Company I work for, one of the women is married to Stings brother…
Can you tell her to tell Sting I'm sorry I didn't see him in Vegas, but I promised the Mrs we'd go to a cirque de soliel show. If he rocks up at the Vic I promise to go. (Genuinely peeved at missing out) |

As a right wing fascist Tory cunt, you’ll not be surprised if I ask for a small donation to assist the turning of wheels to facilitate your request 😉 |

This is exactly the point. There is a new circuit emerging. Bands are doing tours of town squares, castles, amusement parks. Summer series, summer sounds, summer sessions everywhere.
One of the companies I work for have emailed me asking me to commit to some shows next summer as they have 180 shows next summer. Between Cardiff castle, Halifax piece hall, Margate dreamland, some park in Bedford, Scarborough open air theatre, somewhere in Plymouth, Lytham, Lincoln, Derby and a bunch of others. All with decent bands. Last year I did Paul Heaton, Sting, Hollywood Vampires and Rag n Bone man for them in Scarborough.
The bands are there, the promoters are there looking for places. Sadly we chose to go another way that I dont think will neccesarily be a success. I hope Im proved wrong.
Some of those venues holding less than the county ground too. |

Slight aside. Is the club shop not open a few hours on non-matchday Saturday any more? Should have checked before choosing to pick up the Wimbledon tickets - 10-4 is no good on a weekday  |

I believe that any tickets which aren't collected will go up on the supporter coach & can be collected at their ground somewhere. I know I have done that in the past. |

From an article on the club website:- STFC STORE: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday: 10am - 4pm Wednesday, Sunday and Bank Holiday: Closed Saturday (Home Matchday): 11am - 3pm and full-time until 5:45pm Tuesday (Home Matchday): 10am - kickoff |

Yeah me too. I did it for Franchise. The tickets were ready for collection at 2pm. |

Likewise worked for me at Morecambe, I suppose the only fly in the ointment could be if the supporters coach gets stuck in traffic as it did on the way up to Carlisle a fair few years back, from recollection arriving just before half time! |

Yeah, that must be Batch's fear also. Getting through the London traffic isn't easy at the best of times, and even worse during the festive period. I wonder if the club took so long to get the tickets on sale to save on the extortionate mail costs now a first class stamp has gone up to £1.25. £1,250 better off - cha ching. |

TBF I'm amazed they even risk the post, I posted a birthday card to our niece the other week in a post box c.200 metres away from where she lives (still of an age where getting post is very exciting), 1st class stamp and all that jazz, took over a week to arrive! |

Two main fears were unreliable post, and the tickets not turning up on the supporters coach (I got "lucky" at the Brighton playoff game in deciding to drive to Swindon to get them). Didn't think of the coach being late! |
