i’m going to justify this post as a continuation of this one. I GOT ARCTIC MONKEYS TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!! (and i don’t use the capitals lightly)

these things are like rocking horse shit - i tried to get some when they went on hush-hush-fans-only-sale (read: probably every one of the 100,000 people who bought the album on the first day got that email) and failed dismally. i reckoned my chances tonight were about 1 in a thousand.

most of the tickets from the pre-sale now appear to be on ebay, with asking prices up to and beyond £100 each. i’m now the proud almost-owner of 2 spare tickets, form an orderly queue who wants to be my friend they’re lined up for ceri and his partner, but haven’t actually asked if they want some since they’re in germany. my ebay finger is itching mightily.

must… resist…
