I had tickets for Glasgow to their tour in 2010 (I think, was around then anyway) and if memory serves me right the majority if not the full tour ended up being cancelled due to poor sales as well. Does appear the hydro is sold out this time round and pretty quickly as well!

Some seem quicker than others. Cardiff, Leeds and the second night in Manchester are reporting low tickets remaining, and it seems they've sold healthy enough numbers for the Spurs stadium. 

 

Birmingham and Nottingham seem to have a lot available though.

Of course they are. At least in Belgium. It's a big name pretty much everywhere, no? 

You clipped quite an important part of the sentence..

 

"imo there are several too many dates on this tour and in the UK, which is almost an outlier in terms of their popularity, I'm not sure they are even an arena sized band outside of London."

I purchased 3 x standing tickets for the Cardiff gig on 27th March 2026, and now I can't go.  I've contacted AXS to ask about selling them, & they said "The resale option for this event has a restriction on them due to promoter request".  Has anyone managed to sell tickets before when they have this restriction on them?

Once the tickets are issued, i.e. very close to the event.

I managed to list and sell my Manchester tickets on ticketmaster the day of the general sale.

There is an inconsistentcy with this. Some go quickly, some take longer. The resale window for Florence and the Machine doesn't open for a few extra weeks. 

Yeah, I think AXS do not always play fair. They pretty much embargoed resale once some of last summer's day festivals had gone onto seatfillers

Thanks all for your replies, I'll wait until I receive the barcodes for my tickets on the AXS app closer to the event, and maybe if necessary I'll have to give someone my AXS log in details to use them if I can't transfer them.

This is often the case for people selling tickets via Twickets so you could try selling them there (acknowledging that you may only be able to transfer them nearer the concert date)

I'm thinking that if I can't transfer them to another person, and I can't take a photo of the barcode, that I will have to give my log in details to whoever buys them, do you think that's what people do on Twickets?

I think most people in this situation will state in their Twickets post that the tickets aren’t available to transfer yet (this is one of the questions Twickets ask when you compete your selling ad/post). Transfer normally always becomes available closer to the date, primarily to allow friends/family to transfer the tickets to each other.
 

I have also had it in the past that I bought 2 tickets from someone who hadn’t received the tickets yet from seetickets so there are many reasons why you wouldn’t be able to transfer at this point. 

 

Giving your log-in/phone to someone else to use comes with it s risks for both seller and buyer (as I’m sure you’re aware) so I wouldn’t expect this happens a lot where people are selling tickets to people they don’t know.

Pretty robust, occasionally outstanding at Bradford Live last night. Albarn's in-ear monitors appeared to be giving him some gip, and he kept banging on about pie-and-mash shops between songs. Almost half of the set came from The Mountain - plenty of those cuts really pop live - and perhaps unsurprisingly, the rest was mostly from the first trio of albums. (The Stylo-El Mañana-On Melancholy Hill trifecta is a terrific reminder of their pop chops at their peak.)

 

Without the delay for a medical emergency, would have been a smidge under 1hr45, so that could well be expectations for the rest of the run.

I'd only seen them once at a festival in Paris several years ago but yeah. They're pretty effective at what they go out and do.

 

I'd like to see them again but I'm finding it tricky to justify forking out £100+, mind. Or indeed going to the Spurs stadium, which from previous experience of going there for a football game back is painful to get out of.

Saw them in 2021 at the O2 and based on that I was fine paying £100 to see them on this tour. So yes, I think they're very very very very good live

 

Seeing them this weekend, we'll see how it stacks up against last time I saw them

Saw them headline Glasto which I really enjoyed , but appreciate some were very Dissapointed with it

 

also saw them at primavera c. 4-5 years ago when they were great again . brought quite the arsenal of feature guests with them from memory which always helps 

 

i considered Cardiff this tour but prices put me off, and at that point new album only has a few tracks out 


can only presume if they are charging this kind of dosh for arena shows , they are maybe going big on the visuals and stuff? 
 

new album has grown on me , but wouldn’t swap much of it out for the demon days / plastic beach stuff

All this good feedback makes me all the more excited to see them at Werchter.  Saw them at Glasto years ago and thought it was disjointed so excited to see where they’re at now

Glastonbury 2010 was one of their first live gigs (following on from headlining Coachella) and I think it's fair to say there was nobody managing the stage and it was very stop start.

 

The guests they brought were mental - off the top of my head Lou Reed, Snoop Dogg, Bobby Womack and err Shaun Ryder.

 

Rhinestone Eyes and On Melancholy Hill (almost 1bn Spotify plays) are now set highlights. Back then they were new songs.

 

I'm surprised by how good the new album is.

I think people were stil a bit unsure of the project back then - Might have seemed a bit of a novelty  - im sure i even saw people complained there were no Blur Songs.

 

I think now further on songs Like Melancholy Hill,  Clint Eastwood, Feel Good, Rhinestone Eyes, Dirty Harry, Last Living Souls have aged spectacularly well.

 

Got absolutely shot down when i mentioned it in the headliners thead -  But I think they should headline Glastonbury again,   I think the results would be very different and i think now it would be a very popular one.

They def should headline Glasto again. I think when they did it last time, they were replacing U2? And as others have said, it was mostly Plastic Beach stuff which was new at the time. In spite of its reputation now, that album was actually considered underwhelming by many fans after Demon Days from where I was sitting. It only became considered a modern classic in the years following its release.

It's about what a person is willing to pay on a ticket tbf. That's a discussion as old as time itself to an extent.

 

I personally am yet to break my £100 limit and want to avoid that for as long as possible, although I suspect time is running out on that score. Even moreso because I wouldn't be surprised if another big rise in the cost of energy is going to lead to another spike in ticket prices.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
