Stephen Hewitt had problems on the phone... That's odd. Because at 9am this morning the internet bit wasn't working for me- typically after labouriously entering my card details etc it said there was a problem with "availability". SoI phoned the number where I was told I was at the red hot Belle and Sebastian ticket line. I ordered 2 tickets from a Real Life person with no problems (other than the stupidly large postage charge. If I pay 4.50 sterling I want my tickets delivered by helicopter) She also told me they weren't available on the internet yet. AmI living in a parallel universe or something? (B&S content checked.

Finally, London tickets can be obtained by phoning 0115 912 9199 or by visiting http://www.wayahead.com/sjmmaj/indexbas.html

If you phone the number, the nice lady on the end says "belle and sebastian ticket line" (a good start you may think), but when you say "I'd like some tickets please" she says "sorry you can only book them on the internet".

also as of 9.10 the way ahead site is down although the nice woman there said it'll be back in half an hour.

so don't panic babies.
