With no US dates announced and the last "US Tour" consisting of two shows in LA, the rest of the US is looking towards Europe. I'm hoping this can be a place for us to coordinate arrangements and save some money on accomodations. Those of you already in Europe, your suggestions are welcomed!

couldn't be more excited about seeing them live again!! I have got tickets to see them in Amsterdam. I decided against the London date as I dont rate The Roundhouse as a good venue. I saw blondie there and couldnt see anything with those huge Beams in the way!

Hi,

Got an email from Ents24 telling me that tickets for the UK shows are available on presale from this morning. Tried to buy for the London gig but it's asking me for a "pass code", which I don't have. Has anyone else seen this? Sorry if this is a stupid question...

OK, so it's not just me "dicking around", then. Still bloody irritating!

The passcode was available with pre-order for the album...

I got on the site at 9.04 (with my code) - went to get my ticket. None available. So I refreshed the page and three attempts later I was in. However, as I didn't have an account with them I was prevented from getting one, so I tried creating an account and it wouldn't log me in. I have just come back for lunch and to try again and guess what...no tickets left. Brilliant, thanks so much!

I hope that doesn't mean that the whole gig is sold out...

this is just a pre-sale so dont panic! tickets are on general sale from friday

What's the point of having a pre-sale code if the site won't let me get a ticket. That's the whole point!!

This relates to Roundhouse tickets. Not sure how I did it, but got a code by following the email link WITHOUT a purchase. Got in the ticket queue at 9am and bought tickets – after a bit of a panic over creating an account when I got 'no tickets available' message at one point – around 9.20am. I was looking for seats preferably, but only if in the front row, but was only offered standing. The choice was 'best available' and 'standing' and 'best available' turned out to be standing! I'll be really annoyed if the upstairs seating is released later as I was hoping for a bird's eye view as my friend and I are not very tall and we've braved the moshpit many times in the past and, while thoroughly enjoying it, have occasionally had a less than perfect view. Anyway, those who missed out today will not be disadvantaged if the only choice is standing as it will be first in, best spot.

Same experience as Zebedee - Best Available became Standing. I wouldn’t be surprised if only Standing was released for the Presale.

not just me that has not had a great experience at Roundhouse. I actually really wanted to go to Amsterdam anyway so when I saw they were playing amsterdam I jumped at the chance to see them !

Not exactly what I created this post about but I'm told that if you call the Roundhouse ticket office, they have seated tickets available.

I see they did release seats today, annoyingly. What's the point of a presale if you don't have a chance of choosing between sitting or standing? Anyway, seems to be selling well. If I had a seat I'd probably be looking down wishing I was in the midst of the action and I've met quite a few lovely fellow fans while standing around in the past. How lucky are we that Ron and Russell are still so creative and prepared to go on the road! Thanks R&R!
