Any sign of touts about? And sounding a tad naive what would the likelihood be of me getting there at sayyyyy 6:30pm/7:00pm and grabbing a steal?

I would seriously consider heading up if this could happen?

confused

To get a steal you would have to wait till around 8.30, but would be worth your wait as you might get a better seat at that time.

There are some serious bargains to be had on Gumtree for tonight.

Rumour is Laura Mvula could well be on until 9pm so u won't miss much by turning up at 8:30...just hearsay though.

Think they're wrist banding now

Thanks guys, there's this twitter @danse_vivante saying that they've got upto 70 free tickets that were given to them by promoters to fill spaces...

Got in touch with them and said that you need to contact a guy on fb who works in house of fraser in brum central who can give them to you???


Sounds bogus but lots of people asking and they're swearing by their name that it's all true!!

I reckon that might have been Dan. Goth looking guy with dreads?


I was there last night for NIN as well. But I don't live far. Plus, I only found out this morning that I got free tickets for tonight smile

I'll do my best. Battery is decent and hopefully the seat is the best. Currently browsing the merchandise.

I hope everyone has a great time tonight. After loving the first Birmingham gig I really wanted to go to this one, but I have an exam tomorrow, so probably not the best idea. smile

The first one ate pretty heavily into my student finances as well, so I'm afraid I'll have to miss this one. At least you UK taxpayers can rest assured knowing that you contributed to a worthy cause: my first Prince gig.

Heavenly wine and roses seems to whisper to me when you smile...

Anyone had any experience with etickets from stubhub? I've got mine printed out but it has some woman's name on it. Obviously the original purchaser.

Yeah, same as my experience with buying Neil Young tickets earlier this year. They worked. Unless there is a heavy anti-scalping restriction with airport-like security to verify the purchaser, as seen at some tiny venues, they don't look at the name on it.
