Radiohead

[OddRon]

Some people on the reddit are having AXS emails saying their tickets have been cancelled. Worrying!

[OddRon]

[BlackFoxx]

Looks like some might've been mismatch between name of code holder Vs name of card details, but maybe not all of them. Going to be an anxious wait every email notification that comes in now...

[LazyDavid]

Seems a complete and utter mess the whole thing

 

Anyway, for those of us who don't have a ticket, I highly recommend the tribute band Just Radiohead, brilliant set tonight!

[Yokel Again]

Sorry to all those who missed out, we didn't even get a code. But well done / congrats to those who are going - should be great.

 

Bit surprised by how much some of the tickets were though. And that was without dynamic pricing!

 

Buying tickets for big gigs is such a palaver, I really am beginning to wonder if I can be arsed with them at all any more.

100% agree. the stress this year of trying to get glasto tickets was bad enough but feel like every big act is the same.  It hangs over me for the week as to whether we will or won't get them and nearly every time end up spending more than we want to spend because of the pressure.

Unrelated to the ticket shenanigans, but one for the admins - any chance we can change the name of this thread to Radiohead please? My OCD keeps twitching when I see the year and the question mark.

my private box tickets were £235 each. Looks like a got a bargain in the end 

[NorthernSoul52]

That's... better than I would have expected.

Was saying this the other day. I have a season ticket and follow my team over Europe etc. (well not that part this season!). I also love music and gigs. The faff with the former, notably ever increasing ticketing complications and costs, had me thinking that a greater emphasis on gigs was where I was ultimately headed. But that is going in the same direction, at least for the bigger artists. I guess demand drives much of it (both difficulty in getting tickets and the cost) and I assume the tours are the main earner now (rather than being to promote record sales as in yesteryear). With football the faff starts to become a constant in between actually going which erodes the fun, and gigs starting to go the same way.

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, I think tours are the main earner - and even then, plenty of midsize acts only ever return low profits when all the cost is factored in. It's insane.

[Crazyfool01]

im trying for Lewis Capaldi tickets ( yeah I know ) and the presales just add to the stress in my opinion .... now you need to be able to log in to several accounts ( if possible ) over both the sale and presale days ... a right faff in my opinion . would personally just prefer 1 sale on 1 day 

[NorthernSoul52]

It's just the one presale, no registration, for BST, isn't it?

I'm on the BST mailing list from previous years and have received an email for both Capaldi and Brooks presales. Assume is the same for everyone who's previously ordered/registered.

Yeah, I've got them too. Need to sign up to Roundhay while it's in my head.

[craigcharles420]

Presales definitely do seem to add to the anxiety and imo make things kinda harder. It feels like more people competing for less tickets with how they're staggered and released in waves.

[NorthernSoul52]

I tend to have extraordinary luck in presales - won't lie and say preparation isn't part of it, but generally I do luck out immensely - so I quite like the approach. Means I tend to not be worried on the big final day.

BST do seem to put a lot of tickets in the presale, their own and the AMEX one. I actually got an American Express just so I could do BST pre-sales.

 

I ended up with Tier 3 for Capaldi in the AMEX sale and so likely to start at that or higher in the general sale.

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, this tier malarkey can get in the bin too. Absolute shite.

So much for Radiohead at Primavera. Wonder where they’ll show up next year if at all.

[zahidf]

Secret Coachella set.

 

Tel Aviv?

It'll be own dates, if at all. 2027 much better option for festivals with Primavera and Glastonbury being big options I expect. If like last time a album will be released with Primavera and a mix of festivals in 2027 with 2028 covering others such as Glastonbury and Werchter. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Would assume US date engagements like this next spring or summer, capped by maybe a large AEG show or two. (Said fully in the hope Roundhay has somehow snarled them.)
