Right that's 9 tickets booked for The Union Chapel - well what else is there to do on Christmas Eve? A small Scrooge-like grumble - how can the agents charge a 10% mark-up on each ticket plus postage? Somebody has just pocketed £18 after I've done all the work of booking.  Especially galling as there is no alternative method of booking at this venue such as a box office where you can pop in to get tickets. Compare this with the South Bank or Barbican where there is just a flat rate booking/postage fee of £1.50 or so. Mutter, mutter, grumble, grumble ... But we are looking forward to it though and will make sure we get there early to get a good pew  |

I know this is not always easy but I resent giving away hard earned for no reason. A |

Just booked tickets for the Stables in Feb - virtually nearly fully booked - I could only get 2 seats together in the balcony seats on the LH side, that'll learn me for leaving it so late!

There may be some odd single seats around the place (probably best to phone them) if you don't mind not sitting with whoever you've gone with...
Or you could try St Albans? I normally go there, but will be in Scotland this year.

Shame they're not coming to Wales Weston SM is the nearest and that's well over an hour's drive away. Never mind, I'm sure I'll see them in August  |

I have one ticket for the Union Chapel concert on Sat 7th Feb. I cannot use it as I'm going to see James McMurtry at the Luminaire, Kilburn on the same night. I bought the Fairport ticket before I found out he was touring Europe for the first time.
Happy to sell the Fairport ticket at face value-£20. It's an e-ticket from WEGOTTICKETS which I can reallocate with a new name and email address. Hope someone can make use of it.

Lawks! Glad I got bored on Christmas Eve and got ours ordered. Should be a good night - wonder what time the queue will start forming to get a front row pew? |

Oh no, it's NOT......not sure when this happened, but there are certainly more on sale now, both via We Got Tickets and See tickets. We Got Tickets - cheapest for booking fees, but as you don't get a hard ticket, you have to queue to show your credit card for ID, while those who paid more through See Tickets and get a hard ticket waltz past into the front seats.... Payz yer money & take yer choice....both have extra tickets now. |

There are rumours that FC are playing the Corn Exchange in Hertford.
No date yet, but hey, I could walk there !
