I feel horribly unprepared for this.

Has anyone received the email explaining how to obtain the E-Tickets yet? I have bought a plane ticket and booked a hotel. With only one month left I would feel much more prepared if I had my ticket secured for the show.

Nope. nothing yet. There is a Seetickets app specifically for digital tickets, but nothing showing up there yet or on my Seetickets account.

I'm sure the tickets will be made available much closer to the time.

I think this definitely has something to do with my sense of unpreparedness.

Will this tie-in with the long-awaited full "Since 1984..." range ?

Just thinking ahead to the shows now, and with excitement and anticipation building, I wonder if we'll get a few totally unknown songs...? One's that were worked on and considered in the past and indeed, some they may still be working on..??

We all naturally expect b' sides and "deep cuts" from the albums, but I wouldn't put it past them to dust off some tracks that were elbowed and have lain dormant and unheard over the past 40 odd years (and I don't mean Bounce etc..)

Leaving pretty much confirmed. They wouldn't use the artwork for a t-shirt if it wasn't performed, would they?

But we don’t know if that particular item is for the Obscure shows or not.

You're right, it may be for an unannounced Elysium Tour.

No need for sarcasm, it might just be a part of the Since 1984 campaign it just happen to be a photo that they like. We don’t know yet. ”Leaving” was a single and has been played live approx 100 times, so I would be surprised if they play it. You might of course be right, but I think you’re a bit too quick to draw conclusions.

Leaving will not be part of the show per the press release (https://www.petshopboys.co.uk/news/2025 ... -shop-boys), "PSB perform a setlist featuring only non-single album tracks and B‑sides from across their acclaimed career, with many songs being performed live for the first time."

"Leaving" was an album single (https://www.petshopboys.co.uk/news/2012 ... g-released) AND it was performed on the Electric Tour (https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pet-shop ... 495f1.html).

OK. The original press release (first post of the thread) certainly was more ambiguous.

"The concerts will feature a setlist of non-single album tracks, b-sides and fan favourites."
