What an insight. I guess I really need to re-examine 30+ years of fandom... 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Is there scope for second nights at Edinburgh or Brum? I think there’s going to be demand for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only room for second nights if there's a three day minimum gap as no back to back shows over 2 nights any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance of a second Birmingham show. There is space for a second Edinburgh show, but I've been told it's just the 4 UK shows for 2023.

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Probably won't be enough demand for a second Edinburgh show - don't think any of his Hampden shows have ever sold out and I think Murrayfield has a bigger capacity.

Didn't the Scottish date in 2016 sell out? Was under the impression the only UK show that didn't hit capacity was Manchester. Which, when I think about, could be credibly why he's not gone back there. That and the fact ticket prices seem to have significantly jumped again - if the people of the north of England weren't going to stomach the £20 increase between Wrecking Ball and The River '16, what chance do they have now?

Racing in the street would be good too - out of the three big piano ones that I like I've only seen Backstreets at Manchester in 2016. We got Santa from a sign request that day too.

I don't believe any of the last 3 Glasgow shows sold out. While I've really enjoyed them both (and it's my favourite city in the UK!) the last 2 Manchester shows have felt very subdued. Part of that was due to the appalling weather that even a British audience couldn't shrug off! I hope to see him again in Manchester, but I'm kind of glad it's being skipped this time round.

Tartan_Glasto Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Haim last night in Glasgow. Amazing as usual. Just don't understand how three sisters can all be so talented!

Padjeq Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Got the No Nukes Springsteen blu ray for chrimbo.

Better to park in Birmingham city centre and get train out from New St to Witton. Every 20 mins or so...10 minute journey...return trains through to midnight-ish.

Rose-Colored Boy Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Even allowing for the Scotland factor, this is a more successful comeback than I’d expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
