Bowie would not shift Take That numbers.

I said if he was only doing a UK tour then jacking it in for good. Would people not travel from around the world to see that?

[stuartbert two hats]

No need. It sells out before I have to say anything. Just send me £50 now, a load more in April, and you'll be set.

Is it in an arena or your mum's back yard?

Fair point well made but with relation to Take That that was a UK stadium tour for genera ply UK people.

If Bowie announced JUST 6 stadiums around Britain and that was it?Yeah demand may dictate from world wide it would sell out.But a stadium UK tour as part of a bigger tour no.

It'll be in the field, just outside of the town.

Brilliant. I'll be there.

Any food being laid on? Butties 'n that?

Super. See you there.

[fatyeti24]

Any food being laid on? Butties 'n that?

Yes.

[fatyeti24]

I forgot to mention, there will be drinks too.

If Bowie did a one off wembley stadium gig it would sell out, but he wouldn't have the volume of fans to fill multiple stadiums around the uk, I think the same gos for the smiths (just). Oasis and the roses can / have

On a note now seemingly unrelated to this thread, what are people's estimates on how difficult it will be to get a NG ticket on friday? On a scale from 1 to glastonbury.

[mufcok]

Anyone know if the european dates go on sale the same time as the UK tour? Fancy a few days in europe to watch him

Managed to bag some tickets for Manchester in the pre-sale. Wanted six but could only get 4/transaction. Clicked back to order more and they had sold out at 3 minutes past 9! Not sure how many were sold today, but I would imagine a similar scramble for tickets on Friday.

Though if demand is high, I can see additional dates being added, maybe in Dublin/London.

Yes. Adjusted for time zones I guess. Worth checking the vendor you'd be buying off.

As with most gigs, if you're willing to be seated you should be alright. Getting standing may be quite hard though.

No space for added dates, and he goes to Europe straight after (Paris on the 12th) - there is zero chance he will do five days in a row. What you've got, you've got.

Noel never performs more than two consecutive nights as HFB to protect his voice.

He could put gigs earlier?

[FuzzyDunlop]

I just couldnt justify £60 for a ticket this time when

A. He could well be on at Glastonbury

B. The last time I saw him was on the mini tour he did before te last album. Seeing him at the Manchester Apollo was special.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Fair play... TBH, if it was a different date, I'd have probably left it as well.

I will be gutted when the gig comes around though!

Bowie would sell boat loads, he'd sell at the very least Oasis levels in the UK maybe even Take That.

Of course that depends entirely on ticket price to, so he might rather make a killing on a few rarer shows given his reported heart condition doing just a few dates at an extortionate price. (If he was to tour again ).

I'd imagine in theory, it would fall somewhere near to Roger Waters doing the Wall World wide (though that was across 3 years) or One Direction using this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_concert_tours#Highest-grossing_tours_of_all_time)

those u2 figures are incredible.

The final Oasis tour of outdoor summer concerts consisted of.

3 nights Heaton Park - Manchester

Stadium Of Light - Sunderland

Millenium Stadium - Cardiff

Murrayfield - Edinburugh

Slane Castle - Ireland

Ricoh Arena - Coventry

3 nights Wembley - London

Would Bowie be able to match something like that? I am a bit sceptical. Considering his 1990 tour was supposed to be his greatest hits tour, he never sold the tickets for that which Oasis did on their tour.

He might well sell out the football stadiums, but there is not a cat in hells chance he sells out 3 nights at Heaton Park. I cant comment on Wembley as I do not know what kind of following he has down there.

Considering the Victoria & Albert Museum had the biggest exhibition run in its history for people to see just Bowie's clothing and memorabilia i'm guessing a tour would be far more popular now than anything he did 20 odd years ago!

[russycarps]

Bowie is more popular than oasis, stone roses and the smiths put together. What utter madness have I just read?

You people need to have a look beyond the borders of the north west of england.

No he's not.

[russycarps]

No he's not.

Bowie would sell out any stadium in any city in the world. In places where the locals have not even heard of the smiths/oasis/stone roses.

You are all mental

I'd watch Ziggy Stardust, I'm a bit meh on Bowie himself
