I'd have asked for an autograph..

There have been some very poor orchestral versions of pop hits over the years, but these were great.

A number of things happening since the summer did make me wonder about selling my second row tic ...

I have emailed tickets@barbican about it.

"We are aware of a problem with the e-ticket PDF system caused by high volumes of traffic on the website this morning. We have since disabled this t ...

The one I am thinking of was around them selling tickets their own staff had been buying in order to tout in this way.

When I look at the confirmation email from the Barbican, it says the 'ticket' is in a PDF attachment, but there are no attachments.

Same here? Assumed it was because I gave my work e-mail and secur ...

I thought steps were being taken to prevent these horrible companies buying up the best tickets, obviously it didn't work. Robbing b*stards

When I look at the confirmation email from the Barbican, it says the 'ticket' is in a PDF attachment, but there are no attachments.

Is this common to everyone or just me?

It's working - still plenty available... got one at the front of the stalls.

I am seeing 'sold out', but that is probably - I hope - because of it being in my browser's cache.

I wonder if this will be the first concert in years where they don't perform "This Town"???

First concert in two days, you mean!

I wasn't expecting it, so when Ron tested the key ...

P.S. Does Intro (Reprise) now hold the crown for the only album track never played live?

Wasn't that - somewhat extended! - what the burning of the 20 album covers was done to?

The sound was terrible in the venue, from the centre front, left front and right front.

Well, for those of us in the cheap, erm, 'same price but much higher up' seats, it was ok.

The best sound ...

About the only complaint I have is that some fans are a bit tall :) Apart from that, even the crowded nights have been a delight to be at - even in the middle of the crowd, there's been no problems wi ...

I've already seen them do this album 3 times, but I couldn't resist in the end.

This was on my 'must see' list and didn't disappoint.

As someone who is still a little annoyed at having missed t ...

Anyhow spent the rest of the night upstairs for the first time. Had to stand on chair to see.

Yeah, that balcony is not set up for more than the front 'row' to be able to see the stage.
