Apparently they're handing out Christmas cards at the concetr with this link on them and download codes: http://pulpxmasgift.co.uk/gift
Mp3 Downloads coming soon
I hate the part of me wondering if Jarvis has been messing with us this whole time and this means new material. (Then again maybe it's going to be a download of tonight's show or something)
Either way potentially exciting

How many of these were given out? The people handing them out to me and OH only had a small handful each, I got the feeling they were limited to people who turned up to queue early. My OH saod she saw people just dropping them on the floor though.
Everyone in my group got one and we didn't enter the standing area until about 19:20 (just before the videos started)... they were giving them out in exchange for our tickets.

So are the signatures on the card real or what. This is such a great memorabilia item, why would you throw it away. If you don't want it don't take it.
Cheered up this morning with the news I did actually get a card without knowing it! We saw Jarvis at Sheffield station this morning. Unfortunately he escaped into a lift before we could collar him to say thanks for the show!
A nice surprise! It's almost certainly gonna be a recording of the gig...feels like a nice 'fuck you' to Blur (or rather EMI's) tactic of selling mp3s of all their big gigs.
Wow, that's unbelievable. Who'd sell that? Sometimes I'm just lost for words.
Either some one who just grabbed a handful from event staff thinking it was worth something huge or a member of the venue staff who hoarded them thinking the same (I'm thinking the later as not everyone got one and it appears everyone there should have received one)
BTW we arrived about half past seven and both of us got a card - though didnt realise it was a Christmas card until 5 minutes before the band got on the stage. Caused both of us to let out a little squeal and quite excited for Christmas Eve now!
I arrived in the standing area about 7.30 and got one. I a bit curmudgeonly about it at the time because I had to hand over my ticket but when I saw what it was I was really chuffed. Hope it is a recording of the gig... or a Sheffield Sex City T-shirt. Really wanted one of those but they only had Xtra Large.
Yeah, most likely a recording of the show. With a DVD to follow, they (or their marketing people) have probably concluded that this will drum up more interest for the DVD which may be be advertised along with the mp3s. I hope I'm wrong and they are something more exciting. Either way, nice surprise.
