We waited for ages got to the your next when it took us to a new list... really really annoying...last time me thinks..
It seems so impersonal the way you have to get these tickets nowadays..you can't even Phone the venue's or get emails back..sad times imo
Well done to all that's got thier choice of venues

    Ya its really odd the price point they had for these tickets. I thought they would have seen how hot the market was after Prague sold so poorly in 2021 after close to selling out in 2018. On top of that they chose two nights at the same location. No chance these even come close to selling out unless they drop the price of the uppers.

    Both nights in Barcelona have thousands of seats available, many sections with not one seat sold. Night 2 wouldnt even be half sold. How has this happened? Too expensive or what?

    my browser didnt found any tickets when i looked and said it was sold out , u are right.

    Yeah, check the prices of the lower seats and standing. People just haven't got that kind of money. 

    First time my wife has missed a tour in over 10 years (she's more of a casual fan but likes to catch them once per tour) but when I mentioned the pricing she was like no way.

    300's are cheaper. 

    200's should have been cheaper.

    Wonder if these were announced before Christmas, would it have sold better. The very back seats about 10 rows of them are cheaper but still expensive.

    Well, I was there last night and I can tell you it was RAMMED. Not a visible seat in the 200s, didn’t fully scan the 300s but they were busy too, and the floor was packed. And above all, it was a truly fantastic show. Eddie was in fine form, pitch perfect, and the band was hyper. Some brilliant deep cuts as well (Habit, In My Tree).

    So… no mistakes were made? 🤷‍♂️

    I was there too.  Agree the show was great.

    Front half of the floor was packed but the back was empty from the mixing board and back.  Like nobody at all empty.  You could have set up a basketball court with the space.  Prime side stage sections were tarped over as were a number of other sections throughout the venue.  I was in a great section but changed rows a few songs in to have 3 seats to myself instead of 1.  It was a good crowd for sure but rammed? No.  Only the front half of the floor was that.

    Great show, but at least 10 sections were tarped off and it was easy to get to within 10 people at the front.

    Did I fall asleep and somehow missed Corduroy? It was on the setlist.

    Can’t confirm your sleep status but can confirm Corduroy happened.

    Glad you had a great time as in the end it it doesn't matter what's behind you, it's the show that is put on infront if you that matters. Delighted for everyone that the show went ahead. 

    In terms of mistakes, unless they planned on having empty sections, giving away tickets, reducing prices, yes no mistakes were made.
