But this is the first time anything like this has happened. Plus pendulum’s tour manager (and many others) have praised the venue saying it’s one of the best run in the country. 

if there is a ‘history of issues’ you’d expect more like this? I would imagine many other venues across the country experience the same problems

i've only ever seen the doors rushed at brixton.

This is a pain! I'm supposed to be seeing Hundred Reasons here in early March...and Limp Bizkit in April. Hopefully they can find other venues.

Surely the venue/ building will survive but management/ security etc will come into question. 

The venue is fantastic, has a huge history and the architecture alone is iconic. 

It would be such a loss if the council use it as an excuse to turn into flats etc. 

The outcry would be substantial so I just can't see this happening. 

Literally every band has played Brixton at some point.

I think they might be moving everyone to Ally Pally. And then those with 2 day tickets get Troxy tickets too.

Not sure though.

I had tickets to both nights and no sight of my Troxy tickets anywhere. Lots on Reddit with the same issue. I've had my Thursday night tickets added to the Weds too. Hopefully it's fixed before Friday 😞

Yep, exactly what I was expecting.

If you got 2-day tickets from ticketweb, you get 1 ticket for Alexandra Palace and 1 ticket for Troxy.

If you get 2 separate tickets for each day, you get two tickets for Alexandra Palace.

Ugh. There was no bloody option on Ticketmaster for both nights!!! Pain.

[evilduck]

The two nights option was very limited and only advertised by the promoter I think, I only got the email after I had bought two separate ones.

Blaze moved to Hammersmith Apollo. bit of a pain for me to get back from now!
