I’m in two minds as to whether to get tickets to the MCR gig. 

50/50 as to whether I can go, do we reckon it’ll sell out? What’s the capacity there? 

Well worth a try. best venue in Manchester outside maybe the Albert Hall.

I'd say it's one of the best venues in the country. Out door yet feels intimate, backdrop of canals and trains is really cool, sound is great and no matter where you are you're really close to the stage.

Arcade Fire were phenomenal there and I think this could top it.

For some reason, these have escaped me. Stuck a youtube mix on, first song started with About Today and Bloodbuzz Ohio. Yeah, I'll pop to see these if they're there. Do they have one of those songs you know but you don't know you know type songs?

I'd imagine Fake Empire might be their most recognisable. Obama used it for his inauguration

Presale is ON

This isn't the personal link that was being PM'd by the kind @huh? what? (which is no longer valid) and it just uses the code that they openly posted, so I'm sure it's ok to share this:

I would've thought Bloodbuzz Ohio but yeah, maybe. However, this has to be the best ever usage of a National song. Goosebumps.

England is now very much in the mix when I think about the best National songs following the summer. What a video!

The System Only Dreams In Total Darkness was used on last years Fifa, so if you play that it might be recognisable.

 

Anyone want to hazard a guess at potential supports for this? Would imagine they will have a say in who plays but if it doesnt sell out then we may get someone a bit bigger.

This thread has definitely hyped me up to getting tickets where I was undecided before.

You need to delete the  code off the link and then put the code in on the page and refresh.

I’m expecting to see this message at 09.31 tomorrow...

THERE ARE NO TICKETS BECAUSE THE EFESTERS BOUGHT THEM ALL!

[fightoffyour]

It's still open for me, and I gave someone the same link and they bought tickets

Link not working for me either, unfortunately.

I'm a recent National convert - attempted to get into them for Glasto last year, but they didn't play much I recognised. Castlefield seems like a good opportunity to see them proper. Loved the Arcade Fire gig there.

[fightoffyour]

Maybe it needs the personal link plus the code

Gutted I missed this! Not working for me either ?

[chuckles07]

AF gig looks amazing. They were brilliant at the arena later in the year. But as said above Castlefield looks like a fantastic site. On duty at 9.29 prompt tomorrow......

Hey everyone, sorry if it has already been mentioned but I just wanted to say there is an exhibition in London on at the moment that includes the video in one of the rooms of "A lot of Sorrow" where The National played Sorrow without stopping for over 6 hours back in 2015!

I spent a good hour or so in there and it was weirdly hypnotic and enchanting! It's on until 9th December so just thought I would share incase anybody wants to try and catch it  

It is apart of this and is at the Strand so near Somerset House: http://www.strangedays-memoriesofthefuture.com/

[chuckles07]

That link just works for me if anyone is still trying. Got 2 tickets! Thanks to fightoffyour@efests

I know it’s not cool on this thread but is there a code for Elbow tickets? Mrs Chuckles is mad keen.......
