If its in May, an announcement is surely imminent?

Reason being is Ticketmaster, SeeTickets, Ents24 and other ticketing companies will be sent an email with the structure for the events etc... then they will get back to the organisers (SMJ/livenation etc) with their own ticket pricing plan, so usually these 3 websites will get the main contract for selling Tickets online/phone.

As the Young Knives song states 'Here Come The Rumour Mill...'

If James and Sean kinda confirmed it, then lets wait and see.

Then Again Al Pal is such a nce venue...

20,000?!?! Wikipedia says 1,000 seated. The Specials are playing there - I think they'd probably pull a bigger crowd but I think they'd struggle to get 20k outside of the Pyramid Stage.

No. Nice building; crap venue. Even more of an arse to get to than Wembley.

Fair enough. Either way, it goes back to the 'three london gigs???' argument.

They do have an ice rink by the look of it though - MSP on ice?

Good point, but you just go to the closest Tube Station and jump on the Ally Pally Bus, which is free, 5 mins to venue??

Are there 2 Ally Pallys?! If we're on about Alexandra Palace in Wood Green, Morrissey sold it out a couple of years ago so I can pretty much confirm that it's no where near 20,000 capacity. Or perhaps they shut half the hall off for gigs and open it all up for bike shows and the like?

I wonder if Sean meant Indigo2 and not the main arena.
He said the o2,so i said the arena and he said yes,but indigo2 would make more sence.
I didn't know about a May tour.I only said he would be able to have a rest after blackwood and he said they were busy until July.Then he said about the tour in May,but i didn't ask about venues.

UEF · #25 24-01-2011, 13:22

They managed to play the O2 proper arena reasonably well for the NME awards

Abstract Unknown Girl · #26 24-01-2011, 13:25

Apparently quite a few people left after the Kaiser Chiefs at the NME Big Gig. I doubt they could fill it now by themselves.

Loz · #27 24-01-2011, 13:28

If they're going to play arenas again, they're going to have to bring some decent support who could boost ticket sales.

MrsCarbohydrate · #28 24-01-2011, 13:36

May's not a great month for me MSP, sort it out...

Midlands_Junk · #29 24-01-2011, 13:42

They can't sell out arenas at this stage, no chance. Apollo and Brixton size venues yes.

Agree, no arenas please, the last few tours have been excellent because of the smaller venues...!!
