I don't think many of the days will struggle to sell out. I can't speak for Tom Petty or Phil Collins but I can't see BST giving reduced ticket prices for Green Day, Kings of Leon, The Killers or Justin Bieber. 

Hasn't Phil Collins already sold out of normal tickets?

Jimmy Eat World at R&L as a UK exclusive for those talking about them being Green Day's support

Just checked it out and it seems that you're right. I'm quite surprised it sold as quickly as it did.

Yes, completely sold out GA. Was on there with Barclaycard and general sale but had to go with Early entry as it sold instantly.

I'm always surprised that the killers are so poipular for such a shit band.

But I'm not surprised it sold out. Out of everything I've twittered since I took back over at the beginning of the month, that got the most reaction by a VERY long way.

Yeah, not really a surprise..

Killers - Shit band loved by the masses

Elbow - Shit band loved by the masses

Tears for Fears - Loved by older people who like shit bands loved by the masses

That's what happens when you realise you are going downhill from being massive and take ages out and come back.

Shite support mind.

Well I love the Killers and thought I'd grab one on payday next week. How the fuck has it sold out, none of these ever do! Gutted (and I refuse to pay for that priority admission shit).

[DomDom1984]

The Killers have always been capable of selling tens of thousands of tickets. Whether they've taken time off or not.

what the hell is 'convenience fee', it's actually a joke. what is more convenient? 

[tori1607]

If you got a barclaycard they do 'fee free friday' where you don't pay postage or fees as long as you pay for it with your barclaycard.

They sold out 35,000 tickets in Glasgow pretty quickly. They sold out a whole arena tour on that same tour as well. Including two nights at the O2.

They're clearly a big band. Being shite or good is subjective so obviously doesn't even come close to having a say in that, despite what people want to believe.

[DomDom1984]

Obviously Wembley stadium being the step too far for them in that regard.

Only the Stones have sold it out that quick before though and lots of big bands have played. That's why I think it's a surprise.

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah its quite odd. I seem to remember last year one of the dates kept 'selling out' then going back on sale, so might be worth keeping an eye on.

Yes, don't believe the hype.  No doubt there will be more ticket drops.  They do this to make people panic and then buy at the first opportunity.

It's even worse with seated gigs, as they use this method to get rid of all the crappiest seats first.

It worries me, Dental. With popularity like this, who's to say they wont be let back into Glastonbury in the future? That would be a very grim day.

I'd take it over another Muse gig.

I'm a bit too young to know if they're on good terms or not, but with Mike Rutherford supporting Big Phil do you think they might play a few genesis numbers together?

They're on good terms, and there's rumours of another Genesis tour next year.

No idea if Mike might join Phil for a number or two, tho.
