    Really? I remember seeing them on the old Phones 4 U advert, so I presumed they played England a few times. I guess they just weren't big enough at the time for me to notice their gigs here

    They played Galway afaik long before they had a TV show (or even a radio show I think).

    Kristen is on most dates and Arj is sole support on the London dates. They aren't both supporting.

    Because it was a "Fan Presale" i.e. People signed up to their fan club were emailed a code that they could use to get tickets before they went on sale to the general public and possibly sell out before really big fans missed out.

    But according to the Fan Club the pre-sale was meant to be today??? Hence the reason I came into work early so I could book them online only to find out the pre-sale was yesterday...

    Argh, didn't get tickets as Ticketmaster held the pre-sale yesterday instead of today, contrary to the email I got from the fan club. Will have to try tomorrow, but I'll probably be stuck at the back.

    Well thank **** for that.

    Two stalls tix for cson.

    I wouldn't be exaggerating when I say I would have paid €100 a ticket to see these guys. I know this will bring the 'you could have them in Ballybogward for €2.27 5 years ago and now they're all mainstream and charging €50 for a ticket' crowd out of the woodwork but **** it.

    Delira with me stira at the moment. :D

    There's a part of me that feels the gigs will be just like the ticketmaster Christmas party...
