I think your childs view will be restricted given that everyone stands so the rails will be the least of your issues.  

Thanks. Not bringing child with us to this game, but just not sure my dad (over 65) will appreciate the standing etc!

Can somebody please confirm which blocks in the South Stand form the Singing Section/Section 82 with the rail seating? Is it S25 and S26, or just S26? I have managed to buy tickets for the Leicester game in S25, but not sure whether we want to be in singing section as with an Over 65 and standing throughout game may be an issue. Might consider moving seats, but wanted to double check first. Is there likely to be standing in S25? Thanks for any help.

Based on that I'd be more concerned about the replay than what would follow.

Agreed. We've got a better chance of beating United at home than we have of beating Forest away.

Gutted for Maidstone. Almost had the dream draw against Man City.

Definitely police advice there and so then can fit more chat in before the one sided Liverpool game .

Yea maybe. Although they'll be kicking themselves if Brentford win the replay! It's all due to tv companies getting what they want. As you say, more time to talk about Liverpool! Kicking off before noon is ridiculous! No thought for the fans or the players.

Is the West Brom game seriously kicking off at 11:45am? Ridiculous!

Mr Michael Skinner is the headline act if my source is correct. 

The Streets are playing IOW festival on the Friday night, so could be very much possible.

More pockets of tickets now cropped up in SS and Dolman, but still only 617 seats available in total (450 exc. family sections). If that is genuine then it is pretty impressive that they have sold that many so quickly.

120 just popped up in E30, and more in SS. Clearly something up and more and more will be cropping up as day goes on. Just a case of whether you want to wait for better seats to pop up later, or take the plunge with whatever is available now. No way it has completely sold out.

Just bought tickets in S23. Was hoping for Lansdown, but couldn't be bothered to wait any longer! Shambles, but glad I'm in at least!

Ticket availability is all over the shop! Hardly anything available at all! Can't believe that is correct. Must just be everyone logging in at same time, or maybe not released the season tickets yet. Think I might wait 30 mins for it to calm down! 

Dear God, what a let down! Clearly going for the garage/r&b vibe. Can't see them selling 30k tickets for this.

From what I've heard, most likely a disappointment for us! Especially considering some of the names mentioned so far. I’m assuming we're not quite the target market... I do hope I'm wrong though.

Yea reckon it'll be a disappointment too. Gunna be commercial pop and r&b acts I reckon, most of which I've probably never heard of! Gunna be aiming at the younger target market I reckon! We shall see though.

Are we expecting anything decent, or a massive disappointment? Anyone heard any rumours?

Post seem to think it will be a festival rather than a single gig. Due to be announced tomorrow.

Use Twickets which is the legit platform for resale of tickets. You can't list tickets for above face value. I expect there will be a few on there closer to the time 

I'm not on the lookout for tickets myself, was just saying. Have looked on viagogo etc out of curiosity and there are loads for sale at hugely inflated prices! 

2nd date added for Take That. Sunday 9th June. 1st date sold out fast. Not much left on 2nd date either. Chances are that most have gone to touts though and will be on resale sites for 5x the price within the hour!

From what I could see, standing tickets were £85, then tickets in the price I got, then slightly more expensive at £125. I really did begrudge paying £9.50 PER TICKET!!! booking fee, when it’s an e-ticket you get sent! 

They looked to be £60, £80, £100, £120, and ridiculous £250 VIP seats (plus booking fees). Booking fees were 10% per ticket I think, which is ridiculous as means the higher price ticket you get, the more fee you pay! But it's the same ticket, so why charge more! As if the tickets aren't expensive enough already! Booking fees for shows are an absolute piss take! Especially when they are virtual using their app, as this one is. Just taking us for a ride really. Shouldn't be allowed.

Unfortunately, streaming has caused these high ticket prices, as artists no longer make any money from record sales, so they have to ramp up ticket proces as that's the money maker now. Shame.

No mention of priority booking for hospitality for season ticket holder in email from Aston Gate we had this offer for the Elton John  concert

looks like you have to buy there album to qualify for a pre sales code 

Don't need to buy the album, just register on the link. No purchase necessary.

Comedians don't tend to do outdoor gigs though, especially not bigger venues.

Would be a risk I guess. If the weather is crap then would be a complete washout! Would be ok in nice weather though. First time for everything. 

Rumours of NSYNC getting back together too. That could definitely be one if true.

Could we see a comedy gig maybe? Someone like Peter Kay could fill it I reckon. Sold out arenas by the bucket load in his latest tour. Couldn't get tickets for love nor money!

Having given it some thought, with the talk of up to five gigs, and coupled with the size of act (not big enough for Wembley, but can do stadia), together with current output (ie do they have an album out), if Kylie Minogue is not announced I’ll give you the money myself.

I thought the same. With a new album out, it seems inevitable. Can't think of anyone else of that size with new material out who could do it. Stones? But imagine they'd do bigger venues.

Well, my home shirt from China turned up, for the price I paid I cannot complain at all. I do hate that the money hasn't gone to the club but until they change from O'Neills or deliver something worth the sky-high prices they are asking for I'll stick with what I have. 

Mine arrived yesterday and not so impressed. The collar and sleeves are the same material as the rest of the shirt, rather than elastic, so fairly obvious that it's a copy. Dunno if I just got a bad batch though? Very tight too, so need to order a few sizes up I reckon. GK shirt was much better though (although still tight).

Cracking fight that between Antwi and Cartwright. Chilling knockout!
