Take That

Going on the 9th with my daughter. Saw the circus back in 2009 and never could've dreamed I'd be seeing again with my child.
 
Reviews seem to be all really positive. Delighted for them. I saw their last tour in Cork and it wasn't great but the last Circus tour was incredible. Not expecting this to be as good as back then of course but really looking forward to it. I miss Jason 😢

I keep checking if they've added program to the merch store. Make me feel a little better that i'm missing out
 
I loved the tour for This Life, it's my favourite album by them and they really focussed on the emotion of the songs rather than a big spectacle. However I am so excited to see the big spectacle this time round, especially as I missed the original Circus tour. I admit I was a bit sceptical of the concept of them re-doing an entire tour, but seeing the reviews it's clear this was an excellent choice for them!

Also - I really want the plush elephant, but £50 is a lot! Will see what my willpower is like by the time I get to my gig...

Now I feel old, I was 34 in 2009 :ROFLMAO: but I was going through a ‘can’t be bothered with gigs‘ phase, plus I was ill with gallstones that year so could barely leave the house half the time. Happily my midlife crisis came at 40 and propelled me to start going to gigs as if I were a teenager again, so I’ve been making up for lost time since then!

I went last night to Coventry and it was amazing.
I'm sure I'm being stupid but how did TT get on the b stage for the first time? Did they come up through the stage or were they dressed up and walked through with the rest of the clowns and then got changed?

yes there is quite a few fan videos on Instagram where you can just about make them out. If you look on Gary’s instagram stories it shows them backstage and they have the blue cloud trousers on getting ready to walk up with the other clowns and dancers.
they are surrounded by balloons & wearing masks so it’s quite difficult to distinguish them! Once they are at the balloon they take off the cloud/blue outfits (presume the outfits are discarded into the balloon basket)
They then appear in there black outfits as all the balloons lift as if by magic 🤩😍❤ x

I went last night to the Sunderland show. Completely missed Belinda Carlisle due to the mismanagement of the queues. Over an hour's wait to get in, people everywhere not knowing which direction they needed to be going, not enough turnstiles open, clueless staff and absolutely pissing down with rain made it a very damp, cold and unpleasant experience. Moaning aside....Once inside we managed to see most of The Script, they were fab then I will say Take That were fantastic, a great show so if you've got tickets you're in for a treat!

I heard about that and people not having seats. There was none of that in Coventry

The Script were amazing

I keep hearing that the stadium was a shitshow. I mean they have one job, how come there were no stewards to be seen?!

I think we got lucky after hearing everyone's stories from Sunderland. We got to the stadium around 5.45pm and was in our seats by 6pm. We were at the orange gate. Had a fab night apart from we were at the front of tier and people were walking infront of us literally all night. Obviously it couldn't be helped but it ruined the atmosphere a bit for me, having people wandering past going to the loo at get drinks etc. Also we seemed to be in a very quiet block. Hardly anyone getting up and dancing and felt like I was the only one singing 🤦🏻‍♀️ I know I've moaned a lot 😂 but Take That were amazing as usual. I never got to see the The Circus tour last time so was amazing to see! The Script were also fab!
I've got my fingers crossed they'll do Progress again next 😂

A few people at Coventry were complaining that their restricted view seats were actually behind the sound booth and it meant that they couldn't see stage b or the runway at all and so missed half the show. I'm the same, I complained to ticketmaster that these were more than just restricted but they were no view. They referred me to the venue and they've said essentially you got what you paid for. It's disgusting to miss half a show at £70+ per seat.
Not TT's fault but these venues are too greedy
