That's not how I remember it - quite the reverse, in fact... |

Nothing amiss with respect, but I bridle at "reserve"!!! |

This is just perfect!! At 21x21 I saw Kimono, Propaganda, Indiscreet, Lil' Beethoven and Hello Young Lovers. Number One In Heaven was definitely the album I most wanted to see besides those ones, and now I have the opportunity. And it's on a Saturday night! If it was any other night I wouldn't be able to go because of work! |

I wonder if they will be playing the same "selection" at both gigs or if they will be different? |

Why would you want someone as boring as Morrisey to be involved with the two greatest musical talents ever? |

Possibly because they consider Morrissey as a good friend???? |

Maybe to get a higher chart position and shift a few more copies of Exotic Creatures,to gain more fans,get more exposure,appeal to Morrissey's mass army of dedicated fans-that could possibly be my reasoning.Boring or not he sells snow to eskimos mate. |

That's certainly true. All 8 of his solo albums were top 10, including three which reached No 1... |

What fantastic news to cheer up a cold miserable January. Me and my other half will be there. My apologies to anyone who has to stand behind him. At 6ft 4, I may have to get him to duck down a bit :-). Looking forward to this now especially after missing the last set of gigs.
Does anybody know of any cheapish hotels nearby?? _________________ Carol wears Cacheral..... |

I've stayed at the Howard Winchester a couple times and it's not bad. Great breakfast too. It's only a couple tube stops away from the Forum.

Do you need to book twice or can you book both nights on the same transaction (i.e. only 1 lot of card charges) ? |

I got 2 tickets for Friday through See Tickets and Saturday through Ticketmaster (don't ask!).
If you go through Ticketweb you can add to basket and overall I could have saved £2 if I'd done it this way www.ticketweb.co.uk
Hope this helps and that if you save £2 you'll buy me a t-shirt and a beer at The Forum _________________ But when I trimmed it real small my Jewish friends would never call. |

Re this printing-out-your-own-ticket thing - I may be being naive, and have a rollicking good laugh if I am, but what's to stop people printing out / photocopying multiple 'tickets' and flogging them....? I know sellers may save on postage, but what will this cost in fraud...? |

They each have a unique barcode that will only scan once.You are right they can be printed in muliples by touts. But I think anyone buying a printed out ticket from a tout would be being very naive. So the message is DON'T!
Also the saving isn't much different to postal charge. _________________ Don't let it get me! |

Providing you were the first person to have that unique barcode scanned at the door, you would get in using a duplicate ticket! _________________ Gonna hang myself from my family tree. |

Mmh all sounds a bit hit and miss relying on chance and timing...not that touts would worry...but as was said earlier who in their right mind would by a print-out bar code from a tout.....hookey tickets are a big enough risk! |
