    Fifteen gigs at the same venue is hardly a tour!

    I went to one of the palladium gigs on her (only) tour. Don't think there's much chance of getting a ticket for these dates. Fans from all over the world will be trying to get tickets.

    Should buy a ticket for Mother-in-law, see how she enjoys 2 hours of screeching.

    Husband very excited about this, she will definitely sell out the 15 nights - many people waited a long time for her to come back

    I remember last year trying to buy tickets online for Kraftwerk's gigs in London and not even being able to load the website. All their gigs sold out in a few minutes. This will be the same. Won't stop me trying again though.

    Sold out in 15 mins this morning. I tried without success.

    I had a look, but didn't think it was worth those prices.

    Same here. I mean, I like her, but not that much. Now, if it was Todd Rundgren...

    I'll rub it in

    I got two tickets as a birthday present from the wife (it will still cost me £211 as it was on my credit card!)

    Still worth it though as this will be a once in a lifetime gig.

    Indigo Joe- Yeah I couldn't get Kraftwerk tickets either hope you had better luck this time.

    I saw the 1979 tour and it was fairly good but nothing special. £135 for the best ticket seems a bit steep to me. I also hate going to Hammersmith.

    I just don't think she's worth £211....especially considering she hasn't played for so long. Can see postponements towards the end of the run....22 shows is a hell of a lot.....unless she dives out for a fag halfway through and only plays for half an hour!

    I'm going twice! First night and again on my birthday (thanks Kimbo).
    I go to a lot of gigs and, although I still enjoy live music, it is a long time since I've felt this level excitement and anticipation about a show.
    Roll on August!!

    So, I got no joy from Ticketmaster. Who did the lucky guys use ?

    She went to my college. Her song Wuthering Heights was apparently influenced by the place because it was spooky.

    It was an old convent/nunnery converted.

    The caretaker used to walk the grounds at night and our canteen used to be a chappel. Apparently at night the caretaker would hear singing coming from the canteen!!

    Ooooo eeeeeee ooooo!!

    For £135 I would expect to see her bush and the rest.
