did you guys actually get a "ticket"? or just a receipt like the first round?

Don't think anyone has got an actual ticket yet. Presumably they'll be issued closer to the date of the shows.

I finally got around to downloading the AXS app which shows I have 1 ticket pending for Obscure but it's not in the app yet.
The other two were a separate order (SEE) which was legit bought on the day, but they aren't on the SEE app, which is slightly worrying.

Hopefully all of these will appear or be emailed soon.

By the way, someone was asking if PSB were AT 7pm, but according to the app it's Doors at 7pm which does make sense. My best guess is they'll be on around 8 or 8.30?

That was me, thank you for clearing that up!

Btw, the only thing that has me slightly worried is the arrangements and who they're working with. For example, I saw them in 2004 with the "laptop versions" which were ok but not really up to their usual level. On the other hand, they redeemed themselves 2 years later with the Cubism tour, and that was before Stuart Price.
Hopefully it'll be good. I think both the fans and N&C have been waiting quite a while for this opportunity, I'd be surprised if they dropped the ball.

I share your opinion. I am waiting for this to happen quite a lot, and it is not going to be what I expect if they are onstage with “the pop kids” or if they change substantially the arrangements of songs that have never been played live before.

are ASX tickets delivered as PDFs? Will probably need to sell mine

all those dark and frantic miles are just too risky and expensive ATM, hard to do it without even seeing the ticket first

Can't speak to the PDFs but understand your pain re travel.

I booked my flights a while ago, and fortunately we are making my Easter weekend more financially palatable with a visit to see my Dad and to see the campus of a potential university my daughter is thinking to go to. As long as I get decent fish and chips somewhere as well, it'll all be worthwhile, but it will still have been an astronomically expensive trip for the short time we are there.

Do you really though? Us Australians have it way harder.

30 hours travel, 3 grand cost.
For Canada it's 7 hours travel and less than a grand.
Me and jasonjason have to miss out because we can't afford it.
