The news about the show was all over the local media in Sheffield this morning. It was on Look North and Radio Sheffield and they were pumping it big, even news articles in the local papers. If they add another date after 8th Dec I will be pretty pissed off. I'm keeping my on any presale announcements.

sorry to all who didn't get a ticket - I should have bought a few but didn't think. what I will say is that quite a few people were selling tickets at face value for RAH closer to the night (that's how I got mine the night before) so don't give up hope. December is ages away and Im sure lots of people will discover they can't come

I'll repeat what I said earlier :)

I just bought two tickets for block 208 row H for £66. Anyone who wants to buy them (for face value obviously) let me know. I'd prefer someone who could pay within the next month but if you can't we'll work something out.

(I should add on if there's tickets on the official website still available check there first - it'd be great if I could sell these to someone who didn't have the chance cause they were working or something)

 Just realised I have no idea how much postage would be... but if someone bought them before i sent them out I could possibly change the shipping address to their address and have the box office post the tickets directly to them.

Disco Bible, while it is great and exciting to hear something like 'My Lighthouse' live, or - presumably - Back in LA or Dogs Are Everywhere, it really is more a case of "Wow, I can't believe they're playing this" rather than "Wow, this is an amazing of an amazing song".

Even as a Pulp obscuro-fan, I'd much rather have a Sheffield: Sex City again or a Wickerman a la Brixton again than the, admittedly pleasant enough My Lighthouse at RAH.

It seems odd that the media was, erm, 'pumping this' gig when it had effectively already sold out. Queer stuff!

Well, they don't really know do they. They were already several days behind by the time they announced it, heck even 6music were more than a day late when they announced presale tickets were available!

On the subject of an extra show, there is a concert on at the Arena the day after the Pulp concert so if they do announce another date I'm hoping it'll be for the day before, if at all.

If they add another night on the Friday, fine. If it's the Sunday I'll be gutted

I got 2 standing tickets anyway - my 6 mates are in the shittest seats you could possibly imagine! At least I'll be able to hear the band rather than listen to them talking! Every cloud has a silver lining.

 Same here. A small gig at the Leadmill under an assumed name? It's a nice thought but I doubt it will happen. The Arena Holds about 14,000 so they're trying to get as many people in as possible but a show at the 700 capacity Leadmill would be brilliant.

It would be impossible but it's a nice thought. It's probably the only '80's venue/nightclub left that they've previously played (if you don't count Octagon and Library Theatre etc and I don't).

I'm just astounded that this show sold out so fast. It's an arena gig- hardly Brixton! Nice to know that the people of Sheffield still hold Pulp so dearly. Another date would be nice, as long as I managed to get a ticket...

I wonder how many tickets had to go out as freebies to family, friends, former members, former family and former friends?

Being Pulp, there's a Venn diagram waiting to happen there. Doesn't Steven Havenhand fit into half of those categories for starters...?

There were still a small number of standing and seated tickets left at around 10am at Record Collector in Broomhill in Sheffield today. Was on my way to try the arena having given up on the internet and phone when this was mentioned in passing on Radio Sheffield so I headed there instead and got 4 standing tickets!

There was no queue as they said nobody really knew they had any there.

Maybe try them if you are local or call them if you are not in Sheffield? Not sure if they sell over the phone but worth a try? Seats still available now (1.40pm) as I just called them! Hope this helps someone?

 From Nick's "It's hide under the bed time" comment, quite a lot.

I remember an interview once with Sharleen from Texas from the day when, I think, they were supporting Madonna. She said her mobile was going mental with people she'd not heard from in years all trying to blag tickets. I'm sure a homecoming Pulp gig is much the same for Pulp...

If that is the case there's gonna be an awful lot of people who will be getting a shock that night (I'd say about 13,500 of 'em). Remember that The Day That Never Happened was kinda considered to be the last Pulp concert wasn't it? A fond farewell and something special before Jarvis left for London. Maybe it will the finale.

(I was kidding of course) I think this will be the finale to be honest

 Same for me. Well the coming months (not the first few weeks) I'll check online and I'm pretty sure I'll find a good deal for perhaps a few quid above face value. And if somehow in 5 months I don't find it, there will be loads of touts at the venue trying to get rid of their ticket.

the worst part is just seeing a page full of overpriced tickets on eBay straight away this morning. it's just a fact of life nowadays obviously, but when the official sites are sold out nothing rubs it in more than a bunch of people selling stacks of tickets they bought simply to make money off desperate fans like 2 minutes later?!

I laughed when I saw one auction that had the option to make an offer instead of the buy it now price...with a list of rejected offers. some people had clearly tried to tug at their heartstrings and offer face value or something hoping they'd suddenly have a change of heart :P

I'm wondering whether there will be any warm up gigs. I mean, it'll be months since they last played a venue gig and inbetween only a handful of festival sets. And considering this is a big gig, I have a hunch there will be one. But the question is when, and how. (as in, with a sale for the fans or who shows up first gets in, etc.). It'd be nice to know before I book my flights, but yeah.

Worse than the eBay touts are those fuckers at Viagogo and the like. Subhuman scum.
