Other big attractions at the Arena!
It will sell out no problem, I'm sure, and probably quickly. Having said that, I had absolutely no probs getting a ticket for Blackburn 2002, there didn't seem to be a rush, but anybody who went will testify to how difficult the place was to get to and from. The Albert Hall gigs, on the other hand, sold out rapid, didn't they? The difference with the arena Manchester is that I think the usual disciples will attend from the far flung corners of the earth and also the casual admirers who are townies and wouldn't travel usually to a gig will buy them up. My biggest fear is if Bear In The Big Blue House Sells out at the arena before Morrissey does I think it will be the end for us all. That said, I do think Bear can dance as good as Morrissey and Bear's songs always carry a strong moral message, not about de-stabilising the monarchy or slaughtering animals, admittedly, but it's a start for a potentially worldy-aware toddler. You must be aware, so says the bear!!
