Finally...After weeks of trying, i've eventually landed a couple of tickets to see Morrissey play the G-Mex in Manchester on the 23rd December. It's the last gig of the tour, and is bound to be a cracker. I managed to land the pair of tickets for £52.00 ... not bad considering their face value is £35 + (ludicrous multiple) ticketmaster fees. I love getting tickets for less than face value on eBay... Maybe it's the bargain-hunter in me, but I suspect it's more the slightly smug feeling you get when you feel you've got one over on someone else! I know that sounds bad, but I've been stung a couple of times selling tickets on eBay, too, and could only imagine the satisfied faces of the person who just nabbed my tickets for a bargain-basement price!
I've seen him play 5 times before, with the best being a toss-up between the Olympia in Dublin and Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester (at the Move festival). Hopefully this one will rate up near the top, too!
As an aside.... I saw him play in Earl's Court, London. What is with London crowds? The place was packed, but the vast majority didn't seem that excited at all. Compared with places like Glasgow and Dublin, the atmosphere was very subdued. They seemed to have a "Right, i'm here... so entertain me" attitude, rather than showing up at the gig looking forward to seeing the singer/band that they liked. It really baffled me, and made that gig a less enjoyable experience than it otherwise would have been!
I'm fairly sure this won't be a problem in his home town of Manchester.
Only 34 shopping days until Morrissey!!
