legendarygirlfriend, I'm coming from Russia. The cost of getting to the UK and Spain, so I switched to London too. Fingers crossed :)

 COOL!!!! Hope we can meet up! I will be coming on my own as I have dragged all my friends to loads of pulp gigs in the past but can't be bothered anymore as I like being with real fans and last time it was fab hanging out with the other people from this forum, night!

Anyway, I got overcome with the chase for a ticket and ended up buying one of the expensive ones that came back on sale about half hour later. Oh shit! I can ill afford this, but it's too late now...

---

 I thought paying just over £55 for a ticket was a lot, but seeing the £82.50 ones.  Ouch!  I would have done it as well though...

what's the difference between the £55 and the £82.50 ones?

---

£55 - standing or seats in stalls, pretty close to the action

£82.50 - In a box, a little further away, less people around you  (only 4,8 or 12 in a box I think), but a uninterrupted view.

It seems as though the presale was alot more relaxed than the normal sale, who'd have thunk it!

 Yes, apart from not having the standing tickets available at 9am.  But yes, it was nice to have the tickets and not have to worry about the scramble this morning.  Likewise the blur/Specials/New Order pre-sale was nice and esy.

Couldn't bring myself to spend £82 on a ticket so went for a circle ticket for only £29! After seeing them at Hyde Park and Brixton last year I'm happy to sit down for a change :)

 That's what I convinced myself of when I got the stalls tickets  I'm too old to be down at the front, and I reckon the stalls seats will be just fine.  Must admit the only time I was in the circle at RAH I was glad I didn't suffer from vertigo!

 Hoping they see some sense and promote the Fire albums!

I suppose it'll give me the chance to buy a drink or two if they do.    I'd settle for a Brixton-like set, but am expecting something more like Hyde Park.  Live Bed Show & Sheffield Sex City would go down well with me as they were only played on the second night and left out on night one.  

Joyriders must be a definite on the set list.

Wow really??? I'd much rather miss the likes of Common People and Babies than anything from the Fire albums. Really hope it isn't like Hyde Park, that was basically Different Class. Brixton was more balanced. Something like that but with Death II, Anorexic Beauty and Wishful Thinking would be perfect

 Nothing before Separations.  Well maybe Dogs are Everywhere or Little Girl (with Blue Eyes) at a real stretch.  I could live without anything pre-Gift, though it would make my day if they did My Legendary Girlfriend.  That along with Razzmatazz and Babies were the songs that got me into Pulp in the first place.  I wouldn't mind some Relaxed Muscle or some Jarvis solo, but the moment anything of It or Freaks gets played, I'm off to the bar. It would be interesting if they did a gig with no Different Class songs.  Well, except I Spy.  They have to play that!

Did these sell-out instantly then?

 More or less.  The stalls, circle and standing all went quickly.  The boxes were available for a little longer thanks to the £82.50 price tag, but I think they all went in the end. I think all nights sold out except for Example. ( I did finish that sentence!)
