Belle and Sebastian

No not these guys but these guys have decided to do a tour-yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Ho
wever the only thing is when I go here
on ticket master I find nothing about any dates in Dublin, even thought I heard it mentioned on 2fm and Today Fm not so long ago and that it is also mentioned here (on the tour part) that they'll be playing th ambassador...anyone any ideas what's going on??

Yipeeee anyway:D

honru · 02-11-2005 8:48pm

They are yeah, MCD have confirmed, February 5th '06 at the Ambassador. No on-sale date yet, but it should pop up on Ticketmaster soon.

I usually know what the outcome will be for these sort of gigs but does anyone reckon this will sell out at all? There is a break on their tour scheduele between the Dublin and Belfast dates (which is rare) for a possible second Ambassador show...

Ro: maaan! · 02-11-2005 8:50pm

It'll sell out very quickly. Second show is almost certain. I'd say.

elduggo · 03-11-2005 10:50am

its up on ticketmaster alright, advertising a 9am sale tomorrow. the B+S mailing list said they'd be available from today but that it was advertised for tomorrow (to give the list members a head start).

I've been onto Road, Sound Cellar and Ticketmaster and none are aware of this early sale.

Tomorrow it is so.

And heres hoping for a second show. You can never get too much Belle and Sebastian!!

Rhyme · 03-11-2005 10:55am

Mmmm... ive been banking on a B&S gig for som time now, thank you God.

Im there.

Too true.I think I have my ticket Yay.

Zulu · 03-11-2005 12:25pm

you reckon it'll sell out that quick?
Can't wait myself...

Serbian · 03-11-2005 12:57pm

The tickets are on sale now. I just picked up a couple.

elduggo · 03-11-2005 12:59pm

yep, just got one - cheers.

monkeyfudge · 03-11-2005 1:05pm

I got my tickets...

Thanks for the heads up!

Tar.Aldarion · 03-11-2005 1:13pm

Excellent I think I shall attend it!!!!!

HarryHoudini · 03-11-2005 1:34pm

Yep, Got mine, cant wait.
Seen them last time they played here in the Olympia, and Stuart Murdoch smashed up a guitar Pete Townsend style, it was most funny.

Tar.Aldarion · 03-11-2005 2:36pm

How long till they sell out, in your opinion?

monkeyfudge · 03-11-2005 2:37pm

Well it looks like at least 8 have already been sold to people on this thread alone....

Tar.Aldarion · 03-11-2005 2:57pm

and how many threads like this exist!?!?!?

ah well,better not be too fast!

elduggo · 03-11-2005 3:12pm

very hard to know. I'd have thought not that fast, but I'd have said that about Jack Johnson also, and he was sold out in minutes.

The B+S concert is advertised as going on sale tomorrow so your average Joe Punter will be looking for their tickets then.

Best not to take the chance and get them anyway.

comet · 03-11-2005 5:13pm

This thread should be in Gigs/Events!

Tar.Aldarion · 03-11-2005 5:18pm

We do not want tickets sold fast...just for me

shssh!

comet · 03-11-2005 5:23pm

Yeah but we've all got our tickets so it can be moved now!!

Ah I just think there has been a general deterioration of gig announcements being poeted there because people are posting in sub forums like this. I actually posted there because I hadn't seen this thread, come on mods!!

Franky Boy · 03-11-2005 6:01pm

I ****ing hate the whole age matter.

You do.

Sparkle · 04-11-2005 9:22pm

got my ticket. aw this makes up for not making architecture in helsinki!

Judging by this thread, and a few real life convos, you never know a second date could be on the cards.

Just as long as they don't move it to a bigger venue instead. That would rightly piss me off. Hmm... See them twice in a small venue... or see them once in a big venue...

Olympia.

micromegas · 07-11-2005 8:58am

I desperately want to see B&S while I'm in Dublin. Though it would cost me a ****-all lot of money to see 'em.

Jim · 07-11-2005 2:26pm

Vicar Street would have been nice.

Best gig I've ever been to was B&S at Oxegen. Can't wait to see them.

Franky Boy · 09-11-2005 3:19pm

Has another official date been added.

Jim · 09-11-2005 4:39pm

Nope.

I am so very tempted!

Ro: maaan! · 14-11-2005 5:56pm

Anyone know if seating tickets are sold out, or just not on sale yet for the second gig?

Franky Boy · 14-11-2005 8:26pm

Anyone have an idea who the special guests are?

Karlusss · 15-11-2005 4:58pm

"Cryptic last bit: There will actually be another B&S album (of sorts) released before "The Life Pursuit". In three weeks in fact. But we can't say what it is for a couple of days."

Live album? Eh?

Oh, if you want the rest of the info, you should be on the mailing list...

Tar.Aldarion · 16-11-2005 4:23am

Ok can finally say i got my tickets for this as i had to give one as a present before i could mention that on here.
yay belle and sebastian \o/

Hmm, only got that email this morning.
Odd.

Maybe a post-jeepster singles/ep collection. Granted it would be a lot shorter than "Push bar man..."

Hope its a live album / collection of sorts.
Covers album would also be acceptable.

Ro: maaan! · 16-11-2005 6:05pm

It has to be a live album...

Franky Boy · 17-11-2005 10:17pm

The tracklist is on the site now.

Ah fs. Thought you meant the mystery album...

JimmyK · 18-11-2005 9:11am

I was at a FREE gig for them last year at the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow as part of the West End Festival. All you had to do was turn up, the weather was fantastic and the location couldn't have been nicer.
It was a great home-coming gig for them as they're from that area too.

noby · 18-11-2005 2:41pm

It's "If you're feeling Sinister", live at the Barbican, available for download 6th Dec.

Ro: maaan! · 18-11-2005 5:35pm

Deadly.

Though not the album I'd have chosen.

Franky Boy · 18-11-2005 11:52pm

That should be good!I was contemplating going to that gig but it then just passed me by.
That really keeps on happeing.

Alana · 19-11-2005 12:05pm

anybody else heard about Mark Lanegan hooking up with Isobel Campbell to do some tunes....

Franky Boy · 19-11-2005 5:10pm

No But I did hear that she was doing some solo work, but didn't know the specifics.

I'm a big B&S fan, have almost all of their output (except for Push Barman as I have everything on it anyway), go to see them whenever it's practical - most recently I was at this IYFS gig in London. I'm a sucker for product. I want to be able to read the sleeve notes while listening to the album. If I download (illegally), I see it as no different to listening to an album on a listening post - if I don't like it, I delete it. If I do I will end up buying it. I have never, nor can I forsee myself ever, paid to download an album online.

And then B&S do this. Download Only???? What a bunch of crap. It totally invalidates any arguement bands/labels have against illegal downloads versus owning the actual product. As much as I'd like a momento of the gig, I'll make do with my bootleg MD until such a time as I can find an illegal copy of this album online.

edit: I'm aware that this is for charity an'all, so I won't go downloading it illegally.

lacuna · 21-11-2005 12:36pm

Firstly, it's memento, not momento.

Secondly, I don't see how it invalidates any argument that bands/ record companies have against illegal downoads. Afaik the main argument would be that the band has made the music and it's copyrighted so they should be paid for what's theirs. It'd be pretty lame if the main argument was that it's nicer for fans to have hard copies of the band's material.

Thirdly, it's not necessary to assure people that you'll download it legally just because it's for charity. You'll not get a Blue Peter badge here.
