!!!!!Raconteurs at Brixton Academy - Help needed!!!!!

[titchy]

Raconteurs dh's current fave band - playing at Brixton Academy a week before his birthday. Promised dh I'd get tickets as an early birthday present. Meant to do it last week, and stupidly told dh that I'd sorted it. Have just got round to it today and SOLD OUT!!!!!!!!

Help!!!! Anyone got any bright ideas? Or even better a pair of tickets? On EBay there are seveal available but it looks like I'd have to pay £70+ for two £20 tickets! (Mental note to start buying tickets and selling them on Ebay)

When is it and how many do you need?

Hello??????????????????????????

I would like to help but I need to go and do some work at 2pm!!

It's either Thursday 19th or Friday 20th October (don't care which) and I need 2!

and do you want stalls or circle or are you not bothered?

Stalls ideally but will take seats if necessary. Can you really help??!!!!

I will go and investigate and come back in a bit.

If you can find something you will have my heartfelt appreciation! will wait in hope.....

Sorry, she does not have any spares, is being inundated.

sorry for getting your hopes up.

Oh well - thanks for trying!

iv just had a look on stargreens website, i think they might have some, but dont get your hopes up, they might not have updated the site, give it a go

just checked again and im pretty sure they have them for the friday, hope you get them!

sorry cant do links but www.stargreen.com

If this doesn't work out, just keep checking brixton academy site, and Way Ahead and others, because if those nights sold out fast, they normally extend the run to subsquent nights.

To add - they are playing thursday and friday so far, and their next listed date is the sunday in bristol, so I think it's a fair bet that they will announce an extra brixton show on the saturday, so look out for it.

If not, £70 ebay isn't so bad, as the seller would have paid £40 plus booking fee which would bump it up to nearly £50 so you're only paying an extra tenner per ticket.

Blimey aren't you brilliant lanismum! Just bought 2 tickets for Friday - circle but hopefully we'll be able to sneak into the stalls area! How come this website has tickets and none of the others do then? Some of the larger tickets 'brokers' (aka legal touts) are selling tickets for £80 a pop!!!!!!

Oh Mumsnet is wonderful!!!!!!

Dad - the Friday date was extra as Thursday sold out so quickly, and if you look at their schedule it's pretty hectic (touring the States for 2 weeks just before UK tour) so I reckon they'll be having a well earned rest on Saturday. Having sadi that I'll keep checking and maybe I'll flog my Friday tickets on Ebay for a small fortune

Nice one.

It's not easy getting in downstairs with circle tickets. They are on the lookout for that. If you know people with tickets downstairs, then it's ok, because you can get one of them to come back out into the foyer with their own ticket and one or more from anyone else you know downstairs, and they can pass you a downstairs ticket iyswim.

excellent, glad you got them, i always use stargreen, usually just go into the shop as its just off oxford street, hope you enjoy the show, im quite jealous
