Erm, so while everyone was watching the football, Blur announced something that almost resembles a tour?

I thought they were finished!

Just a few little warm up gigs

Nowt to get excited about. He never said they were finished per se, just implied that a new record was unlikely.

- pretty cheap by todays standards
  
  Besides, I think that's about what it cost to see them at Mile End in 1995...

- £35 is reasonable for the band the level of Blur
  
  to be honest I was expecting the prices to be pushing the uncomfortable side of £60

Who got tickets in the presale then?

*sticks hand up*

Still on sale last time I looked, probably because there's strict anti-touting measures.

- Still on sale
  
  Nobody wants to see Blur then? Crikey.

I think the fact that tickets are still available for most of the dates

...combined with the fact that there are strict anti-touting measures, shows just how bad the problem of people buying tickets purely to tout them had become.

So... this is just a standard sale through a ticket agency - how about they start doing this for a much larger range of gigs?

I could go to 3 other gigs for that

So no.

- What gigs though!?
  
  I could go to 11 gigs for that.
  
  I do wish it wasn't as expensive - on the one hand get to see blur in a small (ish) venue again, on the other......it's £35 and i'm broke!
