I have just had a telephone call from the MEN. Because I have health issues I sit in the Disabled Area at the M.E.N.
The lady there has told me that The Unholy Alliance gig is be moved to the Manchester Apollo, same night. The move has come about because of the lack of ticket sales and the Promoter deciding that the only option is a change of venue.
I have to send back my tickets and they will sort out what they can do for me; probably seating in the side balcony.
I knew it was a bad mistake for Trivium to team up with Slayer because Slayer are living on past glorys and IMO they were never that great in the first place.
If I was Triviums Manager I would cut and run and drop Slayer and turn this tour into a Trivium Headliner Tour as Trivium can sell out the Apollo on their own. If the Unholy Alliance cannot put bums on seats at the M.E.N. then what hope the other Arenas on the Tour? Personally I would rather they have had a "half circle" gig at the MEN instead of the Apollo. That is where they put the stage in the centre and put a curtain around the back to blank out the half empty Arena.
Fucking sucks as Trivium are so much better than many bands that have been around for many years and I would have thought that Shōgun might have been the album to take them one step further to filling Arenas. The trouble with this gig being moved is the next time Trivium want to do an Alliance they are going to have to think seriously about which bands they team up with.
No way should Trivium be on stage before Slayer and there needs to be some serious soul searching by the management of Trivium. If it was me I would cancel the Alliance and send Trivium out on their own tour but then again I am biased and don't give a rats ass about Slayer anyway and will be out of the door and on my way home before Slayer come on.
This is crap news but shit happens.  >

personally, i like (some) slayer music, but Kerry king all he does is insult every other band, they'd do better in sales and shit if they'd let trivium and mastodon headline, and kinda ... stand back lol

so is this serious??
ive had no email whatsoever

Thats just shat on my plans now, i need to re-plan my journey like Chris, hopefully my tickets are still valid and that the train i was planning to catch will still get me to the Apollo, as its not that far from the arena anyways

right Brian just emailed me

Hey Chris,
Yes of course the tickets will be honored for sure. This will be even better and provide way more value for the fans.
:-)
so tickets we have be ok, and we be more closer to the band
TO BATTLE!!

Yes m8 it is.  Sorry to bring the bad news but I got a telephone call earlier tonight. I assumed they would call everybody.

I may have got a call first as my tickets are booked by a separate department i.e. disability.
She just said, same night, same time but a change of venue, did I still want to go or did I want a refund.
I am not a young fan but my son aged 17 is; I am however a very loyal fan. She wanted to know if I wanted a wheelchair space, apparently the Apollo has 4. I may have a problem with my spine but I am not in a wheelchair yet so I asked what about the side balcony to which she said yes.
It would appear she has reserved me 3 seats there and all I have to do now is send my original tickets back.
This sucks I know and I should have asked,"are you going to calll everybody." I assumed she/they would do that as my call came around 7pm.
I have tried calling back on the number I normally book my tickets on but it just rings out.
If you are standing, which I guess most of you are I guess it will just be a like for like exchange. I suggest you call the box office tomorrow if you have not heard from them tonight.
Good luck
NB I would still rather Trivium drop Slayer if they can because they don't need them to help fill the Apollo. Sombody screwed up thinking Slayer are as big as they pretend to be.

this has completely devastated my plans,
all my uk dates visits are fucked now, and will cost me a whole lot of money i dont have to change it all
not entirly sure il be able to make to all the dates i wated to as it will cost me 60% morenow on train tickets as theres less than 4 weeks to go
