I didn't think he would tour again, but my friend just txt me and said he's doing a 23-date tour in London! I jumped out of bed, had a look online and scored three tickets for one of the shows, and it's on my birthday!

Hell Yeah!

    Thats a bit harsh, I wish he was playing other dates than London also but I am not going to resort to name calling.

    If I can get tikets I may try and get to London to see him though, I think he is brilliant.
    Astoria 20/04/06, Leeds 25/08/06, Prague 22/09/06, Wembley 18/06/07,
    Dusseldorf 21/06/07, Manchester 17/08/09, London 18/08/09, LA 06/10/09, LA 07/10/09.

    Ain't gonna be any middle anymore.

    Oh my god!!! Ross, did you tell Dave about this?!

    EDIT: He does now... we're in agreement, you're a git :p
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    exactly... has he now turned into Prince...


    as Jeebus once said:-
    let me not come to them but let them come unto me.

    ok i made that up.

    23 dates in London is a bit much though...

    yeah i'm jealous. :D
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Well it's official...I'm an idiot.

    In my excitement/anxiety I bought tickets as quickly as possible from paperticket.co.uk only to find out a few mins later that it's a 'potentially fraudulent' website and loads of people have had problems with it.

    I called the bank straight away and because nothing had appeared on my debit card transactions yet, they told me to cancel the card i paid with and they won't be able to take money for the tickets.

    So, I am once again without tickets :(

    I heard about this... I'm sorry :(

    {{{hugs}}}

    We'd really love to go but tickets are expensive and getting scarce :(

    I wanted to see Russell Brand in February too but that's sold out :(

    I do have tickets for the Mighty Boosh next month though ;)

    eek not a big fan of either of those. Izzard is becoming less likely as the hours pass by, they're selling out quickly :(

    Once again the whole ticket selling business is exposed. 23 shows sold out, not a single seat available...unless you go to the unnofficial sellers i.e Ebay etc.
    There you can get front row, back row, aisle seat, balcony....whatever you want. But why, again I ask, why should I pay £200 to see Eddie Izzard, when he thinks tickets to his shows are £25 !!!! ??????
    I mean, surely there has to come a time when this will be stopped.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....
