Raising money for the kimono-clad fox-killer's "Good" Law Project.

Definitely one to avoid!

Ince couldn't match the style of John Cooper Clarke if his petulant life depended on it.

Taken From an ancient Young Ones Annual:

"The poet John Cooper Smellybum was just getting famous when it was pointed out he should change his name because some people were upset.

So now he's Steve Cooper Smellybum"

Oh yes. Although he is more likely to be able to self fund than she is (assuming he feels strongly enough to do so).

I got this response from the venue management team when I asked how the toilets would be managed:

"We remain committed to creating an inclusive and respectful environment for at OVO Arena Wembley. All guests can use the toilets that align with their gender identity. Trans Mission: A Solidarity Concert will have male, female, and all-gender facilities available."

Ruh roh.

We have one in Dublin too - similarly named after the colour of the wood its carved from.
Legend has it that the the gold crown on the statue was used in the coronation ceremony of Lambert Simnel.

The 'Black Madonna' in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in France is black as in Black as in skin colour.. It's not actually a representation of Mary though, so isn't a 'Madonna'.

Ah the Bridget solution.

We'll definitely have single sex facilities, to provide a contained backdrop of females for men's enactment of gender on them, and certain men may claim to be any sex they choose.

Wafflybollocks.

Potential new duo for the line up?

As expected, it's all starting to go a bit wrong. Massively undersold, by the looks of it:

Had a couple of concerning emails today and I can’t make out what’s gone on…? So after my accomodation on the night fell through ( I had planned and spoken with a cousin about staying at his ), I decided to sell my ticket via AXS - where I originally bought the ticket - but apparently that listing has been cancelled?

My original ticket had been situated in E1, so right at the back of the venue… there were numerous tickets left available - including a couple of other resales - in that block when I last checked. Now, that entire block is unavailable, my listing deleted and the ticket reallocated in E2. Has this happened to anyone else?

I have no recollection of actually cancelling the listing, so I wonder if they’ve decided to make that area unavailable altogether and move anyone from that block elsewhere…?

The trouble I now have is that if I go ahead and sell this new ticket, I’m definitely losing out on money - where as I was just about making my money back on the original ticket. My plan is to try and contact AXS tomorrow and work out what’s gone on.

Oh dear.

Availability of tickets.

Well there's still standing tix available (never a good sign).

A couple of those blocks are misleading as there's only a couple of tix available for resale in them. I suspect other blocks are not being sold at all (it's unlikely corner seats have sold out before some of the other blocks)

However there's also blocks which are maybe half sold.

Looks like there's probably a load of corporate seating that's been sold from the look of the plan.

At most the venue is about 50% capacity.

Weird. Sad times.

I wonder which businesses are buying corporate tickets

The Metro had a puff piece for the event this week. Some beardy they/them singer I'd never heard of claimed as a marginalised person his rights were directly linked to refugees and Palestinians.

Pop stars used to be dickheads in more entertaining ways.

Guardian comparing it to Live Aid with a straight face.

“Anti-trans activists, who had begun by focusing on women’s sports and women’s prisons, escalated to restricting trans healthcare and excluding trans people from all single-sex spaces.”

Don’t make us tap the sign, Graun.

Quite a few balcony blocks never were available (see my post earlier in this thread that I cba to look for 😄)

They seem to be consolidating what few back balcony tickets they have sold into two blocks.

Good point about Standing Room tickets still being available. Not good.

There certainly seems to be a bit of a desperate PR push atm!

Let's just wait for the sad news of performers who have sudden clashes of commitments...

Also, clearly, no money for Not A Phase or Grift Law Project will actually be raised, after costs.

They may have been set aside for promoter to give away, not necessarily sold.

Lots of competition giveaways there then!

Lol

From that Guardian piece:

The government has yet to approve or reject guidelines by the Equality and Human Rights Commission that could exclude trans people from spaces such as public toilets

Er, no. Nobody is being excluded from public toilets or anywhere else. Since when did the Graun start straight-out lying?

I am.genuinely surprised its not selling. A really strong line up, lots of puff from sympathetic media, lots of PR from influencers etc. Is it possible everyone is sick to the back teeth of the tedious, fatuous, virtue signalling drag?

Didn't Wolf Alice win something at the Brits? You'd think they'd be a draw.
