Kate Bush concert

corm500

The unbelievable has happened and Kate Bush is going to play 15 nights at the London Apollo in August and September. What are the chances she might play here?

delbertgrady

It's not impossible, but I think it's interesting that she's doing so many shows in one (small) venue, which takes a lot of the trappings of "touring" out of the equation. It's just a residency. Demand for this will be huge.

sadie06

Oh my God. I would literally kill for a ticket.

seandotcomm

tickets onsale in a week. I'm gona be panicking like a lunatic now for the next 7 days over whether I'll be able to get a ticket, but this is incredible news. So unexpected..

delbertgrady

Tickets are limited to four per booking and photo ID will be required to be presented on the night by the person whose name the tickets were booked under.
No eBay killings to be made here, unless the vendor arranges to meet you at the venue on the night.

Dan_Solo

What is the capacity of the venue? How many tickets in total would that be?
She should just keep playing there until they stop selling... (might be the only chance I have of getting one!)

I thought it was a windup when I heard that announcement.

Great news, I suspect the tickets will go in a flash.

OldGoat

Am already arranging somewhere to stay in London for whatever night I manage to get tickets.
I feel as giddy as a Garth Brooks fan on the eve of a Croke Park gig.

The Apollo is about 3,500 capacity for a fully seated show.

I feel there is very little chance of getting tickets so.

Will they go out through Ticketmaster?

Read her website it tells you which vendors are being used. TM is on the list.

Grid.

I did a double take when I seen this on the Beeb:eek: Would love a ticket for one of the shows!!

seandotcomm

Just got an email with a presale code
Can only be used once though so cant share it unfortunately. You're only eligible for the presale if you're signed up to the mailing list before 1st of March 2014

Was only talking to my wife the other day about Kate Bush, saying that i'd love to see her live but she doesn't tour anymore!!

And i hate this name Evenim Apollo, It's the HAMMERSMITH ODEON FFS, the place is legendary and they change it to a poxy name

karaokeman

Christ, just goes to show as you get older less can surprise you.

Have to get myself a ticket before her next 35-year hiatus.

Sikpupi

This thread brings me back to my student days and the use of toilet graffitti..

... and in this case .

".... 1 in Kate Bush is worth 10 in the hand.."

still makes me smile after all these years!!!

PS...no offence made here !

scudzilla

Tickets priced from £49 to £135

Been to the Hammersmith Odeon a few times, presuming the cheaper (??) seats will be in the circle at the back

dolittle

the rules are very strict on her site regarding the tickets
only 4 allowed per person, 4 for 1 gig, 2 for 2 gigs etc
the ticket buyer has to be attending the concert, i.d. required
and speculation that the tickets were bought thru touts, you wont be allowed in

losthorizon

Will you be able to attempt to buy tickets for this on ticketmaster.ie?

No, co.uk only, and then they're only one of the sellers, so maybe they'll only have access to 25% (guess) of total tickets

lordgoat

NO MORE ASKING FOR PRESALE CODES.

It's getting boring for anyone that wants to contribute to the thread.

You seem pretty confident there OldGoat using the old American Express card?.

Best of luck anyway , I'm torn between trying it online or going to a ticketmaster outlet in town ( Dub ). It's not the end of the world if I don't get one , they might record a show for DVD release. I could see there being a pretty big production with dancers , set pieces , projections etc.

I actually had nightmares last night about not getting tickets, lol.

Nice one

Out of interest, how much were these?

atgate

I'm going opening and second night :-)
My tickets were £135 each plus booking fee.

dolittle

i could get past the not on sale screen, got to a for sale but didn't even get to the fan drop down screen, this was at 9:30...they went very quick

Wow, I wish I had gone for the opening night but I was afraid it'd be the first to sell out so I opted for the 5th of September thinking everyone would be going for the first few. Huge relief anyway that I got tickets. Would love to go multiple nights but I was getting tickets for another 2 people as part of my allocation of 4

Here's my fantastically illustrated map to our seats I just sent my group, lol

Use the link in the email from fish people. I couldn't get to the presale directly with eventim.co.uk I had to use the link in the email with the presale code.

Give it a go - there may still be a ticket or two as loads of people seem to be getting caught out with this.

St. Leibowitz

I got 2 x tickets for 2 x nights earlier.

It's still showing as tickets available for all nights on the fan pre-sale. If you have a code, you still should be able to get tickets.

Can I ask- ticketmaster.ie has the concert listed for sale this Friday- so can I attempt to buy them there?

Now our chances are only one in a zillion, not one in a gazillion like they were before.

S.M.B.

I'm one in a zillion!!!!

OldGoat

Yes! Sorted for the 23rd.

Got Stalls, Row F for September 20th.
Delighted.

abelard

I....think I got some!

Got the 7 minute reservation thing to go through payment. Was trying with my Debit Card by Lloyds Bank kept ****ting the bed. Switched to Amex at the last second and I think it actually worked!

I have an email with an order number and it shows up as "paid" in the Eventim "My Tickets" section so hoping that does actually mean they're mine (likely being irrational here).

I don't think I could take the disappointment now if it doesn't pan out for some reason. Just very glad I have an Amex and wasn't relying on Lloyds Bank alone!

Still in shock. One phone call and got two great seats in the stalls for Friday 12th :):):)

Dan_Solo

After ages processing with a 09:30 attempt it told me there were no tickets. Then everything else gone. Bloody hate Ticketmaster, why can't it just tell you what the ticket availability is on the main gig page instead of making you try to book them?

Looks like I'm the only one here who didn't make it. Well done all! May your F5 remain strong and true.
