Where's that from? Hoping a better site than Ticketmaster are selling.

I remember when I was a student I was able to get cheap tickets to events at Southbank (inc Meltdown). Not sure if it will still apply with something like this though. They have an under 30 scheme as well but doubt this gig will come into it.

After getting tickets for Manchester and now having to sell them due to a balls up, I feel the stars are aligning for me on this one.

Monday off work next week so free to get tickets. 

Thursday is the easiest day for me to get to a gig in London.

It’s on.

Gotcha, had a quick look at membership then realised it was 75 quid!!!

Don't suppose anyone on here has one?

Anyone bought directly through the Southbank site? Is it one of those where there's a queue that opens half an hour or so before?

If I remember right from getting The Cure tickets last year, yeah it is. So I'd be on there and refreshing early if I were you

All that remains now is convincing Mrs Jass that doing RFH in April and Castlefield in July is absolutely necessary.

Bloody hell this time of year can be expensive can't it? The National, Nick Cave, Hot Chip, Bikini Kill... gah

I'm mentally £75 poorer than I was 20 minutes ago.

I'm also thinking this is an ideal birthday present for my other half as it's his birthday week. But that essentially doubles my outlay and all. 

[jyoung]

The disappointment of not being able to make this one is balanced out by how I felt when I saw their unexpected name on the Glasto poster drop in 2017 and the fact the Manchester gig in Summer will be a highlight of the year...

[nikkic]

I’ve had to forego a few gigs recently because I’m burning cash on the house, but this is one I can’t miss. 

Party party!!

This being the same day as James Blake in London has really ruined my day

[Divein]

Im gonna float this to my other half as a half term trip to London see what she says.

 

Also, them seemingly jetting around the world for random dates must have them back down as a possibility for Glastonbury.

I often end up paying for Mrs Jass' tickets, she's cut her work hours down post baby and can't afford most gigs so it's either that or she can't go to stuff. Makes it bloody expensive for me mind.

I think them playing a big slot last time rules them out to be honest.

This is the same night at the day I've got James Blake tickets at the Apollo.

I'm a Cherry Tree member though, so will see what the deal is with the presale code when it arrives and will pass it on if generic?

Raises hand for first dibs!

[Zoo Music Girl]

I would also have an interest in this presale malarkey thank you please

Am I right in thinking Cherry Tree sale is tomorrow at 4pm GMT?

Site says the ticket price tiers are £38.50, £55, £75. Which of these is likely to be the standing prices?

I don't think there is any standing in the royal festival hall is there?

Ah, I have no idea - never been.

[jyoung]

It is all seated. You will get a great view anywhere in the stalls or rear stalls.

I imagine the pricing structure is something like 38.50 for balcony, 55 rear stalls and 75 stalls.

I'm in the same boat. Tempted to see if I can find someone going on the Wednesday to swap tickets with.
