Stupid site has a block that stops you from using the same credit card twice in succession, so watch out if you're buying tickets for multiple gigs. Leave a few minutes between each purchase.
PS You can't mix tickets from different venues in the same basket.
PPS Birmingham, Leicester and two for the MEN. Woo!
PPS I only just noticed. £40 a ticket. Sheeesh.

Just booked 2 x reserved seats on the James site.
What is meant by 'reserved seat'? (appart from the obvious). Which seats will they be?
Matt.

Lisa - shush! and do Londons - I'll be at Brixton on my lonesome!!
Lawsonium - as for reserved seating - it means you have a ticket for a particular seat. They usually start at the front (or the best seats) and sell back from there - the earlier you buy the better your seat will be (in theory).

What's with the seating thing at Hammersmith?! I'm erring on the side of caution and only booked Brixton so far.. Will wait and see what comes up for Hammersmith on the gereral sale.. Is it def going to be ALL seated?!
Want to do Manchester again, but don't have term dates for next year yet...

Unk - That's good to know but I'm wondering where in the Arena (Which Block/Tier etc they are likely to be? Will I only know this when they arrive in the post?
Cheers,
Matt

I think you'll only know where your seats are when the tickets arrive unfortunately.
I'm REALLY surprised it's all seated - a friend of a friend is the manager, so I'll try and get confirmation.

Forgot to forward the emial to me at work so I could click the presale link.
Then went on to the official website anonlymously, clicked on by tickets, bought two for Birmingham. Been charged £6.20 handling fee and £5.50 postage. Bloody disgraceful. Unless of course I am paying postage for the Morning after, twice. Has anyone ordered tickets without the Morning After, and was the postage £5.50.

bon and mrs bon are booked in for all so far except for Glasgie.
Haven't decided on that one yet. MEN showed as SOLD OUT (for standing) but SEETICKETS still had some.
The whole process sucks (but we know this anyway) and the combined handling fee and booking fee are complete rip off's. Write to your MP's, at the moment they are actually listening!!!

For those of you interested in the Birmingham O2 Academy gig, this venue isn't to be confused with the former Carling Academy that James played in 2007, this is a relatively new venue having openied about 12 months ago converted from the former Dome II nightclub and is a much better venue than the previous Academy...

Done. Dusted. Manchester, Birmingham and Leicester. I am glad that it's the last week of term, as my lesson planning will be reduced to watch a DVD and review it The new Birmingham academy is so much nicer than the old one. I am still amazed no one died from the heat in there on the 2007 tour. We are considering Beautiful Days as well. James are headlining, so it should be a decent set and it's not in Inverness Huzzah for gigs ;D

JohnyYen, the postage is £5.50!!! shocking price. And booking fees are a joke too. But hey ho I got my tickets for Hammersmith. All seating isnt to bad. i went to Oxford to see them, makes it interesting& different something like that.Only went Hammersmith as it was all seating as taking my 8 yeear old to his first gig.(better enjoy it at these prices)
