    Currently looking at flights to Sydney and time off work in November, thought if I ever made it to Australia though it would be for the Ashes (cricket for you Americans!)

    It’s certainly going to be interesting to see what the tickets cost is in the EU/UK next time around.
    I have a hard time seeing anyone wanting to ask for less than now, because of the optics. 

    Maybe they won’t releade two nights in the same city at the same time next time.

    2 nights in one city seems to be the way now.
    Maybe your looking at 3/4 cities on the next tour with 2 shows each.
    If they stick to arenas that should be successful

    3x Brixton Academy in London
    - would even work with this ticket strategy because every ENTRY is „worth“ the same. Separate the balcony or not. Prices coming down from XXX£.
    Imagine the queue for gig one through Brixton… because: first in first down at the front of the stage. And there‘s already a second queue - of those people who aiming for their top spot the next night… ;)

    Edit: just checked the exact capacity… 4921 but
    Why is Brixton Academy closed?
    …, 23, and …, 33, died during the incident when fans without tickets forced the doors. A third person has been critically injured in hospital. Following the closure, Police had urged Lambeth Council to remove the Academy's licence.19.04.2024

    So upgrade for the venue in London is needed but it has to be a non-arena venue to ensure all tickets are worth the same.

    Brixton is being booked again now, it's a fantastic venue, one of the best. I'm going to see shed seven there in december

    and which cities and venues they book. 
    Could see the uk missing out next time.
    No chance mate, their fanbase is still solid in the UK.

    Might not have a choice if that's the terms of their insurance after the cancellation claim. Would explain why there was no Amsterdam etc on this euro tour

    Hopefully, if insurance restrictions are an issue it's determined by distance rather than country. Scotland and/or Leeds could then be on the cards!

    Leeds was the best venue I've been to. Also Manchester was just like the 02 so London can be missed no problem.

    I'm about to book my flight to Barcelona, so it is 100% on me if I curse the situation and they cancel.

    there‘s a interesting (venue) drift in the topic here which lead to this…

    No doubt, that was a hell of a night. Manchester was nice and a better venue overall I guess but for the music experience Leeds won hands down. Best venue in the country of that size

    You don’t really want to see Starc bowl 15 maiden overs at the MCG? (Greetings from NY by a lifelong mets fan ;) )

    No 50% drop for Barcelona 1 so far.
    1:15 on showday.
    There‘s not too much emty space - if all remaining seats are visible.
    total unknown is how many tickets are sold for the floor - price still 164,50
