Personally, I've got no interest in seeing them but my Mrs has, hence purchasing a couple of tickets on Wednesday. Luckily, my 16 year old daughter is going with her so I can sit at home listening to the Jam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying tickets for big events online is a nightmare, all that ‘prove you are not a robot’ by clicking on pictures of street signs etc and touts buy up lots of tickets through automatic systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought half the original band had left. I’ve never been a huge fan, I half heartedly got tickets to their last tour 18 months ago just to see what all the fuss was about. Wanted London but sold out minutes so went for Swansea. They were great, much more of a show, very theatrical with lots of costume changes and flying through the air, loads of dancers. Not usually my sort of th8ng at all, (I like lasers and lights ) but I said if they toured again I would go again. Didn’t think they would again so soon though, and I’ll be there dancing on the pitch. I just can’t sit or even be in the stands at a gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not knocking those who are going, just amazed that they still have such a large fanbase after all these years.

It’s the greatest hits tour, so they’ll be rolling out a bunch of my favourites. I’m not as big a fan of their later stuff, but love the older stuff, and as @RedM says, they put on a flipping good performance for a bunch of blokes now heading towards their 50’s.

bakes Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I think Bristol sport have missed a trick here by not giving season ticket holders priority like what happens at Kingsholm for Gloucester rugby fans. I logged on at 09:30 on 3 devices to try and get 2 tickets for my wife and daughter but no luck. You can bet your bottom dollar a lot of these tickets will end up with touts.

I think priority could be claimed by registering on the band's website. Get the idea that it would be nice for season ticket holders to get priority, but then you end up robbing a genuine TT or RS fan from getting a ticket. And if 20,000 fans across all codes took advance sale advantage then the secondary market would be even more bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there were only a limited number of priority tickets available ensuring the majority do reach general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
