still plenty of tickets on StubHub, which is both surprising (given the initial demand) and unsurprising (given the prices, though some of the cheaper ones are still worth it for the unique event, I guess).

EDIT: actually - only 3 confirmed tickets uploaded for instant download, so maybe not that many available depending on your trust levels

When they open the doors they should invite the people at the back of the queue to go in first. 😆

Yes (if not a wind-up!) that is a bit worrying...
Really?
The co-creator of the tracks we know and love?
Right? Chris's hypothetical list from 2008 was quite good.

A big part of me kinda wishes there were not iPhone videos taken at this event, and we just read about it and imagine... and then a year later PSB release a fan magazine exclusive bootleg quality VHS tape.

I'm still not queuing and enjoy London before the stress later.

I keep getting ticket notifications via Twickets, but even if I react immediately the email notification comes in, the ticket(s) have always gone, every single time. There must be some kind of automated bot that manages to grab them from Twickets. Can't think of any other way - no human can be that fast each time.

Not wanting to add to the whole 'where's my tickets' hysteria, but has anyone who bought through Seetickets received theirs yet? I can see it on my account so not too worried but only seem to be seeing people mentioning AXS. Going on Friday.

I really don't mind what versions we get but please let it just be Neil and Chris performing. The whole Dreamworld thing is tired and nobody needs the band 'X-Factoring' these Obscure songs.
