Looks like a standalone gig too, as opposed to a watered down Leeds crowd show.

Think Ingliston has a capacity of 30k so would potentially be a better atmosphere. 

I think I read that Connect has a 15k capacity and I assume they’ll just be using the same stage but maybe not.

Day tickets for Leeds was c£90 I think. So I would be expecting them to be around £70 for Edinburgh

I must say, Edinburgh has now become a real player in the gig market over the last few years. It's a real welcome change for me as a local. Long may it continue. 

Yeah this is noticeable even from Glasgow. Between the O2 Academy takeover at the Corn Exchange, the Ingliston gigs and even the Princes St Summer Sessions gigs, it certainly seems like there’s a lot more big events in Edinburgh than there were five or six years ago. It means a bit more travelling for me but if it means more big events in Scotland then that can only be a good thing.

Thought everyone was saying Islington for a minute like they were doing a random tiny gig at the academy.

The good thing about Ingilston is that there are two main halls/venues (similar to the SECC). The main outdoor south arena holds up to 35k and the indoor hall holds 12k. 

I'd be surprised if RATM were not on the outdoor stage. Will be interesting to see if they can sell - esp as the Leeds day still hasn't. 

The Usher Hall is also getting a lot of attention just now - I was at Foals last night for example. Leon Bridges playing there week after Glastonbury too, for example.

Aye reckon around £70 is about right, though didn’t expect the NIN tickets at the academy to be £75!! So you never know

Looking forward to them hitting the circuit soon!

Still don't understand what the hell they are doing. Playing that two low size festivals in Spain is embarrassing. They are doing a tour like they are Kaiser Chiefs...

They had to years to come back with a decent tour and it is still the same shit.

Next year june/july they will be back for biggest rock festivals and probably solo shows

Think we'll have a bash for Edinburgh tickets. Last time I saw them was at Glastonbury.

I never understand why Ticketmaster doesn't just tell you the price of the tickets before they gone on sale, it's so fucking annoying.

[Gilgamesh69]

Where do we reckon the cheapest place to see them will be? Very tempted by Mad Cool Sunset...

Means that there's no time for the cost to put you off.

Croatia, from 60€ (cheapest seating) to 90€ (standing), and 110€ for VIP

[Nicklord]

Vienna was 10-15% more than that. I paid 107€ for the best seating tickets

I think all of this has been thrown together very last minute.

25k cap the Edinburgh show. Same stage as the main stage they're using for Connect Festival. There's a number of solo shows there throughout the summer

Do you know if the June gigs there are also 25k capacity? There’s a real mix of acts playing there and I noticed that other than Biffy Clyro none have sold out but anything close to 25k would be very ambitious for most of those acts.

I'd guess the ones in June are less, but I'll find out over the weekend and confirm

Ah fair enough, was just curious as there surely isn’t anywhere near that number of people desperate to see Richard Ashcroft. 25k sounds like a decent amount for RATM though, maybe not an instant sellout but they should do well there.

[CaledonianGonzo]

June ones are in a tent called The Big Top, I think.

[chickenfire]

Just realised this is the same date as Coldplay at Hampden. My wife is not best pleased that I’m choosing RATM without hesitation 

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

Tickets purchased for Edinburgh. 

Now, what would be the best way to get rid of my Leeds tickets? I know they are not sold out so thinking it may be difficult?!

[jump]

It’s £85 with fees, I’m still very tempted but I would be travelling from London and I’m seeing them at Reading already so I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle.

This cap is a good thing for us punters as it's a relatively small amount (compared to Leeds main stage or when I saw them at TITP in 2008), which will consist solely of RATM fans.

I expect the energy to be off the scale!!!
