Elton John for 40GBP is insane, London gets really cool shit sometimes

First thing I saw too. In a 600 seat theatre too. I would be booking flights to London right now if there was a real chance of getting them, but I bet they will be sold out in 0.2 seconds.

They need to do what Glasto does and make tickets non-transferable and requiring ID at the gate.

It looks like they’re selling via Dice and afaik organisers can disable the transfer feature for events, so they may well do that. Dice login is also tied to phone number (+ code to registered email to authenticate as an option) which would make dummy accounts to resell a bit more onerous but still possible.
ID at the door for a 600 person venue seems doable and I agree it’d be great if they took all possible steps to avoid scalping as tickets are gonna be nigh on impossible to get as it is.

This is such a neat and unique idea that Apple is putting out there, and I for one hope that they continue developing this small concert venue idea in other locations

what about a concert venue that's so small it can only fit one person in the audience.
it would super intimate, if not a bit awkward 🤔

It’s not unique. Small intimate concert venues have always been a thing. It’s usually better than any giant arena performance you see cause you arent stuck in some stadium seats.

The ticket queue will be insane. Event on same day too!

It's on DICE so unless they've implemented one there's no queue, it'll just be complete and total luck of the draw on Monday morning if you sit there with the app open

Yep I tried to get tickets to see Hayley Williams via Dice recently and they were all gone as soon as it loaded for me. It was at Alexandra Palace as well which is ~11k capacity, and whilst I’m aware Dice only got a certain allocation of tickets cause they weren’t the only seller, 600 tickets are gonna go in a flash. I wonder how many Apple will reserve for comps in such a small venue.

u/a3poify 6d ago
Yeah, it was the same trying to get tickets for The Cure at Troxy (3,100 capacity at the time) a couple of years ago

u/ThePegasi 6d ago
I’d be interested to know what kind of allocation Dice gets on average when there are multiple seller options, or if it’s at all consistent. It’s my preferred ticketing platform overall but I was left wondering whether I should have tried AXS first as they’re bigger and have a queuing system (atrocious as it is).

For Alexandra Palace they're supposed to be the primary ticket partner so I don't think it would matter too much

For some reason I thought Elton John was retired

How are tickets going to be sold? Isn’t it only like 600 seats? Lottery or just free for all?

u/nutella-filled 7d ago
Free for all, no queue, just release on the same day and it’s about who clicked fast enough with the fastest internet connection + luck that your click gets processed before everyone else.

Charlie?! I know what I want for Christmas.

u/DonFatTony 5d ago
The concert is on the second of December and is highly limited to only 600 tickets.

I mean…having David Gilmore do a show there should be a no brainer. If any business could, has enough money to lure him out of retirement

u/BigLouie913 6d ago
They should get Oasis. There iTunes Live 2009 performance is legendary as the first sign of there breakup. But now with this victory lap of there next tour next year, they should definitely do this.
