Cant believe they announced Leeds. The new arena has just opened and me and the wife were discussing whether they would stop here if a European tour happened. I normally travel to Manchester, which is no trouble, but to have them on my doorstep is amazing. Now I just need the tickets. Fingers crossed.
So, I told one of my friends at work who grew up in Leeds that PJ was playing there and he was super excited, but didn't know where the arena was. So he looked it up at Googlemaps and told me I should probably check to make sure it's been constructed (check out the picture on Googlemaps) lol.
Yes - First Direct Arena only opened this year -
Saw Vampire Weekend there a month ago and it was a great show! It's a great venue - sounded great and was really intimate because it's smaller and also I imagine any seat will be a good seat because (aside from the fact that it's PJ) the arena is rounded, so the seats are curved on (if I'm remembering properly) about half of the arena wall rather than the rectangular layout you get at most arenas.
SO excited about this tour - was really hoping for a Pearl Jam show next year because 2012 was filled with Pearl Jam and Eddie shows and the tour this year sounded AMAZING and looked AMAZING --- fingers crossed I get tickets.
EDIT: PS: if anyone needs a GA ticket buddy for Leeds or Milton Keynes, let me know. May be going to these shows solo.

If I were to pick shows based on venue alone, Leeds would have been #1 on my list for sure! "13,500 capacity entertainment focused arena"? YES PLEASE!!

Depending on how this lotto goes, I may have to take you up on the ticket buddy thing!
Leeds sounds like an awesome venue! Hopefully it'll get a second show as well.
I've entered for both Italian shows as well. My wife and I had planned to take the kids to Italy the next time PJ played Milan. They are age 16 and 18, so old enough to appreciate all seeing several cities in Italy have to offer, yet just young enough to go on this kind of trip with their parents. Hopefully there will be enough 10C tickets to make us and so many others happy in about 24 hours. Good luck everyone.
Thinking of going either to Amsterdam or Berlin (can't afford both unfortunately).
Anyone experienced know what would be better option?
I mean flight prices, getting to the venue from airport, hotel prices/nearness ?
Thanks for any tips
If it's a money issue, definitely go for Berlin. You can probably get cheap flights for both cities, but Berlin is a lot less expensive than Amsterdam, especially regarding accommodation. Many cheap hostels to be found.
The venue is in a big park in Berlin, it's a very special place. No hotels/hostels in the immediate surroundings, but if you find something that is near an s-bahn (train) going there, you'll be fine and able to get there quickly.
Thank you for your help. I've just entered for Leeds and Berlin I'm so exited and nervous at the same time... :crazy:
Well, I guess we will know tomorrow.
Just put in for Vienna, Berlin, Stockholm, Oslo. This will be the first trip for my wife of 17 years and me that doesn't involve someone's wedding or a meeting. Just pure fun! I can't wait to see which tickets we get drawn for.

Berlin and Stockholm for me. Really wanted to do Amsterdam too, but the dates are not really suitable.
Flights (cheap and non-refundable) and hotels (refundable) booked, now just need the tickets
same selection here. Amsterdam would have been super, but just can't fit it to schedule.
Speaking of hotels. Any suggestions for cheap, yet ok accommodation in Berlin? Preferably not too far from the gig venue. I've never visited that city before, so I'm looking forward to it. For Stockholm leg of the trip I will probably go with some familiar hotels.. Flights I will book after xmas holidays.
And good luck to all for today's lottery! :thumbup:
Hi all. I was lucky enough to get a pair of ten club tickets to the Eddie Vedder solo show at the Opera House in Feb next year. I am going by myself so only need the one ticket. I was hoping there is someone in the same boat as me but with a ticket for the Sydney State Theatre show. Would be perfect if I could get a clean swap.

In for Leeds, though I can't afford it. I know damn well they'll announce a 2nd show as soon as it sells out, but much as I'd love to, I won't be able to.
Something tells me in a few months time, when I'm a bit more flush, I'm going to be on here pathetically pleading for spares to that, or to MK...

Tick tock tick tock. Is it weird that I'm nervous? I'm gonna be busy in the general time frame they said the drawing will be (that's "afternoon"in the US kids, though since I suspect they meant Seattle time, probably closer to dinner time for me) so I'm probably gonna be one of those assholes that's constantly checking their phone.
I'll probably end up dropping it into a pot of boiling water or another hot pan of some sort. :fp:

If I win the lottery tomorrow, I can purchase 2 tickets to the show right? Not just one for me...
You will have purchased two in that event.
