What's the capacity of the whole tour?
14 x 10,000+ venues? 150,000 tix, that sound right?
Adding 7 dates was quite an addition when the hardcore fans probably all managed to get tix first time around.

Yeah I'm not sure if the additional gigs has been a mistake. The edinburgh gig has sold well, it only has 3 seated sections at the back left.

They'll all sell out because Noel's employed a top international PR firm who will make sure they sell out. I do think the set works well in the theatre style venues and smaller venues, I'm still a bit dubious as to how well it will come over in an arena.

I think the idea of playing seated venues in the smaller tours was moronic.
Die hards without tons of money in the balcony and casual fans with money sitting in the front rows.
Without a doubt kills a bit of the mood to have the fans scattered around instead of congregating toward the front like they should be and singing next to eachother. I know I'd have enjoyed the gig a bit more if I'd been surround with people that also knew the material as well as I did. But that wasn't an option...which is why seated venues are moronic. Particularly in North America.

The crowds in LA were lame. I hVe killer seats and most of the ppl around me were on their fuckin cells, sitting down or just standing lifeless. I asked a few ppl around me how they got tix a few said they won/were given to them. if the crowd not being into the show as much as I am I can imagine how the artist must feel.

I asked a few ppl around me how they got tix a few said they won/were given to them. if the crowd not being into the show as much as I am I can imagine how the artist must feel. Which is why I think that general admission would have been better. Everyone just scoping out a new act (and if Noel hopes to grow his own audience those will be quite a few in NA) will naturally stand in the middle-back. And the big fans will be congregated in the front. I know when I go to a gig of a band I am not hugely into I like seeing the fans getting worked up in front. It enhances my experience. Standing near to someone who gets super excited when the recognise an intro of a song they love gives you a bit of a contact high. And being amongst strangers that share the same loves enhances it for me when I am one of the big fans at a gig. I think the enthusiasm of a gig radiates from that core. When you have seatings with pockets of about 2-3 people they do like many on this board did. Look around to see who else is madferrit and resent those with better seats than you who aren't...and that is detrimental to the experience. And it feels less like a shared experience between a group of strangers...which is one of the great thing about gigs....the communal experience. Even if there had only been a dozen hardcore fans surrounding me out of a 1000 at the front of a general admission gig in Toronto I think that the experience would have been a step above what it was even given the exact music being played. I can understand wanting to break a cycle of behavior in the UK with the seated gigs...but in North America where the fanbase is fan more tenuous and far less rowdy I think it was a massive error in judgement. |

The uk gigs were only seated in so much as the circle and balconies were seated. The floor was general admission standing I think. Same would apply for any band playing the same venues. As for the US gigs I've never seen a gig over there but I doubt it woul have been much different were they standing gigs. Plus standing venues in general require a higher capacity which might not have been possible in his first US tour. But regardless the current set works well in these sized venues whereas in arenas I sense it might lack the force and presence required from say a top class frontman, mentioning no names of course |

At the end of the day it's crimbo, everybody has seen Noel n beady eye at least once this year and probably bought stone roses tickets it's ALOT of money to fork out for your average Joe! I've aleady got MEN tickets and saw him at the Apollo and Beady eye twice as well as stone roses tickets so I think it's a bit too much to ask from us fans...
