I have a spare ticket for this on the Wednesday - Not sure what to do with it considering the restriction on ID etc. I'm going to the gig, but my date dropped out so I'm flying solo.

If you're still going to it then that's easy, just enter the venue with whoever you sell it to.

Long time since I've been to a concert like this, it says doors 6.30, what sort of time (realistically) do I need to be there?

When I go to gigs here, if it says 7pm on the ticket, it can sometimes mean the band being on at 7. Been caught out a few times like that. Most notably the White Stripes. Got there at 8pm just in time to hear Jack White say 'You've been great, this is our last one'

Dunno if it'll apply here, but in this day and age a lot of venues tweet out the stage times the afternoon of the gig.

Realised this after I posted it, what a Muppet I am

Definitely worth keeping an eye out on Twitter for stage times (especially if like myself, you are attending one of the dates without a support)

My tickets for the Thursday arrived yesterday, but I didn't actually register the early doors until looking at this thread - so thanks for that! I'd be very surprised if anything happened before 8pm, though, music-wise, given that there's no support. Luckily I should be able to assess the Wednesday situation ahead of my gig.

Haven't got my tickets for Wednesday to hand - what time are doors?

Coming from the midlands after work for this, so the earliest I'll be able to get there is about 7.30 and that will be pushing it, so without a support hopefully he doesn't start too early.

6:30. But I think doors are quite often 7pm anyway, aren't they, so it's not *that* early. It's more the fact that there's no support that makes me think Bon Iver could conceivably be on from about 8ish.

Is there much to do around the area of the venue? We've only ever been to London for O2 Brixton or Camden shows so the Hammersmith area is new to us, I know it's a sunday which doesnt help but any good time killers/ pubs/ coffee shops

There’s a handful of pubs about a 5/10 min walk away from the venue. Nothing special, but somewhere to get a pint.

Tah, something to kill the time, kinda glad doors are so early

[deadpheasant]

Searching for a ticket for this if anyone knows of one spare?

Pubs-wise, the Duke of Cornwall right next door and the Swan (less than 5 mins walk and by the Hammersmith and City line station if you're coming in from that way) are  good. Loads of chain restaurants nearby as well, pretty busy area. If football's your thing and you're going on the 25th there's a sports bar that will have the league cup final on too (that's my plan)

The evening with Bon Iver is two sets. They posted an awful tour poster on social media and if you look closely it says "remaining shows with two sets"

Yep, me too. Why would they do that to us? Bastards.

[Mouseboy11]

Going on the 22nd so buzzing for this, what sort of sets do we expect? One of the new album and one more stripped back of old material?

[Limpet]

So glad I'm going on the 2nd now. I originally thought that the first set would be' For Emma, Forever Ago' from start to finish to tie in with the 10 yr anniversary, but apparently the show in Milwaukee on the 17th is a one off.
