Monty Python live

[UEF]

Just about to get tickets for this but realised their reunion show is 1st July 2014.

On that day of all days, the day after Glasto Monday, I think the last place I'd want to be is somewhere far away from home in a room full of lots of people .... shame

[Zoo Music Girl]

I was going to get tickets too until I realised the date! Do we really think it will be a one-off though? Surely they could make a lot more money with a tour?

[The Placid Casual]

It's gonna be really tough getting tickets. Here's hoping though!

[russycarps]

they have already said they are not going to be doing any new material. Just the same old sketches that have aged terribly.

Avoid.

[The Placid Casual]

another date added

[The Placid Casual]

I don't care if it's old jokes, I'm just happy that I'm going

[russycarps]

I heard they were going to dance around naked in piles of their own personal fortunes, farting and laughing at the audience.

got tickets for the 2nd date that was added

[The Placid Casual]

5 dates now, jesus

[bigjontour]

im going on the thursday

[Zoo Music Girl]

That one-off thing lasted long then!

Got Wednesday, but wife can't do mid-week.

Been trying for 2 for Saturday for around 15 mins but sold out.

So, all sold in 15 mins - 22000 x 5 tickets ie 110,000 in 15 mins. Makes Glastonbury's 80 minutes look glacial.

Though, as always, very concerned about how many seem to already be on StubHub, GetMeIn etc, for quite ridiculous prices

Although everyone thinks of the music side of Glastonbury, it is actually much more than that, last year we had among many others Phil Jupitus and Andy Parsons for example, so a warm up by the Python crew on the Pyramid for the legend slot would be epic and not to out of place.So if they are really doing this because their hearts are in it, rather than just to increase the size of their huge personal fortunes, maybe it could be a possibility?

Terry Jones on BBC Breakfast said he had a £700,000 mortgage to pay off in 2015!!!

[UEF]

I liked the queueing system they had which gave you an estimated waiting time AND allowed you to pre-fill your details.

Someone should show that to "it can't be done" Seetickets and their apologists on here.

[lharris92]

yeah the o2 priority tickets took longer to go due to the queueing system, which helps it not to crash like see/tm.

wonder how many tickets each of them got as they were gone in minutes compared to o2priority

The Monty Python stage show has been extended from one date to five, running from 1 to 5 July next year.

Except it isn't really sold out though is it, all it means is that the official ticket retailers have shifted their allocation to others to make obscene profits. And why should the official ticket sellers care? They already have in all the money they were ever going to get, and they know if it wasn't for the touts that would never have shifted so many dates so quickly. It a shame that even though people will probably not get another chance to see this at the proper price there will still be empty seats.

[CrunchyFrog]

Yeay!! Got me ticks!! Some are being shifted through online touts already at £1500 to £2000 a pop!! Seat wave for one the greedy bankers!!

[**claire**]

Someone I work with, who sits opposite me, bought two tickets for the first date at about 10.50am from the main site (not resellers) - so not quite sold out in 40-odd seconds?!

[formed a band]

cringeworthy and dated
