Arcade Fire announce London dates

whats the better gig?

And can only go to the shows on the 29th, 30th and 2nd. But really only on the 2nd.

Someone get me a ticket?

hopefully i can get the first 2 nights of the tour, that and 3 nights of bloc party afterwards will be ace

how I'm going to get tickets for this, since I'm going to be working tomorrow and the friend I'm going with isn't sure if he can book tickets either. And it's probably pretty rude to ask someone who's not going to book tickets for you :(

I mean Bayswater station

That's my point exactly.

Some people will want to see them (like me) but can't because ALL of the gigs are in fucking London.

It's really annoying.

god im dense sometimes :(

rather than get stressed.

But such a slim chance of getting them and also although a 'VERY intimate gig' as said by their website would be awesome, and expreiencing the new album before it comes out in an intimate location, esp in a church as the album has been made in a modified church, would be good maybe id want to hear the album first? Ah well, they say their announcing gigs in the next few weeks bound to be big ones in London and maybe Brighton so prob best to go for that.

none on Friday or Saturday which makes it even more difficult for someone outside of london to attend

Can't get anymore - all gone.

My secret, don't use IE as a browser, I got straight through using firefox

EXCELLENT

They sold me mine for Friday at 8.57am!!

Absurd.

There's no way they are popular enough to sell out five london dates in 4 minutes.

They were only announced yesterday for Gods sake.

But surely very small venues?

Anyone any idea? 500 each?

as clicking on the confirm order button on both ticketmaster and stargreen (using different cards) and BOTH fucking popped up with a message saying "your order cannot be processed" or whatever. I want to break something. And then cry.

8:59am by the way. GGRRRRRRR!!!!

Whilst i'm happy for you that you got a ticket, no wonder they sold out so quickly if they started selling them before the published start time.

I'm pretty gutted about missing out. I did see them in 2005 though and it was one of the best shows i've been to in recent years so you guys with tickets are in for a treat.

Dinner Dance Capacity is 400
Reception is 630

Only 300 for Examinations?!?!

Looks stunning though!

haha yeah, i had exams in Porchester Hall last summer.. now we get to see AF there!!! go team!!!

it's all a bit random venue wise... they could have JUST used Bush Hall or something!

I used Firefox and got 2 for the Friday one at 9.01. Ridiculous how fast they went though.

I am so happy, I got two for the tuesday!! Que much punching of the air. I love Firefox and broadband. Just looked on ebay and they are going for £160 per pair now. Ridiculous. For yous complaining they are in London, you obviously don't deserve to get the tickets. I'm travelling from Nottingham to see them.

2 on my girlfriend's card and one on mine. not entirely sure how to be honest - some manner of fluke. can't wait though. the king's college gig is possibly the best gig i've ever been too.

on a different note though, something needs to be done about the c**ts on ebay selling theirs for massive profit.

I managed to get 2 for Monday (at about 9.20 - Ticketmaster kept telling me they were unavailable but I tried again and lo and behold they appeared - yay!) but I had told 3 friends I would try and sort us all out. Now I'm hugely excited about going - but gutted that I now have to somehow decide who gets to come with me....

Is that the St John's gig with seating? Glad I went for the other venue then - mostly on impulse of going somewhere different. Would've hated being presented with that conundrum.

its a like a church and stuff, it has pews that don't move.

Should play in churches. Bands of a certain ilk of course like Dresden Dolls, Explosions In The Sky or 65daysofstatic and the like. In my mind the gigs are amazing and people write reviews with phrases such as 'kneeling at the altar of <insert band here>' and the dates aren't just in London and the tickets are sold based on a system of secretly watching people listen to the band and seeing who looks like they enjoy them the most.

missed out.
