Take That

[Glaschelle]

I actually thought their ticket prices are cheap!!! Me and the old dear have been to the Glasgow Hydro this year for Diana Ross and Lionel Richie. £150 seems to be the going rate. Plus £25 for umpteen booking fees.

19 years ago I took my mum to Hampden to see Robbie. I queued up at the Box Office which was in St Enoch Centre. They had gave out a ticket to the first 100 people saying that you were guaranteed 4 tickets - I was no 96!!! Plus then if you paid cash, there was zero booking fees.

A general admission ticket meant that you could stand or sit in an unreserved area. None of this selling every single seat in the stadium - including those behind the stage where all you can see are the screens.

Somewhere along the line it feels like we've accepted being ripped off!!!

I will try and get tickets but I need a wheelchair space for the old dear so I doubt very much I'll we'll be going.

I’ve had an email today saying that the programme now isn’t being released until 12 July

Not surprised as they were sold out first time I looked. Luckily I dont need the 3d glasses inside
---

They ran out of stock I think - I ordered one a couple of weeks ago - it was damaged on arrival but they couldn’t send me a replacement

Thats ridiculous especially when they arnt cheap

I love this band and really want to believe they are all as nice as they seem ha ha
Any gossip ?
Juicier the better

Reviving this thread, not to rant about Howard being a weirdo anti vaxxer/ against modern medicine.
BUT I'm having a 90s TT nostalgia trip, Relight my Fire was a fucking a great song. Also Mark in that crop top is iconic.

Controversial opinion: the female vocal in RMF sung by Beverley Knight (think it was the Beautiful World tour) was far better than Lulu.

Does anyone know if this Greatest Day musical and film are the same as The Band musical they did a few years ago? The thing on BBC1 that Gary was auditioning the boy band for

yes it just had a namechange

Anyone seen Howard’s latest instagram story. At least 50% of their fan base are perimenopause/ menopause/ post menopause. He really has a wonderful way with words doesn’t he

No chance of him getting them pregnant then! He has a few baby mamas...

 

[Reno70]

Take that need to retire and spend their millions! The brief clip of them I've seen of them Dad dancing on stage is laughable! The outfits they are wearing on stage look like Star Wars cast offs. Who on earth ever told Mark he can sing? He is way below your average Kareoke singer. No wonder Jason Orange and Robbie have done one!

 

[pixxyy]

My parents wouldn't let me see them when I was younger because they were too raunchy but then they'd buy me the tour video each Christmas!

Oh them videos were my fave gift every Christmas/Birthday they need to bring them out on dvd/blu ray

 

[Tofino]

Beverley Knight is supporting Gary on his solo tour she’s a great singer but she’s supported them / him before and I would like to see someone new.

omg this made my night my sister and I were sooooo crazy about Take That. our room had one whole wall of just Take That posters. I still have my old diary. "today was THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!!! Take That had split!" thank you for this trip down memory lane!

 

[bowtiesarecool]

I've loved them since the Everything Changes album but never saw them live until the Progress tour, just through circumstances of being up North and having a disabled parent so not having the money for concerts.
Went with the hubby to the Progress tour and cried when Robbie sang Angels, and then when TT sang Eight Letters (I love that song so much!).

Literally so excited to go to see them at the end of May, it's my child's first gig so they're buzzing too. All the hype is making me like arrgghhhhhhh

 

[mani]

It really was. We've had the best night. Everything hurts and I will be suffering for days but worth every second.
And my daughter chatted up one of the security guards and got his number

Wasn't it just amazing?! I still can't believe what I saw. I won't give any spoilers but Relight my Fire was absolutely incredible

 

[Sammiejayne444]

I hope all of you that are going to the tour have a fabulous time
This is the first time since 1992 when I first saw them at a Radio 1 roadshow that I won't be going to see the tour.
My youngest is going to St Mary's in Southampton and I'm jealous.

 

[coconochanel]

Anyone seen the pics of Robbie on the DM lost loads of weight.

 

[Mugglewump]

I going on the 27th, v excited, I wanted to see it the first time round but couldn't.
I first saw them at The Mall, Stockton on a nightclub tour in 1991!

Gary did mention it on an Instagram post in 2019 when he was posting about different tours.

I think they are taking a bit of a risk. I would say the 2009 tour and era was when they were at the height of their fame. And Jason is missing this time. I feel for those of us that experienced it back then, it could just never feel the same? I really thought they may have done a reimagined circus tour so it respected the 2009 tour but still felt fresh and more fitting with TT3. Because it will be impossible to recreate the feeling the 2009 tour gave. But I think this is also why they are going full whack with the promo. They really have a lot of tickets to sell compared to recent arena tours.

That said I am still really excited and will get tickets, and just enjoy it for what it is and be grateful they are still giving us tours.

I completely agree with you. It can not and will not recreate the magic of the 2009 tour. That completely unexpected moment of the elephant rising up was one of the best things I've ever seen. But will it have the same impact again? The routines will have to change to fit a 3 piece rather than a 4 piece band so a reimagined version would be better than an outright copy of 2009. Having said all that, I do love it when they perform the old favourites and I would rather pay to watch their greatest hits than pay for a tour of as yet unreleased music!

I am personally not a massive fan of stadium gigs as I feel the atmosphere is lost the further from the stage you get and I refuse to pay silly money to stand up for hours at my age

 

[Doingitforthegramhuntake2]

Did anyone get tour tickets? I got Nottingham Even though I live practically next to Middlesbrough but because we used to live in Notts we're using it as an excuse to have a nostalgia weekend away (basically, visit our old local pub that was amazing )

Haven't seen them since the Progress tour and taking my almost 14 year old to her 1st gig so very excited!!

See you in Notts I'm so excited they are in my hometown, i've been every tour since the reunion plus 4 of Gary's tours.
The stage setup surprised me for City ground as its usually on the short end at stadiums this is on long.
I got tickets in the stand opposite wanted VIP but those with me it was to much

I'm still mad at Howard but couldnt miss it in my own city

I got Nottingham too, got the Bridgford stand. Was the most stressful 30 minutes of my life!! Wasn’t even bothered where the seats were by the time I got through thought I didn’t stand a chance as the time was creeping by so was just happy to get some.

 

[Pretty In Pink]

This may ruffle a few feathers but…anyone else sick of Howard peddling his conspiracy theories continually?

I wish he would educate himself on many topics and stop posting conspiracy theories. It’s not doing the band any favours, especially in the middle of their tour. In all honesty I’ve lost so much respect for Take that over the last few years due to not only comments from Howard, but also feel Gary has started to seem a little arrogant and full of himself again. It’s like the 90’s Gary is back again. Also his second biography showed a complete different side to him.

I totally agree. It caused a huge divide within the fanbase when it all came to light. A few of us had been calling Howard out on his views on Twitter before it went viral, but he just doesn't care. I know we're all entitled to our views but his, IMO, are quite damaging and generally awful. I always say "freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences" which a lot of people seem to forget. I support Take That just for Mark these days (who is amazing solo by the way).

 

[PollyPerks]

Old age! They’re only in their fifties

I had the same reaction they're only a few years older than me!

 

[D_Wills]

I saw TT 2 years ago so I shouldn't feel shocked, but god when they cut to the 3 of them at current time they all looked so incredibly old. I was going to skip this Circus Tour but this doc has reignited my love again so may have to go!
