  Should still be there if you haven't archived/deleted it (may well be there anyway even if you have).

      There will be more made available to the general public soon I think. There were with the Copenhagen tickets released last week anyway.

    - there was also an error on the crowedsurge website that said they would be onsale at 10am GMT
      
      this was changed when they spotted the error and they went on sale. it was a bit annoying, as those who got to the front of the queue first got that message and waited, by the time they realised the error had been changed, the tickets had all gone.

  Just give people the fucking crowdsurge link and not some flowery cunt of a link that doesn't work and that only people in the LME can get hold of.
  
  Also if they're going to use this system why even do a general sale? I'm sure enough people signed up to shift the tickes!

        This is irrelevant but a bit interesting
        
        when i lived in Wrexham someone from the Knife DJed at a pub my mate was DJing at. I don't know who but if they've done stuff like that then it's not much of a stretch to imagine them extending the tour. All I remember was her fretting for a week beforehand, like 'would it be cool to play a Knife song' and we were all, 'no'

General sale on friday 9am, in case anyone hasn't seen the Roundhouse page

http://www.roundhouse.org.uk/whats-on/productions/the-knife-shaking-the-habitual-show

So it looks like people are pretty excited about this then.

I'm a member of The Roundhouse and luckily am able to get

priority booking a day before general sale. I've just had an email from them that there's two dates at The Roundhouse. Both dates should be available for at least several hours before selling out I would have thought.

Tried all the various ticket options this morning

And just got through on the phone to the venue directly, having let it ring for about 25 minutes. They had plenty of tickets left for both dates seated and standing. Had no joy with the venue website (still got it running, 2170 in the queue), Stargreen or anything else since 9am.

Looks like they're sold out on the website

You try to put them in your basked then it goes to a 'The shopping cart is empty.' screen.

Luckily my friend had one spare, but the whole thing has been a bit poorly executed.

One thing I know about The Roundhouse website is that about

90% of the time they still have a few tickets left for sold out shows. They trickle release them. It's worth checking their site daily if you're desperate to go. After all, it's only a few mouse clicks. I'll give you guys the heads up if I see any available.

  If I don't hear from my mate by the end of the day then I will have a spare ticket at face value.
