Any idea about ticket prices? If they are as expensive as the Albert Hall tickets were last year I think I might pass

Just wondering if there will be a limit on how many tics we can book, as it would be great to have me and my mates all in one place. Obviously if there is a limit they will need to book their own tickets and we ideally need to know this before Wednesday :hehe: .

I would be suprised and shocked if they were that expensive, it was a 3 hour gig after all.

I hope they be around the £35 mark, any more and I think they might have problems selling them to non-dedicated fans.

Indeed! I had 3 of my Take That tickets refunded (without them telling me) because you were only allowed 6 and I booked 9... :grrr:

Well, I hope there not much more expensive than that! I refused to pay for the most expensive tickets at the RAH as I thought it was extortion. I think even at £30 they'll have problems selling tickets to anyone apart from the die-hard fans. We shall see :whistle:

I fear they could be more expensive, I just checked prices for various forthcoming O2 gigs:
- Britney Spears (!) 48 GBP
- Simply red 40-50 GBP
- UB40 35 GBP

All other gigs are sold-out, so I got no price information.

I think they should really have some 25 GBP seats available...

Conventional end stage concerts- 13,500-15,800 (fully seated)
Conventional end stage concerts- up to 19,350 (floor standing)

Like the O2 - I think they will struggle to sell out. Although I'd love them to prove me wrong!
Would rather they had gone for Manchester Apollo.
