That's poo, Ghost.


I just received an e-mail from Sheffield Arena with a brief overview of Tinselworm and it said he would be talking about the subject of.... The Majesty Of Emo.

Where are my Bill Bailey tickets? Or should I say. Zeden, Chris and my tickets

Yeah I've been thinking the same...

My tickets were from Ticketmaster and were sent via in a pdf via email for me to print out.
I get back from Paris next Thurs and go to see Mr Bailey on Fri at the MEN...can't wait!

My sister is working that gig on the bar. If you see a fairly small girl with medium length brown hair named Emma there don't say 'hi' cos it will scare the hell out of her. Actually, do say 'hi'.

TO ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE OFF TO SEE BILL BAILEY IN THE NEAR FUTURE...


He.Is.Amazing.

That was the best show ever!!

He told us that Sheffield Arena was the biggest gig he'd ever done, so, hopefully, nowhere else he is playing will be bigger *fingers crossed*

He was hilarious, his music was hilarious (as ever) and he dealt with the idiot hecklers on the end of my row (who were sat right next to me, with the most annoying laughs and awful breath ever!) really well.

He made himself laugh during one of the songs, but you could hardly notice unless you were on the first couple of rows... it was certainly noticable from the second row [/boasting]



To all you other people lucky enough to be going... it's a night you'll never forget.

And you'll never see Asda in the same way again...

Done and done.

Saw him in Sheffield the other night and it was incredible!

I won't say anything to spoil it other than...THE HORN! (you'll understand soon enough...)

All Bill Bailey tickets were supposed to be dispatched by today, and all people who bought through his website were supposed to get emails notifying them that the tickets had been dispatched.

I have not got an email

Anyone else in the same boat?

Mel's were internet based and she got them over a week ago.

Just got back, it was very very good.

He went mad part way through and started talking about flute people. And being raised by snails who took him to their booth...

Where were you sat?!

Can't wait to see Mr Bailey on Tuesday, eeeeeeeep.

When is he going to do American again? He's been here many times but not in quite a while now.

He doesn't have one lined up at the moment, but I reckon he'll be over next year with the new tour.

I saw Sean Lock yesterday, and he was very, very funny. He was able to weave gold out of standing on the stage in a riddler costume for five minutes.

He's still doing that??

He was doing that a decade ago!!!

I'd like to go and see Stewart Lee in December.
... I should really book sometime.

Aww, I thought you guys were coming at the same time as us in Bournemouth???

I was actually emailed the tickets quite a few months ago when I ordered them. I just printed them out last week.

The show was great. Loved it and loved Bill, but the venue wasn't great for me. I think the huge arena just took something away from it. When I went to see the Part Troll tour it was in a little theatre and was more intimate and somehow suited his comedy better, I thought. Also, the fact that we were right at one side and could hardly see the screens (which he used in a lot of gags) due to some poor staging, was a bit annoying. (Particularly as the show wasn't cheap and I had paid the same price as everyone else!)

I ordered my tickets when they came out on Bills website before they went on general release with promises it meant they had reserved the best seats for those tickets...and our seats are shit. NOT impressed

Shit. I did the same.

I'm worried now.

Saw Bill Bailey on Tuesday, it was fantastic! Such a fantastic show. We had really good seats and he rode past us on his Segway (sp?) too!

I'm seing Stewart Lee on Saturday.

Steeewart Lee

Stewart Lee off of the tele?

Poo-ert Wee?

Tickets arrived today.

Just checked my seats and I am LIVID!!!!

I am practically at the very back of the arena, even though I ordered through Bill's website on the sole premise that the best seats were being reserved for fans.

I could have got much better fucking tickets by just going through ticketmaster!

I am SO irritated!

If I'd been ordering on ticketmaster and it came up with those seats then I wouldn't even have bought tickets! I'd have just waited for the DVD.

I am actually going to write and complain right now.

Add my name to the letter, I am a bit pissed. Although last time I saw him i had what could only be described as 'the best seats in the house' so meh...but still. I am muchos disapointed

I've seen Bill in small, intimate venues on several occasions.

However, this is irrelevant to the fact that I ordered through Bill's website on the condition that the 'best seats' would be reserved for fans that did so, and I have recieved absolutely cack seats.

If I'd been offered the same seats on ticketmaster I genuinely would not have bought them, for the very reason that I've seen Bill up close several times for about half, if not a third, of the price!

My seats are not only not the best seats... they're not even good seats!

I think they just reserved all the floor seats for fans, but that does not equate to reserving the best seats. You're far better off sat in the tiers of the front half than on the floor of the back half.

That's a bit shit, innit.

I have no idea how good my tickets for tomorrow night are. Block 6 of the Lower Tier. Good? Lousy? We'll have to wait and see, as I wasn't graced with a seat location plan.

I received the same promise after doing the same thing and I have right at the top, right at the back seats....MEH

Yes.


No, it's 'telly'.


You are never happy.

Ahhh, but it's not a tellyvision is it?

No, but the abbreviation is only 'tele' if you're French, are you French?

In other news, that's a really shoddy way to treat one's fans. You should all write and complain to Bill personally, courtesy of his website. Sure the fault won't lie directly with him, but this is all going on under his name. If he's not careful he'll turn into the Krusty the Clown of alternative comedy.

I've never understood stadium tours for comedians anyway, they strike me as purely soulless money grabbing exercises. I rarely want to see a band in a stadium (unless I know it's going to be an enormous spectacle), let alone one bloke on stage in a suit. If you're going to end up watching it on a screen, you might as well wait for DVD.

Well, frankly I can't wait to hear a big stadium filled with laughter. Gonna be fun.

Sounds awful, happy strangers laughing and enjoying themselves? Eurgh. I'm going to spend my weekend hanging around outside A&E at the QMC sucking in the misery.

Tee hee hee

Have fun Ade-ski, each to their own!

Yeah you guys should definitely complain, that's so shit. I went through Ticketmaster, and yes they sent us the wrong tickets (Hayleigh- I was meant to be going the same day as you! ), but we did get good seats.

You'll still have a lot of fun though no matter where you sit; it's an amazing show.

I'm now really worried that my seats are going to be poo after bigging them up to my sister as she's sitting with me. She was offered tickets from a mate of hers and if they're better than ours she will not be impressed. Ah well, wait and see I guess.

Non.


I was never any good at english either.

I really hope that was a joke.

You do realise I, on a student's income, have forked out over sixty quid for these tickets and not recieved what I was told I was paying for?

They sent me an email back saying that they had no control over which seats the venue reserved for them. That is really not a legitimate excuse... If they had no control over what seats the venue was reserving for them, they shouldn't have posted a huge fucking statement on the website claiming that they were offering the 'best seats'. That is false advertising.

Aye, it's a great finale. I think he was stood there for about ten minutes when we saw him (on Sunday), so maybe he's trying to brave it for longer each night!

Also saw Paul Merton's Silent Clowns tour last week, which culminates with a showing of Harold Lloyd's Safety Last. Absolutely breathtaking.

I didn't know he was touring!!!!!!!! I love Paul Merton and that show was amazing on TV.

It was more a sort of statement of fact. You are never happy. Some times your lack of happiness is justified, like this time possibly, some times it isn't, but still, happy is something we never get to see you be.

It's those happiness filters found on most modern computers. Windows Vista turns simple phrases like ''I stroked a puppy'' into ''I stamped on a puppy'', thus denying anyone the chance of truly expressing how happy they actually are. Microsoft feeds on misery, after all.

*Dusts off Microsoft pass*

Ah, despair sustains me...

I tell a lie though, Ghost does enjoy meeting famous soul or funk musician.

Just slightly less fun if you sit where I did.

Ok, I'm being a little picky, it was still loads of fun, but it should have been pointed out that the area I was sitting in had a restricted view. It just meant that, for some of the jokes, we had no idea what was so funny as we couldn't see the screens. Ok, I didn't expect the best seats or anything, but it still doesn't seem fair.

So what happened?

The way the BIC is set out meant that shit seats were still very good, Bill bailey was amazing, we had 5 spare tickets too, which was a shame really cause Z forgot his phone and no one else could find anyone to come.

They recorded the show live straight onto CD during the gig, so we bought a copy of that too, it was quite a unique show I think, one of the camera men fell off his stand and Bill had to improvise for about 5-10 minutes, and as a result had a broom on the stage which a 'special guest' nearly fell on and it involved an amusing near-corpse.

Bill Bailey is amazing, I love him even more now. Some of the material was from Steampunk last year but it didn't take from it, it was still hilarious second time around.

Tomorrow night I'm going to see Sean Lock in Leeds.

I'm very excited.

They sent us tickets for last Tuesday at the BIC instead of last night.

Who was the special guest?

Just the one?

Had a lovely time at Bill Bailey and had the added bonus of shaking an unfeasibly massive hand but couldn't stay for a drink with said hands unfortunately as the show was 3 hours long including the interval and I had to grab the last train. The show was fantastic and I laughed heartily. I was overwhelmed by the fact that in the 2 1/2 hours of comedy there wasn't a single repeated joke from any of his past material, except for one variation on the classic Aled Jones line.

My mate went to see the show the night before and apparently there was meant to be a bit with a telescopic alpine horn which was absent from our show. This is because apparently the end flew off it on Thursdays show and he then phoned up the help-line number printed on the underside of it.
