can't wait can't wait can't wait!

Praise the Lord, etc.

But Blackburn? Blackburn is so close to Manchester, why couldn't he have just played Manchester?

OMG the post-RAH depression has lifted! Bring it on Brixton!!!! God, another morning of keypad-finger syndrome!

Life is sweet once more.

Girl Drowning

would it kill him to play on my 21st birthday nov 1

Lets not forget your fans in Northern Ireland and Wales,Morrissey!Go on add Belfast and Cardiff to your tour now or else!

Helen

He didn't have one solo show in LA, the city that has been by his side throughout his whole solo career when he was hated everywhere else including his native land. But he's going to give them so much more. I can't fathom the logic behind it.

A fine industrial northern town! Am beside myself!!!

What's with his fetish for the B's then?

BIRMINGHAM
BRADFORD
BLACKBURN
Barrowlands
Brixton Academy

Hypothetical question for UK Morrissey fans - if you were going to travel to the UK for one of this new set of dates which one would you go for ? The things I'm thinking of are venue, likelihood of getting standing tickets, ambience, friendliness of the crowd etc. I've never actually travelled to see Morrissey before (I'm in Ireland - we've been spoiled rotten) but I've just seen him twice in Dublin and it was so perfect I just want to do it all over again ...

I shall be attending the Blackburn and Brixton shows with a suitcases of tears and some microphone polish...does anyone wish to murder Policeman beforehand?

nh

I have been phoning Birmingham Academy lines but they say they have no knowledge of the gig to be played there and gigsandtours.com has nothing either. Where the devil can tickets be bought? Quickly! I must see Moz!?!?!?!

Wow. I'm speechless. Barrowlands isn't huge though, hope I get tickets..the alternative is too horrifying to think about.

It's confirmed there:

My God! I went to RAH and need more. I need to lie down. I need a double whisky and ginger. I need to get tickets. I need to make christmas present sacrifices.

(I'll be going to the Glasgow gig, btw)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Morrissey play Bristol! I can't make it to the other gigs because i've just got a new job and i can't get time off (and heaven knows i'm miserable now).

'Book your tickets for either (or both!)'

Or...both.

What happened to the Newcastle date?

I could only manage to get standing tickets for the shows this morning. Will there be seating tickets available later on?

of german, belgium or Dutch dates?

Has he ever played Luxembourg?
[it would be perfect to please belgiums,germans and
dutch and French, he can perform for a week in the
same venue]

The Barrowlands list says 14+, gigsandtours.com says 18+.

Do I book them and risk not getting in?

Just booked my tickets on the website at 8am, despite them telling me on the phone last night that I would NOT be able to get any before 9am! Haha. Can't believe it's happening again so soon! WOO HOO!

GD

PS It looks like Moz really is just tightfisted, it wasn't the RAH that cost so much after all. Shame on you Moz.

what's with germoney? oh, why don't you come here? why don't you hang around?

Just bought 2 standing tickets for Brixton gig - can't wait!

book at www.gigsandtours.com

Just booked my tickets for the Birmingham, England gig, has Morrissey ever played in Birmingham before either solo or with The Smiths? I dont think he has but I am sure that someone will put me right on that. I am so pleased after travelling to the RAH now I can virtually walk to the venue, for once in my life I am glad to be a Brummie!!

I have tickets to see Morrissey. Lord knows, this will be the first time. Hooray!

for Brixton tickets, book on www.ticketweb.co.uk - they have much cheaper Postage fees

just got mine :)

had to buy a standing for brixton, but why oh why is it over £35?! ri-bloody-diculous. gah. glee and rapture, but gah!

For Americans who might not know, Guy Fawkes Night is on the 5th November. Its a night for burning effigies of public hate figures and letting off fireworks, and it commemorates the attempt by Guy Fawkes and other conspirators to blow up Parliament. He's regarded as a person who tried to overthrow a fledgling democracy by some, and as a Catholic martyr by others.

Hurrah!!

Went the the AH and couldn't miss these. Not going to be able to go to Birmingham, but 3 isn't bad. What a wonderful day.

Come on!!

(seriously)

TWENTY EIGHT POUNDS!!!!

I'm a student!!!!!!!!!

Can't get anyone else to go either, looks like I won't be going to Brum then!!

I bought my tickets for this tour from Wayahead - Gigsandtours.com. They insist on a charge £4.70 postage for each venue. Save your money and buy from a more efficient company.

Morrissey the 23rd

Why have the seats been taken out of Brixton Academy for this show? Also, why does the London venue have to be in a disgusting part of town? Watching Moz at the Albert Hall was a beautiful experience, but this looks like it will just be unpleasant.

someone posted that seats are not available. i booked two from ticketmaster this morning! (unreserved seating)

It's a lot of money, but well worth it. Interesting though that Mozzer costs a lot more than both The Strokes and Belle and Sebastian at the same venue (about £20 each)

Still, since Moz came back on this tour, I haven't really given a monkeys about any other band. See you down the front!

Booked my tickets for Bradford! Good old Moz - I knew he wouldn't forget us northerners.....Alain - I'll be the one at the front blowing kisses! xxx

....by telephoning the venue direct.

I just rang the Kings Hall in Blackburn and got two standing tickets £7 cheaper than using an on-line ticket agent.

I know it doesn't matter how much you pay to see him but after forking out for the RAH I need to save all I can.

JB, Manchester

Hey Mozza,
I know you claim that you don't vist here because it upsets your delicate state of mind - BUT can I make a suggestion?

As the show at the Brixton will be attended by all of the same 1,500 people that were at the Royal ALbert Hall, can I ask for a slight variation or two to the set list.
Please. Pretty Please.

Just so I know that I'm not some sad bastard that will pay anything (>£30) to see your god-like self.

£27.50 (+ £3 booking fee) to see M at Brixton Academy.....hhhhmmmmm....how come other acts charge on average 8 or 9 pounds less (Underworld - £19.50 - gig till 3 a.m - Papa Roach - £20.00 - Richard Ashcroft £19.50 - Wyclef, official whore of the music industry, is only charging £18.50 for God's sake........It's not my fault M doesn't have a record deal and has to boost his income by charging way over the odds (perhaps if he wasn't so greedy he'd have a deal by now if it didn't mean the record company had to bankrupt itself to sign him).

Come on M show a little respect for your fans.....

Anyone running a book on whats going to get cancelled on this leg of the current tour? And one more thing if he announces a Manchester date I am going to puke!! Just ordered tickets for Blackburn!

Quelqu'un effectuerait-il le voyage France-Blakburn pour le concert du 2/11? j'irais jusqu'à accepter de le faire en bx leader. Conducteurs de Fuego s'abstenir. Merci

Are the tickets too dear? What about the booking fees? Is the area too dirty to travel to? When will he come to Manchester, Bristol or my back garden?
I went to three gigs three years ago and will do the same again this year. It might then be about three years till I see him again. Work it out. On average about thirty quid a year on tickets and not much more on travel/accomodation.
Try following a football team on that budget.

blackburn has more class than la

What is the matter with you lot? All I see here is complaining. For me personally this Brixton gig is the only one that I'm able to see on this tour, so I gladly pay the price for it, and I'm not worrying about how much the tickets cost. And furthermore, as a stroke of luck for once, it came to me as total surprise bonus, as I'm gonna be in London anyway at that time. So, I'm really happy now. I'm not spoiled for choice in these matters, as some of you people might be, because I come from the northern Europe where it's really rare to see Moz live anyway. Well, this time there are gigs in Sweden also, but I'm totally unable to go there then.

I see that online tickets are £30 plus. How does that compare with the RAH tickets? Is it more expensive - if so, how come?

I have live all my life in a little town called Darwen just 2 miles from Blackburn and I have been desparate to see him play at Blackburn (too young in 91). It's at the doorstep of my former college.... but I moved to Alabama on a sholarship 2 soddin' months ago and I don't get to go back home until christmas - I hope that dvd gets released in the near future, as it's the nearest am gonna get to a Moz concert for a bit.

Oh well, next time....... if there is one.

so what if these tickets are a little pricey, i paid 25 quid and travelled from birmingham to the 2nd R.A.H now i can pay 30 sheets and 3 quid in petrol to see him 4 the 2nd time in just over a month, the geezers worth it!

Do you think Morrissey himself has any control over the price of tickets or is it his promoters? They are ridiculiusly expensive! Which makes me think that Mozza is just exploiting his fans and touring for the money! Or am i getting incredibly cynical in my old age? It was very clever of him to announce two dates in london first of all so everyone travels to them and then announce some more dates that he knows people will go to! He gets more money this way than announcing them all together!

After reading this i am very confused and have some questions:
Is there definately a Birmingham date?
Are there seats in London?
Does Brum have a sloping standing area?
Does Brum have seats?
Have all the dates actually been confirmed?!
thankyou to anyone who can answer my questions!

and it owes me fuckin good livin

YES!!! Just got off the blower from gigsandtours.com three Morrissey tickets in the bag for the Blackburn gig!!! Yaayyyyyyyyy!! Woohoooo!!! Ahhhh, think I need a lie down...sheesh
