I know there's a few fans on here so what does everyone think of Ghosts Again? I love it - it's made me even more excited for the Twickenham gig in June.

@AreYouShittingMe That’s hilarious!!!
@AngelsWithSilverWings awwwwww

AreYouShittingMe · 18/06/2023 22:16

@AngelsWithSilverWings no, I crashed out pretty much when we got back to the hotel. Had a busy few weeks! What a great story, really wish I'd heard it now!

Just back at hotel after the Berlin gig last night. It was epic, such a vast venue. It was as good as, if not better than, the Dublin show a few weeks back. Have never seen so many black t-shirts in one place 😂

missfliss · 08/07/2023 07:09

@Joolsin I would love to see them in Berlin / would combine wit with such a cool city break too

Lada214 · 08/07/2023 07:13

I'm a huge DM fan since the 80s but I must add I only like very few of their current songs. Love their 80s and 90 though..

We were there last night too and unfortunately I seem to have had a different experience. The sound was terrible. There was such a delay with the size of the venue that it made it really difficult to enjoy watching the stage/screens. Admittedly our seats were pretty rubbish. Also everyone around us was so dour faced, there was no atmosphere!! I had a guy next to me who was wearing the Dave Gahan waistcoat and leather trousers. Assumed he would be a huge fan and he just sat the whole night face tripping him!
I'm glad I went, but for me other gigs of theirs I've been to have been much better.

@Plump82 and @Joolsin I was wondering how you both got on. Sounds like you had very different experiences indeed.

@Yourownpersonaljesus I'm guessing @Joolsin had much better seats than us!

You guessed right, @Plump82 - we shelled out a fortune and were standing in the section nearest the stage. DH was freaking when we bought them because they were so dear, but he was at a U2 stadium gig a few years ago in shite seats and said never again, might as well have watched it on the telly. So we decided to go for it and I'm so glad we did.

Plump82 · 08/07/2023 20:34

I'm glad you shelling our worked out well! Ours weren't exactly cheap but lesson learned!

Chewbecca · 10/07/2023 09:09

Did you see a bunch of new dates in early 24 announced? Another London date (O2 this time) plus Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow.

I did. Saw them in Glasgow years ago so I'm very tempted seeing as Berlin wasn't great for us.

InYourRoom · 10/07/2023 10:24

I had the email! The rumours were true, eek.

tothesea · 10/07/2023 12:11

So happy the rumours were true!! And Glasgow!! No over night stay required so makes it affordable for me. I’m so excited and really pleased I didn’t bankrupt myself to go to London.
So many more dates though..hope they don’t overdo it..don’t want Dave to do himself a mischief!

847arc · 10/07/2023 15:22

Yay! Nearly booked for Twickenham but decided not to as travel would have been a major and expensive pita.

Chewbecca · 10/07/2023 16:05

I loved the Twickenham gig so am actually tempted to go again. The set list was a great mix of old and new.
Only problem is O2 you either pay a fortune or are up in the gods.

SwankyPants · 10/07/2023 16:16

Another big fan here, planning on Birmingham!
Love Ghosts Again, possibly in my top 3

Yay! Going to try for the O2 as I'm only about half an hour away. There's not many dates though is there? Fingers crossed we'll all get some.

More concerts - I'll be bankrupt! Going to try for Dublin for sure and possibly another mainland Europe one.

Well, we have tickets! My friend got them in the O2 presale. She started trying at 8.30 this morning, and finally got to the front of the queue after 22 minutes only to get a message saying there were no more tickets. She tried again this afternoon and managed to get seats. They're not the best but I'm so grateful that she manged to get any at all. There were no standing tickets left this afternoon. Can't believe how much they cost - £145 including fees!!! Did anyone else get tickets?

Chewbecca · 12/07/2023 18:55

Blimey, that is a lot! It will be fab. I haven't tried.

Plump82 · 14/07/2023 10:56

Well I had a look for Glasgow and the worst seats in the place are £107 which is ridiculous!

AreYouShittingMe · 14/07/2023 13:33

Managed to get tickets for Manchester! Woo hoo! Similar weird thing happened to me- tried for tickets first thing in the presale, nothing. Then tried again later and there were loads of options. Feels ok to go and see them again on the same tour, because it's a different year 🤣
