the Silver Bullet' rock, black candy floss etc etc. Could be quite a money spinner.

...A trip to nearby Little London would see you with some sweeties that would not so much rot your teeth as your brain.

Norman Hunter · 23 Feb 2006, 13:40

On another note, am I the first Leeds -based HL member to be wearing his Silver Bullet Tour T-shirt (courtesy of Lex3000

)?

Do I win Â£5, QB?

culprit · 28 Feb 2006, 16:37

question... I will be coming by train and am struggling with multimap, how far/walking distance to the uni?
This is mainly for going home as my last train is around 23.30.

28 Feb 2006, 16:51

About a mile, maybe mile-and-a-half?

You should easily make that 23.30 train if you leave at eleven, anyway.

It's a class t-shirt you've got there fella. Nearly as good as the "I don't dial 911" with a picture of a handgun t-shirt bought at the gun store. Although I think Scott (?) ad his girlfriend who were at Las Vegas and Phoenix also have it so you'll have to make friends with them on Heartland.

Ok, booked my ticket. This'll be fun, going to the London gig the night before too and the Nottingham gig on the 7th.

Right, where's the best place to stay in Leeds (somewhere near the venue I guess)? It'll need to have parking too.

If anyone wants a lift up to Leeds then I can give a lift from Bedford.

I won't be going to Manchester, but I'm trying to get time off to get to the Norwich gig too.

Again, if anyone needs a lift up to Nottingham, I'll be going from Bedford. I'm not sure if I'll be coming back the same night though.

Erm, the clicky doesn't work. I'm assuming you meant this one? 60 pound for one night is a bit steep though?

Leaving it to gigs-end at the moment, but will make more enquiries over the next 2 months.

lazarus corporation · 04 Mar 2006, 10:01

ticket arrived today

eastmidswhizzkid · 04 Mar 2006, 10:39

it's a good feeling innit?

lazarus corporation · 04 Mar 2006, 10:43

Yes, definitely. I've got both my London and Leeds tickets safely stashed now.

Slightly surprised that the Leeds ticket missed the definite article from the band's name, when the London ticket managed to include it.

CellThree · 04 Mar 2006, 18:11

got mine yesterday too as well as my Nottingham ticket. Doesn't look like I'm gonna be able make Norwich.
