Where from Dave?

[Stoney]

Only from the venue or (hopefully) online??? Buggeration if in person only.....Not gonna be in 'Ometown on satdi... WAHH!!!!!

[LCG]

Why are they doing this anyway?

[Marloes]

I was asking myself the same: why?
Seems the venue is making quite a big thing out of this gig.
Well, I m not going to fly over to the UK just to buy a pre sale ticket at some venue's door.
I'll (have to) wait till Monday.

I presume it's to give the Bradford locals a chance to get a ticket before the hordes (i.e. Us) snaffle them all on line.

That's almost exactly what I was about to write, and probably because this was (I think) originally announced as a bit of a "thank you to Bradford" gig.

[Marloes]

I almost feel guilty and not welcome, being a Dutchie who's travelling abroad to see NMA in their hometown.
But on the other hand; I will be staying in Bradford for 2,5 days so I am sure the local shops, restaurants
and hotels are happy to see me ..

Marloes - don't feel guilty and I can guarantee you will be welcome!!!

Apparently only 50 tickets available and only from the box office at the venue.

This is over on Facebook:

"Live Lounge at Utopia
Ok, to save any confusion, or telling offs from P13, I'll start again in laymans terms!!! Make sure you are comfy as this could take a while!!!

This Saturday 28th April 2012, we are releasing 50 (Fifty) NMA (New model Army - Random Men Only) tickets for sale for the gig they are playing at The Live Lounge Bradford on Thursday 28th June 2012.

These 50 (Fifty) tickets for the above gig will go on sale from 10am (10:00hrs) and will be on sale ONLY from the venue's box office, this is situated in the main entrance of the building, the address for The Live Lounge Bradford is:
29 - 31 Westgate
Bradford
West Yorkshire
BD1 2QT
And to save anymore confusion, this is in England, which is part of the United Kingdom!!

Now the statement, "ONLY available from the box office" means that you can't buy these 50 (Fifty) tickets over telephone.

There will be signage on the main entrance doors stating that you have come to the correct building to hopefully have the chance to purchase yourself a ticket!!

With there only being 50 (Fifty) tickets on sale on Saturday 28th April 2012, these will be on a first come first served basis!!!

Hope this info helps "

Comes over a bit stroppy to me! 

[Erekosë]

Sarcastic so and so... might call them and ask if I can buy a ticket over the phone as the info was a bit ambiguous... 

Also, anyone have any idea how many tickets they are selling on the day?

[Stoney]

It "says" 50 will be sold......... hmmmmmmmmm Weird opening the box office JUST fer 50 tickets........ Curiouser and curiouser.......

Everyone here at NMAHQ, and that includes the band themselves, are rather taken aback by this statement from The Utopia. The person who wrote this on Facebook is not the person we have been dealing with at the venue, who is very excited about NMA playing there and has been genuinely helpful. We can only apologise to anyone who has been offended by the sarcastic and, at one point, seemingly zenophobic tone of this statement.

The original idea behind the pre-sale was to allow Bradfordians the chance to buy tickets before the rest go on sale through Seetickets on Monday 30th April. We will be putting up a link for these tickets Monday morning.

Can I just say that I am quite glad they are doing the presale as I will be working at 10am on Monday and am not allowed access to the internet at work so wouldn't stand a chance of getting a ticket....I think that may possibly have been part of their thinking as well.  I would be very suprised if it doesnt sell out really quickly so it gives those of us who cannot get online a chance to go get tickets

[Stoney]

That's fine, but the snotty tone is a bit off. Plus the fact that a number of people ARE traveling from abroard, this all smells of mates of mates getting tickets to flog at big money on the night. Folks with no interest in going to the gig, or in NMA come to that........
Very odd, and not ideal to say the least......
