don't miss it. The Sisters days as a touring act, like all our days as mortals, are finite. Unless the band constantly replace each other so Eldritch gets booted out and replaced by some 20 year old from Scumthorpe in 2021.

by the way does anyone know why the astoria gig has been mentioned so much less than the other UK dates? On so many sites I've been on the astoria gig has just been missed out!

New HLander / LONG time fan, here. I'm going to the Astoria and looking forward to it big style. Hope to meet up with some HLanders. Should we wear black carnations or summink?

Ok I'm doing this one. It'd be rude not to, as I've been to every Sisters gig in London since 1990! :)

Currently a bit peed off by...

This appears to have sold out so may I be the first to put in a request for any spares that arise from friends/relatives/bloke down the pub changing their mind at not attending.

Needless to say I would be eternally in your debt :notworthy:

I'm moments away from booking airfare for a UK barnstorming tour of most if not all of the final shows...so I may be asking about a spare soon.

What are the chances a poor sap can pick up a ticket outside the venue from a friendly scalper? What's the estimated damage?

A rich sap shouldn't have too much problem. I got a ticket from a tout / scalper ( :evil: ) at the Astoria a few years ago for £40 early evening. A poor sap that turns up late could well be disappointed.

Jesus, for the current price (about£120.00) you could go to Paris on the Eurostar and see the gig there and have some change towards a cheap hotel.

More money than sense some people.

I know, I know. There's another auction here clicky that has already hit £92.00 with three days to go. :roll:

It's the initial panic buyers who inflate the prices. Then Mr & Mrs Normal want to make a fast buck - based on what they've seen so far on ebay - decide they don't really want to go to the gig and then we get a glut of ticket offers. :)

I would expect it to stabilise at £50-70 for a pair (which is what you'd pay a tout/scalper) so resist the urge and have balls of steel guys and gals.

All things come to he/she who waits. :von:

Well, I shall be heading over for the tour...still need me a ticket. There's a single ticket up on eBay for $75 with six days to go, they gotta be kidding. Another kind soul has a [bleeping] nine day auction going, God knows where.

I'm gonna wait a bit and see how things go...but if they start flying around like this...

$75? (about £40) I'd suggest you go for that - face value £20 + some us paid £5 booking fee and delivery :evil:
