I failed miserably at getting tickets for 1st September - after waiting in the Ticketweb queue it finally came up, I typed all my details in, even went through to the card password authentication page, and then it just came up with System Error. I was completely gutted, as I didn't get tickets for 31st August (I have to work that day) either.

Luckily though, my girlfriend's friend had bought three spare tickets for 1st September and has offered us two! She's made my day, she really has - they're seated mind, but I really don't care, I'm just glad I'm going to be there at all. And after the madness of Wireless, it will be nice to sit comfortably and pay more attention to the music and stage, and not have to worry about staying on my feet or whose elbow that is in my back

I'm going to keep checking back at SeeTickets every now and again just to be sure. Many times in the past, long after an event has been "sold out", I have seen more tickets become available seemingly out of nowhere.

Otherwise, looks like it may be tout time! :(

 It does happen, if people have ordered tickets but been unable to pay for some reason (usually not enough money in their account or mis-typed card details). I wish you lots of luck, and if I hear of anyone offering a spare I'll let you know...

Thanks. Yeah, well I already have two tickets for the first night, albeit upstairs seated. Was planning to go along just by myself on the second night so that I can stand and have a "jump around" night.

I'll make sure I get there, either way. ;)

Towards the end of their interview with Steve Lamacq, they say something about future tours, so I'm hopeful :) Even if reviews of Sunday do seem to be making a lot of Jarvis' comment about 'see you in another 15 years'.

Frustrating that the gigs are being announced in dribs and drabs to gauge demand...

Even worse, the 1st September date wasn't even announced, nor is it on the Pulp People page.  Would have been fairer to put that on sale next week due to "unprecedented demand" and give people a chance to get the tickets.

Maybe the tour hasn't been planned (yet), but as they had a couple of free nights between Leeds and Ireland, they just set up a couple of dates. Bands often do one off warm up gigs prior to festivals in London.  I have caught a few decent (and reasonably priced) gigs thanks to that. 

I expect a fully fledged UK tour in November/December.  Only trouble is with the amount of interest in these gigs they may be playing bigger venues than Brixton.  Just hope they opt for Ally Pally/Earl's Court rather than The O2 or Wembley.

I think he's just going by the fact that the first night sold out so soon and then the second date too.

I just had another look on ticketmaster and it redirected me to Get me In - they have tickets for both nights on there for around £55. I don't think I can bring myself to line the pockets of the scum that deprive real fans of tickets as soon as they go on sale, and then take advantage of them by selling to them at a profit. It's adding insult to injury.

Morrissey would beat them to a pulp.

Considering their merchandise site still hasn't gone live, I reckon they'll last at least till the end of this year

Hey guys, scarletmist.com is a fantastic site for getting tickets for face value. You won't see tickets straight away but in the run up to the gig guaranteed you will see tickets on there. You need to set up an email alert and only a certain number of email alerts are allowed for each event. So if you dont mind waiting a bit and dont want to pay the tout prices I definitely recommend it, I've never bought off ebay thanks to that site.

Didn't manage to get tickets for either date, not sure what to do...if it's touts/ebay maybe better off striking early.
Frustrating that the gigs are being announced in dribs and drabs to gauge demand...surely they know enough by now that there would be high demand to do a nationwide tour. (I'd rather see them in Sheff than London)

 Eamonn!! you should've told me!!!  I managed to get one for myself for the second date.... for sure you'll get one closer to the gig if not outside (remember me at the suede gig)
