The guys who look like they've been on mushrooms since Woodstock '69 that you always see at the festival. I can't imagine them having six laptops and refreshing 20 browsers. Thankfully they do, a lot of these guys and the Greenfield's crew are really the soul of the festival. Many are involved in running stalls or looked after by contacts who work there. Long may that continue 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said you two, we get far too little recognition and quite a lot of slagging off on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(DDOS). Try it now.. and if you keep refreshing this holding page" manually you stay on it! So what were we actually refreshing on the day? and where the successful, the ones who just sat back and let the page do its thing and count down? as if you give it 20 secs, you get back to the page?

Gigs and Tours is still auto refreshing. Ticketmaster I am still in position 128,000 in the queue. Yes, the main Glasto sale was a shambles, but judging by how the competitors deal with something so much smaller than Glasto, I would say lets stick with what we know, because the alternative could be a whole lot worse!

Just to say, Gigs and Tours (in all relevant technical aspects) is a white label front end to See. That you got through on one but not the other is more down to a combination of luck and possibly all the advertising directing people to GaT but not See, rather than it being technically any better.

His 2010 tour was the record and that had 1.2 milion seats. safe to assume average is more like 15k per show, Manchester/o2 are like half the shows and they are both around 20k Edited November 12, 2022 by gfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely wild - most seats are the expensive ones too. He'll be making so much bank from it. Yeah it's odd there haven't been extra dates for Glasgow, Cardiff or Newcastle especially, I reckon he's mainly doing Manchester as it's closer to home for him so he can be with his family more in what is an absolute mammoth of a tour. Not sure how it'd work or how it'd go down, don't think it has been done before, but if the above reason was the actual case for him prioritising Manchester, London and Birmingham dates, how a stadium gig would go down, especially the Principality Stadium in Cardiff with the roof on? Would surely break another record too if he did that, but as I say, not sure on the logistics or if it would even work in the first place.

dotdash79 Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 I expect another set of dates to go up in the next couple of weeks for Scotland Ireland and also Wales. I think today they have had calls with Manchester, birmingham and London to keep agreeing additional dates maybe the others haven’t been around. it’s madness the size of this tour.

gfa Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Just doing one stadium gig to break the record for world's largest comedy gig isn't the worst idea to be fair. would be cool 1 hour ago, dotdash79 said: I expect another set of dates to go up in the next couple of weeks for Scotland Ireland and also Wales.
