      sonic youth website says £25, and gives a link to seetickets

        well it's less than the roundhouse shows were I believe, those were around £30 I think. I'm not getting my hopes up for getting a ticket though as the touts will probably be all over this 2moz morning :(

I'm going to Bangface this weekend

so the likelyhood of me being in any state to go to this on Monday night is slim... but... can I afford not to go?

that'd be amazing. I'm seeing Casiotone that night but they're playing at ATP too, so if I got tickets for this I'd happily miss them.

  on the 16th May they're at the No Fun festival in New York, so it's pretty unlikely I'd think.

If people are going to this

Age Restrictions

Does anyone know how strict the scala is about enforcing age restrictions? Do they really check for ID?

Dominiccc | 20 Apr '09, 14:08 | X | ^ This | Reply

  is the age restriction

  - They did try it on with my friend's friend
    
    whom came with us to Wire. He was like 16 and it was an 18s only gig. Still let us in though.
    
    lovelessrapture @thejudge | 20 Apr '09, 14:54 | X | ^ This | Reply
    - Oh right
      
      So did they still let him in despite knowing that he was underage?
      
      Dominiccc @lovelessrapture | 20 Apr '09, 19:26 | X | ^ This | Reply
      - Yea
        
        he didn't realise it was over 18s, neither did I really, so when he was asked how old he was he daftly replied 16. But after asking nicely they let us in.

    lovelessrapture @lovelessrapture | 21 Apr '09, 10:06 | X | ^ This | Reply
i think

the initial sale was almost a sort of presale thing as it said on the Sonic youth message boards that the 9:30 tickets were pre sale and then they would go on general sale at 10:00. Which is why they probably said sold out for a bit but are on sale again.
