    The txt number in the UK closed last night - there could be quite a few tickets making there way to ebay I guess is one option. I managed to get a few texts in but I really don't fancy my chances...

    Meanwhile, Live 8 organisers are in talks with internet auction site eBay to stop people selling tickets for a huge profit. Fans will not need tickets for the shows in Paris, Rome, Berlin and Philadelphia, but details of how to attend have not yet been released.
    Good !!

    That by good fellow is what I am basing the rest of my time on this planet on!

    I never thought PF would reform. They MUST be up to something other than Live8 :confused::confused::confused:

    Im not really bother with a new album (althought with Waters back in the mix it would be intresting) but a tour....

    Im sick as a parrot winding meself up over this the last few days

    Sniff :(

    well its a matter of taste but you cant compare barret era floyd to gilmore/waters era floyd. 2 different bands nearly.
    for me this is the definative line up.

    True, but IMHO they shoud get a longer playing time, even headline it.

    I really cant see them reforming for the first time in 25 odd years just to do 4 songs at Live8.

    There must be something else brewing - a week a earls courts maybe in a few months??

    I live in hope
