You could end up with a situation where there are more people registered for "priority access" than actual available tickets..

The only way around this is to only allow resale through the ballrooms website at face value - basically announce that tickets resold anywhere else will not be accepted at the door. Not sure they can do that though. It’s absolutely spectacular that this is happening at all. I hope they film it (if only for YouTube). Anyone that gets tickets, please film every moment - no going for a wee or ought.

As an aside I skipped the limited volume because it looked like you could only get presale buying the standard from the website. Ah, well… :roll:

1500 capacity. £100 a ticket. Take of 100 for comps etc that's 1400 a night, over five nights = £700,000.
750 copies of volume at £95 each = £71,250

Not a bad wednesday morning for PSB

They only get a petcentage of that. Don’t think they need the money anyway.

Yes, very likely. The pre-sale will sell out. Maybe some tickets held back for the general sale.

Yes, you will get priority access, just double check that you registered.

The limited edition was advertised through their social media channels.
Great for people working who don’t have the chance to access SM each and every minute of the day.

You can check the PSB website / their online shop at work but you can‘t check your Insta account?

I never have any luck getting tickets when numbers are limited so I am hoping its a big success and they roll this out across other venues later in the year.

I have bought the book. What’s this about registering?
Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning. :|
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth.

Puts me in mind of this great Blackadder quote:

Melchett:       So, it's maximum security, is that clear?

Blackadder:     Quite so sir, only myself and the rest of the English speaking world is to know
