Just me!
I have spent over 3 hours trying to get £40 tickets for Take That in Manchester, I was on the phone-i thnk i have RSI! and dh was on the laptop
They even added 4 extra dates and still no joy
Talked to my sister and she said she would have queued overnight for me!pah!
Some people on another site i know got tickets within 20 minutes-I have asked them to take photos
I thought I'd take a look on ebay and there are prs selling for £700!!! :roll:

Barney, they are a recycled boy band. :)

Dear Jopsy, is your Dad as cheeky as me. :wink:

Last year at the end of June they were playing at the bowl at Milton Keynes, as there was a good westerly wind, i could here the out of tune singing for three nights. :twisted: :D :wink:

We used to get a 'boys band' marching around the streets of my local town on a Sunday. My father used to take me in to hear them, they did not sing but used to blow bugles out of tune and beat drums out of time. Still I used to enjoy it, I think they were called the Boys Brigade but even I would not travel to Manchester to hear them sing out of tune.

Tone deaf

I am a 48 year old Mancunian, Take That are brilliant, in tune, talented and not at all precocious, Jopsy sorry you were out of luck don't let these grumpy old cynics stop you from pursuing your dreams

You should try getting U2 tickets!!!!!! They sold out, worldwide, in 5 minutes. I only got mine cos i'm a fan club member...... 2 tickets sold for £75,000 for Honolulu, the last gig in the 2 year Vertigo tour.

Check out their forum as people often sell extra tickets on at face value. Good luck

Dear Compo, i'm not really a grumpy old cynic, :oops: i was just joking about as normal.

It would be a boring old world if everyone liked the same thing, and i really do respect other peoples tastes, more than people will ever relize.

Realize Realize Realize. :wink:

Glad to see nothing's changed whilst I've been away! Herby,when will you ever learn to behave? :wink:

(Actually, please don't)

I quite like Take That - they're certainly more attractive with a few years "on the clock". Don't think I'd pay that amount to see them, though. The last concert I went to was Neil Diamand at Woburn Abbey a couple of years ago. Bet you enjoyed that one Herby!
