I would genuinely be forever grateful if someone bought me a standing ticket, I wouldn't be able to give you the money back until September but I would be eternally grateful, and would pay a little extra if you wished.

Hi raw, I can have a go if no-one else has already, I've only had 2 so far, it says you can have 6.

 That would be fantastic thank you so much

 All done, I've messaged you the details.

Im going to buy a ticket on Thursday - if I can get there I get there - I am so bad when it comes to the cold - its winter where I am at the moment and the days are around 18 degrees which is nothing but its sooooo cold!

One last huraahh from me for the greatest band that stalked the earth - in my eyes and ears anyway, all this talk about the stone roses you'd think they were the best...pfft.

I wonder what we can expect set list surprise wise, I'm assuming they may want to play something from each album era. So presumably, My Lighthouse, Little Girl or Dogs & Countdown (or if they want to be kind Don't You Want Me Anymore?) from the Fire era. I imagine perhaps Acrylic Afternoons or His N Hers from His N Hers as a "surprise", Live Bed Show from Different Class, The Fear or Help The Aged or even Glory Days from TIH, and maybe The Birds In Your Garden from WLL.

Do we have to start the setlist hand wringing quite so soon?

i know what I will be doing at work tomorrow - looking at Qantas flights + how cold is it in England in December? Is it too cold for me? Where is Sheffield Arena? Its not that O2 Arena on that main drag in Sheffield is it? Sort of over the road from the Novatel or down from it.....oh my.....and I was just going to go to New Zealand this year....lol.

 Its damp, almost like how it it currently is in 'summertime' at the moment. If youre coming from a milder climit, Id recommend a water resistant jacket with a fleece lining. Gloves, hat more than likely wont be needed.

Its at the big arena, which has crap sound, but its better than the last time they played at Magna (which isnt even in Sheffield, its technically Rotherham). There are premier inns and the like around the arena or you can stay in town at any of the hotels.... The SuperTram will stop right outside the venue and will probably have extra services running after the gig lets out to get people back into central Sheffield within 10 minutes or so. 

A good place to spot the band would maybe be Fagans in the West Bar area of the town as Hawley is known to drink there. Its central, about a 5 minute walk from the main strip. Theres also the Greystones in Netheredge, which is a bit further out.

Yeah CutCopy! Get your arse back to The UK - It'll be cool to have another meet up & since we're in the North this time there will be no shortage of proper pubs to do that in! Sheffield on a cold winter's night is frankly THE quintessential Pulpy place to be.

Presale appears to be still active.

I think I would actually kill a person to be able to go to this. Why do I have to be 6000 miles away?

Would have nice to have been notified on the Pulp mailing list, rather than just whoever happened to be online on the morning of the announcement getting the presale link. Not great for those of us who work nights! Never mind. It's a big venue, so doubt I'll have too much problem getting hold of standing tickets on friday.

So lucky I checked facebook at work today, managed to get a standing ticket

I don't think this is the end for Pulp, just the last gig of the year. Pulp seem to like surprising everyone so anything could happen. I don't believe anything Jarvis said in that NME interview now.

Ok..... Apart from a few minor facts -

I'm due to give birth end of Oct (not a problem, as long as all goes well, I have no worries I can get away for a day and an evening and a day to trek up to Sheffield and back to London)

The presale tickets for standing have gone (I still might get a ticket on Friday)

I have a few issues/dilemmas. Mainly that I do not like giant arena venues, in fact the last time I saw Pulp at one was Wembly years ago and the atmosphere was shite where I was having to sit many miles away from the stage. In fact I was kind of upset that my fave band had "made it" and that meant no more nice intimate gigs at normal venues that you could get tickets for.

BUT - A Sheffield gig does worry me as it could actually be the last gig and added bonus of Pulp at Christmas which I have been waiting for, for years again *sniff*

So, what do we think, really the last ever gig, really? I've never got over the fact I missed the last one due to funds and would hate to miss if the last.... If it is the last.....

Shouldn't really complain - have been selfishly worried they would announce an October gig and I would have to deploy sneaky tactics to be get out of the house at all that month! Now I have the chance at a time that should suit and I'm still moaning.

Argh..... I just don't know. Help?

Well I have to say I'm not too overjoyed at the venue but I'm not gonna worry too much. Where else could they play in December, Magna was so cold it was unbelievable and I wouldn't want to experience that again especially now my joints are starting to creak.

Agreed on Magna, and I was much younger then! Arena can get chilly too though!

In regards to speculation of it being the last one... I dunno. It's a fitting way to end what they are doing now and I think it might be if they aren't going to do any new material...

Who are we thinking might support? I'd rather have an extra long gig with no support obviously...

Daft suggestion of the day: Artery - they reformed a couple of years ago for Meltdown.

It's a generic indoor arena, doubles up as the home ground of the Sheffield Steelers (Ice Hockey).

This explains it pretty well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorpoint_Arena_Sheffield

Relaxed Muscle and Venini will be supporting.

Did the title 'Sheffield Arena' not give that away? ;) - I'm not too keen on arena concerts but Pulp are quite good at them. I think after all the nice venues and big outdoor shows this may actually be a change of scenery. Unless its somebody really great I'd prefer no support & a longer Pulp show, perhaps with a slightly earlier finish so I can go concentrate on getting merrily bladdered! (not until I've heard at least 2 1/2 hours of Pulp, I insist)
