Pulp dilema!

[Vogue]

I love Pulp so much and will be devastated if miss seeing them next summer but I can barely afford a Wireless ticket but have no confirmation that they'll play anywhere else!

Do I find the funds for a Wireless ticket or keep my fingers crossed they'll be at Glastonbury?

Reading through the other Pulp thread has given me a bit of confidence but I'm just worried I'll miss out on seeing them!!

I've got the same choice.

I'm holding off buying tickets for Wireless in the hope I don't have to - Hyde Park is massive and a dreadful venue so it should take a while for the show to sell out (depends a bt on what other acts are announced for the day).

Hopefully Glastonbury and/or a tour of proper venues will happen, if not I'll pick up a Wireless ticket nearer the time.

Wireless is not going to be their only gig. Hold out

[LondonTom]

I think a lot of people are, while I don't doubt they will do other shows, this could be there only London date =p and then if they don't do the big G i probs won't get to see them .

However the way the website is set up and that, I think a decent size UK tour is forthcoming.

[Guest blackcockerel]

I've read they're doing an indoor venue tour, so don't worry

[marcwilson87]

Neil seems pretty confident they will be appearing at Glasto, and he is suually right. On this basis I am taking the risk of not going to Wireless...

(If they do not play Glasto I will cry and on Neil's head be it )

[eggyrocks]

I don't understand the main reason people are saying for not wanting to go to Wireless is the capacity (30k for 3/4 stages) yet they are then hanging on to the hope of them playing Glasto?

If they tour (they will), it's going to be arenas.

As for the cost, I can't imagine them being less then 35 quid, so it's a tenner more but you'll get a full day's music (whether there are any good is another topic).

I agree with you, I'm no big fan out outdoor shows due to generally poor sound, but you can say the same about the pryamid or nearly every outdoor show.

Hyde Park holds alot more than 30k, for KOL it'll be more but with all the different stages and corp nonsense the capacity for wireless was 30k last few years and imagine it'll be the same next.

[TomfromStroud]

I love Pulp, but they're not Blur. In my opinion, they will do a full tour, they will do Glastonbury and the tour won't sell out that quickly.

When they released "Hits" in 2002 it was a poor seller, and dropped fairly swiftly out of the chart. Amongst fans they're a big draw, but amongst the wider public they don't have such a profile.

[Rachie]

I can't afford tickets tomorrow so i have to wait... I'm like 95% sure there will be more gigs (and glasto ) but that other 5% makes me feel so sick.

[**claire**]

I'm waiting & keeping fingers crossed too - due to extreme lack of funds.

Same went for Foo Fighters... I hope one or the other being announced for Glasto will mean I made the right decision.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Thought Hyde Park held a lot more than 30k to be honest? Some of the previous shows there have been more than twice that.. Either way capacity is only a small part of the problem - namely that Hyde Park is an awful place for music and Wireless in particular has a reputation for being crap.

[milly16]

And me too,i'm so hoping they play glasto,love them to bits ( dvd on repeat)

can't afford wireless but maybe smaller venues on their tour like my back garden or Brixton

[fullfathom5]

Blur at Hyde Park was very good, not as good as Glasto though!

[tolywoly]

I had the same dilema; and was consdering going to Primavera too.

It's a lot of dosh to splash out to see them twice in just over a week, assuming they play Glasto. However, as you'll see from my sig, I am going to Wireless - getting tickets for Christmas. I'm not complaining, it'll be good. Saw Blur in Hyde Park in 2010, nice setup they had then - just like a proper festival.

[rexclark]

I'm holding out for a few festival appearences and hopefully a tour. I can't really justify spending the cash on a Wireless ticket just now.

[Bort]

If a lot of Wireless tickets are sold, then it will send the message that there is a high demand for the reunion. Therefore, more shows. So buy that ticket, kids. If a better show gets announced, just sell the ticket.

I hope the rest of the lineup is good and it isn't full of suck to placate the chavs whining about how Pulp sucks and is old and Kanye West or the Temper Trap should be headlining again instead.

I wouldn't go to Wireless if you paid me.

Let's not forget Blur were booked for Glasto AFTER they'd already confirmed their big outdoor gig the weekend after, so the same could well be true for Pulp. Keeping everything crossed!

[Guest blackcockerel]

Jarvis gave a very obvious hint via Twitter this aft that they're at Glastonbury so they're doing both

[Guest blackcockerel]

“Glastonbury 2011 Tickets already sold out. And I was really hoping to go. What to do, what to do....”

[Bort]

That twitter is as real as Michael Eavis'
