jdgm Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Announced earlier today - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-26679515 Speculation is that it will be mostly her and a grand piano, new or recent material; but nothing - even Dave Gilmour playing ukelele - is being ruled out. It will be expensive and she is gonna have to be good. She will be. All 15 nights will sell out very quickly. Will she have, does she need, a good guitar player? rct...??

I've a week to wait before I get annoyed by knowing all the usual ticket-touts - sorry, Ticket Agencies - have already been able to buy every available seat for the 15 days session.... :angry: P. And this is often the problem with London concerts these days. I would have liked to see Eric Johnson in town on his 5-date tour last year but by the time I found out about it all the (£30 max price) tickets had gone up to £90 or £120. Forget it. Then he played in Harrogate for Chrissakes! But Hammersmith was once the place, and that 'once' was around the time she last played live, which was there. I'm glad it's not the O2 arena. However even if I don't get a ticket there will probably be - has to be - an audio/video release of it. Got to be a few special guests over the 15 nights.

IanHenry Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I think Ticketmaster are the biggest ticket touts in the business. Last year when I tried to buy tickets to see Fleetwood Mac at Manchester, at 9 o'clock the day tickets went on sale, there were none available, but you could get them if you bought from Ticketmaster's "Platinum" deal, which was £270 for a £90 ticket. I refuse to pay that sort of money on principle, and there's no way I'd pay £540 to take my wife and be cramped all night in the arena's uncomfortable seats.

WOW! Is she going to be flying with you? ! ! !

pauloon Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Tickets for Kate Bush's first live shows in 35 years have sold out in less than 15 minutes. Tickets for the 22 dates at London's Hammersmith Apollo went on sale at 09:30 GMT on Friday morning. The star said she was "completely overwhelmed by the response". "Thank you so much to everyone," she added. The Before the Dawn concerts, which take place this August and September, mark the singer's first return to the stage since The Tour Of Life in 1979. Demand was so high that the singer's own website, as well as some ticket-selling sites, crashed as people tried to log on. The BBC's Colin Paterson reported that tickets with a face value of £135 were already being offered on sale on secondary ticketing sites for more than £1000. Bush was just 20 when she completed her one and only tour, a year after topping the charts with Wuthering Heights. The six-week tour, which travelled around Britain and mainland Europe, ended at the Hammersmith Odeon - now the Hammersmith Apollo. Additional shows Following the initial announcement of 15 dates last week, seven more dates were added in response to "massive pre-sale demand". "Kate decided to add the extra shows in a bid to make sure as many people who wish to see a show can do so," said the official statement. A spokesman for Ticketmaster UK described the demand for tickets as "phenomenal". "At our peak, the Ticketmaster website had over 65,000 fans looking for tickets," said Simon Presswell. "Despite playing 22 dates, demand has significantly exceeded the number of tickets available so regrettably a number of fans will be left disappointed." Bush, whose hits include Running Up That Hill and Babooshka, last released an album in 2011 - the Brit-nominated 50 Words For Snow. The 55-year-old singer received a CBE for services to music last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yes...bit of a scandal really but inevitable and totally predictable, even with the extra dates. London theatre and gig tickets - it's a closed shop and it's been like that for decades but the internet and the withdrawal generally of record company tour support have made it a punter's nightmare. I expect there will be some media brouhaha about it as she is seen as an icon. Questions will be asked at the press conference if she bows to pressure and gives one. No - I didn't get a ticket. I would never even bother applying in such circumstances. Tickets with a "face value of £135"...! Too much IMO. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
