"Sorry, your search found no matches in our database" Is that the case for everyone else?
I'm in love with this news though, I've got 3 weeks between school ending and work beginning... I plan on attending as many shows as my bank account will allow... making travel plans as we speak. But out of curiosity, I can't find that any of these venues have Moz scheduled in.

I don't know how I feel about a sit down Morrissey gig....
Whilst it's true you can just stand up, there'll be no mosh pit and therefore none of the essential bumps and bruise momentos.
I hope the managers of these venues know what they're letting themselves in for... I can see the place getting torn apart when he walks on.
That said, maybe the gigs will be purposfully more classical and low-key? Perhaps he'll have an orchestra and choir and all that?
I'd love to see that, now I come to think of it. I'd like to see Moz enter his Sinatra phase. But maybe not just yet.

Presale? (Score:0)
It's ironic because on the YATQ tour, it was so small compared to this little beano and it seems even more unlikely that any of ticket agencies will open up their stalls early.
I remember with the YATQ tour, Ticketmaster had presale up days before the actual tickets went on sale. I would just hate to think they will shut the doors on those wishing for tickets because they somehow feel that with regards to the rack of dates he's doing this time, he's now the equivalent to a boy band in the eyes of the ticket outlets.
I can just foresee a 'Take That' situation, with queues of quiffs outside every venue at six in the morning. Of course I have no qualms with having to queue but I must think of of my skin. Presale seems sensible but again, impossible with the amount of dates. Especially the London and Manchester ones.
So prepare to fight it out, bite, claw, paw, beg or do the necessary for what I assume will be the most anticipated and well received tour of his life. I'm besides myself with every such emotion. I even mentioned 'Take That'. I'll await their lawyers coming down on me like a ton of petals for mentioning their name without consent.
And yes, the question was, presale? Anything else is surely an injustice.
how is this so? (Score:1)
if they're all going on sale on one day, the seetickets.com site is going to be completely overloaded. this happens EVERY time Ticketmonster in the U.S. wants an entire concert tour to go on sale on ONE day. if they grouped dates and released the tickets on different days, this wouldnt happen.
if London tickets are on sale on Friday Jan 20, then good for the people going to those, because the site will be relatively sane. on the day that ALL the other dates go on sale on Friday Jan 27, that is going to be mayhem
are there venue diagrams available for each venue? if you see one, please post the link. thanks.

How many different venues has Morrissey played in the UK both solo and with The Smiths? Second, which of these venues has he played the most often?
I'm guessing it's Brixton Acadamy. But how many times?
If you could compile a list, you will be King of Morrissey Solo.
