Strangely I find it easier for getting last minute Twickets pick-up for stadiums than for arena shows. There was barely anything for The Killers' six shows this week, with the exception of the Wednesday show, likely from a lot of people wanting to watch the England v Netherlands game instead.

I got my Foo Fighters and Green Day tickets for Manchester within a week or so of each gig in June without issue. Foos was about £25 less than face value on Twickets the night before and I got Green Day on a production release on See, which I was happy to pay for the front pit.

 

In total it was around £160 for two 2 and a half hour gigs, plus Wet Leg as one of the supports and both in the front section with great view and sound, so not bad really.

 

Interesting on The Killers, there were loads for a couple of the Manchester dates, but I couldn't justify it with the above mentioned ones and Glastonbury all in those couple of weeks!

Only Killers show I spotted a lot of Twickets ones going at face or lower for the London dates was the one that clashed with the Euros semi-final. Something that ironically meant missing out on that big moment where they showed the game then celebrated England winning with Mr Brightside.

 

Foos and Green Day both being stadium dates makes sense to me that because my experience is Twickets has more available for stadium shows, there were enough there for Foos. I paid face for their Cardiff show though was going with friends after a SeeTickets production release. Even if the 2 hour traffic jam on the way there was a f**king miserable experience.

Watching now. Not a fan of miming.Its not every line/ song but its clear to all.
 

dancing and whole show good though. 

Really? She’s singing live about 90% of the time.. the backing tracks are really minimally used.

And I think if there were no backing tracks, it wouldn't sound anything like the recorded songs, as with a lot of pop music. Then people would be saying the vocals are weak...

fantastic 🙂 presumably from inside the barrier ? do you get time limits or can you stay there entire set ?

Usually give us first 3 songs but dua lipa team wouldn’t allow anyone at the front to take pictures so we (including Getty) were all in the crowd.

Watched it last night, I’m surprised that’s her accommodation at Glastonbury.. I would’ve expected something more fancy!  

 

That's probably high end for folk actually staying onsite and being in the heart of the action.  Folk who're just there to play the gig will be in hotels offsite.

Sold out 2 Wembley and an Anfield show + 4 MSG shows today.

 

No doubt how massive she is now when people doubted if she was big enough before 🤷🏼‍♂️

Incase anyone's arriving at Glastonbury on the Thursday there's still loads left for Anfield

To be fair I'd say her strong ticket sales are influenced by her smashing Glastonbury- particularly after her album stiffed a bit.

That will probably be one of those luxury high spec camper/caravans behind the fence on the hospitality wristbands only path between the pyramid and other fields. 

doesnt look that high spec to me .... given the number of airstreams they have on site ..... looks like a kitchen that would be the first thing stripped out in homes under the hammer

I'd agree with that. Bit shocked they've been as good as they have been.

 

With a good bill next to her, might try and snaffle a Liverpool ticket nearer the time.

and its stupid that she didnt play the game in America and did Coachella. Chappell Roan exploded after her performance even though that was gonna be her path. But it helped immensely.
 

Dua had a tour ready to announce after the album drop and then delayed it because it didnt get the attention they thought. And there were stadiums booked in the states which likely wouldve sold well because everyone wouldve seen the festival performance and that it was loads of fun. And the u.s dates are slightly deceiving. They sold but you should check official Ticketmaster resale. Lots of seats for resale instead of a low resale supply which means people got their hands on tickets. The high price point wasnt doing anyone favors. $200 usd for upper levels isnt the best for face value. Standing was cheaper than seats.

Dua did an orchestra backed show at the Royal Albert Hall this week for TV (not sure which channel) which included a duet with Elton and the first time outing for Dance The Night .. can’t wait to see that appear on TV somewhere..

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
