Gcf1997 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 surely jim jon and glen must be thinking about upgrading the venue if shows sell out quicker than this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleslie92 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 As of September the shows are now more frequent, and with Manchester being added as well I feel like it will spread out. Adding more total tickets as opposed to moving to a bigger venue and losing the atmosphere seems like a good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Linus Posted July 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2015 One thing they could do is limit the amount of tickets you can buy. One guy bought SEVEN front row tickets. Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He's a regular and does have a large group that come with him. It is something they might have to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted July 27, 2015 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2015 Gadge & I only managed to get 6 between us this time (4 silver, 2 standard). Mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted July 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2015 I get that the venue's great and it helps the brand to have the superfast sellouts and all, but the point must come when they are leaving too much money on the table. IIRC correctly they had 300 on the waiting list recently, so if that happens every show and all those folk are prepared to buy standard seating, that's £43,000 a year they are passing up.

Refused Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 One thing they could do is limit the amount of tickets you can buy. One guy bought SEVEN front row tickets. Crazy.  I bought ten front row tickets for the last show. Didn't need quite so many this time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a trade off, maybe it's worth. They've already gone to every six weeks, but monthly Ballroom shows can't be too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted July 27, 2015 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2015 I was back in the Standard seating (6th row & back) for yesterday's show (for which I'll type-up some thoughts in the next day or so) and would easily say that once the Front, Gold and Silver have gone, unless you've specific reasons to want a seat, I'd recommend you'd actually be better off going for the standing-up tickets over standard seating. You'll have a better view, and quite possibly be closer to the ring too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted July 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) unless you've specific reasons to want a seat  Back on topic, it sounds like they have a relatively good deal financially with the venue that means they'd not necessarily be better off selling more tickets somewhere else.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 28, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2015 Surely with Koko five minutes down the road though it'd make sense to move there? They'd probably sell the place out quite comfortably and it would surely have the same atmosphere as the Electric Ballroom. Â I was at Sunday's show and thought it was fantastic obviously. Only my second BritWres show too and I have been massivly impressed with some of the talent the UK has to offer. Here's who I've been impressed by and not so impressed by so far: Â Good - Marty Scurll, Eddie Dennis, Will Ospreay, Jimmy Havoc, Bubblegum, Rampage Brown, Sumerian Death Squad, Flash Morgan Webster Not good - Nathan Cruz, Sebastian Shaw, Damon Moser, Damian Dunn, Mike Hitchman, Mark Haskins, Tom Irvman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
