Thanks for the heads up on the tour!

Would they take a similar slot to Spinal Tap if they were to play?

[Diamond Solitaire]

Doubt it, but I really hope they do as I'm going to be doing exams all the way through May so probably won't be able to make it to any of the dates. Fingers crossed

Just noticed these guys are touring too.

Is that a tribute act?

[5co77ie]

I'd love them to play but with their tour being May and the rest of the world to tour - returning at the end of June might prove tricky.

[MissB]

I completely doubt this and with rumours being £35 a ticket I doubt I'll see them tour either, sadly.. that's way too much money...

there will be one less dick on their dancefloor.

Would be fun in John Peel or Acoustic tent. Don't fancy seeing them as much outdoors for some reason

It'd be great, imagine the binary solo in the JP!

[Wanderlei]

I'd love to hear them do the Hip-hop-apotimus song!!!

£33.75 is the exact price actually... they went on sale to fans today.

Too pricey for me..

This would easily be the best thing thats ever happened to me if they played glastonbury!

gosh ive had a boring life.

[A Man]

Did anyone try to get tickets for this? They seemed to be sold out within seconds, with shitloads appearing on eBay straight off. Something is amiss.

I'm not happy.

I didn't manage to get any by the way.

Like a mug, I couldn't quite believe the Hammersmith tickets were £33 a pop, but still forked out for some anyway.

I was late getting in for the presale yesterday (it sold out in less the 20 minutes, because 9.20 was when I managed to get online!), and this morning the remaining tickets must've gone in less than 5 minutes. I was after 6 tickets for a bunch of friends and I think I was very lucky to get them all together.

As usual, what's annoyed me more than ever is the number of overpriced tickets already popping up on eBay, Seatwave and the like. Bastards.

Worth noting the Hammersmith gigs are all-seated, which might account for them selling out so fast (fewer tickets to go around?).

Cheers,

John.

We got tickets for Manchester in the presale, but it proved very tricky getting through!

It is expensive, but they might not come to England again, so we think it's worth it

[Haggis]

I got 4 for Manchester yesterday too..also all seated. Can confirm, they WONT be going anywhere near seatwave/ebay.

Wouldn't be surprised to see extra dates added

[danger-man]

They are going for silly prices on ebay etc. Hundreds of pounds.

Seems like they're not doing many UK dates, and only 3 venues. Surely they must add more dates. The demands clearly there.

Gutted i didn't get any

[Memory Man]

Whilst i think its terrible these and many other tickets end up on ebay or seatwave, i personally experienced the pre sale yesterday and can confirm that it was not hard to get good tickets at the front of the stalls if you were there when they went on sale.

Its up to people to be prepared to get tickets when they go on sale. Everyone knows there will always be touts for these kinds of shows.

Snooze and lose.

Good luck!
