I cant remember what card i used so could easily end up going to parent- in- laws up in scotland....almost 300 miles away....gahh need our tickets now!!!
Just realised that as well as it being ten years to the month I was at Auto, it's also seventeen years to the month of my first gig at Brid Spa. That makes me feel very old. Something special about Pulp gigs near Christmas though!
I saw pulp for the second time this month (Novemeber 21st) FOURTEEN years ago...half my life ago, wtf!! haha I actually met Jarvis for the first time then too. This december will be my 12th Pulp gig - bring it on!
Kicked myself many times since but I missed out on Magna, and the Octagon Centre gig before that, despite living in Sheffield at the time! Wasn't very organised in those days. Did make Apollo in '98 - can't believe it's almost 14 years.
Glad to hear not everyone has tickets yet - I recently moved house so the potential for Tickets Going Missing is relatively high, so it's useful to know when I should start panicking...
Crap - I was planning on getting a late train to Manchester after the concert but turns out the last train is half 10 and the last bus at 21.10 HELP!! Any ideas of how to get to Manchester after?
I requested (via email) that they hold my tickets at the box office. Didn't want to risk them getting lost in the mail, or whatever service they would use if they actually sent them. I think for the Brixton shows the only option was to have the tickets held at the box office, so I assumed it would be the same for this show...
Something just struck my mind - Imagine if they played Death II?! Would be bloody amazing, especially given it's 20 years since they last played it - and that was in Sheffield
Death II would be on my dream playlist, really hope so - then again it's an arena gig so they may well stick mainly to DC/HnH/TIH to keep folks happy.
I'm still planning on acclimatising my other half (my date for the gig - likes Pulp, but not to same extent) to Day That Never Happened-era stuff on the offchance there's something in the promotional stuff/references. Good chance they'll do something to link in (I hope)
I'm certain there will be a few surprises, there's been plenty on the gigs this year and they wouldn't let Sheffield down. And if Russell and Richard take part it'll be even more special

I have the same problem - trains on a sunday morning don't start until 8am and I'm going to have to get back to leeds. I'd be happy to drink a load of coffee and stay awake until that time but my sister probably wouldn't... I haven't a clue how we're going to get back to Leeds.

I'd love to hear Death II as well. Anything from Separations would be great really.
I might add a poll on PulpWiki where people can vote for the song they'd most like to hear. Is that a good idea? I don't know.
Re: getting back from the gig - some folks I know had the same problem with the Stone Roses gig in Manchester. They ended up getting the first train back the next day at 4-5am or something. Prob not the solution you'd be looking for I'd imagine... (plus first trains may be later on a Sun?) Hope you find a (relatively inexpensive) way round it!
Do the poll, Will! One of Mark or Jarvis are likely to check the site before the gig so you never know, they could well pay attention to their public's wishes.

OK, I've decided to add the poll. It will appear in the next day or two.
Looks like I'll be joining you lot at Russell Scott Hostel
I think the place will be filled entirely with Pulp fans! Perhaps it should be renamed Russell Senior Hostel for a night (especially if he plays the gig!!!)
Death II would be pretty much the dream for this gig, however unlikely. Can't think of a song I'd perfer to hear, to be honest. Though saying that, Death Comes To Town is perhaps an even more exciting option...
Though in terms of Seperations, Love Is Blind is the most likely, as that was actually rehearsed, right? Eeeeeeee I'm so excited!
I'd say the whole of Pulp's back-catalogue is fair game now. Back In LA...Dogs Are Everywhere...? I know they were appropriate to the location of the shows, but I'm sure if Jarvis really wanted to play something he could come up with a "tenuous link" to justify it.
