Well, That Wasn't Quite What I Was Hoping For

[przed]

Take That has announced the dates for their tour next year. And the dates are mostly terrible for us.

Not only is Ros still in school for all the dates, but they also coincide with her ice show and its final rehearsals and the standardized testing all kids in her grade are expected to do.

I'd been hoping against hope for end of July dates so we could do a two week family vacation and hit the Camp Bestival music festival and also the Isle of Wight and Brighton.

The choices are now do one week in June and hit one of the last London dates, or I do a TT show or two sans famille and we still do the two week family vacation in England at the end of July.

Rats.

Don't they know they're being inconvenient?!

It is rather frustrating. I think I'm going to try for English tickets, but then see if the European dates are better for us.

Are you going to wait for the European dates? You'll have to let me know what date(s) you're planning on.

They should know! We haven’t been waiting for over three years for this! :p

I will try for UK-dates. But even if I’m successful I will probably try for the mainland-dates as well. Yeah you should try, can always sell them! Btw, is Ros still as much of a fan as she was a few years back? Wooden Boat was her favourite song, wasn’t it?

Hopefully the rest of European dates will be announced soon... So not good for my nerves. (In case I have to try again for tickets on Thursday, we received a note today saying our power will be cut off around the time of ticket sales. More inconvenience, more stress ;))

Good luck tomorrow!!

We're waiting to hear from Ros' teacher about which dates he considers we could pull her from school for a week, but it looks like we're going to try for one of the last two London dates for a start.

Ros is probably slightly more into Robbie these days (she's currently learning the lyrics to Let Me Entertain You *g*) but still likes TT. We All Fall Down has taken over as her favourite TT song. (From Jason to Mark. That's my girl!) I think she's a bit nervous about seeing them--she doesn't handle noise well; I'm getting her ear defenders--but still wants to go.

Good luck with your tickets. That's rotten about your power being cut off! I hope it all works for you. Do let me know what date you end up getting.
