Not that I'm aware of. Guess we'll find out today/tomorrow

[Zoo Music Girl]

Just got an email from Live Nation about the London shows. They're not keeping it too quiet! I'll be amazed if I manage to get a ticket.

Hopefully people are blissfully unaware that The Reflektors are Arcade Fire :-)

[the wonderwhy]

They're in Paris on the 22nd, so looks like there will be dates in other countries between Glasgow & Blackpool

i can only find the London and Glasgow ticket pages on ticketmaster / livenation. anybody know where the Blackpool one is?

damn i wish i'd bought the album to get pre sale. bet this is gonna be even more ridiculous than Glasto ticket day

[The Placid Casual]

Bloody hell it's going to be tough getting a ticket for this. Will this be a case where people without formal attire won't get in? I hope so, as it'll be ace, but really hot

i'm sure i read somewhere that people who turned up in normal attire to the American ones were turned away. how pissed off would you be, managing to get a ticket and then not being able to go because of something as silly as not reading the gig poster properly

What the hell is classed as formal attire?

What the hell is classed as formal attire?

blazers / shirts / nice shoes / pretty dresses. doubt they're gonna look too much into it - just not your usual ripped jeans, shitty shirt and battered shoes i guess

[Zoo Music Girl]

Christ, I hope I don't have to wear high heels.

Christ, I hope I don't have to wear high heels.

Me too

[Ed209]

They really enforce this formal attire bullshit?!

What utter w*nkers

[dentalplan]

Me too

Don't lie

I have to say it's really offputting. Especially as it's a weekday and I'd want to go straight from work.

Do they? I doubt very much that people with a ticket will be refused entry if they don't turn up in fancy dress, probably just a way of trying to create a special event or good atmosphere.

Floorfiller said he read that people had been turned away in the States for wearing the wrong clothes. If that's actually true then they've massively gone down in my estimations.

[FloorFiller]

kind of like at the last LCD Soundsystem shows where he requested everybody to wear black and white, but when watching Shut Up And Play The Hits you can see one smart arse guy in the thick of it all with a bright red t shirt on

i think it's a nice little concept but, as people have pointed out, if going straight from work etc it does make it a bit of a pain in the arse

[FloorFiller]

the posters do say 'mandatory' so it doesn't sound like they're fucking about. turning people away is pretty extreme, but you can't say they didn't warn you

Only if you're a non-suit wearer. London people will be fine. Blackpool/Glasgow types: not so (that's me by the way before anyone has a go).

[Zoo Music Girl]

Especially if you're a total scruffbag. Like me. I don't think I own anything even remotely formal!

[dentalplan]

Don't forget you can go in fancy dress too

Oi! Not all us London people are yuppies

Me too. I literally only do scruffbag and then have a really nice suit (that I'd never wear to a gig) that I wear about once a decade.

I think Arcade Fire are well off the mark with that one, but hey, I wasn't going to go anyway.
