Hopefully I'll get there this time.

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:53 pm**

Are we expecting this to become two nights or do you think its a big one off show?

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:45 pm**

I've just wet my pants. October can't come quick enough. Just checked the Albert Hall diary, nothing on the 10th,11th or 12th. Hope the Monday will be added to make it 2 nights. Is it to much to ask for 3 nights? I think not.

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:52 pm**

Well done ATP, I love that ad.

Iâ€™ll be there, I never went to the first one as did not have a pot to piss into at the time.

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2011 5:01 pm**

NME report on the show has added the words "career spanning set" which I don't think I've seen anywhere else - wonder if that's legit???

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2011 5:05 pm**

For one i'm very happy that I will meet up with friends from all over the world again.
I look forward to it and I'll be going.

Good luck in the cyberspace line.

A problem with pre-sales links - there's a surprise!

Thanks for these, fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Yay!! 2 days after my birthday!! I remember the last RAH gig was around the same time. See you there!!!

Posted: **Tue Mar 08, 2011 8:22 pm**

In hopes of recreating October 2009, I'm going to buy a ticket and hopefully everything will fall into place.

still says tix on sale from friday - is this gonna change, or is there an actual atp presale link?

thanks, G.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:46 am**

Just followed the see-tickets link and it says tickets are on sale Weds 9 March at 8.55 am.These are arena standing at Â£36.25 (booking fee) This has changed since looking last night.
I'm assuming the ATP link will also go live before 9.00 am
Good luck all

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 7:23 am**

yeah, seen the 'seeyoucoming' site has the pre-sale details, but would prefer to buy via atp if possible, yet no change on that link

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:06 am**

50 minutes until sale time.

Sitting here in the states with beer and the best chips + salsa combo on earth (El Nopalito in Encinitas, for anyone in southern California) waiting for the tickets to go on sale.

Life is good ("slide").

This will probably piss off a lot of people. I think the same thing happened with the don't look back shows 2 years ago.

FYI, the seetickets link is the one with the presale. Starts 8:55am in the UK (1am pacific time).

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:38 am**

see tickets now put date back to Fri 11 9.00 am
Whats going on?

Just got my tickets.

General admission? What's up with this? I hope there isn't a pit and then assigned seating around it..........fuck.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:59 am**

Got my tix. Arena standing only at SeeTickets.
Maybe the other outlets will have more options.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:00 am**

See Tickets on sale now, got a standing ticket.

That was relatively painless!

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:00 am**

is the pre sale just for standing tickets?

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:01 am**

I think so. I'm guessing there's a pit (orchestra area) for GA, then seating all around it. Still good 'seats' if you don't mind standing.

Beware, I might start moshing.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:02 am**

Got my two

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:03 am**

what am I doing wrong. Clicking on the links but not getting to the tickets for sale section on any of the websites??!!

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:03 am**

ATP site has nothing as of yet.

UGH!

M

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:03 am**

Arena standing as well.
Don't know what happened to my see tickets link - my pc linked to presale at 8.55 today and two laptops kept linking me to friday 9.00 am. Nevermind --- I'm in

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:04 am**

seetickets has them right now! look for they "buy tickets" button right under the show info.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:05 am**

got my 2

seemed real easy, but didnt seetickets make everyone sweat when the RFH shows were on??

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:07 am**

None of them are listing the tickets to buy no matter where I go....ATP, Albert Hall, SeeTickets, Star Green. For fuck's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:09 am**

This is where it's happening:

http://www.seetickets.com/Event/SPIRITU ... all/545144

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:11 am**

Yeah, got it now thanks. Didn't realise there were 2 links in the e-mail we were sent. Ordering as we speak. How come you can't do the pre-sale direct through the Albert Hall though?

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:12 am**

fuck, i didn't get the option of the stalled seats.

No big deal though. I'll stand.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:15 am**

Seetickets site says tickets on sale friday each time i try. !!!

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:16 am**

just bought stall seats, no seat/row numbers, so are they unallocated and it's first come first served?

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:17 am**

See Tickets now has Stalls as well on sale. Gone for that instead (as well)

Luckily I accidentally chose the 'cancellation protection' when I got the arena pit tickets.
I was a bit miffed at first, to see the total price hit Â£80 for 2, but it's turned out ok in the end.

BTW, don't panic if you haven't got tix yet, I don't think they're selling out as quickly as you might fear.
If anyone is still struggling the link is
http://www.seetickets.com/Event/SPIRITU ... pre=spirit

Now, just have to Tweet to the world that I have tickets, because I'm very, very sad, and then off to work a bit late (I did warn them I would be)

Good luck everyone

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:18 am**

cotton, i don't know what to tell you. Try quitting out of your browser and reopening. Maybe even try using a different browser if you have one on your computer. I wouldn't be worried about getting a ticket though....

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:18 am**

Got my 3 tickets for a total of Â£114....Â£38 per ticket seems rather steep doesn't it? Weird how only the SeeTickets link and none of the others on the ATP site seemed to work for the pre-sale. Nothing to do with their massive fees then?!

Sorry, I'll stop moaning now. I'm just pleased I'm going to see my favourite band in an amazing venue. By the way....was there standing at the original RAH gig?

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:20 am**

no standing as far as I remember 14 years ago

hope there are balloons again!

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:21 am**

jesus son, Can we not choose which seats, i know exactly the ones i want. The same as the last time they were on there.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:23 am**

I'm umming and ahhing about buying a couple of stalls tickets too now....

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:24 am**

two stalls purchased but not allowed to even see which seats?

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:26 am**

cottonfever wrote:jesus son, Can we not choose which seats, i know exactly the ones i want. The same as the last time they were on there.

I can only guess that the stall seats are a free for all, the ones higher up should be sold with an allocated row number but they don't appear to be on pre-sale. So I think this may mean getting there early to get your preferred spot, let's hope the support is good, and/or they have the Ashley Wales mobile disco again.

Posted: **Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:29 am**

Just found this info on Theatremonkey.com:

STALLS
Eleven tiered rows of seats, encircling the arena and slightly above it. Seats in blocks G, H, J, L, M and O (except those seats in blocks J2 and L1 which already face the stage) swivel to allow a better view of the stage.

Blocks H2 and M1 are prime, then H1, M2, O1 and G1. Next come L2 and J1 then K1 and 2. L, J and K are towards the rear of the arena, further from the stage. Sound can suffer for orchestral concerts in these blocks.

The stage often juts out in front of the first six seats in block G1 / last six in block O1, placing you level with the performers. The rear corners of O1 and G1 are often sold as restricted view and are a bargain.

Monkey regular seat connoisseur James says,
"Have sat in various seats in Stalls blocks J2, K1, K2 and L1 for the Proms â€“ great sound and a good view from every seat Iâ€™ve had. Although for the I would recommend sitting from row 3 backwards if you want a clear view of the stage as your view can be obscured by the heads of those standing in the Arena!"

The monkey notes that the arena is used for standing space for the annual "Proms" season and a few pop concerts each year.

Reader Cristopher H opines, for an "Opera In The Round" production (Carmen in March 2009),
"We were seat in the stalls Block M2 seats 92 and 93 and the view was great! we had one eye on the amazing bullfight and other in the arena where Carmen was being killed, I recommend these seats to anyone.

The Royal Albert was not in its full splendour, as the organ was hidden; but as always it's awe striking to see the auditorium itself. Drinks are very expensive and the toilets aren't very accessible but this was overshadowed by the performance."

Further round, another reader adds,
"Block O row 1: This was an OK seat, it was great being close to the front... but you are behind the performer (as I was for the show I saw - Katherine Jenkins in December 2009) so I'm not sure I'd like to sit there again; and for people paying full price I would advise them to sit one block further round."

He also observes that,
"For another show I was sat in block H row 10 seat 30. This was a great seat to see the conductor and the orchestra and somewhere I would recommend for concerts."

In block J1 the best seats are: row 1 seats 32 to 42, row 2 33 - 43, 3: 36 - 45, 4: 37 - 47, 5: 38 - 49, 6 and 7: 40 - 51, 8: 42 - 54, 9: 43 - 56, 10: 45 - 58 and 11: 45 to 58.

In block L2 the best seats are: row 1 seats 79 - 69, 2: 82 - 72, 3:88 - 78, 4: 93 - 82, 5: 96 - 86, 6: 103 - 92, 7: 107 - 96, 8: 111 - 99, 9: 117 - 105, 10: 122 - 109, 11: 115 - 28.

Wheelchair space is available in blocks G, H, J, L, M and O. Users should choose this last after a box. See notes.

Legroom is good in all seats.

Think its going to be a day off work jobby isn't it. Be good to meet up with a load of you....especially those travelling from overseas. Wonder if they'll be playing any festivals beforehand. If they played at my first ever Glasto, that really would make 2011 a very special year.

But I feel optimistic that the seats allocated first in the stalls will be the best. They seem to be in the 9th row.
