(Ironically, this person's also selling Robyn Hitchcock tickets...  now THAT I can understand!)

Price at the minute is only 9.99.  My thoughts are, just bid for the damn things when there's only about 2 minutes to go  (so that no-one pushes the price up too high) and whoever wins shares the tickets with the second highest bidder (assuming that the only people who're gonna be bidding are on this list anyway?  But then, are we not learning that it doesn't do to 'assume' anything lately!).  

Its a point tho, who the hell DID buy up all the tickets if not us?!  (Hmmm... my answer is in the link above methinks!  Well, that and probably a good proportion of industry bods who'll get in free anyway.  Hummmmph indeed!)

I'll do me best to fight in the corner of everyone who wants to go who didnt get tickets, I really will, I promise - but I can't take the pi$$ so if nothing comes of it, dont get too disheartened.  Will report back as soon as I hear anything.  I have a feeling that there will be touts (scurge of the gigging classes!) outside at this rate, so maybe that's an option too?

Who'da thunnk that it would come to this?!  It's bloody ridiculous this is!  I'd like to have seen all those not on here, who have never bothered with the BA's until its on their doorstep, go to the trouble of getting to The Fiddlers a couple of years ago!  Would they have?  Course they bleedin' wouldn't!  It's an outrage I tell ya!  I'm a bit cross.  Who does EMI think are gonna be buying the CDs?!  I'm really trying hard not to be elitist, but 'we' have been singing the BA's praises on here for years - that kinda bodes for getting some kind of special treatment when it comes to a sudden interest in the band in my opinion.  I'm not having people on this list not being able to get in to see them.  I'm not.  It's a f***in' liberty!

Words will be had.  Grrr!

So, what's the 'etiquette' on this?
I'm VERY keen to go (especially as I just finally made the decision to make the 200 mile round trip required on a school night...), but would step aside for someone who's already made the decision to come from further afield, or for someone who has done more for the furtherment of the Aeroplanes' cause (Hendry, Vallis, etc if Lisa can't do anything for you...). I am but one solitary individual when it comes to Aeroplanes gigs, so I'd happily team up to make a bid. Having said all this, my disposable funds are far from limitless, and so I probably won't end up getting the damn tickets anyway. I just don't want to force the price up for a more deserving soul. If nobody posts otherwise, I'll put in my best price tomorrow evening.

I think I prefered it when nobody but us gave a toss about them.

Hmph!
