Good news, Mr C - well, good news for those who've already got their tickets. :wink:

Are you able to say how ticket sales are going at the other venues?

As there is no possibility of adding shows elsewhere, I watch those less keenly, but I am told that Nottingham is selling especially well.

Standing tickets at Manchester always seem to sell out, it will be some going if you manage to sell out the whole venue as per 2004 - lets hope so 8)

Talking of attendances....

Is there anyway you can find out how many was in Birmingham last year?


Christine... I'll find a way of getting us tickets for Sunday. I reckon aloud.com will be a start.

I bought mine from the Brixton official site which uses ticketweb, but that is saying sold out now.

Aloud.com uses ticketweb and ticketmaster - both of which are saying sold out.

I'm not going to totally panic just yet as I have a feeling that my cousin has bought this ticket for Sunday as my birthday present.

No.. it's my birthday on the Monday night.

Christine... Remember last year in the Canterbury? There was loads of tickets floating about. I even recall buying them off you last year :|

Didn't I?

I reckon if I sit outside and cry that might work too. :)

Firehazard, you were right.. I love a panic.

But of course. 8)
If only someone had told MissWalshy about the gigs! If only someone had told her they might sell out! :wink:

Still, it does add to the excitement, doesn't it?
And I'm sure you'll get a Sunday ticket somehow... there'll be spares around. Last time I came to Brixton, there were loads around. I even had a spare one myself. May be able to lay my hands on an extra one again this time, though I don't know yet for sure. So don't worry too much. :)

But if you haven't bought your Monday tickets yet, it might just be worth doing so sometime soon... :wink:

Miss W., time to get organised I think. I'll hopefully get to the box office tomorrow. But there is no real need to panic (God, I hope I'm right there :shock: ) plenty on sale on the street or in the pubs before. But then, if you have your ticket in hand, you can get it out and look at it when you're feeling depressed and it does wonders! :D

You think there will still be some at the box office, Chris?

That's so true, Christine! :)

And I reckon there should be no problem getting the odd few tickets on the night, if you don't mind haggling. Last time we came to Brixton, despite the fact that we'd had real trouble getting tickets of our own, and couldn't take the risk of coming all that way without a ticket, in the end we brought down with us at least a couple of spares that other people couldn't use at the last minute... and I reckon a lot of that goes on.

But if you do need to make sure that you've got tickets for all your gang, Walshy, I'd get moving on that pretty quick. You don't want to end up on the night trying to search for too many.

I was thinking of the second night, there should be some left by tomorrow I hope. Are you getting yours there?

The problem is I still don't know how many. But even if I get only five for Monday, I still save £17 or so by going to buy them directly at the box office and not through an agency. Their fees are ridiculous. Or I get a couple extra, there's bound to be some people on here deciding later on.

And I think FH is right, if you need loads it's much too much bother to wander around trying to get them on the night. One pair, yes, but ten, no.

My 4 tickets for the Sunday arrived yesterday :D I've also got 2 for the Monday but I reckon a 3rd will be out of the question for me :? Get what you're given (hint hint to anyone with a spare ticket :lol: )
