yeah, 2000 can fit in the forum....

lets hope demand is less than brixton cause of little to no hype....
but being serious, we're all pretty much screwed.

Why the hell are the Pixies only playing London. That'll be 5 dates in London so far and 0 dates elsewhere in the UK (excluding festivals). They bloody better do a full UK tour at some point.

saw the libertines there last year, will be a brilliant atmosphere, and the sound better than brixton (hopefully)

This must be the moment where they unveil all the new tracks (or second roster of old faves) in a live setting. Best to do it it a small warm up scenario methinks.

Annoying thing is I cant go as I've a summer jaunt around the V2004 festival and will be marooned in the North west

What is a signature????

Seems fairly confident of getting some, wonder what the ticket agent kickback is for setting aside a 'few tickets for some friends'.

Well I didn't get any... it teased me into thinking I had one right until I confirmed the transaction and then said 'there are not enough tickets, please try a lower amount'

However a lower amount than one is zero :(

so how did everyone go getting tickets?

i managed to finally nab mine from stargreen - good old stargreen.

When i had finally managed to get through on wayahead/seetickets/nme, once i had pressed the "take my money" tab, a little screen popped up saying that there weren't enough tickets left to process my order.
but luckily by this time stargreen had sorted itself out, cause it had been crashing up until then and i wizzed thru.
also picked up my 50 foot wave tickets, so i'm very very chuffed!

hope others had as much luck as me.


spose i'd actually better do some work now...damnit!

That was quite a traumatic 15 minutes....

But I have two.

Looks like everywhere's sold out now.... only 7 ebay sellers already. Words fail me.

I noticed him too..... tosser. £325 for something you don't actually have yet?

And I notice he's miffed that people bid and then don't pay up.... my heart bleeds. And is an eBay bid REALLY legally binding as he claims?

Had given up but just tried ticketmaster.co.uk - if you select the 'any available at this price option' and try a few times they DO still have some - it'll let you get one at a time if you keep trying - have stitched myself up a bit though as I now have one for upstairs and one for downstairs...

I tried ticketmaster, but no luck with that - might try another browser.. just in case, but otherwise I'll have to make do with seeing them before... still, it'd have been nice to see them at what was the Town and Country Club proper...

many many thanks gavredmaxx! - I think I managed to get 2 downstairs tickets from ticketmaster (I have the confirmation printout but won't believe it until the tickets are in my hand)

will be a real nostalgia trip for me - I saw them a couple of times there on the surfer rosa/doolittle tours

yippee!!!

Benji, you are a STAR! Thanks for the link - I actually managed to get 1 ticket! Don't know how??? It's actually 1pm and the tickets went hours ago. And I'm away on holiday in a library in North Dorset.

THANKS!!
