Maybe they come back for a Scandinavian tour again in spring? It definitely would be warmer then

Maybe, but I guess then its 2013 all over again ("screw you Finland! Instead we're going to play 2 gigs for Sweden"   ...)

The good thing with a small country like mine, is that they can play where they want, it will never be more than a two hour drive from where I live.

Sure, we were made to wait longer than the rest of you the last time, its only fair that we have to wait again this time as well...    

Biggest headline show for them in The Netherlands yet. The Heineken Music Hall has a capacity of 5500!

Alexandra Palace in London has different 'Halls' and a capacity of between 2,500 and 10,400 (standing).  Has anyone been to a gig there?

I have been there to see The National and its pretty huge! Its one big hall with the other halls being for food and drink. The best way to describe it there is an indoor gig that feels outdoors as the main halls roof is like a big tent. Sound there's incredible. Its a bit of a treck from the nearest station as it sits on top of a huge hill. The view of London when you get there is amazing. Not only is this by far Gaslights biggest headline show in England its at the best venue in London!!! hope that helps !

I've never actually been there, do you reckon they could sell it out or is that a bit of a long shot?

I think they could sell it out! maybe not straight away but they would get close for sure. The last time I saw them in London was the second night at the Troxy and if you combined the amount of people at those two shows to one night, you'd be getting close to a sellout at Ally Pally.

it would be cool, if they were coming to Luxembourg again or Cologne is good too

Shiiiit....this London gig is going to be a hard one as Ally Pally is not particularly easy to get to from my observations. Unfortunately, I don't drive and have no friends who are into Gaslight either. As for public transport, last train back would be 45 minutes before the set finishes which sucks and would cost me double the actual ticket price. This is gonna take some serious planning.

I hope there are more tour dates to come, because these will not do for me!! I have no time off then, but could fly out somewhere on a saturday and back on a sunday - except there are no direct flights from here to literally any of the saturday locations!! Argh. Why don't I live in central Europe?

Anyone trying out the links for the presale?
I don't get the point of the password? Didn't have to use it to get to the tickets...

Yeah, i used the Manchester one and didn't need to input a password.

Day off at work on the 12.11. and 13.11 : check
Hotel room near the venue: check
Ticket: Friday!

I’m happy to see Deer Tick. I love Againt Me and would have love to see them with TGA in Europe too, but I don’t mind too much as I’ve seen them last week.

yeah haha i just saw them last month, so if i end up going to the LA show (which Against Me is skipping) instead of one of the other California shows I won't be as disappointed as I would be otherwise

im on the presale for London and it says i can buy as many as i like. ANyone know whats going on as i thought we were restricted to pairs?

I think we decided a while back that was a standard term or condition put in there in case they wanted to limit presale to 2 tickets at some point in the future, or for specific gigs.

I've successfully bought more than 2 in a presale before, and i bought 3 this morning.

I've been to Ally Pally for Suede also and it was OK. Whether they sell it out or not will depend on how many new fans they pick up from this album. I would assume they are doing the 10,000 cap one as they're also doing 3,500 in Manchester and 7,000 in Cardiff. Here's hoping.

I think they do buses from the nearest station but I wouldn't go to this if you're on a tight schedule, just book a cheap hostel and rough it for the night

Got my tickets yesterday, going to all five UK dates. Can't wait!!

Trying to get some friends to come along....from the looks of it, I'm gonna be heading up on my own to London.

Cool, im heading to a few on my own also.

Going on my own too. If there's someone here from Switzerland, see you in Zurich, first row

The tour sure looks like a step up in venue size and ticket prices; a proper arena tour by and large. The Killers territory.  No wonder that Brian said in the Q&A that "We have a whole new thing planned live. We're trying to step it up live for this record." Bring on the pyrotechnics, the choir, and the dancing girls. - How do US tour venues compare to these Euro ones?

what i dont get is they don't sold out the hamburg sporthalle show and the dusseldorf mitsubishi show, so why again the same venue, not a smaller one ?

someone must have decided that this new album is so good that it is really going to bring in the crowds, or they surely wouldn't have gone for that size venues
