Probably - I'll definitely be at Manchester, decide about this doing this one as well nearer the time as long as it doesn't sell out

ahh cheers  definitely official; i wonder how fast they'll sell out ... any ideas?

[cyberdrummer]

It'll take a long time I reckon, if it sells out at all.

[Millais]

It'll take a long time I reckon, if it sells out at all.

so i'll be alright leaving it a day do you reckon?

[cyberdrummer]

I would think so, yeah.

[matsuriman]

Wembley hasn't sold out the last 2 times, and I don't think it will
in 2012.

[moffatt]

I really really hope is isn't all seated.

[Millais]

I really really hope is isn't all seated.

[cyberdrummer]

I really really hope IT IS all seated.

[DreamerTV]

Wembley hasn't sold out the last 2 times, and I don't think it will
in 2012.

It sold out in 2007 for Chaos in Motion.

£32 for standing
£45 for seating

I think my mind is made up!

[Millais]

standing it is.

[Millais]

that's listing DT as playing at the Arena. just realised they're playing there rather than the stadium.. woops!

[COB55]

Do you think the Meet & Greet Package will sell out? Isn't the Meet & Greet Package more expensive than it was on the last tour? This time it's $250, which is £156.

Oh and do you think that if you buy the Meet & Greet Package, the ticket you get will be seated or standing? It says it will be in the first 5 rows of the stage but there are no seats in the first five rows of the stage at Wembley Arena.

[cyberdrummer]

It is all seated, so the seat you get will be in the first 5 rows.

[moffatt]

All seating fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[cyberdrummer]

All seating fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

In all seriousness though, the two Hammersmith shows in 2005 were all seated and they were the best DT gigs I've been to.

[The Curious Orange]

Yeah, but Hammersmith is a very different venue to Wembley. Wonder why they've made the switch to all seated this time? It will make for a very different atmosphere.

[cyberdrummer]

Yeah I agree, Hammersmith is a different atmosphere, but I guess I don't really see DT as the sort of the band who benefit greatly from having a standing area. Perhaps having it all seated might make it a smaller capacity and easier to sell out?

[The Curious Orange]

I think a band like DT are better served by having a standing audience, certainly at a venue like Wembley. People who want to sit can go sit in the tiers. Put it this way - I want to have the choice.

Anyway, we are where we are. I've just fought the frustrations of getting the Ticketma$ter website to load and got my ticket - block C4, to the left of the mixing desk, row 2. Sweet. I'm not paying £50 to be on the floor. Add me to the list - see ya there! 

[ariich]

Why the hell is it all seated? That's so lame.

[Millais]

succccccccks 

[Millais]

+ how awkward is Periphery going to be with seats?!

[Arch Benemy]

+ how awkward is Periphery going to be with seats?!

Haha didn't think about that, should be interesting. Add me to the list anyway, I was going to wait till the end of the month to get my ticket but when I saw it was all seated I thought I'd better grab a seat near the front before they all sell out. Got an A4 seat 2 rows back, I've always been in front of JP when I've seen DT before so thought I'd mix it up and give JR and JM a shot!

[ariich]

+ how awkward is Periphery going to be with seats?!

That's going to be weird.

[moffatt]

I was really excited when they annouced a european tour, but was dissapointed when I found out it was all seating. Build me up, Break me down.

[jonny108]

Strange is the word.

[patthemetaller]

Section A3 Row 16. Brilliant \m/   

[ariich]

Oh yeah forgot to mention, we booked our tickets. Row 12. Still sucks that it's not standing, but at least we'll have a great view!

[Millais]

still haven't booked mine, will have to do it in the coming days i expect. still annoyed that it's seating only but i guess i can't really judge it till after the concert!
