Bollocks, Birmingham standing went in about 5 mins!

2 standing at Leeds...whoopeee

 

[Bluebirds]

Brighton in the bag. Happy with that as it's supposedly one of the smaller venues and (seemingly) sold out shortly afterwards.
Will see how the rest of the tour and ticket sales pan out. Noted Dublin seemed quite easy to get tickets for.
PS Royal Albert Hall prices are f***ing ridiculous.

The Albert Hall is usually about 80% seated but with a smallish standing bit by the stage. I must have seen 6 or 7 concerts there and it's always been laid out that way - would be v surprised if not the case for this one...

According to RAH twitter person Morrissey will be all-seated. Interesting.

I was lucky enough to get tickets for Brighton (standing), Albert Hall (stall row 3) and Ally Pally (standing). Now off to the food bank to get my meals until next month....

Unless they hire armies of venue security for the night, all that happens at all-seater venues is that everyone gets out of their seat and legs it to the front anyway as soon as the first song starts. so it doesn't make a huge amount of difference.

I hope you're right as the thought of having a seat in row 22 of the arena, fills me with dread!

Back on sale

 

[I Like You]

Birmingham standing sold out absurdly quickly so I'm going to Dublin. Yay.

 

[NealCassidy]

RAH sold out !

No doubt more dates added

RAH sold out !

Just goes to show that they were priced waaaaaaaaaaay too cheap at £112 a ticket. He should add a second night, and charge £200!

 

[NealCassidy]

RAH website does still have £300 or £1,400 tickets available if required

It's meaningless when a concert is described as selling out these days as half the tickets would have been snapped up by amateur touts who have misjudged the true demand for an act and think they're onto a fortune. As the weeks pass they will discover that they a) cannot only not make a profit but b) will even struggle to get face value. If the true demand was ridiculously high then Ally Pally would have sold out too. It hasn't.
In the week or two before the Albert Hall show, you'll easily be able to get tickets for face value or less. The only thing possibly stopping that would be if the album yields a couple of massive radio hits before then - very unlikely but not completely impossible.

I see your point, but I am not sure it applies to RAH - not too big venue, London, so foreigners like me could easily attend, etc ...

Can someone that uses Twitter please tweet this tool



and let him know that this isn't Morrissey's Twitter account. I mean, it even states it isn't: "Official Moz Info. Not Moz." https://mobile.twitter.com/officialmoz

Thanks in advance!

Someone has done exactly that.

I went to the Royal Albert Hall on one of the previous tours several years back - it was hell to get hold of tickets, as they had all officially sold out within about 3 minutes of going on sale. I was quite surprised when I attended, that there were empty seats everywhere - at least a quarter of the venue was empty.

I guess the touts figure if they can sell a small number of tickets at a huge markup, it doesn't matter if they are left with some unsold at the end that they have to chuck in the bin. It makes for a strange gig-going experience though, when 'sold out' venues aren't anywhere near full.
