Taken from the Long Range myspace page:
8:00 pm May, 7 2006 at Sound in Motion Corn Exchange, Church St, Brighton
SOUND IN MOTION....Sound/Spoken Word/Visual Collaboration with Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting), Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club).
And in a foray into the live arena at this year’s Brighton Festival, Long Range will be joining forces with Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club) and Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting) for a one-off collaborative happening. In a return to Orbital’s legendary live form, the event will transplant creative impetus from the desktop to the live arena, with the writers and musicians jamming back and forth to build a multi-layered narrative in words, music and images.
Wouter and I are thinking about going, sounds good to me.

Ouch!
Booking form isn't working for me, either.
And Tim, I'm trying to convince Wouter that he wants to take the bigger car... if this all works out we'd be leaving on the Friday night and returning sometime on Monday. So, Tam or Steve, if you're reading this we'd also have one more spot, too. *IF* we go.

Just sent this mail to the Brighton Festival website:
"Hi,
I've been trying to register with the festival site, and it states:
"The HTTP request failed. The server response was: 500 Internal Server Error."
When trying to re-enter these details, it states:
"The email address you have specified is already registered with the web site. Either use another email address, or call our help desk on 01273 709709 or email the Festival Ticket Office. if you have forgotten your password."
When I request a lost password, one is sent, but it doesn't allow me to log in?
How do I book a ticket for Longrange on Sunday 7th May?
Many thanks,
Nick King

I've now tried to register with a few email addresses, and they've all failed.
The ticket booking page seems closer to working, it now lets you add things to your cart, etc.
Then, however, I found a notice that states general public ticket sales will begin March 3.
