Considering it's the 02 I'm surprised anyone can be arsed.

Never had any trouble at the O2 personally. Only trouble is travelling through London

Only been once (pulp) and was massively disappointed that it was a normal arena built inside the dome. I was hoping for a dome shaped concert venue

I assume you'll have to give a name for each of the 4 tickets. I doubt they'll be checking if there's tickets purchased for more than one show for each name, but could be wrong. It's certainly not clear.

It wouldve been stated in the Ticketmaster listing which does have important info on it which nobody read. Ticket transfer and face value marketplace will be used for these shows. Also, isnt it becoming more commonplace for Uk gigs to require every single attendee to have their own ticket on their own device? That means transfer must be active. If the email confirmations that cone. Out on weds say you need to name your entire party when you buy then thats gonna be the secret wrench thats ready to go. But again, transfer is going to exist anyway. Its pointless to do that restriction unless you dont want the other thing to happen.

I don't follow this. How is Ticketmaster relevant? The shows are not listed on the Ticketmaster website. And most previous posts were from people trying to interpret the only info given, so I am not sure why you say nobody has read the info?

It's more that the sound is an unlucky dip depending on where you're sat from gig to gig for me... Been three times. Shite every time.

Anyone else have problems with registering. Registered two different email address with two different numbers, mine and my other half. I received nothing and she got a text but no email.

 

Anyone else find the same?

It's the worst venue in London by a country mile.

Annoyingly, the only time I’ve seen Radiohead and not enjoyed them as much as usual was at the O2 in 2012. A little miffed they’re playing there again, despite living close to the venue!

I registered lunchtime on Friday. Haven't received a text 😞

[SPW]

Not a favoured venue by any stretch but I've found the sound decent when I've been (as a bit of a New Order geek was one of the best I've heard them when they did the o2 last time).

[NorthernSoul52]

Think nearly every sizeable gaff has its off-days with sound!

I've been 10 times and the sound has been atrocious every single time.

I think, after 8 years of not touring (or existing), with them only playing 5 cities, and them blowing up in the last year, you can say they're in the 'crazy live draw' territory. At this point I think they can probably sell out stadiums. 

How have the "blown up" in the last year?  Not contradicting you, I just don't know what you mean. 

 

I've totally slept on this tour, am I too late?

 

The sets they played at PS 2016 and Glastonbury 2017 will take some beating I think.

I think you have missed the boat for registering. Really not sure how re-sales will go, whether they will only be allowed to those who registered. I guess the likes of Twickets might be your best option.

 

I can't say I have much confidence of tickets but at least got my registration in and so will see how things go.

And what about those of us who never got our text? Are we out the race?

They became more populair to a younger audience, scoring them their fourth ever Billboard top 100 hit (with Let Down) en boosting their steraming stats exponentially. They went from around 28mil to 41mil listeners on Spotify in about 4 months time. 88th most listened to artist in the world right now (saw they recently jumped over RHCP). 

[nikkic]

It’s great the youth are getting into bands via TikTok etc.

My niece (19 years old) has seen Oasis and The Prodigy recently, the latter she went with my wife. 
 

All being well we’ll be going to Radiohead together.

What happened with "Let Down"?  I always regarded it as an album track.  An album track probably better than most comparable act's singles, but in the context of Radiohead an album track nonetheless.  You can hear the Johnny Marr influence.  How do you track the stats you've mentioned? - thank you, they're very interesting. 

 

I don't however think Spotify popularity translates to people attending your concerts. We all saw the wide open spaces at SZA's (69m monthly listeners) Glastonbury show. And Oasis have 25% less monthly listeners than Radiohead at present...

In regards to those of us who never got a text during registration, I'm wondering if it will have anything to do with the format of the phone number we entered? It provided the +44 for us, so I omitted the 0 from my number. So I entered 78XXXXXXX. Did other unsuccessful (or successful) people omit the 0 too?

It looks like something may well have gone wrong. Hopefully, they will pick up on the fact and maybe open it up again. Although, they may just think we have enough registrations to more then sell out and not care about all the people who slipped through the cracks.

Pretty sure, I tried the 0 and it flagged it up for me to remove it.

[NorthernSoul52]

It's like double whammy, trying to see if I can snag tickets for The Open too. Waiting on the ballot results there this month as well.

That makes me feel a bit better thanks. If its luck of the draw I didn't get tickets, even at the first hurdle, then so be it. We won't all get lucky.

Though I can't wait to see them again in the future, whenever that may be.

[NorthernSoul52]

Do think that if they're serious about no further plans, the residency approach may do the job for them.
