Hammersmith 2015 (Page 1 of 2)

I agree that you've got to set yourself a limit otherwise you just feel shafted. I was a bit worried about how much Joe would charge for shows in Munich in February 2015, but at 89 EUR for 5th row tickets it's acceptable. So really hope Hammersmith and the Carre in Amsterdam are one offs and we will not be totally priced out in future.

I too thank Peter for the follow-on. A number of folks that post here felt priced out. A far greater number that don't post purchased tickets at the price. Proof that the price was fairly marketed to a majority of fans. Prices over here have held to the level of a year ago more or less so far. The pair I just got via PBS were about $120 face value in an ultra prime venue that has an intimate atmosphere and reduced seating capacity. These were not in the first 4 or 5 rows since the venue reserves those for special high-roller packages with a room and dinner. San Diego is an affluent city. That venue always sells out at whatever price they choose to charge.

Ticketmaster is not the only ticket seller and there are still plenty of seats available from Eventim with only the downstairs standing tickets at the back of the stalls sold out for the first two nights. There are fewer tickets available for the Friday and Saturday night shows, which isn't surprising.

The Apollo shows are not yet sold out and there have been regular ads in the London evening newspaper for these shows over recent weeks. It is unusual for there still to be tickets for Joe's London shows, hence the ads. I expect the shows will sell out eventually, but it may mean the audience is made up of mostly part time music fans and not the hard core that have been at previous London shows.

If anyone has a spare standing stalls ticket for the first night on the 17th March, please let me know.

I had been wondering and almost started a new post.

out of a theatre that seats about 4,000 +/- how many are real hard core Joe fans and how many are first timers (this goes for any of his shows).

I was guessing that maybe about 1,500 are hard core, in pretty much any venue

wonder if J&R have any way of telling that kind of stat's

those still aren't as bad as the ones that talk/yell through the entire gig..
I wish the would get up and go get a drink.

HEEEYYY JOOOOooooooeeeeee

[edit]
Then again... rowdy crowds give Joe and the band energy.

Yeah, i would concur on that as well - although, IMO, i think that happens more in the US than here in the UK

Living in the North, it does put an extra whole load of wedge on the cost of attending London gigs. I'm fortunate to be going Fri & Sat and can stay at my uncle's, so just the 4 trains to catch getting down there.

expensive advertising.
