Re: Hammersmith Apollo March 2015

The London dates are 6 months after the album release so who knows if there will be other UK dates later.

Perhaps Street Team Eric can enlighten us.

Re: Hammersmith Apollo March 2015

Surely the UK tour won't just be London? In other news,somebody on the classic rock site claims that California breed are special guests at the London shows.sounds a bit suspicious to me.

There might be a special guest each night like another guitarist as in the past but there will not be a support group.

Re: Hammersmith Apollo March 2015

California Breed? That is a joke or someone trying to stir it up. I believe that bridge is burned.

Re: Hammersmith Apollo March 2015

WTF is going on?

Presale is limit of 2 tickets per credit card and you have to buy the new album. Not impressed at all!!

Edit : Ok you can bypass the album but it still a 2 ticket limit!!

Re: Hammersmith Apollo March 2015

Only 106 quid tix available?

Must have sold out. I ended getting 2 rear stalls standing as I was needing 5 so hopefully friends can get another 3. Otherwise it would have been 3 bookings in different seats. Other fans are going to have the same problem. Wouldn't have taken much for us to be told this ticket limit in advance so people could change arrangements.

Re: Hammersmith Apollo March 2015

Well I love Joe B and was looking forward to this, but what's with the ridiculous ticket prices?!  Apart from standing at the back, or sitting right at the back of the balcony, all tickets are priced at almost £120 EACH including the booking fees.  That's double what he normally charges.  Yes I know it includes the new album, which I will of course get anyway, but still.  I guess the prices are an unfortunate greedy management decision.

Re: Hammersmith Apollo March 2015

At these prices and on the back of the previous Amsterdam discussions, I am guessing that both bands are going to play London.

Perhaps he will come back to the UK later with one band and at more affordable prices.

That's what I figured, but I went on the website bang on 9 o'clock. I'll have to take my chances cos tbh, 120 quid for one show stretches things a bit, when you have aspirations of taking in a run of three!!

Makes the lithographs more affordable now (J&R that's not an invitation to increase) with the m&g privilege that comes with it

My price came in at over 134 including the album - WTF!!!!!

Re: Hammersmith Apollo March 2015

Sorry, but i'm out. The price is just crazy.

Also, I have a couple of work colleagues whose son and daughter saw Joe at Clapham and were looking forward to a full show at Hammy. They've bailed too. Wonder how many potential new fans it has alienated.

Am sure it will be a brilliant set of shows and that Joe will give his all, but I guess i'll just read about it instead.

Fingers crossed Kenny is right and we get a smaller, more affordable tour later in the year.

Apologies if this stokes a few flames, but why does music eventually become a domain for the rich fan only.

Re: Hammersmith Apollo March 2015

The prices are an absolute joke! Ive seen Joe 4 times before and I dont think the total cost was more than £117

I dont know if its a management decision or Joe's decision but whoever is responsible needs to take a good look at themselves

I could use a little more cowbell
