Which is really all that matters at the end of the day.

I see some journalists have been emailing Brent Council to ask for numbers on this. This will never end. Just say it was "over" 75k and be done with it.

Jesus Christ. Go outside and touch some grass as my kids would say.

I did a head count at the venue and I can confirm there were loads of people in there. More than the twenty I could count on my hands, if that helps at all.

Brandon Thurstan has a good explainer:

I just emailed Travel Lodge.

Ask the local chippies how many teas were served that day.

Yeah he picked up on my FOI. He’s actually done his first bit of journalism but asking if my email was legit. But then things got weird 

So, 81,035 was AEW’s paid attendance. Brandon estimated 83k somehow, but accepts the total from Brent from the same person who gave one person 73k for turnstile numbers but gave me 85k for scanned tickets and their response was I dunno, ask Wembley. Basically Brent appear to be making up numbers on a whim

In Wembley or Birmingham?

THAT'S what you should email the council. "How many people came via Birmingham?"

Far more important than overall numbers.

I tried but they said the internet hasn’t reached them yet. Sent a telegram instead.

Imagine being the poor sod at Brent Council having to deal with this.

Yeah this was my thought too. That's the head of environment and whoever the hell he's getting to actually check this information. The London Borough of Brent presumably has other things to be getting on with. FOIs are a pain in the arse at the best of times when they're being used for stuff like this.

He's the shit version of Ann from Tunnocks.

Anyone else have a go at signing up for the 2024 presale? Looks like the 2023 signups carry over to next year, it just kept telling me I was already signed up.
