Unlike the 2005 Drury Lane gig, this one's a total non starter for me unfortunately.

Midweek means two days off work, and I'll just be back from holiday. No chance.

Hope whoever goes gets a repeat of the cameo appearance that we got last time though.

Oh, and apparently this place only seats about 400 people (unlike Drury Lane which holds five times as many) - so it really WILL be a club show.

lol THANK YOU Gazza. Finally someone comes out and says it. 400 people is a "real" club show. These shows with a couple thousand people and such. They are not really club shows to me but are billed as such at times.

To me a club show is you know ....2-3-4 hundred people. But whoever is promoting it has to push it as they way it's most marketable.

Just to make things even more appetizing for the regular concert goer, rows 3-6 will be reserved for the appropriately named Fan Asylum, costing a mere $495 - the package gets you the services of a 'host', a laughably entitled 'complimentary bar' (how can anything be 'complimentary' in a package costing $495??), the much coveted laminate and a CD.

All this to see Ronnie play a few songs off his new album (and as there are two shows three hours apart, you can guarantee it won't be a lengthy set) in the hope that a special guest or two might show up.

I know Ronnie's off the booze, but if this is his idea of a show for the fans, he must be on crack.

Even worse, mate. Its 400. The reference to 800 tickets being available refers to the combined amount for BOTH gigs.

Interesting that they havent said yet how much the 'regular' tickets will cost the public. I cant imagine that too many will be available, after Ronnie's celebrity hangers on and the Fan Asylum mob get their share.

The show I saw at Drury Lane in 2005 lasted no more than about 70 minutes. I really wouldnt expect anything any longer than that as its being used to showcase his new album, plus he's playing two shows three hours apart.

Nope. And thats probably the whole idea. The teasing billing of 'plus very special guests' is geared towards the blind faith mob and more-money-than-sense Fan Asylum punter.

I would expect Bernard Fowler to be in his band, though. Probably Kenney Jones as he's recently done some shows with him.

Totally serious, unfortunately!

$495 is £319 at today's exchange rate.

I understand that the price range for 'public' tickets will be similar to what the Stones charged for the 02 in 2007 (which was £150 and £70, if I recall right). Cant confirm that yet, though.

£80 to £125, I'm hearing. Still unconfirmed though, so I dont know if its correct.

Beats me how a £125 ticket can be THAT much better than a £80 ticket in a 400-seat venue that has a balcony, but there ya go.

Make sure your poker is red-hot.
