How are people getting on with receiving tickets booked through SeeTickets? I had an email from them a week or so ago saying that there was a delay in receiving the tickets from the promoter and that they would be sent out as soon as they had them in hand, but still no sign. Assuming there must be plenty of people in this situation...? If not, then maybe I need to start asking questions soon! :S

---

I wouldn't worry about it Leo.  I always book through See Tickets and that's a fairly standard email, and they almost always send out tickts v near to the date itself. I haven't been let down by them yet.

mine arrived too

Saw at Brixton Academy on the farewell (We Love Life) tour. Amazing.

Have to say that Wireless had me in tears all the way through, I was so happy.

Looking forward to this show, going on my own so that I can concentrate on them.

Bumped, just in case anyone might swap. Thanks.

Hello everyone
I'm new on here too. We have tickets for Thursday standing but due to an unavoidable clash I can't do that night now. Would anybody fancy swapping for Wednesday night tickets? Four for preference but three would be amazing.
Thanks to any kind souls out there. I had to miss Wireless at the last minute as well so will be gutted if I can't go to this one too!

ETA: They are physical tickets, so would be able to swap face to face (if that's reassuring as I have no standing here)

I have 2 tickets for the 1st September, that I want to change for the 31st.
PM me if you're interested.

Thanks.

bit stupid, the headline of this article (http://www.festivalrepublic.com/news/general/pulp_announce_support_band_for_their_london_o2_academy_brixton_show) is Pulp announce support band for their London O2 Academy Brixton show but then doesn't go on to say who it is

haha maybe it's me who is a bit stupid then  - don't know how I missed that, it's even in bold!

Yes. He was also at Auto - I seem to remember he was pretty good, tho' he had a habit of saying "I'm from Chiswick. SO?!"

Looks like I'm not psychic then, I had an odd dream Shampoo reformed to be support & covered Blur's PopScene.

Has anyone recieved tickets before this week? One of ours is from ebay and I'm a bit worried about it's legitemacy now since I've had it in hand for about 4 weeks

Cheers James - went back and looked at the seller. It all seems ok (although they did list the show under 'comedy'!) The tickets do seem to be selling for a bit more now than I paid. One of my mates decided he coulded go and rather than doing the right thing and selling at face value he's stuck it on ebay for twice the price he paid. I'm hoping he's left lumbered with it!

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows what time gigs normally finish at Brixton - I'm guessing about 11 since doors open at 7? Will I be alright getting the tube and stuff as a young lady on my own at this time of night

 

Little bit worried because I don't know my way around and I know Brixton has a bit of a reputation...

I went to Morrissey and he finished at 10.30

Getting to the tube will be fine, majority of the crowd is going in the same direction.

You'll be fine. I go to loads of gigs on my own - have even flown out to Dublin alone for one once. Most times you end up talking to someone there. I prefer going on my own to the hassle of dragging a friend along who is not as into the band as you, and then you have to worry about them being ok, and if they don't mind you leaving them near the back so you can go and get crushed in the excitement at the front.

The tube station at Brixton is just a short walk away from the venue, and it's easy to find. It'll be busy with lots of people heading back to the tube on the way out, so v unlikely you'll get lost or run into any trouble.

Actually, I'm really not young now I think about it. 34 next month. That's practically middle-aged, isn't it?

The tube isn't so scary at that time really, but if you are worried you could do worse than meeting up with the crew beforehand (http://baritalia.activeboard.com/t43819107/31st-august-brixton-meetup/)... I'm sure someone will be heading in your general direction afterwards and would be happy to travel with you. 

---

 Cheers. I would definitely be up for meeting up with others...I'm going on the second date though, doesn't seem to be much planned meet up wise so far?  I'm still trying to sort out where I'm staying but I think it will be at some halls of residence place in Pimlico.

I'm coming down from the Midlands. I wouldn't normally consider going to a gig so far afield on my own but it's my first (and possibly last) chance to see Pulp so I can't miss it!

---

 First off, Hi folks - new to posting on the forums here, but was looking to see if there were any planned meetups for the second night. I don't often go in for that sort of thing, but for Pulp I may make an exception; and it would at least be nice to know if something was happening or not??

My sister and I are also coming down from the Midlands (Rugby specifically) on the second date, but rather than staying over we'll likely be getting a train back after the gig - if not all the way then at least some of the way home. If anyone wants folks to travel/walk/etc with we'll be happy to accompany!
The only possible issue going there, is that we plan to go pretty early on if we can - we ended up buying etickets off someone else (which I've never done before) so there's some slight paranoia about them working properly - so given that, we're planning to try and be there as early as possible to make sure that if they don't work we can find *shudder* a tout.

I've only been to Brixton once myself, but it was absolutely fine coming out and walking around. No problems at all, and especially with the crowd milling around it's a generally good atmosphere.
The gig I went to back then finished at just after 10.30 - so I'm assuming that's the standard shutting down time for the venue. It's kind of good for me, 'cause it means I'm more likely to make a train that gets me closer to home in time without missing any of the set - but if they end up playing longer, there's no way I'm leaving early! I'll sleep in the station if I have to!

#sitting here in the states hating himself#

I have one ticket for sale for Thursday 1st - physical ticket, can hand over in Central London for cash. I'd like what I paid for it (face value and booking fee), please PM me if interested.

Hi team. Anyone been to gigs at the O2 Brixton and know what they're like about photography? I've only been to Islington and I know most of the staff so it's not an issue... the venue page on TicketWeb says "General Policies: No video or recording devices allowed No food or drink to be taken into the venue". Well, my compact camera does have a video mode, technically, but then so does my phone if we're being pedantic about it... Don't want to flash my way through the set or anything antisocial but would be nice to get some souvenirs of the night(s) out.

 Fine with cameras and phones, just don't take an umbrella.  They took my wife's off her when she went in for Morrissey concert.

Never been to Brixton 02, anyone know if they have a cloakroom? couldn't find anything on the website?

So it does seem these are the last pulp gigs then? Of course lets not count electric picnic as it's a festival. It is a bit annoying though, I was disappointed Blur did t in the park after Hyde Park. But oh well.

I hope to hear...
Happy Endings (of course)
His n Hers
Your Sisters Clothes
Countdown
Trees
Mis Shapes
Inside Susan
The Fear
Party Hard
Help The Aged

We already know all of different class will be covered over the 2 nights (maybe not monday morning, we'll see)

what im hoping to hear (but probably won't) include the boss, death II, countdown, razzmatazz, lyndhurst grove, mile end, OU, Anorexic beauty, glory days and of course wickerman. I am probably being ridiculously hopeful and unrealistic but to be honest if they so much as come on stage I'm happy :)

Beginning to regret just going to the first night now as I fear one night will be the festival set and the other like Le Bikini 2nd set.

I'd settle for the Glastonbury set with My Legendary Girlfriend 

will suck if one night gets the bogstandard set and the other gets the cool rarities. we all know the real fans got tickets for the 31st and should get the good set ;)

you already saw Like a friend at Glastonbury you GREEDY BOY

and yeah that's a point, out of all the songs on that encore list picture uploaded long ago, sheffield:sex city is the only one yet to be played, COULD IT BE?!?!? (though come on now, DLS is a much better use of that time)

i can imagine it now..

"for now, this is indeed pulp's last summer, but this song isn't about pulp's last summer... it's about david's..." *BAO BANAO BAO ba BAO*

 I expect this but pessimistically expect tonight will be the festival set.  I know this was the one many of us, self included, got on the pre-sale, but whenever a band does multiple nights I always seem to miss the best night.  Having seen/heard the festival set at Hyde Park I am selfishly hoping for something a bit different.  Razzmatazz as a bare minimum.

My missus is there now - I couldn't go due to work commitments... hoping they won't do all the rarities tonight!

Hi Jazza, I had three from my wish list too - Countdown, Razzmatazz and O.U. - couldn't believe it! Are you able to upload a photo of the setlist? I'd love to print off a copy. Lucky you getting that! What a great night and another to come tomorrow!!!

That was fun wasn't it! Though when he did the introductory speech to Bad Cover Version I really, really, really wanted to let myself believe he was talking about Seconds. Not to be... saw whoever got the Setlist - the main thing I saw on it that got missed out (probably to make room for Underwear) was Sheffield Sex City, so maybe tomorrow!

Oh man!  That is such a pity.  Whoever put that card on stage should hang their head in shame.

Great setlist. Two firsts for me Countdown and O.U and it was great to hear Have You Seen Her Lately and Razzmatazz. My only change would have been to drop Wickerman and include Pink Glove and Joyriders. I love it how Jarvis approaches all the songs with so much enthusiasm these days. 1998 - 2002 it sometimes seemed like he was going through the motions, especially with Common People. Tonight was definitely up there as one of the best gigs I've been too.

The crowd were a lot better than at Hyde Park - much more animated, although it might have been because I was nearer the front. I was standing near a really tall girl. A couple of times during Underwear Jarvis pointed at me but I am guessing it was probably the tall girl : (

Incidentally Jazza, did they drop anything from the setlist to make way for Underwear?

 I wondered that too!

Incredible... Who'd ever really expected Wickerman? And Countdown so very early on - I nearly split open. I wonder what was dropped for Underwear.

When he said that it wasn't "only" going to be B-sides and rarities, the possibility of a trawl through the catalogue seemed in the offing and that was very exciting... even paying lip-service to Silence. Have You Seen Her Lately, wow.

However, in response to speculation about their future post-2011, the fact that Countdown was as archival as they got bodes well... any more of the older stuff would have felt like a goodbye. This didn't.

Sure, there are a couple more gigs, but I can't see tomorrow being terribly different to tonight, and I imagine Ireland will be more akin to the Wireless set. I don't think we've seen the last of them.

If I was downstairs I think it would be up there withthe top 5 of all my gigs. Unfortunately most people upstairs seemed more occupied with their iphones

 ...yeah, it was a little low-key up there. Everyone sat down during Countdown, OU and Wickerman. I was at the Academy recently for Suede's Dog Man Star play-through, and that was much, much more lively in the circle. 

Ugh!! Work blocks most ticketing websites, so I'm always too late to be standing! Still, lucky to be there seating or otherwise.

screw those who got them to play underwear instead of sheffield sex city! bunch of us were calling for it and to hear it was on the setlist and skipped?!?!

Jazza wrote:

sorry Pip - they did indeed play rarities including the majority of my 'wishlist' honestly holding back the tears of joy when they started playing wickerman! (despite the people around mes somewhat bewildered faces) and countdown, OU and razzmatazz! still in shock and even managed to get a setlist. Such an amazing night and GREAT setlist. With Party hard and Sheffield sex city on the encore section with misshapes and razzmatazz I have high hopes for tomorrow too!

---

Well that was enjoyable wasn't it 

I really expected them to play almost the same setlist as Hyde Park but as Jazza and others have mentioned they decided to throw in some rarities, wow I wasn't expecting that. I was on the barrier to the right of the stage, the ringing in my ears is telling me I was quite close to the speakers. Jarivs really was on top form and so were the rest of them for that matter, the setlist was a really nice mix and i think the crowd were pretty decent as well. Feeling a little hyper atm 

The only problem now is because I'm currently poor and i expected them to play the same setlist as Hyde Park on both nights I only bought a ticket for the Wednesday. But after that set I just have a feeling they might throw in some other surprises on the 2nd night so now being poor is not important I NEED a ticket!
I've replied to every reasonable add on Gumtree so hopefully someone will relpy to me, if anyone has a spare standing or 2 on here let me know please.
I hope emails are fine on here davejnoel at gmail.com

I think on reflection the above is right that Live Bed Show is what was actually skipped; SSS was part of a list of what looked like a 4-song encore, maybe just ran out of time with all the banter.

 Oh God, can I afford it? Can I afford not to? It might be the last ever Pulp gig in the UK!

Sorry but did anyone who was meant to be sitting manage to get into standing area? security didn't seem very tight since the bar opens up onto the stalls

I think it was more or less two hours on stage as they started at about 9pm and came off just after 11pm.    They just need to get on stage earlier

Would love to go tonight, but given last night was more or less a perfect set (maybe another Hardcore song would have been good) I'm not regretting it too much.  I'm sure they will be back playing another London venue before too long.

They played...

DYRTFT?
Countdown
Lip Gloss
OU
Have You Seen Her Lately?
Something Changed
Disco 2000
Sorted
Wickerman
Bad Cover Version
Babies
Underwear
This is Hardcore
Sunrise
Bar Italia
Common People

Encore

Razzmatazz
Mis-shapes

Does anyone know if Jarvis works out these days? I know he's slim but performing for two hours at that intensity at the age of 47 is pretty remarkable. And it was probably more intense than the solo shows I have seen. Someone on this forum mentioned a few years back that he had to give up smoking because of a health condition - do you think he took up the gym at the same time? I can imagine that he keeps that quiet if he does. Doesn't really go with the image I suppose!

---

mmm, as I am the same age, 47 ain't that old.  Must confess it was a bit sweaty down the front, and Jarvis was as drenched as I was.  Not known for going down the gym myself, but I cycle and walk a fair amount, so have some sembelance of fitness, though sadly not quite as slim as I was even 6 years ago.   He probably just collapses in a heap after the gig and re-hydrates the next day.  That's what I'm doing.

Low point of gig last night was when some bloke in front of me took off his shirt.  Not very pleasant, and I had to sharply move a few feet to the left.

Jarvis has always been a slim guy. I guess that is the way he is build. I know some older men who aren't going to the gym either, but are also staying slim and always have been.

set list?

Yeah, setlist!

I suspect that has a lot to do with it.  Only other song that has got an airing at a festival is Party Hard unless you include Like A Friend from the same era. 

I guess that the set tonight is a core nine songs (DYRTFT?, Something Changed, Disco 2000, Sorted, Babies, This is Hardcore, Sunrise, Common People, Mis-shapes) plus nine others from Separations onwards. 

I really enjoyed last nights gig. Got there really early so I could be at the front unfortanly had to leave towards the end of Common People as had a 11.30 train to get back to Leeds.
I still can't believe they played Countdown was so shocked it came so early in the set as well.
I may have squeed like a little girl.

I did notice they seemed to have a few issues with the sound Jarvis seemed to keep asking them to turn it up. I guess the guys where having issues hearing it but sounded great our end.

I did notice Jarvis seemed to be getting a little mad at a few things but he was great with the crowd and was nice to see Richard as well.
