Here's an update for everyone :-)

The 40th Anniversary Concert - Update 16/10/2020

When will we receive tickets?
Tickets for the event will be emailed to you on Friday (23rd). They will not be actual tickets but a simple url link, which will give you a direct connection to the broadcast (this will be hosted on a dedicated server hired for the purpose). Each url will be individual - if someone else uses yours to watch the concert, you will automatically be cut off. If you have not received your ‘ticket’ by midday on the Saturday (and have checked your spam filters etc), please email us at info@newmodelarmy.org.

Will the broadcast be available on my TV?
If you have a smart TV, then yes. You can test it in the meantime by logging into your email or any internet site. Alternately you can cast from an Apple or Android phone to your TV. If you don’t have a smart TV or smartphone, you can run an HDMI connection from a computer or laptop.

We will have a NMA screensaver in place for one hour before the live event so you can check that you are in the right place; if you are still having problems logging in during that hour, you will be able to email us at info@newmodelarmy.org and there will be someone on hand to help you.

When will the T-shirts arrive?
As said before, if you ordered before 24th September, your T-shirt(s) is on its way and should be with you by the time of the broadcast. If you ordered after that date, you may be lucky but we can’t guarantee it; your shirt(s) will arrive after the event. If you have received a shirt but it’s the wrong size, we are able to exchange it. Please return it to New Model Army Shop, 262 Thornton Road, Bradford, BD1 2LB with your order number and your request.

How late can I buy a ticket?
You can buy tickets (and shirts) right up to (and after) the beginning of the broadcast.

Can I watch it later?
This is a 100% LIVE concert. If you cannot join us for the broadcast, please do NOT buy a ticket. However, it will be available to watch for an indefinite period in a different pay-to-view location, via a link on our website, from Sunday 25th. If you have already bought a ticket for the live event but are now not able to watch, please write to us BEFORE FRIDAY 23rd, and we will cancel and issue a refund.

Will there be special guests?
No. Unfortunately, like everyone else at this time, we are having to operate under social restrictions.

How long will it last? What will the band be playing?
The show will begin at 20.00 (UK time) and will last for between 150-180 minutes. The band will be playing two sets with a 20-25 minute break in the middle. During this time, your screen will display a chat room and we invite everyone to let us know where in the world you are watching from, with whom and to send us (or each other) any message they wish. The band will be performing approximately 30 songs (which, sadly, is only about one eighth of the catalogue!) from all different eras of their history, approximately two from each album, including a few songs that haven’t been performed for more than 30 years.

We’re looking forward to it.

"including a few songs that haven’t been performed for more than 30 years" 

and do I understand it right: I can test my personal url on more than one device to find the best sound/connection (copy and past the link in the mail into my browser), but not use it on more than one device at the same time?

[Viv Savage]

You're personal url will only work once the feed is active. It will only work on one device at a time.

All the best

So am i right when i think that i can do it like this:

One hour before the stream i can use the url to put in my browser of the playstation, see if it's working and the logo/screensaver will be displayed (some sound would be nice) or it won't. And if it doesn't work, i can change the device and use the same url to put in my labtop browser!?

It doesn't mean that you can only use the url once and then it's burned, but you can only use one device using that  url..?

[Viv Savage]

The url will work on one device at any one time. It is not a one shot use and then the url is burnt - it will work continuously through the evening but only on one device at a time.

LMAO!!      I've been so excited, didn't sleep a wink last night.  At this rate, I don't expect to catch a wink tonight either!

No ticket yet here? Is it because I'm in Tier 3?
