The times they are a -changin...ther's somethin' blowin' in the wind.....

You can book on the 10, 11, 12 and 13...after that I imagine they'll decide if it's really worth going ahead with the show....

I think I'll hang on from booking my travel for another couple of weeks.

The seating plan confirms that the gold circle is about 10% of the space and they STILL haven't sold out.

Couple that with the fact that tickets are being sold off half price......hmmmm. I got a bad feeling about this!

Not fair for anyone who bought tickets at full price, but if this gets the show to actually go ahead then why not.

Agreed.

The same thing happened for Madonna at Bercy last year.

A firend of mine had paid 160 per ticket and nearer the date I got better tickets in the category for half that.

Is it a french thing? I've never seen this in the UK. Its a realy slap in the face to fans who supported the show early.

Have not seen it in the Netherlands either. just about two weeks ago, Aerosmith was rescheduled to a smaller venue becauso of slow ticketsales. That happens, or shows get cancelled. but sale on concert tix? something new to me.

No, it's not! It's only if you're Prince and overcharge concert tickets! It's no problem if you're AC/DC, Metallica, U2, Madonna or Michael Jackson (well, you know what i mean confused sad )

Well, Ticketmaster sometimes does 2 for 1 offers... so it's not really unheard of!

No unheard of but still:

It's not so nice for customers that already have tickets.

Is it really so hard to set a price range that sells out a show without having to lower prices?

This is their core business so why are they so weak?

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

i'd deffo not book any travel for this

its lookingt less likely by the day

a simple word or 2 from the man on this show could easily get a few more tix sold

but he does not do that-weather he feels its beneath him-he's too busy with the scriptures-whatever his can't be arsed attitude is rubbing off on the fans now:-o

This is all very irratating. I hate the way they have been annoucing the concerts in dribs and drabs, coz as I mentioned before I only booked Arras as I thought it was the best option for us this summer, now there are other options popping up all over the place and none seem to be selling well.... Someone needs to make a decision either way with this concert, stop mucking people around! At least if we knew it was going to be cancelled we could decide whether we want to go to one of the other venues. Its just so messy!!!!! mad

You must be kidding! eek ... I'd be MAD if I bought GC tickets back in the day. Who knows, it might end up being a FREE concert. Definetely unfair for those who purchased their tickets @ the original price. Mmmh..
