Speaking of that, Catfish and the Bottlemen are doing Manchester too. How are the sales for their Spurs and Cardiff shows going?

London standing was sold out, but seats basically untouched, last I checked.

Sounds about right. Think Iron Maiden will have some similar difficulties with London Stadium, though most of the lower bowl is gone there.

All the ticketing sites now posting "SOLD OUT" for all dates including See and G+T, but I genuinely cannot find a single post from somebody who bought a ticket to any show on either site, what do we reckon happened here? They passed over their allocation to TicketMaster after admitting to the promoter that the websites were completely f**ked and not coming back online today? 

[NorthernSoul52]

Nah. Most likely they just had a hyper-limited allocation. SJM were putting on the Oasis shows, for example, so they had a larger portion perhaps.

They were reporting sold out for the arena dates so if nothing else some demand was there. Guess we'll see whether this was just biting off more than they could chew.

 

At the very least I'd have thought if it was a UK exclusive date like when Depeche Mode played there in 2017 (or at least was until they announced 3 arena shows for later in the year), that might've helped.

Yeah, exactly. I'd have sold that show first, then added the regionals.

 

Looking this morning, Maiden have shifted more than I thought. Most of standing gone, lower bowl seats left are only hotel package ones, and the entire middle of the top tier at the rear - the cheap seats - are done and gone.

 

Maybe six or seven thousand left? That's doable to shift between then and now. They might do it.

Ran a poll … there were some purchases on gigs and tours and see . Small sample I know
