MrZigster Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Does anyone know the score with this Jeff Beck at Chelsea thing? I heard about it and thought, "Well, I haven't been to The Shed since I was about twelve", but it turns out it's not at Stamford Bridge. Most places are saying tickets on sale Friday at ten but I found this one site that implied I could get them now: https://www.gigantic.com/live-at-chelsea-old-royal-naval-college-2018-06-15-17-30 Thing is, whatever price tier you select, you can only seem to get offered block Q I don't want to bite the bullet because: How come this is the only place saying they can get me tickets right now (I'm not including known touting sites in this (ooh, hang on, is this a touting site?)). Why only Block Q? Are they the only seats left already? Why do all of the pricing tiers (£45/£55/£65) all pretty much offer me the same seat? Is this a hospitality ticket/table like charity affair? (The sidebar kind of suggests this). Will blocks A-L go on sale as standing/floor tickets on Friday (picture suggests they will also be seating). I deffo don't want to book block Q now if there is the possibility of getting a block A(ish) ticket on Friday. Does anyone know anything about this? Does anyone know this venue? I'm guessing it's no way as big as Stamford Bridge right? 'cause it's apparently a "college"? (Do Stamford Bridge even do gigs)? I've wanted to see Jeff Beck play for at least a decade (I may have bored regular forum members with this). At those price levels and, if it's a tiny venue and, if the above ain't no scam, I'm gonna regret not getting block Q now if I ultimately miss out on Friday. His website doesn't even mention said gig (as best as I can tell): http://jeffbeck.com/tours/ Any good advice very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not showing up now but if there was any on, it might well have been a glitch. The info on the sidebar seems to suggest that those tables and stuff are for the 'Quartermasters BBQ package'(!) so it should mostly be just normal seats. There's a seating plan here for James Blunt's gig that'd probably acquaint you with the venue setup a bit. Don't know anything about it but looking at the pictures of it, it might well be the most upscale outdoor concert venue I've ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just the fact that some punters' sightlines are obscured by a bronze statue thst made me think it might have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in one of the smaller venues last year so I think they’ll probably be supports at a bigger venue now. Depends on clashes I reckon. In answer to your question above: just go through checking out new artists you haven’t heard of. Smaller acts in smaller venues is where all the fun is to be had, rather than waiting hours for The Vaccines at the Academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went last year and couldn't get in for them then, so best of luck this year. That was Key Club mind. And I ended up wandering over to HMLTD who I didn't rate till I saw them so it worked out in a way. Weird with IDLES, I saw them in December 2016 to a 3rd full (at best) night and day, 3 months later they're massive, must be weirder for them as they've been at it for 6 years or so now. Well Done to them I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of getting a ticket to their London Apollo concert. At a glance I'd go to Horrors, IDLES, Cabbage (hated on here, I rate them though), Demob Happy (depending on their new album), The Blinders, TOUTS, and definitely YAK who have become one of my favourite live bands. There;s probably others, I'd look out for a soundcloud or Spotify playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatteredscreens Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Regarding the beach house gigs, what's Troxy like in London? I'll be in Bristol then, just wondering how much of a ball ache it is to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been myself but it is a rather strange one in that the only musicians playing there seem to be acclaimed indie acts. Animal Collective and Chet Faker (acclaimed and indie is questionable here) are two of the most recent acts to play while Fever Ray and The The (and now Beach House) are coming up. Most of the other academy venues of this size are drowned in non-P4K-esque bands. Reading reviews paint a fairly mixed picture. Apparently the venue's lay-out means there are quite a lot of restricted view sections while some really like it. No idea about the travel to the venue though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesecretingredientiscrime Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Like most of those venues, troxy was an old theatre/cinema. it has a section on a different level towards the back, but there’s a few different bits of it on levels and balcony etc above. Limehouse DLR is nearest, but Aldgate/Aldgate east is about a 45 minute walk just down one straight road (Commercial Street). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
