My 11 yo daughter has been massively on my case about this for a while now as GA's been teasing a tour announcement.

 

She pre-ordered her album so I've been instructed to be at my laptop at 10am tomorrow to 'get good seats, not nosebleeds' 😂 Can't see it selling out anytime soon but won't leave it to chance. Strange she's at the O2 and Chappell Roan sold out 3 nights at Brixton Academy in seconds but hasn't been upgraded? My son and his gf tried in vain to get tickets for those gigs but never even got close.

Yeah tried for Chappell too and no chance, I remember being 7k in the queue for a 5k venue, no idea how long the queue was though

It's annoying because when the first shows went on sale it didn't have anywhere near the demand and I could have got tickets, but it was on dates I couldn't make. Then they moved it a week later and added a show but by then she had exploded and the demand was insane! 

Obviously I chose not to get tickets originally because I couldn't make the date so I didn't qualify for the past buyers presale thing either

Interesting article on the north/south split that a lot of acts have. Some arguments can probably be pulled apart but possible valid points on acts being given more time.

It's not often I see this in effect, but there was a heavy amount of student indie disco at a wedding I was at last month. The Stoke side went mental for Not Nineteen Forever while the Birmingham side left the dancefloor.

£43.40 including all fees to see Courteeners at Brixton in November 2021.

 

Based on £65 for Glasgow and Birmingham on this tour, it's going to be £70 for Brixton in 2024.

 

If so, that's going to be the face value ticket price going up 100% in three years.

 

Turns out standing was only £47.50, so a small increase. Best seats were the expensive ones.

I was flying over the co-op live (in a plane) when they had the screens showing the same image.

Yeah they've tweeted too now. A fan on twitter has posted venues in Glasgow and Birmingham doing the same. I reckon that will be it.

The Courteeners new tune is apparently about the number 17 bus...  which is my bus home & I still feel alienated by The Courteeners. Absolute dross. They remind me of bands I used to see when I was 15/16 at "Battle of the Bands" Rochdale.

 

None of them made it & it baffles me how the Courteeners did.

 

Good article though!

Seen a few voicing an annoyance that they'd already tried this week for Gracie Abrams tickets and won't quite have replenished the bank account before this is added to the list.

The Manchester show will be worth it for me as DMA's are one of my favourite bands so for them, Courteeners and Mystery Jets it's actually quite good value as I like them all

Anyone in for hearing his Bobness tear his way through Under The Red Sky?

Apparently sold out the O2 date now, bewildered at that, thought she would struggle, let alone selling it out this quickly

Their last iteration were an incredible live act. Hafta assume the new one is too.

I tried in the album pre-sale, the sign up pre-sale and then the general with no luck. The screen was just blank every time I tried to go through on my laptop so had to use my phone. Could have got platinum tickets that were about £180 each but ended up with a couple of what look like really decent seats at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam - worked out just under £70 each. 

It's during half term so will stay for a couple of nights and make a bit of a weekend of it. With travel and hotel it's all only about £50 more than the platinum tickets on their own. Actually panic bought a couple of standing tickets as well (they were all that showed up when I first got through) so if anyone fancies making the trip over let me know? They were about £50 each and are all sold out now. Can always put them on Ticketmaster resale or Ticketswap nearer the time.

I'm not sure what's going on in Glasgow at the moment but it seems loads of bands that would be better off at the Barras are being stuck on the Hydro and then not selling out... Makes it far easier to pick up a ticket so I guess I shouldn't complain, and maybe Glasgow is missing an in-between sized venue, but I'd never noticed it happen so much before.

 

Maybe @Ayrshire Chris or @CaledonianGonzoknows if that's an actual trend it just in my head

It’s relatively easy to get hydro tickets.  For instance Jamie Webster has just announced he’s at the hydro, thought barrowland would have suited him.
