regarding Astoria - TM UK were seemingly oblivious to the fact that fans travel and go to several concerts.
Ten days before the Astoria gig, they still hadnt sent the letters out, even though many of the people who bought tickets EIGHT months earlier were travelling from all over the world. I phoned them and asked them did they not realise that as the Stones were playing 4 shows in london that same week, starting with a show 4 days before Astoria (which was later postponed), the vast majority of fans who were flying in for the Astoria gig from all points of the globe might JUST be in London several days in advance for Twickenham and therefore the late issue of the letters for the Astoria gig would probably arrive AFTER they left for London.
It hadnt occurred to them. Incredible.
