If you don't mind giving in to the touts viagogo is a great site. Standing tickets at viagogo are currently at around £110/120.

If you ring TM there is an automated message which says they're completely sold out. Gah.

It's weird how absolutely nothing showed up for a lot of us; I know I got in fast, I didn't take long solving their stupid captchas.. this is weird.

I think my mistake lied in Standing being the cheapest; I expected them to be the £70 offer since I imagine everyone would be flocking for standing..

Can't believe I thought LOWER TIER was the standing section, god, when has it EVER meant that! I just panicked haha. Guess I'm gonna try again tomorrow and if I manage to get standing tickets, sell the lower tiers.. I'll probably make some kind of profit but man, what a hassle haha.

Devastating in its Simplicity
Major props to the OP and to Kiame, I don't think it could be put any better than that. Up In Flames is a beautiful composition and I know that by listening to a mediocre quality video; it's worrying how breathtaking the studio version is going to sound if I'm honest!

UK European Winter Tour - 9 dates announced so far (19th Sept 2011)
Definitely getting a couple for London O2! This year I will have seen all the bands in my top 5 list alone!!

Rate "Up in Flames"
I think this song is just beautiful. It IS hard to judge due to the iPhone quality (which is great quality don't get me wrong but for a song with as much subtlety as this it's bound to be an issue!), but I think it's haunting. The strings are just so uplifting and perfect, I can really feel the emotion. I love how it continues subtly building up as it progresses, adding riffs, strings, harmony vocals.. yes it's a simple composition but in this case less is more; if it conformed to the typical massive endings that the likes of Amsterdam, Fix You, The Scientist, Gravity etc. etc. conform to it would have ruined it. A solid 8.5 but rounding up to 9 for the sake of the poll. The studio version has an unbelievably amount of potential!
