    hi all, Meself and my wife have bought two sets of tickets by mistake for the sunday night. They are standing tickets, which is now sold out for the sunday night. If anyone wants them for face value can you PM me. They are physical tickets rather than emailed so collection will have to be arranged.
    apologies Mod's if this is not permitted.

    Lads I have seated tickets for tonight but my mate can’t make it til 9:45. Will I be able to go into the standing section with seated tickets or is it typically strict?

    Usually very strict for health and safety reasons (crowd control).

    There's also no connectivity between seated and standing section, it's two completely different entrances.
    Ya never know though, might get someone in a good mood at the door.

    Yep, it was an excellent Gig! They seem to enjoy playing so much, and have such energy and heart, it was just infectious and the crowd loved it. Easily one of the best gigs I’ve been to this year.

    It was a brilliant gig and would agree with you that they looked to be having a great time. Liked that they highlighted that very few people listen to the whole album nowadays and most people there knew every song.

    Great show.

    It was great; not the biggest Travis fan, would be familiar with the singles and the odd album cut, but I really enjoyed myself - because the band enjoyed themselves. Or at least looked like they did!

    Musically spot on, nice balance between the music and Fran Healy's between-song chat, and was cool to see Rick Wakeman's son on keyboards.

    Cursed again to be stood need in-concert chatters (why oh why do we have to put up with this so much?) but overall the vibe was a good feeling (pun intended), and the crowd singalong for "Turn" really makes you understand the beauty in simplicity when it comes to writing a hit single.

    Yep, Turn was a definite highlight, which was cool 'cos it's probably my favourite song by theirs...
