2014-07-05 - City Hall - Sheffield, UK

[gspdt]

The last time they played Sheffield was at The Octagon in 2000! It's been too long.

Wow that is a long time ago!

Can't help thinking that this City Hall gig is going to be one of those stand out shows which is why we are travelling up from Hertfordshire. Really can't wait!!!

I was there. The setlist was sweeeet. ACOS as an encore!!

My tickets have arrived already - happy days! Same very good mailing service that I am received from Royal Albert Hall and Royal Festival Hall (both venues where I saw Steven Wilson). Great Service guys...now just waiting for details to be emailed about the VIP meet and greet!

When did you order yours?

Was is via the DT website/crowdsurge?

I've ordered a platinum M&G ticket on April the 13th and haven't got it (although that's not surprising).

Also, I noticed that it says on the DT website/crowdsurge page that a platinum VIP package, doesn't include a ticket for the show. When I bought mine it did though. Have they changed this or something?

I ordered my concert tickets on 3rd May through the link on then DT website which takes you to the official Sheffield City Hall website.

The Platinium VIP meet and greet that I bought separately DOES NOT include a concert ticket because it is an upgrade package. As you are right it states this on the DT website when you click on the VIP link (red icon). If you have not had actual seat number confirmed (because it is all seated) then I doubt if you actually have concert tickets but only the VIP pass.
I paid £133 for the upgrade and a further £30 each for the concert tickets.

The last time they toured England I think that the meet and greet DID include the concert ticket but this mean't they were more expensive because the only seats available in the package were the first few rows. The current system for Sheffield CH means you are able to decide where it sit regardless!

The VIP details for Sheffield City Hall will be emailed to those going probably a week or so before the actual concert and it is likely that you'll have to arrive a few hours before the doors open or show starts. The VIP entry ticket are to be picked up at the venue box office on the day of the concert with photo ID.

Hope this helps?

[Clancy Wiggum]

Thanks for this 

I've definitely got a concert ticket - checked the confirmation e-mail, so that's fine.

[MajorMatt]

Should be a great gig! First time seeing DT in my home city!!  and 2nd gig of the year
Row AA too, could've kissed the woman at the city hall box office
Hoping we get some more tracks from DT 12, would be sweet but just happy they are playing Sheffield, been way too long ..
Anyone up for drinks before hand??

I'm up for a pint, myself and a non-forum buddy will certainly be going for one, so might see some of you about!

[The Curious Orange]

Got my ticket at the weekend too. 5 weeks to go - can't wait!

[jonny108]

Tickets have come! We so excited. 

[MajorMatt]

If any of you guys would like to meet before the show, I live in Sheffield and could probably recommended a few pubs to visit. Would be nice to meet some DTFers. Drop me a PM if you fancy a drink!

Got my concert ticket now. When I ordered it they said in an e-mail that "if you purchased a Platinum VIP, please note the Meet and Greet will happen before the listed door time of the show and that you will be emailed further information closer to the date of the show".

That's fair enough, but I wasn't told anything about picking up VIP tickets at the venue. Does that mean we get 2 tickets: one for the concert, one for the VIP?

If so, I know nothing about the latter.

[The Curious Orange]

15 sleeps to go... 

[gspdt]

Has anyone received an email with details of the VIP meet and greet yet? or is it too early?

I already have my concert ticket.

[Curt]

1 Week till the concert, got my ticket but no email about my VIP Gold

I'm really interested to see what the set list is like, whether it's simply a shorter version of what they've been playing or if some new songs will appear.

I'm crossing fingers to see The Bigger Picture, Surrender to Reason and/or Behind the Veil make an appearance. Pretty please

Assuming my calculations are correct, it's about 12 hours to showtime! This means that it will be starting by the time I get up.

I'm going to be on the edge of my computer seat come concert time to see if either of these three songs will be played.

A new leg begins, I'm back.

Now I know nothing about this show, but why do you think it'll be shorter? Don't they continue with the evening with format?

[jmarkwilson]

Anybody know what time DT will be on stage?

[Laughingplace56]

soooooo who's gonna give us live updates tonight on the set? 

IF there's any set changes, I think that at least the 5 DT12 songs they're already playing, OtBoA, SDV and FF will be played. Then, if anything, they switch and swap a few others. I think the Awake and SFAM anniversary spots will remain, with maybe different songs from those albums.

I could see something like this:

False Awakening Suite
The Enemy Inside
The Glass Prison (will probably always just be wishful thinking)
--James says hi--
Take The Time
The Looking Glass
On the Backs of Angels
Enigma Machine
Panic Attack
Along For the Ride
The Bigger Picture
-----------------------
The Mirror
Lie
Erotomania
Voices (2 of the remaining 3 songs from Awake they haven't played yet)
Space Dye Vest
Illumination Theory
-----------------------
Home
The Dance of Eternity
One Last Time
Finally Free

It's only 2 minutes longer than the first leg's set, and it's one song longer.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

I do agree that The Glass Prison's return is long overdue. I hope it comes back real soon.

[jonny108]

I'll do my best to post updates throughout the night. I'll definetly be able to post during the intermission. Sat in a pub having a few at the mo   I know the show starts at 7:30. Looking forward to it!

[wraggtana]

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!








I'm in the venue now and they're sound checking with Pull Me Under

[SeRoX]

Please, no!

[Laughingplace56]

Please, no!

It could very well be for tomorrow's Sonisphere show. Festival sets are normally crowd favorites, and I would be absolutely shocked if they didn't play PMU tomorrow. Tonight? I'd be shocked if they DID play it, unless they do it just to be more familiar with it for tomorrow.

BUT, I could be wrong. I've only seen them on the first leg of this tour, so I haven't seen the song in person, so I wouldn't mind it too much to see it if only because it's sort of a DT right of passage to see that or Metropolis live once lol. Other than that, they should be playing TtT if anything from that album, as it's the only song on I&W to be played live yet.

[chaotic_ripper]

How long until the show starts?

[mikemangioy]

I'm not sure but it should be one hour/one hour and a half.

[wasteland]

I'm not sure but it should be one hour/one hour and a half.

I heard it starts at 7:30 PM, which would make it 19 minutes from now!
