It's my 'smile' playlist

For this money, I could have a week in the Costa Wanka.

but would you want to? You'd have way more fun with us lot and at a gig. Buy it now, you don't know when the tickets will sell out, and then you'd have to shell out extra on ebay if you did decide to go. And you can always hostel it or crash at someone's house?

True enough.
I'll give it some though.

Although based on it not being sold out at this point, there will probably be speculators who got tickets with view to making money sticking them on e-bay soon!
