Koko only holds a couple of thousand max and as others have said you can bet a massive number of those tickets have been squirreled away for VIPs and industry types.

Just to be pedantic, Koko use to be just over a thousand (they might have bumped it up abit with the renovation) and it's not even the biggest venue on Camden High Street. 

I use to go to Koko a fair bit on club and gig nights so I'm glad it's survived both the fire and pandemic. Touchwood they kept the disco ball as well as my favourite spot which is on the floor at the back left, I use to sit on a ledge against the wall so you could get a good view of the stage and not have too many people around as there was nowhere to go from there but people would start walking to you and then realise it's a dead end and make the embarrassed turn around.

Went in via ticketmaster from overseas and it seemed to go from waiting to no tickets available at about 11.58.

 

I've never seen a show with tickets available move quite the quickly and seamlessly to unavailable.

My guess is the ticketmaster allocation for this show for this sale was really quite small.

[Gilgamesh69]

Got two tickets. £500 each if anyone is interested 🙂

I just had a look at the Koko website to see if they have listed a support act but there isn't one however there's now a cafe in Koko. You seem to be able to book a table on the night Arcade Fire are playing.

There were at least two tickets on sale as I managed to bag a pair. I’m expecting them to be at Glastonbury and will ask Win if I get the chance.

I’m really not a fan of the new ticketmaster queue. I can’t figure out if it’s random or not. 
For those that got in the queue early, how did it work? Did the join queue button appear for you before 10? I’ve only ever had it count down to the on sale time then the queue button appears bang on the dot.

Yeah the join queue button popped up at 9.58 and then counted down to 10 whilst I was in it, I had 2 people in front of me in the queue.

[evilduck]

Ah so it is probably putting you in the queue in the order you join, but the button appears randomly early.

Ticketmaster queue places you at the time of the ticket sales not when the button appears

Yeah believe the queue button appeared about 5 mins before 10. At 10 it had the bar with the queue with no numbers on, then at 10:01 the queue bar just went all the way to the right and made me put my code in which I had copied at the ready.

Those lucky enough to get tickets, which tune are you hoping to hear which isn't a banker on the setlist?

Modern Man for me

[kaytee...]

I found out about this gig over a week ago through work and I still didn't remember what time tickets went on sale. Seems like very few were lucky enough anyway

I am hoping for Afterlife. Not sure if it’s played often or not. I can’t believe I scored tickets. Totally buzzing

I had that (through queue, entered my presale code) at about 20 seconds past ten and was super fast clicking it all but STILL didn't get tickets. The sadness is real!

Thanks- should have checked set fm before posting. They really play nothing but bangers. It’s going to be cracking. 

[elgatonegrofabricwardrobe]

I didn't get a ticket so it's irrelevant but I want them to play Vampires/Forest Fire every time I ever see them again. Had tears in my eyes when they played it in Manchester on the EN tour. The last couple of minutes get me on every listen.

Would love Keep The Car Running and Haiti. 

Not exactly deep cuts but they didn't play either last time I saw them.

[unodosseb]

Man so gutted about this, completely failed with the presale after joining the queue 15 minutes before, and even general through seetickets was a disaster. Are seetickets/ticketmaster resale and twickets resale allowed for this event? Hope I can nab one through there over the next few days

Would love Crown of Love but what ever they choose its going to be class. One of those bands don't have filler tracks on their albums.

[TheFieryFurnace18]

Very sad not to get tickets but they'll be back, their 2017 Castlefield gig was the best I've ever been to. Would love them to play modern man or normal person

Headlights Look Like Diamonds is the one

They played We Used To Wait instead, which is also an absolute banger.
