It's not Tony Bennett that bothers me. It's having to listen to 2 hours of Joke Whiley telling us that she discovered elbow and if it wasn't for her they wouldn't be where they are today.

I quite like her Young Cestrian, had a soft spot for her since I won tickets on her radio show, to see Embrace at Abbey Road in the 90's......now if it was Fearne Cotton......

Link to apply is up now http://www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/shows/shows/elbow good luck Smile

Nice one Girl Afraid, cheers for posting the link.

"Please note that the allocation process for tickets is geographically weighted as follows: 75% for Greater Manchester postcodes and 25% for the rest of the UK." : You might yet be in with a chance then, MBV! Smile

Cheers GA & MrsW, I didn't see that nugget of hope when I applied !

I think it's great that they've weighted the ticket allocation so that 75% of tickets go to people with a Manchester post code. This should mean that genuine fans stand a chance of making the show.

Sadly I don't have a Manchester post code so it limits my chance even more. :-(

Good luck all.

Well I've put my name in the hat - here's hoping.

Good luck everyone!

And a chance via the Official site....

Just wondering where it says anything about the percentage of tickets going where ?

I've registered but it only sought my name, email addy and date of birth. Being outside the UK, I wonder if I'm not entitled to be in the draw Sad

Applied, not holding much hope though.

It says in the fourth para on the page Girl Afraid posted, blumoon.

With it saying UK, I'm guessing they imply UK with Northern Ireland? Sad

Oh thanks for that MW........I applied through the Facebook page and there was no mention of it there. Just realised I 'm in Manchester the previous week for a Champions League game so wouldn't be able to make it. Should I pull off a couple of tickets in the draw though, I shall offer them to you lovely people in here, so fingers crossed Rolling Eyes

If I'm unsuccessful and somebody has a spare I'd be more than happy to make a donation to charity in exchange for the spare ticket.
