Anyone see how much standing tickets were for London? They were all sold out by the time I got through this morning

Ordered 3 for our group this morning, worked out to £83.45 each. I was expecting them to be around the £100.00 mark. 

I see Ticketbastard have got their dynamic/platinum f**kery in place, and I don't doubt AXS will do too. 

Anyone buying in the general sale, See Tickets are selling for some of the venues. Go there to avoid that if you can! 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I bought via AXS and there were Gold and Diamond options and whatnot.

Quite gutted that seeing a gig for £70 a go makes me go "wow - cheap!"

[gorfield]

I wanted Stevie Nicks tickets today and Nick Cave but knew I couldn't afford both. Got 2 Cave tickets for 70 quid each at the old Manchester Arena in the pre sale.... Stevie Nicks wanted 200 quid for a seat in the gods at this new money pit arena in Manchester. with the 60 quid booking fee and other fees and fees on your fees the price for 2 tickets was ..... £469. oh and if you want a few drinks after the gig you can pay for their after gig party - £40 quid each but you do get one drink included in that... bargain.

The world has gone mad.

 

ps there are lots of tickets left

Birmingham booked - at least something to look forward to in the normally grim month of November 

[glimmers_of_hope]

yeah I got a ticket for O2 in November as well - I'm really looking forward to it.  BCNR are support as well so that is nice.  I think the new song is great and can't wait to hear it live.

I just checked the presale again for London and there are tickets for all areas still on sale. Got 2 for standing. Pricey but should be an awesome gig 

[Superscally]

I'm actually waiting on the album... More I listen to new song, less I'm convinced and if album is same or worse, not sure if I want to spend 200 quid on a setlist I've seen done better before...

First saw Nick Cave in 1987.  Have seen him many times over the years, including twice at Glastonbury.  Managed to get a standing ticket for Dublin at a not-total-rip-off price.  Looking forward already!

Had a Stevie Nicks ticket on my screen today, but common sense told me to release it.

[Mr Boo]

Just got tickets for Cardiff. Very happy 😃 

 

[fantomas]

Extra dates added for London, Dublin, Berlin and Copenhagen.

 

Presale Wednesday, on general sale Friday.

It's magnificent. 

Masterpiece. Apart from maybe the first two minutes of Wild God, which I could have written. 

Topping the lot at Glasto 😉

Did you end up getting a ticket? Can't wait to see them in Dublin later in the year (and yes, album is bloody great!). 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm a little disappointed given I think the three singles are the best things he's done in aeons - but the rest of the album continues ploughing the same sort of shapeless ambient furrow hes been trapped in for a while now. 

 

However, that's just only on the first listen.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Also - that first like of the Anita Lane song 😬

He did that with Mermaids too 🤣🤢

[OllieMadd]

I'm a huge NC fan, and I loved Ghosteen, but I just find this a bit... Much.

 

Lyrics aren't doing it for me, and he's just got a bit too goddy* for me. 

 

*I think this is in combination with his continued preaching on Red Hand Files which sets it apart from his career long religious imagery 

[Superscally]

Yep. Love it.

NC nailed on for Other headliner up against Fred?!

I still see no world where he takes anything other than Pyramid headliner these days.

I think he's alright, but I don't see him as a Pyramid headliner. He's got some hefty cult status, but he's no bigger than the Chems, QOTSA, Foals - especially in the UK at least.

I’m at EOTR so not had chance to hear it in full yet - but love what I’ve heard so far - does anyone else get a strong Scott Walker influence? Also, shoot me if I’m wrong but I was also getting some Flaming Lips Soft Bulletin era and then I read it’s mixed by David Fridmann - same producer - but I had the same feeling from the second half of White Elephant from Carnage - there was definitely a Flaming Lips influence there
