Was anyone there???
What did you think?

I thought Geri looked miserable and seemed to have a right attitude.
did you think they'd had a barney before?
Mel B kept forgetting her dance moves/where she should have been on stage
the sound mixing was awful
Emma sounded like a smurf at one point
did you see Geri and Mel B crash into each other? and victoria pull mel b up?
was mel C crying at the end?
Why did it start at 9pm??? sooooo late
why no support act? the ticket said it started at 7:30
Posh did brilliantly -she was very professional and did great and everyone cheered everytime she sang.
I thought it was quite poignant that Geri went down the hole during viva forever ha ha ha and they didn't let her join in for Holler.

i didn't think it was worth the total £83 per person we paid

i was there and im going again tonight and saturday and i have to totally disagree went to the concert at the o2 and the manchester one last night was so much better geri looked fab the atmosphere was amazing. it started at 9 cos they were late arriving in manchester from london and hadnt got there rehearsals finished they were still on stage rehearsomg while people were on the concourse buying drinks and refreshments. the support act was the dj who played music for an hour before they came on. cant wait for tonights concert

My o/h and a couple of her mates are going tonight. They bought 4 tickets off ebay for a total of £220 which evens out at just over £50 each which isn't so bad.

yes i know!!! tickets were 75 each plus booking fees

daylight robbery!

Guess how much programs were.... £15. obviously we didn't buy one of them

i think they should rename the tour the "Pension Fund Tour" cos it will be pretty healthy now!

It didn't compare to Take That's reunion tour which was a show/concert and dramatic, and also 1/2 the price. Although the spice girls were good and we're glad we went. We're booking tickets for Girls Aloud next!

Completely disagree with the review at the top! I thought they were on fantastic form and looked to be getting on really really well (loved the bit where victoria went to knee mel b in the groin)

it was an absolutely amazing evening, i danced from start to finish and loved every single bit of it! headlines sounded great with a lil bit of a rick tinge

geri's raining men was superb and i love the iish jig thing they do at the end to spice up your life!

my feet were killing from all of the hanging around at the start though

the only bad thing was my spice girls poster got absolutely soaked on my trip back to the hotel as it was bucketting down

if you are going tomorrow night you will love it

Take That's program was the same price of £15 though ! I was at both TTs and SGs concerts and personally enjoyed the Spice Girls much more ! Worth the ticket price!

So the OP thought the ticket prices were "daylight robbery" yet still bought the tickets??
And when exactly during the concert did Mel B and Geri "crash into each other"??

I went to see them last night Thursday 24th January and they did a brillent show. Although they were late doing the show was supposed to start at 7:30pm and the girl managing the tickets at the front door said there was no support act so they would start the show at 8:15pm but they didnt start the show til after half 8. I dont know why they were late. Anyway it was a great show and there no mistakes made or anyone of the Spice Girls looking unhappy. And Victoria got the most cheers when she sang her lines on her own. A very great show 10/10 .

I'd have to agree with that. Take That were really good, but I thought the Spice Girls show flowed much better and was more all round 'entertainment', although I could equally say that musically Take That were obviously superior. A big arena show like that is about the whole experience though, and I have to say I think the Spice Girls crowd was more 'up for it' too.

Whatever you think about their music, and it's a little manufactured for my taste although some of the songs are catchy, the fact is they put on a very professional well rehearsed entertaining show.
They do a lot better than tons of other more "credible" artists in their professionalism and entertainment value.
