Pet Shop Boys Community

Hello,

I purchased tickets during the fan sale assuming that more of my friends would be able to attend. Most have backed out and I am left with two tickets for 9/1/09 and two tickets for 9/2/09. If anyone is interested, e-mail me at joeyj2ee@aol.com. I have the 9/1 tickets on StubHub right now...

Good week for PSB in the New York press (and we know why of course...). Besides that nice article in THE NEW YORKER which is in the Pet Texts thread, there are a couple of references in NEW YORK MAGAZINE as well.

It's the Fall Preview issue, and early on they have a big calendar, and each day has...

...and I already have the tickets for Depeche Mode on October 17th!!!!!! This is UN-BELIVABLE!! PSB and DM together here in Buenos Aires at the same time!!!!!
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
I´m still in SHOCK!!!!...

I received an email from Concertmaps on July 23 - the company who handled the advance tickets for the PSB shows - and they stated that my tickets have been printed and mailed. They have not arrived yet. My tickets are for the Greek in LA. Anyone get theirs yet?

It's strange that the boys aren't playing any dates in Texas at all. They Usually play Dallas and Houston, and on Fundy they played Austin. May not be able to see them at all this time unless I can make it to LV or something. :-(

Hey, so I pestered LiveNation and Ticketmaster and the $5 Citi promotion is now being honored for the NYC shows. Go to Ticketmaster to buy the tickets (I bought a few for Tuesday). I know Wednesday still had some available as of this morning...

Good luck!!!

Need a concert buddy for the 9/2 show at Hammerstein Ballroom. I have reserved seats in the mezzanine. Looking for a PSB fan in my generation (35+), pleasant demeanor, and all-around nice gal. I’m pretty much the same, except I’m a guy. Drop me a line at jscomm@nyc.rr.com if interested.

Attendance, box office scores etc etc. Wonder if billboard has any data.

The Ticketmaster website has the option of selecting tickets for both shows at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York for $8, if you have a code for the LN Friends & Family Promotion

I'm guessing LN = Live Nation but apart from that I can't figure out what this is?

Any ideas?

I'm going to the...

anyone here going to this date?
I have M&G tix,and want to meet others....so PUMPED UP to see the boys again.....and 3rd time face 2 face ! :dance:

There you go...

I must say that Neil looks very friendly with the dancer...

Saw this linked on the OS:

It's got all the tour dates (past and future) mapped out, along with space for fan pics and reviews. Pretty neat concept. :up:

I was thinking about going to Berlin from the UK as I will be on holiday when they play O2 etc

You know this new tour tracker thing, right? Is it only me or does anyone else find it amusing that they want photos from the gigs posting on it, when they tell you no photos are allowed at the gigs (not that it makes any difference to the sea of mobile phones and cameras held aloft in the crowd).

It's a long way

Hope none of the three thousand speed cameras between Suffolk and St Pancras were switched on this morning. Cutting it fine doesn't come close.

Someone has just pointed out we stayed in Lowestoft. That's Lowe -stoft. Which seems unfeasibly funny at the moment. But then that could...

closer to heaven
Just wanted to let you all know that tickets for the forth coming production of closer to heaven have gone on sale today!

Closer to heaven is being staged by City Theatre Co in Brighton between the 22nd and 26th September 2009 at the Sallis Benney Theatre.
For further information...

enjoy.

More to follow...

yesterday afternoon they arrived here, and just a few hours later, they had a press conference.
They didn't wait for a question before mentioning how hot is (although Chris wore a long sleeved sweatshirt). nothing new has been revieled there, AND they were realy nice and calm (even when someone...

Irish Times blog commentary on the PSB performance...

Drico.

Tiny theatre, 2000 capacity. Great show in an intimate atmosphere. Full set list played, 1hr 40mins, photos on the way..

Am I the only one going to Roskilde tomorrow?
Now that you can buy one-day tickets, I would have thought many more fans were going.

According to live nation there was no problems with the sound at the o2 and no one complained!!!

See their responce to my complaint below

Thank you for your email, concerning your dissatisfaction with the sound quality at the Pet Shop Boys concert held at the O2 in June. I apologise for the...

Great night in Liverpool. Same set, so no surprises there. The sound was brilliant... Maybe the best I've heard them in 20 shows. The arena was screened off half way, which I suspect would always have been the plan... Good atmosphere at the front... Crowd seemed to love it. This show really is them...

If you are Tara, I want to apologize for
not getting back to you on time.

I've missed your email for some reason. :?

Just announced by CL on Twitter than a DVD will be filmed of the tour, possibly at the December O2 concert.

Is this a riot - or are you just pleased to see me?
Happy Birthday Neil. :)

Where can I find the listing of tour dates and
which is sold out etc...?

Hi,

I just thought you would be interested to see how the tickets to the concert in Tel Aviv looks like (more impressing than the ones we usually see).

Also, here you can see the boys request list for their visit:

Highlights:

1. All the food should be fresh, served on porcelain.
2....

When I say the public reaction I mean which one of the potential third single was the most acclaimed or applauded by the public in live shows and maybe and because of that the best option for single.

Somebody i know has 2 tickets they want to sell. PM me if interested...

I've got two tracks from the live radio broadcast at Roskilde Festival. Did you see me coming and Pandemonium/Can you forgive her + a short interview with the guys!

If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll fix you up with a link!

I'm just back from the show at the Palladium in Cologne. Unfortunately I've got no photos to share, and since the setlist, stage setup etc. were identical to the previous shows, I'll just give my personal opinion of the evening.

The opening act, whose name I still don't know, since the singer...

Hello,

Does anyone have one spare ticket for the O2 thing on Friday that I could have? (preferably not for sale) I requested 3 tickets, but was only sent 2, and myself and my two friends have already made arrangements, booked travel, etc.

Thanks,
Dave

I think Go West was better but I understand they want to change the order of the songs (including Go West) but I don't know I think it would be better to finnish the concert with a high-energy and classic PSB song but there are no many options.

If you could choose the set list of 20 tracks for the PSB, what would they be, here's mine:-

1. Love Comes Quickly (My personal fav, so would have to open with it)
2. All Over The World
3. Did You See Me Coming
4. I'm Not Scared
5. 2 Divided By Zero
6. Tonight is Forever
7. Discoteca
8. One More...

The first reviews are starting to appear online, all positive about the show. Apparently the show wasn't a big success attendance wise. Hopefully some Finnish forum members can give more exact information.
