Ticket scramble

Tickets for Arcade Fire's UK tour went on sale 12 minutes ago, and are now sold out. But thanks to Welford's speedy fingers on Ticketmaster at the other end of a phoneline while I watched various other ticket websites crash amid the demand, we've been secured admission billets for Manchester Apollo on March 9th. I've never seen them live before, so it's about time I did. I expect it to be quite a life affirming occasion. I think I can feel a jitterbug coming on.
