LONDON GiG MOVED

[Ean]

The London show of The Wildhearts UK tour has been moved to Kentish Town Forum.

All tickets are valid for the new venue.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Crunchtastic. I had a feeling this might happen.

BUT I love the Forum, so hooray I guess.

[Damian]

The Forum already has an event listed for that night.

Look, if you're just going to point out flaws...

I'm just passing on what I've been told.

I am a bad bad man.

(...that's travelling a fair distance for the gig so intends to know what he's doing before he sets out!)

Oh my, given that it's sounding increasingly like Ticketweb will be sending our tickets "to the venue", I can foresee comedy...

I can foresee comedy...

Right, so I've spoken to the venue.

They're erecting a barrier down the centre of the room. The WH et al will play on the left side, the other gig on the right, and the bands will take turns playing a song each when they're onstage.

That'd still be better organised than Scarborough!

This is bullshit, I'm sick of this, as much as I wanna see the band I'm not prepared to put up with this, is there anyway I can cancel the tickets?

[beerofthedark]

Is this true?!

Nope, not unless the gig is cancelled or rescheduled, so you'll just have to force yourself to enjoy the band.

Which part?

Which part?

the kick in the testicles that is the change of venue.

What's wrong with the forum??

It's what I've been told by Kris, and the nice lady at the Apollo who I just spoke to. So I guess that the other gig is being moved elsewhere.

typical old man rant really - Not as good as it used to be.

We went there to see Paradise Lost the day before the Earth Vs gig and the staff were so ridiculously jobsworth it's untrue. First the wife's bag is searched and the following contraband is discovered - An apple. It is confiscated, presumably to protect the fruit stand concession in the venue. As i stand there goggling at this overzealousness, one of the gorillas comes up and asks me to vacate the entrance hall because i am blocking the exit. You sound like you know the Forum, so picture the entrance hall/ticket office area - it is empty apart from the door staff, me and my wife. Whose exit was I blocking? Inside the venue I got myself an overprice beer (this is at least typical of all venues now so i can't hold that against them) and ask for a bottle of water for my missus. teh barmaid starts to pour the bottle of water into a plastic cup and I say "No, don't worry about the cup, I'll just take the bottle." and she replies "that's against the rules." !!
FFS, Why?!?! The wife thought it may be because it could be used as a weapon, but in which case why don't they just keep the lid? a bottle is a lot easier to handle at a gig without spilling than a glass and is much to be preferred.

That was the first time i'd been to the forum since the last time the Wildhearts played there and I was muchly disappointed by the staff there now (or more precisely their new orders).
