There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

Anyone have any idea how fast these will sell out? Ideally I'd wait until they're confirmed on the official site, but there's no way I'm chancing a Sisters gig ;)

I'm holding out for a London gig, but I might travel to the Nottingham gig as well (depending on finances and annual leave)

IIRC, 97 sold out quickly, 01 slowly and 03 not at all, generally speaking. But I'm not 100% sure.

A gig on or before the 27th in the south would suite me fine.

From what I can remember, the manchester gig in 2003 was only about half full.

Well half full of people, totally full of smoke, I didn't see Von for the first 40 mins of their set! Lets hope the smoke machine is broken this time.

Apart from maybe the London show(s), I seriously doubt the UK dates will sell out, not without any new Sisters product... :roll:
Only London sold out on the last tour IIRC, and even there tickets were still available up to a day or two before.

Beg to differ Simon. I don't think either night sold out. Touts were trying to sell complete/intact tix after the 18th for a quid. :roll:

Rascals that they are. :wink:

PS: A couple of quid ... and I'll see you on ebay in five years time. :innocent:

If you're impatient you could always try asking their booking agent Andy Woolliscroft www.primary.uk.com
