I’m a take that fan (since the beginning) in my mid 40’s).

I can be a fan of their music, but realise as an adult I have completely different values and opinions to one member (or more) of a band who’s music has resonated with me for decades.

as a person I don’t think Howard (in my opinion) is right to sit on a toilet reposting utter shit when he has a platform as big as he does. On his private page where his opinions don’t slur the image of the band, he is allowed to post whatever he wanted but I can’t imagine the uproar if mark or especially Gary were to post a racist, sexiest or homophobic post on their grid/stories and it not cause uproar or make the tabloids.

just because ‘that’s what Howard is like’ doesn’t mean it’s acceptable or that as a fan I can’t be disgusted that his management let him get away with this on a ‘work’ page.

my teenage son and daughter see these posts (they’ve been brought up on TT) and my best friend reposts everything he posts as she is obsessed by him, so inevitably I see or hear what he has posted.

The venues are slowly being teased via their Instagram. So far, nothing in the North East so not a happy bunny. .if Glasgow ends up being in the school holidays, that's my best option 😬

Looks like the stadiums may have a small b stage set up judging by these Boro images

Interesting that the stage is at a goal end though when the plan for Nottingham shows different.

I hope they do! I realise that obviously they can’t have the full shebang like in the arenas but don’t see why they couldn’t have a b stage and runway like they have done before in stadiums! I didn’t quite understand why the stage at Notts isn’t at a goal end!

Saw Take That there in 2019 (I think). Recommend going on the train. Parking is appalling and the station isn't that far away. They ran buses from the station to the stadium but leaving afterwards, just walk to the station.
St Mary's is a phenomenal stadium (Saints fan) but queues for drinks are llllloooonnnnggggg !

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...)

Do they check ID?

Having tickets from a colleague so in their name, won't be with us on the night

They dont always but there usually stricter for TT compared to other acts. And past gigs I have seen them check people.
I messaged the ticket people just to be careful

This is the thing, my OH has agreed to go with me so I don't want to spend silly money on tickets as he's not that bothered. If I was going on my own I'd probably spend a bit more. I saw the Circus in 2009, and I'm pretty sure the ticket, bus and hotel cost less than it costs to sit in the most expensive seats!

That was what tipped me - my husband refused to come with me (he came to the Progress tour) and my son refused to come too (he came to the This Life tour). I like being solitary to an extent but being alone in a crowd of 60-70 thousand actually really frightens me! Yet apparently I'll quite happily fly to another country alone!

Sooooo pissed off with the whole thing now! I managed to jump on this morning, despite thinking I wouldn't have the time, bagged 2 tickets straight away, got through to payment and accidentally made a typo in my email address. It wouldnt let me correct it, the box was greyed out and unclickable. The basket timed out and I lost them😡 nothing available where I want now so going to have to wait and see if anything comes up later. TBH I don't think I can be arsed any more!

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 😞

As they are touring still i'd guess they'll be printing more copies and will be back on sale etc

I think I've got the worst possible seats going at the OVO but I'm in when they all looked sold out before 😅
