This isn't set to share on Facebook - I've repeated the information twice as it is lost in the other thread.

Regarding Ticketmaster it was a desaster - no chance to get a ticket within first 20 mins. But on Palladium page directly it went quite well. They still sell, you can choose seats. From time to time single ones down in Stalls appear.
I first was able to buy in row 7 of Stalls, then later a seat in row 2 was available and I took that too... crazy, I knw, but c'mon, row 2...

This is giving me flashbacks to the 2002 RAH gigs - the comments in those discussions and the similar speed at which they sold out was staggering.
I had 3 people continually ringing to get through and the servers/phones went in to meltdown.
Still intrigued by 'special guests'.
Regards,
FWD.

I didn’t find anything sinister. I went to the London Palladium site at 10am and had no problem at all. Waited in a queue for two minutes, grabbed a couple of stalls seats and then bosh...

Having said that, there does seem so be a fine art to buying tickets like this. I always use Google Chrome because it’s fast. I also sign up with the venue / ticket agency beforehand so it quickens up the checkout. Don’t have too many computers / windows upen because it slows down your Wi-fi (when refreshing the page to hit 10:AM).

There were almost no tickets available on Ticketmaster - certainly no stalls. Maybe the Palladium website had them all?

I'm in the Royal Circle row F. I assume these are good tickets. Oh to see Morrissey in an intimate venue and not any venue the London Palladium.

í am in 'Royal' Row E!
í hoped for better but my browser went blind on me at the pick yer seats page so switched to Chrome.
Seen him there every time before (solo) and it's a cracking place.
Last time {2011} some muppet hadn't shown up in the royal front row and after 10 minutes í nabbed their seat when the lights went down.
That was the night London burned {not because of Morrissey; í think}

Evening Dress Required...?

The Palladium site is still throwing up the odd ticket here and there for some reason. keep trying, if yer desperate.

í just got me a 2nd row centre royal circle seat

You're as crazy as me, Joe...
Guess those "here and there" tickets are from those who ran out of the 10mins time limit to book & pay...

Now I've to start booking hotel & the trains from germany to London

I went in 2006 one of the best Morrissey gigs I've been to (therefore one of the best gigs I've been to) Think it was the first time he'd played Stop Me and Panic. Morrissey was in a dickie bow.

I need to get more wear out of my evening suit tbh.

'Panic' was immense that night. Still get shivers at the memory.

The Palladium will in all likelihood be our best hope of witnessing/participating in a stage invasion this tour, unless anyone has a spare jet-pack they can sneak into The Sheds.

It will be nice to dress up, for something other than funerals. And court appearances...

Managed to get some for R/C but gutted to hear the first few rows were available. Glad queuing fans got some (hopefully fans!?) but miffed I’ve paid £95 per ticket (x4!) and in person it was £85?!

It's actually one of the least likely - previously when Morrissey's has played there, they've had a huge orchestra pit between the stage and the front two. People have tried jumping it before, but only succeeded in falling down the pit, where they spend the rest of the show (it's about 20 foot deep). You are very brave (or stupid) to try it, but good luck! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1d/e3/6c/1de36c62c982c25aab9aa157340c2566.jpg

I was at the last show here and vaguely remember a couple of attempts at stage invasions.. I think one girl for the hand but that was it. Expect 2017 will have that locked down completely. Maybe just sit and enjoy it eh?

Never been brave enough to attempt to get on stage, but always curious to know what happens to the brave ones after they've been escorted off stage! Anyone care to shed some light? Really wanted to try on this tour but looks like palladium is now off limits even though I'm in row C :-( Also have ticket for Ally Pally but am guessing stage there is too high and Albert Hall, but I'm row 22 in the Arena there...sigh!

Further date due to overwhelming demand??!

Surely not as it seems they’ve made a point of listing the Palladium as the ‘3rd and final London date’

Ticketmaster is always a nightmare. Seetickets and Gigs&Tours isn’t much better.
The best site is axs. All ticket sites should adopt their waiting room process for in demand shows

Not sure that’ll work if there’s cash to be made

What a shambles by the promoters outside of London trying to cajole fans to pay expensive prices for arenas and then do the right thing and do 3 decent sized venues in London.

Why play two huge cavern venues in Scotland...... Even Clyde Auditorium would have been better and he would have sold that out. There's no chance the Hydro will sell out and the black curtain material will be wrapped over seats. Likewise Birmingham could have done with a smaller venue. Am I the only person to think this?

Normally security will let people right back into the crowd, though obviously they then end up at the back. Occasionally if the venue security are very strict and get hold of you, or you've been real asshole in your attempt and disrupted things, you they will be thrown out of the venue.
