I know they do the O2 tickets... do they do Wembley as well?

Ive never been to Wembley but would be disappointed with the O2.

Eventim tweeted before Manchester Arena which gave me hope it'd be multiple dates at their venues - Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle. Imagine it's only the former.

Yup, its AEG's ticketing platform and they operate both arenas

really hoping for a Brighton date. Would much rather that than have to go up to London, especially if they play at the O2.

o2 is better than wembley arena in fairness. I just cant imagine the bad seeds in an arena. And for this album too. It just does not compute.

AXS also does Hammersmith in London.

[evilduck]

I doubt he will do Hammersmith if the other dates are all arenas. O2/Wembley is looking the most likely.

AXS do stuff for the Brighton Centre, so I would assume he'll be playing there 

[dentalplan]

It'd be nice to imagine the move up to arenas is gonna mean the prices will be like that of a band on their first arena tour. But seeing as previous gigs were already more than that, this is gonna be fat stacks.

agreed.

Bad Seeds at Wembley would be horrific unless its half the hall, like Opeth did.

Do you know roughly what the capacity is for the Brighton Centre?

[mungo57]

just typed 'axs venues london' into Google - seems they also do some ticketing for Royal Albert Hall - THAT would be the perfect place for the bad seeds to play.

Around 5000. It's usually always the smallest venue on people's tour. For example, Stereophonics did it on the same tour they sold out the O2.

I think it's around 5,000

Cheers, not sure whether to go for Brighton rather than O2, but would mean I'm more likely to leave empty handed on ticket day..

I'm still struggling to imagine bad seeds at the o2.

From AXS' website its either Hammersmith, Ally Pally, Wembley, O2 or RAH. I'd sooner have RAH or Hammersmith

[DownboundTrain52]

Hammersmith also done by Eventim too.

I'm thinking it's Hydro, MEN, Nottingham, Brighton and two nights at Hammersmith right now.

As long as they don't do floor seating and you get standing tickets it doesn't really matter if you're near the front at the O2 or Brixton or wherever. It's pretty much a waste of time watching from the upper tiers though, especially at the O2, where you're looking down at the top of the performers' heads.

I won't go to gigs at the o2 unless I get standing or tiered seats near the stage. Just not worth it.

That and the sound tends to be a bit flat, unless you're NIN and the sound gets whacked up to 11

 

been seated stalls and gallery at Hammersmith and wherever you sit the view is good, couldn't concur for Brixton though as I have never sat there. I don't get on well with unreserved seating

I saw Nick Cave in arena in 2008. It's actually not that different, he makes it special and intimate even there

I'd definitely pick Hammersmith out of that lot. I hate ally pally. I never have had a good view and it's an arse-ache to get home from. RAH is good but ticket prices will be through the roof...

 

[LiamMcMillen]

It's the O2.
