KOKO - Sunday 16th Feb

I spent a night out at KOKO's on Tuesday and it really is a very special venue. I would love to see tickets go on sale for this on Saturday but it will be a 1st come, 1st served I'm sure... And.. Will it be £10 again or £70?

I'm ready to brave the weather, are you? Feel free to add any info when it comes in..

With over 24hours notice this has to be ticketed, right? The queue prospect is an all-dayer otherwise. What's the capacity of the Koko?
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

Capacity is 1410 so yeah ...ermm ...gulp wink

Edit: capacity might be closer to 1900 so much closer total to Shepherds Bush Empire. Their official site says 1410 though confused

The mind is willing but the body isn't able.
Wait outside freezing butt off whilst all and their dog join their mates in the queue before me.
Get inside and get pushed around jostling for a good view whilst people try to squeeze past you and end up standing behind a giant of a man.
Have inebriated bloke practically fall on top of you whilst you make your way out to catch the last train missing last 15 mins of concert.
Make mind up never again and then do the exact same thing the following week

Just put the tickets ON SALE on Sunday morning! Prince did this in 2007 for this exact venue without ANY problems. Morning sale, evening show - simple! If they make us queue, then its just being done for the hype surrounding it.

And there is much more notice this time, people have known since Friday night... people will get there very very early, and some will drink all day. Then you'll get the queue jumpers at opening time. You know what happens then. Theres no need!

Apart from Hannah mentioning it last night who else has put this out? What I'm saying is SBE was mentioned on Radio 6. It's only diehards like us that know about it, no?
Anyway what time you all going to queue from?

Not sure when to queue from. Queued for 5 1/2 to 6 hours last Sunday and while I had a brilliant spot, it was a long day. People still turned up at 8 and got in and while I think that may be too risky I'm thinking mid-afternoon would be fine. Although the advance notice worries me as more will come down. Difficult to decide really.I was hoping the tickets would go on sale tomorrow morning but I don't think that is going to happen this tour at all unless they play bigger venues, possibly starting at Brixton.

KOKO!

Pretty cool.


I just can't afford a ticket and hotel and everything.

The girls & P seem to have a lot of fun. As well as the audiancec. I like this 'hit & run' tour,

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

Awesome!!! My poor friends who used their last half day holiday and spent 10 hours hanging around Euston after Kiran's 'tonight' tweet, may get to Koko after all! They have to go to a family thing at *irony* Blenheim Palace ahahaha and can't get out of it. If I can grab them a ticket they can come along later. lol I am ready with my cards!!!

They will. Why have a button that says buy ticktets. It is a halfway house for him I guess. Online tickets as a lot of people have said but he won't say what time. ... unless there is a cryptic clue somewhere..

Just called sales to book over the phone (as I have no net access lol)and was told they have zero information about the gig. They know a link has been posted on KoKo website but they don't know how many will be on sale, when, online only or some on door, what time if any .. basically zero.
