Tell Me :
Talk
The Specials are doing an Xmas tour this year - culminating in Leamington Spa. It won't be as extensive as last year's jaunt. Won't be announced until September though.
It is revolting, you're right. To make it worse, tickets appeared on Ebay within minutes of going on sale. Meanwhile most fans were still trying to onto the sites. Something seriously fishy there.
thanks for the heads-up -bring on Xmas!
The Who have no plans to tour this year, as far as I know. Pete's said as much in a recent interview.
They're doing this gig and the Superbowl, then Daltrey's doing more solo gigs, supporting Eric Clapton in April/May. The new album - Floss - will be out later this year.
Things may change, of course.

Absolutely gutted. It was impossible to get through on any of the appointed ticket agencies for either The Specials or The Who tickets and they're already fetching big money on those licensed ticket tout sites such as Double 8 or Getmein. How those bastards get tickets I don't know. It's such a bloody con.
You can still get row X in the nosebleeds for about £175. You'll need to bring your own telescope for that. Disgusting.
If anyone has a spare for either of those shows the money is ready and waiting.

i gave up - i was only prepared to pay up to £40-£50 for a ticket, but that category was impossible to access.
I know it's a charity doo (and an excellent charity at that)
- but the pricing takes the piss.

Are you going to try on the night Ade? I might. In the past I've been lucky. Do you know if The Specials are doing another UK tour?

not heard anything regarding The Specials, mate, hope so though.
As for walking down there on the night - i may well do, but i usually have no luck whenever i've done that.

Speaking personally, and having seen the Who twice already at the RAH, I think it is an absolutely crap venue, and in no way suitable for rock gigs.
Anyway, they'll probably tour with Quadraphenia in late spring/early summer when we'll have genuine Who fans in the audience as opposed to the fly-by-nights who get handed these tickets to them on a plate.

you're correct, in regard to the RAH as rock venue - it's so sterile and cold.
The TCT concerts are for such a magnificent cause
(and why Daltrey hasn't been knighted for his work with TCT is beyond me), but the concerts do attract and favour the corporate, prawn sandwhich eating, brigade.
