Manchester’s favourite sons, Take That, have announced a monumental stadium tour for next summer which includes THREE concerts at Old Trafford Cricket Ground.

Tickets go on sale THIS Friday at 9am.

Tickets WILL be available from the Old Trafford Ticket Office from 9am on Friday, but there will be no provisions for anyone wishing to camp overnight for tickets. The forecast is for freezing temperatures towards the end of the week, definitely not suitable for people spending a night outdoors.

TAKE That fans get ready to party - the manband are back on home turf and ready to thrill thousands heading to Old Trafford this week.

Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange arrived in Manchester yesterday to prepare for their circus-themed live tour, with the first of five gigs starting tonight at Lancashire County Cricket ground.

The vast stage and big top was being assembled yesterday ready for the extravaganza the lads have in store. Meanwhile the lads arrived last night at their Manchester base for the week - the swanky Great John Street boutique hotel in the city centre.

And though they're seasoned pros these days, the band tell The Diary they still compete over who is the most nervous before gigs.

Gary laughs: "We're all split on this. I'm the most excited to get out there. Other guys in the band are a bit nervous. I can't wait for showtime to come and for everybody to see what we've been preparing. It's like a football team playing at home being in Manchester for us."

It's not surprising there's a few nerves - they'll appear before crowds of 50,000 a night this week, including all their family and friends at the hometown gigs.

Jason says: "Numbers don't really bother me. I feel as nervous in front of a theatre of people. I want to do the best job I can, and I get anxious about being able, or not, to do that. I've always been like that."

Oldham-raised Mark says there's a special feeling at hometown gigs. He says: "I think we feel comfortable here. Manchester is a very friendly, very warm place. Our families are all here, I don't know whether that puts a bit of tension in the air because of that." But it won't be a case of Take That and party for all fans heading to the gigs. For some who have bought tickets in the F-stand have been sent letters with their tickets requesting that they don't stand and dance during the concert for safety reasons. It has annoyed fans who planned on having a boogey at the gig.

In a notice sent to ticketholders promoters state: "This stand was designed for cricket spectators and not people dancing at concerts. "

The note goes on to say people wishing to dance will be allowed on to the pitch to watch the show. But it has angered fan Sarah Lindop, from Urmston, who had booked seats in the stand. She said: "I love Take That but this has taken the gloss off the concert for me."

Спасиб, Пух! Мда.. на сидячих местах там точно делать нечего... Получается, что по местному времени в 18.00 там уже все упаковано и к сцене вряд ли проберешься... Если только обманными путями А ребята выйдут только через 2,5 часа...........

*THANKS FOR THAT NIGHT, SUN *

где-то- это где? у меня время ограничено для поисков

Билетов пока нет Но надежда у меня умрет только с выходом ребят на сцену 28-го
Вчера кажись упустила момент. Выкладывали на ситикетс, правда, не знаю какие. но следы остались... Или они как в прошлом году ажиотаж делают. Но сильно сомневаюсь. Сейчас если даже билеты появляются, то их сразу сметают, особенно на последние концерты в Манче и Лондоне..

*THANKS FOR THAT NIGHT, SUN *
