Hey Natasha, hows it going? How many Joe gigs are you and Phil planning to go to this year? If you are coming over I will be at Newcastle which could be your last gig as a 49er smile



Hey Kenny how's you bud, are you doing all 7 in October then? Ha-Ha!! I shall deffo be attending Leeds especially with it being on a Saturday too. I gather u'll be attending one or two of the London dates next month too, i'll be there for the Friday night.

Doing great Andy thanks. Leeds is just perfect for you but I will probably just do first and last dates. I will be at the Thursday & Friday London shows so see you in the queue. Will need to be there sharp for Friday cos we have standing tickets.

Thanks for the info Kenny smile Things are going well. We'll be doing the cruise, then 3 cities in the Spring: Chicago, Minneapolis and Las Vegas. Then a few on the 3 Kings tour: NJ, maybe NY, San Diego and possibly LA. It's going to be a fun year. Not sure yet which we will be doing if we do this UK thing. Been checking out where the cities are located and modes of transportation. Don't really fancy driving since it's opposite of what I'm used to wink

Dont blame you. I refuse to drive in the States smile
You can get to all these venues by train, here are the approx journey lengths :

Newcastle - Liverpool 3 hours direct
Liverpool - Leeds 1.30 hrs direct
Leeds - Nottingham 2 hrs direct
Nottingham - Cardiff 3.30 hrs direct
Cardiff - Bournemouth 3.30 hrs 1 change
Bournemouth - Brighton 2.30 hrs 1 change

Re: October 2015 UK dates

We went to Cardiff and Manchester last UK tour. Manchester seems to have been replaced by Liverpool this time. Although we had top price tickets for both gigs, this time around things are a bit tighter so there will be just one show, with cheap tickets at that sad  However, I was impressed with the layout at Cardiff, although a noticeably smaller attendance than Manchester, all the seats seemed "reasonably" close. So, although we are in Wales and Liverpool is closer for us, Cardiff is the choice. Not such a bad choice for the JB fans in the South West of England either.

Out of interest, I have never seen a "giant screen" at one of Joe's concerts. Anyone know if there's a particular reason?

Anyway, 22 hours until the presale, good luck all. smile

Bournemouth Tour Guide at your service.  I'll be happy to help. 
Suggest you PM me so we don't clog up this thread.  There are loads of hotels, many within a short walk of the BIC, depending on taste/budget etc.

Re: October 2015 UK dates

I am now getting jealous, am at work and system doesn't allow us to use credit cards,
hopefully there might be something left for Brighton later this afternoon, otherwise will need to wait for the general sale on Friday. Wish me luck!

Re: October 2015 UK dates

No top priced tickets available at all on the pre-sale for Cardiff which was a bit odd. Thankfully I was just in the market for a pair of "cheap seats" and I got a cracking pair for under £80 all in.

Roll on October........

Re: October 2015 UK dates

Hi Lester,

Let me know via PM if you can't get tickets for Brighton. I may have two spare if you can't.

They're not in the front stalls i'm afraid, but if you're stuck they may do.

Re: October 2015 UK dates

Just wanted to add that I was one of those who said the ticket prices were a bit high for me at the London gigs so think it's only fair to say thanks Joe, these are much more affordable.

Thanks for coming to Brighton too, we don't get that many big gigs here, sadly. Am looking forward to going home on the bus for a change ;-)

As I thought, no pairs of tickets left in my preferred seating area.
I doubt if any more seats come up on the pre-sale so it's a long wait for Friday.

Where is your preferred seating area, Lester?

Re: October 2015 UK dates

the most expensive stall seats for Brighton only have 1 seat spaces left, you could not get a pair when I looked. Look to be pitched correctly then? And good to see that here are options to buy cheaper seats further back. Thank you Management for listening.
