Disagree with alot of that. Takk is my favourite album and I think musically there's streets ahead of where they were after their first two albums. Especially when they play the older songs live. So much more confident and big sounding.

But hey each to their own.

Also live I've never been disappointed.

I was moderately disappointed by the Olympia show because at times it really looked like they were going through the motions and they didn't seem to be that into it.

Has anyone who ordered from the presale on the Sigur Ros website received their tickets yet?

Pretty sure it said they wouldn't be sent until a couple of weeks before the gig.

bovril

Thanks. I thought I read that they would be delivered any time up to a week before the gig alright. Other ticket sites say that too but they tend to send them out quickly though.

a few days ahead of release, the entire album is available to stream on their site.... http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/

Not doing it for me. I'm losing interest in them.

Listened to Brennistein this morning of the new album. Thought it was very good.

Big step up from most of the songs of the last album, except maybe 3 songs. That being said, in it's entirety, I did enjoy Valtari. It's just that it requires a particular mood i.e. not one for the headphones to get pumped up for the big match!!

Anyway looking forward to November. Saw them years ago in the Olympia. Gave €100 to the touts for the ticket, but worth it.

hhhmmm.. I'm going to They Might Be Giants on the following Monday, wonder can I make a weekend out of it and see Sigur Ros as well.

Sigur ros (awesome intimate band) + O2 (sterile, soul-less cash extractor) = no thanks.

Amazed if they even sell out a single night.

they're playing wembley arena on this tour too, so they're obviously stepping up from the likes of the olympia and brixton academy. will be interesting to see how it goes.

Soul-less, cash extractor!
Compare it to how the venue was before and it's now 10 times better.
View the stage from
Anywhere
Easy & quick to get to the bar
Multiple entry points

As for being as cash extractor, that's what all venues are. I don't know of any venues that pay you to see bands.

Would you prefer them to play a smaller venue and not be able to get a ticket?

I'm still waiting for my presale tickets... anyone else in the same boat? I'm starting to get worried!

Yes still waiting.

cjlawlor

Ok. Glad I'm not the only one! I suppose the email confirmation says "Physical tickets ship no later than 10 days prior to the event" so it could be a while...

Yep but the problem I have with that is there doesn't give much leeway for if there is a problem with shipping . I don't know if there is much we can do though.

I'm in
The same boat and I've since moved house. Not worried though as what will happen is you can arrange to collect the tickets at the venue if you report that you didn't get them.

cjlawlor

Ok, I can relax. I just got this email from Topspin media who sold the tickets for the gig -

'Thanks for your email!

I understand the tickets for this show are due to be sent out in the first week of August.

Let me know if there is anything else we can do to help out!

All the best,
Jim'

Just got a mail yesterday to say the tickets (pre order from Sigur Ros website) had been shipped.

Same.

Bought my ticket today. Was a bit undecided if I would buy sitting or standing, in the end I bought a standing.

Do we know if this sells well?

My tickets still haven't arrived from ticketmaster....anyone else the same?

GLaDOS

Tickets arrived a good while ago from ticketmaster.

Funnily enough almost didn't get them though. Were delivered around the time of severe rain and flooding in Dublin and my girlfriends neighbour found them outside her house.

fichillie

Ah Crap!! Bought the tickets back in March I think, surprised they havent arrived by now.....
