It would be one of my worst nightmares, and I am a wife (well girlfriend) and daughter.

Mrs. Rickos loved them before Robbie rejoined. Now she refuses to go and see them again until he's gone.

Mine for starters. Lets hope it lives up to the expectations of MJ's spectacular comeback tour...

Thank you Domino! I knew all women couldn't have such moronic taste!

Actually I went to see their first tour as a 4 piece just after Robbie left. It was really very good. I think you should go to one of their concerts before rushing to be so rude!!!

My wife and I are off to see Biffy Clyro next - no-way you'd get her at a Take That gig.

Never has someone communicated to me such nonsense. (phew, I was polite)

My wife loves take that, but hates Robbie.
Which is good news for me as she doesn't want their new album which means I don't have to listen to it in the car.

I would without doubt go if some one had a free ticket
A show like that with the logistics would be incredible to witness
Quite some of their songs too

On our intranet there are now hoards of people WHO USE CAPS A LOT screaming "I want a TT ticket!". Strangely enough the one straight after it said "I *need* a TT ticket!". I think the first has taken the latter's family as hostages and the ransom are tickets.
For interest only - are they doing security stuff so people can't sell on their tickets?

DezB - I'm strongly considering your advice on the other thread. So by the end of the evening the answer may well be Yes.

Hardly the last stand for cultural purity, either.

Go away plumber. Wrong thread. Music isn't about f^&%ing LOGISTICS.
That's the last time I'm nice here!

Zokes, I plan on plagiarising your comment for the rest of the day
My wife's last gig was Muse at Wembley Stadium but her next gig is A-ha at Wembley Arena, but under no circumstances would she go see TT... I'll leave you to make your own verdicts on her music taste...

*skims last five or so posts.....*
DezB has the right idea, Wrong Music is the way forward.

You may laugh Soobalias - I've seen DJ Scotch Egg live me. Ah, the logistics ...

A word of warning though, posting it on your facebook status can upset a lot of people. However, it also outs those who you don't need to bother speaking to again....

the amount of money that they're charging for tickets and the projected profits of £250m are obscene, especially in the current climate.
i actually quite liked them in an ironic guilty pleasure kind of way but now i just think that they're a bunch of ****s.

Well, I'm a wife and I wouldn't want to go.
Saw Robbie a few years back cos a friend had a spare ticket.
It was OK but I wouldn't bother a second time.
Infact, I didn't know anything about the ticket sales/tour until a couple of facebook friends started kicking off cos they don't have tickets.Posted 1 year ago # -
We're off to see Elbow in March. When I got the tickets I did a little dance, probably a mere shadow of the type of aerobics the fans of TT are doing when their conformation email comes through. But still, principles the same.

I hope that you could tell me which music event you have been to that doesn't involve logistics.
I've seen over 1000 paying gigs in the last 30 years and obviously after that amount of gigs I've pretty much seen it all. I also have done lots of sound and light gigs and its that that interests me much more than music these days.
Music is about everything from spirit, talent, inspirition and drugs to the valves in your amp to the air in the lorry drivers tyres.
I think I'll be the judge of why I would certainly go and see take that given the choice.

I was surprised to find my wife tried to get tickets but thankfully she didn't succeed!

Hm, hordes of brainwashed, deluded, adoring fanatical followers....

[shakes head] Sorry what was that? [shakes head]
Oh yeah, I'm coming to think that women with TT obsessions are not cool.

The wife actually got 4 tickets yesterday. I'm expected to attend, but might suggest she invites a friend who is a Take That fan.
If I do go, I shall be taking a sick bag for when Williams does the obligatory wounded swan routine (to make all the girls feel sorry for him). So contrived!
It must be tough being married to a very attractive model, having millions and toughing it out living an "A" lister's lifesytle in Beverly Hills!
Either he needs to stop bullshxtting his fans, or if he really is such a whimp, he needs to MTFU!!

If I do go
Get off my thread and go join that part time gig-goer that calls himself plumber.

Me me me me me I think they are cr&& and as for their latest song being the best are people deluded! I hated them as a teenager too but then I've always been a social outcast

I love take that
They're all so pretty

Plumber it wasn't a debate about WHY people do or don't want to go and see Take That it was merely a "who doesn't give a frig about TT concert" and I'm in that band. Not a slagging off other people's music tastes, I like Biffy and Muse, but I also like other extremes.
I'm with you Debz .... oooo I'm glad I didn't waste 8 hours of my life trying to buy tickets for some older money grabbing haz beans Posted 1 year ago # -

What has “cultural purity” got to do with anything in this context?
FWIW, I'm not offended by TT and the current hysteria over their ticket sales, it's not really any different to The Osmonds or David Cassidy or any other pop phenomena. I have zero interest in any current mainstream pop act, I'm more excited about getting tickets for the next Smoke Fairies tour, where there's a real possibility I'll actually get to meet and talk to the girls after the gig. I didn't bother trying for Elbow tickets next year, despite being a huge fan, as I couldn't afford them and didn't really want to be in a huge arena, having seen them in 1500-2500 capacity venues for some years.Posted 1 year ago # -
No it's not about "cultural purity" - Munqe-chick's got it in one throw-away phrase - money grabbing
That is all they have ever been about (just read the piss-poor lyrics ffs). There's no art in what they do, just commerce.
At least Biffy Clyro care about the music they make.(And, come on Plumber - "pretty"?? Maybe Mark Owen could've been called that a few years back)

It's "mum music" as my lass calls it. You wouldn't be able to get her into a Take That, Westlife, Ronan Keating, Mick Bubble etc. concert with wild horses.
I cannot believe that apparently sane people in my office, including blokes, were paying > £100 a ticket from internet touts.

I can't contain my indifference

I've got a friend who's just splashed a grand on tickets for 7 of the shows. Whatever it's her money. I personally wouldn't watch them if they played in my back garden, but then she probably wouldn't go for a bike ride in a muddy field in the rain on a bike that cost a much as a car.
