Well, That Was Stressful

[przed]

I have Take That tickets!


Not that it was easy.

I hit Ticketmaster's site right at 9:00 a.m. GMT (4:00 a.m. our time), only to find the pre-sale tickets already seemed to be sold out.

Hit refresh for twenty minutes in the hopes they just hadn't gone live yet, then finally thought about checking Twitter. And yes, they'd already added shows!

So the whole family will be going to see TT on Friday, June 12th. We're in the upper level, but right next to the stage. ETA: No, we're not! We're lower level, but right on the edge of the stage, drat it. Panic and lack of sleep made me reverse the section and seat numbers. But still, we have tickets!

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

I got them. Not the best seats, but at least I got seats.

Good for you, getting multiple dates! Should be brilliant.

Pulling Ros for a week in June shouldn't be a problem. It's after the provincial standardized tests for her grade, and they should be on cruise mode in the last couple of weeks of school.

You got seats! Just read your ETA.. Yep, that’s what panic does. And it was the middle of the night, poor you. Mapaplan shows a decent view lower tier, edge of stage though! And I’ve read everywhere that upper tier is really high up in the O2, you will be so much closer now!

I’m so sure it will be brilliant. Idiotic band, making me spend all my money :p

That’s great that Ros can definitely come too! I hope she’s looking forward to it as much as you. (I also used to be scared of loud noises when I was younger, so I can imagine she’s a bit apprehensive about that. But with ear-defenders it will hopefully be all fun!) And We All Fall Down is a gem, you taught her well. *g*

Are you still hoping for better European dates, or are you done and satisfied?

I was looking at the Mapaplan seat view, but clearly, that didn't help. :-/ But given that the Sweetie isn't fond of heights, the lower level is probably best.

Idiotic band for sure.

Ros looked a bit hesitant when we told her I got the tickets this morning. I'm hoping she'll get more excited. And the ear defenders should help. (I didn't even have to push her towards We All Fall Down. It was on a TT mix CD I play in the car all the time--Mark/Howard/Jason mix!--and she picked that one out herself. Clever girl!

I think I'm mostly going to stick with what we've got--going for a week opens the rest of the summer for more camping and other outings--but will be interested to see what the European dates are.

Aw, I’m sure it will be wonderful however your seats turn out to be. And no chance of vertigo is a definite plus ;). I’m going to see Bryan Adams at the O2 in two weeks and have no idea if I can handle the height. :p

Oh no, fingers crossed she’ll get more excited! Does she know what you went through to get tickets?! ;) Clever girl indeed. (And clever mum for making that mix CD. *g*)

I was surprised to see that they’ve added Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle shows after the London dates, with so much time in between. Are they really that nervous about not selling enough tickets? Would have been easier to leave bigger gaps between the dates. Now they have to rebuild everything for those 3 single shows (if they don’t add more). Greedy me is still waiting for more European dates ;)

I hope you have a great time at Bryan Adams. I have to admit I'm a bit excited to be going to the O2 for the first time, as well as seeing TT for the first time.

I think Ros is warming up to the TT concert idea. We also just got tickets for her for Taylor Swift in October 2015, which she is very excited about. 2015 is working up to be a landmark year for her.

Their current tour schedule is definitely interesting. I'm sure they're a bit hesitant about how many tickets they're going to sell, and also having to work around other events in the venues. I have to say I'm glad I'm not on their crew. Doing those single shows is probably not going to be a lot of fun.

Fingers crossed for European dates!
