Take That

So what do we think the announcement will be?

Teasers on Insta suggest something related to The Circus

I'm hoping it's as big a spectacular as it usually is after paying over £100 for a ticket! Looking forward to seeing Olly Murs too. Going with my mum and she's wanted to see him for ages.
Sat quite close to the main stage (closest seats I've ever had) so I selfishly, hope they don't spend too much time on the B stage

The seating plan I saw didn’t show a B stage, but I’m really hoping there is one!!

I ended up manually refreshing it on a second page and that worked faster than original page I opened.
I pre ordered cd from Amazon as in the pic its signed though description says nothing. So I thought worth a chance just incase its signed.
As the TT store signed vinyl sold out before I woke.

I’m going to Nottingham and that didn’t show a b stage

Anyone have any from the early years?
I will try and think of anything. They were lots of drug rumours doing the rounds at the time (mostly concerning Robbie which were probably true!) some were quite outlandish though.

oh I've only ever done standing once minus V Festival, that was 30 seconds to Mars and I got lucky as because of Snow lots couldnt get so there was lots of space. I'm only 4"10 so i'd get same experience with a cd haha

I see the arenas have a B stage but stadiums its only showing main & mixing desks atm. I think they'll also have B stage though as I saw The Circus & Progress at Stadiums and both of them did.

I was surprised to see that there wasn’t a b stage showing. Fingers crossed there will be one, would be unusual these days if there isn’t!!

Yes it was, he apparently took him away from his Birthday party. Sick stuff and goes some way into seeing why Kav was so messed up. NMS lost interest in him when he signed Adam Rickett- another one who I wonder if something happened to.

How is Kavana now? I'll definitely give that book a go.

Cheap seats for us

 

[Ding]

Is anyone going on Saturday night? If so, could you let me know the finishing time please. Trying to decide whether to book (an expensive) taxi or if we can catch the last train home on Sunday night.

Incase of Rain i've just ordered my program online. £2.75 more but I dont have to worry it'll get wet plus carrying it can be a pain.
I'm 10 mins from ground and we've had no Thunder yet and past couple of hours only brief spits of Rain

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

I've had colleagues this morning try and the prices have been super inflated by some of the tickets agencies

The prices are crazy anyway. I said to myself if I couldn't get the cheap seats I'm not going. I looked at 2 sets of tickets in the same block, one set was £69 each and the other £152 each. They were both in the furthest block from the stage, so must be a matter of dozens of rows apart. I don't know how they can justify it. I see another date has been added for Manchester on a Wednesday night. Just not doable midweek for us.

Sober 4 years. He's done some interesting interviews on YouTube about relapse/recovery. He's doing a mini tour in Asia this year, he seems in a better place

That's great.

She was fabulous when she supported them at Milton Keynes.

I was at the Milton Keynes one, but Olly Murs was support....he was fab!

I feel underwhelmed by tour merchandise at the best of times but has anyone else seen the latest merch for the Nobody Else 30th anniversary and just think it’s utterly shit? Not just underwhelmed this time, I don’t get the relevance at all.

I was a 90s fan and I can’t remember anything to do with cherubs but happy to be reminded if I’ve forgotten. So what’s this about? This is official merchandise from the Take That store!!

Wow, that's awful! Doesn't scream TT to me I'm afraid! The clothing merch is always way overpriced and a bit shit, though I did get a nice GB hoodie on his 2012 tour for about £30, they are more like double that now.

 

[ElectricDreams]

I haven't bothered this time around, a friend from work said I could go with her but the prices were ridiculous. For front A&B to be about £145 (including fees) is crazy - so instead of spending it on a ticket, I've got return flights to Spain for £50 and treating myself to a little half term R&R by myself! Cannot wait

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!

I think I've only been on the pitch once at a TT gig and that was the Progress tour. I have never seen so many people absolutely off their faces, throwing up, spilling bottles of wine etc. So many of them not even looking at the stage too! Totally spoilt it for me and I don't like stadium gigs for that reason. I always go for seated and in stadiums that feels a little bit too far away to feel included in the atmosphere.

Having said that, I've also noticed that a huge number of people with seated tickets never stand up, especially the higher up the seats go. I was back row a couple of times and no one stood up except for a couple of songs near the end! I try to sit down but just want to dance and it feels awkward seat dancing! I get some people can't stand for physical/medical reasons but it can't be the case for everyone.

Starting to think people have more money than sense. They’re going because it’s a ‘go-to’ show and not because they’re true fans. They would rather spend the duration off their faces!

Hmmm after posting this, I saw the ticket prices. I'm someone who goes to a concert to see the concert (ie, I ain't spending £80 to be at the back and barely see anything) and doing that for this will cost a fortune so I've decided no... Went to see Inside No 9 at Sunderland today and paid £28 a ticket, so have instead have decided to use what I would have spent at Take That for a couple of theatre visits for my husband and I We don't have a lot of spare cash between us, I'd rather use it for date days if I'm honest

Ooh off topic I know but was IN9 good? I'm going to Manchester next month and got tickets for £20! Looked at Sunderland and they only had seats up in the gods for about £70 which was a no from me

I can't see Howard without thinking of David Walliams and Matt in Rock Profile. "Anyone for nibbles?!" Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to the video. I'll try but apologies if I'm breaking the rules!

 

[Renegadedancer]

He needs the money I guess after his ‘The Voice’ contract finished. But agree, not ideal .

 

[pixxyy]

If its a tour be the first I miss since the reunion. I'll be sad to miss out but 10 Year old me thought i'd never see them even once
