Take That

I wondered if it was to stop touts somehow, because you have to login to an app for them. Or stop resales.

That’s a good point! It did say that resales had to be made on their resale site too and had to be face value/(or less?)

It’s SO short! Could have written another verse and a bridge FFS. It’s a shame, because it’s catchy as hell and pure joy.

oh god not Beeston I've bad memories of living in Rylands haha Google says nearest is Queens Walk in the Meadows which is 21 mins walk not sure i'd want to walk there late at Night though

Hahaha we lived in Beeston for about 5 years and in the Rylands for a couple of years in a little flat near the canal, bloody loved it!! Only moved back home as the husband got made redundant we're having a return to the Vic Hotel for a good meal before the show next week!

Yeah not walking through the meadows at night, I'll take my chances with the train station or try for an Uber

What did he say? I don’t do insta.

 

[Doingitforthegramhuntake2]

Wow they’re so good!! I love the black and white one of Gary, with the umbrella in colour

That’s my favourite too

Didn’t Mark once admit to, and have therapy/rehab for, a sex addiction? He was also openly an alcoholic.

Just saw the setlist

Spoiler: setlist mention

Delighted I found Heaven is included as i've never heard it live, also glad Hold up a Lights is in as that works great live. Good mix of songs from all their albums

That spoiler song will make me cry as I love it so much!

I made the mistake of joining a couple of TT tour FB pages so I've been spoiled for the setlist. But it's re-opened the TT playlist floodgates so I am loving it!

I’m just out of going to see Greatest Days and it totally reminded me how much I love TT - now this

 

[Doingitforthegramhuntake2]

I’m going on Sunday too.. the previous stadium shows I’ve been to were pretty standard - you queue for hours and you get a good spot. You come along later and you get what you’re given. I’ve never experienced pushing and shoving but maybe I’ve just been lucky. I would love to be at the front but I just don’t think my bladder and back can take the hours of queuing anymore

I went for seats this time for that very reason! I’m way past the days of queuing for hours and not going to the loo for 12 + hrs

TT have always been my fave band, first time around I was too young to see them live.
So when they split I thought it'd never happen. So glad they reunited as i've been to every tour plus all 3 of Gary's solo ones

 

[RainbowFuzz]

I am so looking forward to this tour as it was incredible first time round. I just worry that they'll change the set list too much to include new songs, and it will break my heart if they sing the new dance version of Said It All!

 

[maytoseptember]

I’m seeing them four weeks tomorrow and the wait is killing me. Don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a show

 

[Sammiejayne444]

that's really helpful, thanks Starting to get excited now, do we think there's any chance Lulu will show up? (I really hope not...)

Christ I hope not bad enough that I don't like The Script but Lulu might tip me over the edge !

Cheap seats for us

I'm sure the first stadium gig I did (Circus 2009) the whole pitch and first tier seating was General Admission and cost about £45-50. I don't remember any special VIP areas. We pretty much walked up to the B stage, no cordons etc. If you wanted front row you got there early. I'm going to be in the cheap seats but at least I'll be able to rest my middle aged legs for a while only downside of seated is all the people who don't stand up to dance then tut and sign when you do!

 

[bowtiesarecool]

I wish I was going but for the same price as a standing ticket, I had a solo trip to Spain (flights and hotel!) so couldn't justify the cost. Plus the idea of doing Sunderland solo really freaked me out (did Nottingham with my son for the This Life tour which was a much smaller venue!)

Enjoy everyone!

 

[GingerSquid]

Keep meaning to read/listen to his book. Would you recommend it?

As an audio it’s worth it can listen whilst doing housework etc

Didn’t Mark once admit to, and have therapy/rehab for, a sex addiction? He was also openly an alcoholic.

yes it came out that he cheated on his wife with numerous Women, he wrote a song 'what do you want from me' for Wife after it was revealed

 

[kimh90]

Just checked the ⫩ store and it now says the programme is sold out. I really hope I get mine. I’ll be so disappointed if I don’t. I have a programme from every tour! If I’d have known it would be this much hassle I would have just bought it when I was there and sucked up the awkwardness of what to do with it whilst watching them

I did the same with a mcfly tshirt 2021 to save me carrying it I ordered it and i never got it.. regularly checked eBay and literally just got the one I wanted

 

[bowtiesarecool]

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.

Only on the bigger gigs towards the end of the tour I think. Otherwise I'd be re-evaluating my choice to not buy tickets as I love Beverley Knight!

 

[pixxyy]

I've still got all mine on vhs. Got a huge box of all my memorabilia up in the loft. Remember going to our local market one day and getting a pair of knickers with Marks face all over them. I was obsessed

I never had the knickers haha
Did have the Duvet, Watch, Wall Clock etc No Dolls though which I blame my parents for
