Tickets for Royal Festival Hall show - spares?

[Dirty0900]

Hi all,

I have been trying along with many many people who bought the 5CD box set to get tickets for the gig in October at the Royal Festival Hall. I failed to get anything and the site melted and everything sold out in seconds.

However, if you were one of the lucky people who got through and bought 2 tickets, or are a member and bought 4 tickets yesterday then please if you have any spares, offer them here to the people who need them!

I have at least 2 people who need tickets. Thanks to Mike Bower for reserving one for me yesterday!

That is all.
.....

[Dirty0900]

anyone at all got the dubno ticket email? Really want to get tickets and can provide proof I bought the reissue

[TheBang]

There's discussion of it on Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/underworldlive/posts/10152224908112849

Seems a fair number of people didn't get the e-mail. You're supposed to e-mail hello@underworldlive.com if you didn't get the e-mail, but it may be too late now.

[Dirty0900]

Hmmmm, not worked it seems, gonna have to chance general sale it seems :(

[froopy seal]

Same here.

[woofmute]

Pre-sale tickets all sold out.

[Spooky Shoes]

They went fast, phew.

[Dunwho]

Got one... try again because they were sold out then suddenly more were available... only single tickets though

Got a balcony seating ticket... just the one

[woofmute]

Yeah, I ended up on the balcony too. Shouldn't be too bad considering the layout, I guess.

[Dirty Saint]

Managed to get pair of tickets in row f.... Very painless :)

Can't wait for October!

[Dunwho]

Could only get one myself, sorry dude! They went so fast!

[Dirty0900]

Didn't get the email form presale so hope I can get se
Tomorrow

[Dirty0900]

What's the website for general release tomorrow?

[woofmute]

http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/underworld-85655
Tickets going up at 10am tomorrow.

[Scribble]

I need some too! That pre-sale was a total farce. So please contact me if you have any (seems unlikely :-/ )

[stargurl]

Edit: we got tickets!

[kontakt1968]

In the RFH members area is does say due to high demand there are no more priority tickets but a limited number will be available tomorrow on general release so dont give up hope. Looking at stubhub n viagogo there are suprisingly few tickets so looks like most have gone to fans but with 2500 capacity and a 1 off gig there was enever going to be enough to keep everyone happy.

ha.ha.ha... what a laugh


Otherwise it would have been so nice. I will be on the way home just days before from Orlando and it could have been so perfect to make a stop and see the show.

[Spooky Shoes]

No tickets available

I got that too for a while and kept going, bought tickets at 10:04.

Once tickets are added to the basket they are there for the duration of a timed session, the person has that time to complete payment otherwise they go back to available. Payments also get refused for all sorts of reasons.

Seems to happen to me a lot when buying tickets.

[twicezero]

Didn't get an email about the ticket sale.

gutted.

Might try to get a refund - its bad form

[holden]

Congrats to those who did get tix!

My wife just pre-ordered me the 5CD box. I'm in the US, there's no way i'm going to make the gig, so i'm not fussed with the pre-sale... Just hoping there will be a stream or recording of the gig.

Sorry for those who tried and didn't get tickets. I know it's probably of little consolation, but if anything, the super-rapid sell-out of tickets/crashed site just shows how much interest there still is in the band we love and this classic LP.

Maybe a much larger venue would have been better to accommodate the masses, but it should be a nice intimate show for a lucky few, not a huge festival gig with people shouting lager,lager,lager etc. I feel for those that are real lifelong diehards and came up empty, but on the other hand, everyone thinks they're the biggest fan and deserves it, right?

Good advice to keep in mind for the general onsale, which starts in just under 5 hours!

[jetpig]

But each and every one of us *IS* the biggest and we each *DO* deserve it, right? (Said with a healthy dose of 'I got here 16 years late' sarcasm)

I'm with you though, after purchasing the box set I spent a day desperately digging around for a way to get me and the SO there, but it just wasn't gonna happen on our pay. Hope there's more than just an audience recording, but I'll take what I can get!

Best of luck to those of you fending with the masses for a general sale ticket.

[stimpee]

This is pretty much what happened.

[Pappie]

I think it's an outrage that there are always people that are in it for the money...
Real fans get robbed by these vultures...

Although I have a ticket reserved (Thnx Mike), I will go back on at 10am and try to get 2 more tickets...
And no, I'm not in it for the money... I'm already rich :)

Great times... Great times...

[King of Snake]

strangely, the page for the general sale says "sold out" already, even though it hasn't even started.

[Pappie]

What is the link for that ?

[miss glitch]

Poised...

I feel super-lucky to have a friend who's a South Bank member who only *just* managed to get me a ticket, but I have so many friends who went for pre-sale tickets yesterday only to be disappointed and it looks like loads of people on here had the same experience.

It doesn't seem very fair that only people who pay a premium for memberships/ordering an album they probably already own get a chance to go see them live :(

[miss glitch]

I'm no 509 in the queue...

[wooter]

No idea if this will work, but at least I like this queue system better than Seeticket's.

[stimpee]

Mike says he got to the front and it was all sold out. Im 75 in the queue. i do not hold out much hope.

[miss glitch]

So they keep you in the queue even if it's sold out?!

[stimpee]

I had 3 computers and many browsers. i made it to the front and it is indeed sold out. im still in the queue with the others.

[stargurl]

I woke up just before 5am for this! Never really had much hope :(

Step Three: https://twitter.com/stimpee/status/484991821991661568

FAIL :(

Still makes me wait in the queue for my other sessions! False hope!

[froopy seal]

Getting up at 4:30 am two days in a row didn't pay out. I'm afraid they'll have to do another (series of) concert(s) then.

[Rikkie]

Total #fail for me too. Was about 200 in the queue at 10am, sold out when I got to the front.

Bah.

[vacant]

I was #50 in the queue at about 5 to 10.
Eventually got onto the site just gone 10am, Showed 11 tickets left in the Balcony. picked the last two together on the map and put them in my basket- too late, gone.

Kept refreshing, at about 10 past 10 it showed tickets available again, didn't mess about and just went straight to the 'best available tickets' option. Managed to get one.

[Rikkie]

At 10 past 10? You lucky git! Enjoy.

[Dirty0900]

No luck at all.

Anyone got a spare? I'd happily come down on my own for the gig, get a hotel and then go home after.

Imagine they'd do something like playing a Spoonman/Spoon Deep mini mix which would be amazing.

[Dirty0900]

Lets hope theres some competitions somewhere for this.

Or someone to record it.

[bazwint]

I reckon there will be more shows eventually. They'll probably be playing it for at least two years if they continue with this tribute act incarnation. Perhaps the encore will be a half hour of new stuff. Or maybe KoS and NUXX with the possibility of Moaner.

Whatever, they'll be playing some top tunes at the RFH. Enjoy the show folks.

[nelfun5]

Lets hope theres some competitions somewhere for this.

Or someone to record it.

Yes, those who managed to get tickets and have the gear have THE DUTY not only to record this but to make the neatest gig record of all UW gigography ever. For the sake of solidarity with those who can't be there!

[woofmute]

I have my phone and a camera that only does up to 720p, will get a replacement battery for it. Not sure if it'll like the loudness of the show though, my phone seems to be okay with that sort of thing however. But I worry about it's memory usage. I will be recording at least some of it, if I can't manage to record the whole thing.

Hopefully others will record too. (Maybe we could assemble a video from different recordings using the best audio source? Who knows)

[dc_04]

hi all!

haven't really been around here since the US tour in 2007 (!), but of course i was totally psyched to hear about the dubno reissue and the royal festival hall show. unfortunately, i, like many of you, missed out on tickets :(

i'd like to put my name in the hat for a spare. accommodations are sorted, just need to get in the doors. if any kind soul has one, please do get in touch! :)

thanks folks.. and nice to see you all again!

- dc

[negative1]

that would be cool.
hopefully they will add to the tracks, instead of just doing the album as is.

*Puts hand up v late for a spare*

Gutted to not have a ticket this time :(

That was the problem, you see. I had a meeting at 10:00 so I was already late.
Today I hadn´t even time to think about visiting the Southbank/Royal Festival Hall whatever site.
But hey, somebody need to pay the bills for the Super Deluxe, right? So my work have to get the priority :)

…and will I ever try again? Nope :)

[miss glitch]

They might add another date - it would make sense as there is clearly the demand and it would appease all the people who pre-ordered and didn't get the email/didn't succeed in buying tickets in the five minute window they were available each day...

[Lx_Nen]

Sorry to hear so many people missed out, I hope they add another date - preferably somewhere bigger and without seats.

I was spectacularly lucky, decided not to blow £65 on Southbank membership and took my chances on the preorder link at 9:59am next day. I refreshed once because the site said I was too early, then clicked 'best available'... and ended up with a seat on the front row.

[khouri]

I didn't have any trouble with the UWlive pre-sale. Got the email but was shocked by how many tickets were already gone -- the entire front section. We ended up in row DD. Hard to believe they were all bought by the venue "members" and in the few seconds before I got in. Definitely suspect scalpers. It's truly disgusting how difficult it's become to buy tickets for gigs these days.

[King of Snake]

Tried in the presale, then in the general sale... no dice :(
Would have been nice if they'd reserved some tickets for the long time dirts here, like they did with the Cocoon gig. Hopefully they'll rethink this and add some more performances.

[crazysugarboy]

Here's hoping for at least one extra date, bearing in mind that they arranged 3 dates at the Roundhouse October 07.

[stimpee]

I didn't have any trouble with the UWlive pre-sale. Got the email but was shocked by how many tickets were already gone -- the entire front section. We ended up in row DD. Khouri (and Steph i assume) flying all the way from LA for this gig? Excellent news. Would love to meet up.

[Professor]

+1 ... very very likely.

[thee carp dreamer]

I'm going. Can't wait.

[twicezero]

I missed out the ticket sale entirely due to the ineptitude of who ever Underworld uses to sell their pre-release stuff. To be honest I probably wouldn't have got ticket as they went so fast. But still, DubNoBass was such a formative album for me, I'd love to go.

So, the question is. How much should I pay for a ticket? How much would you pay?

[RandomViolence]

Well, I assume this is a long shot, but if anyone has a spare and wouldn't mind helping out a longtime fan from the states I would mightily appreciate it. Looking at the ticket sites now everything is over $300, which in addition to the airfare from Boston, feels mighty steep. Anyone able to help a former dirtyforum member out?

[Spooky Shoes]

Have anyone's tickets arrived yet? Had a shipping notification a couple of weeks ago but nothing delivered yet.

[Chippy]

Yes, mine arrived a week or so ago.

[vacant]

Same, had it a few weeks now.

[Dunwho]

Oh awesome! I am going to be there on my own. Flying over from Dublin for the day and will be heading home the next day. Would love to take part in a meetup before the gig or something if it is happening. I think I am up in the circle near the front left facing the stage... I think. Tickets arrived the other day.

Can't wait.

[jetpig]

That photo is gorgeous! Grats to all of you who are going and have a great time!

[khouri]

I hope rick is sitting down for the show! He needs a break.

[dandylion]

Mmm - awesome indeed!

If anyone wants to join the party I have one spare ticket.

[WgrahameW]

Hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by posting this here. Sorry if so. :)

I have 2 tickets for Oct 11 at the Royal Festival Hall in London. They're rear stalls, Row DD and I have the tickets at home. I cannot now go. Which I am gutted about.

So, I have two choices. I could try to sell the tickets on the reseller sites (current prices for tickets in this area ludicrous plus even more ludicrous booking fees) or I could do something better, like sell the tickets privately and donate the money raised from one of them to Oscars Fighting Fund - a fund raising site set up by a friend of mine whose 9yo son died earlier this year from a brain tumour - see here http://www.gofundme.com/fightingforoscar for more details. Oscar's dad, Ian is OK with me doing this as they are trying to raise funds for a charity called HeadSmart to raise awareness.

I prefer the latter. So, if you (or someone you know) wants to go to see Underworld get them to get in touch with me - easiest is a DM here or through http://about.me/grahame.whitfield ...the latter will show you that I'm a real live person!

This way, you/someone you know get/s to see something marvellous at a lower price than they'd pay on ViaGoGo or StubHub, I make some money on my ticket that can go towards my saving fund for a TV that I can probably end up watching the gig on at some point (!) and some money goes to a great cause.

I reckon something around £135 per ticket fully inclusive incl registered delivery is a good deal all round. If I can't sell them via this route in the next few days, I'll go down the reseller route and donate the price I get for one ticket. But I thought I'd see if this route was better.

Or make me an offer - Higher or Lower! You can pay the price of one ticket direct to Oscar's fund...and we can arrange how to send the rest to me directly...and how you can best get your tickets..in a way that we both feel happy with! If you prefer, I'll list them on a reseller site and tell you as I do so you can buy them there. If youre near Sheffield, I can probably drop them round to you.

Again, sorry if this is breaking any rules. I'm a newbie here but a longstanding UW addict (and a gutted one at that).

[mel]

I have 1 ticket and may not be able to go :'(
I bought it for £150 after all tickets were sold out and I am willing to sell for £150 if anybody is interested please pm me

[stimpee]

mel: try and sell them on stubhub?

[aramando]

Due to a family health crisis type situation I am unable to attend the London Royal Festival Hall Dubnobasswithmyheadman show next Saturday. I therefore have ONE spare balcony ticket to sell, for which I want nothing more than face value plus costs.

I don't care about seeing proof that you pre-ordered the Dubnobass reissue, the fact that you're on this fan site is enough for me. My only condition is that you registered on here before I posted this message.

I've attached a picture of my ticket for proof. The seat is E42, which is a balcony seat which should have a good view. Obviously you'll be sitting on your own, but I was OK with that so you should be too :-)

I paid a total of £40.81 for my ticket, so I'm asking for £47 via PayPal and that will cover Royal Mail Special Delivery so you definitely get the ticket in time.

If you want it, post a reply saying so, and I'll pick one at random from the first page at about 7pm tonight, and then PM you to let you know and arrange payment and get your address. If you're not happy about sending me money then we can talk about doing it through an eBay listing or something where you're completely protected, although I think PayPal should cover that anyway.

[mel]

Thanks Stimpee :) i'm doing that.

Does anyone know about support act/what time underworld are taking the stage?

I'm only having to sell as i wont be able to make it until 9.30, i contacted the venue and they said there is no support act and underworld are going on at 7.30.

I found this odd, especially as it says underworld + support on the ticket.

Anyone know?
