I know the feeling, It took me ages to find that site, I was thinking I'd never get the chance to order my tickets!

It's a good job they are doing Manchester or I'd have not seen them at all cos of the distance I'd have to travel. [I live in Sheffield]

Can't wait now, should be excellent.

Yeah, saw them at Manch Academy earlier this year (it seems ages ago now) and they were everything I'd hoped they'd be and more.Gavin Harrison was a revelation! I couldn't believe how small the crowd was though.

How small are we talking?

I spose it has its advantages though, you can get the best place to stand and see SW in his glory!

I'd rather go and see PT at a smaller venue with a small crowd then see them in an arena setting and be right at the back.

[although it'd be cool if they played for crowds of 30,000 would it not?]

Small? @400 people. We just walked in a strolled up to the front-centre of the stage,which was cool.

Although it would be less intimate, I too wish they could fill the big arenas-some day maybe!
