AWWWWW the last time they played Brixton academy in 2001 I think it was, I was there two nights in a row, it was amazing.

---

I did the night they didn't play Common People.  Have taken a less than interested friend to see Pulp/Jarvis and all he did was moan on both occassions that they/he didn't play Common People.

Would be good if the set is a little more wide ranging.

I think this might be hard to get tickets for. I did manage to get Blur tickets for Wolverhampton and this will probably be a similar struggle. Can they don't come up north? Not Manchester cause our venues arn't great but Sheffield would be grand.

I knew there was a reason I skipped wireless (apart from not wanting to spend best part of £200 on an outdoor show full of morons)

---

 There is a pre-sale to those registered on pulp people, so should be ok to get tickets.  Then again I thought that with the wireless pre-sale....

Touts are not stupid, they will have been right on it as soon as the twitter update was on there...

The touts got burnt a bit on wireless on Saturday and Sunday.  Maybe if they got the 241 they did alright, but there were a lot of tickets selling on seatwave for less than £55.   Same has happened for a few festivals/gigs this year, but I suppose they just take the odd loss alongside the more profitable gigs. Black Eyed Peas tickets were going for £100+ on Friday, so that's where they made.

If they don't do a gig in Sheffield I'll be really surprised

 Yeah, I'm completely torn now: Brixton, or wait for another up North. Gah!

Yeah, the touts were probably selling them for about 15/20 when grace jones was on, this is what it was liek when blur did hyde park. These huge gigs are not money spinners cause the face is high enough anyway and there's normally a load floating about even if it sells out.

They'll probably have the tickets for the UK tour on sale 2nd September 9am.  Just as you are heading home on the train/coach...

Brixton is between Reading/Leeds & Electric Picnic, so they have a couple of nights spare  (assuming 1st September if 31st August sells out).  Any UK tour would probably be towards the end of the year (November/December).

---

 Or they could just hop back across after Electric Picnic and do the North onwards? I really hope not since PJ Harvey and Arcade Fire have already announced gigs during this 17 day holiday I'm taking...

whats all this in the article linked somewhere on this forum (perhaps under 'wireless meetup') about Pulp quitting while they're ahead and not doing concerts after the at brixton?

---

Yep in wireless meetup thread. I reckon the journalist took Jarvis' comment about seeing everyone in three years time literally.  I think they will see how the Brixton date sells and take a view on whether or not to tour any further.    Maybe everyone was fully committed to the beginning of September, but may not want to do much more. Candida and Russell may drop out. Who knows?  Wholly idle speculation on my part.

Personally, I think the Brixton show is a big gamble. Its following too soon after Wireless and all the other festivals.

 Brixton isn't a big gamble at all. Plenty of big fans who will happily see them again (the big setlist changes is worth bearing in mind too), plus I know lots of others who didnt want to pay £55 to see Pulp play a festival set who would happily pay £35 to see them play an Academy show. They can easily sell out two nights there minimum.

I'll have to try and arrange yet more time off work to go to see Pulp, but I don't want to miss one of these nights.

As it is in London again I may actually be able to use my newly acquired casino membership once more while I'm down there, although I'm not sure exactly what the staff there thought of a group of Pulp loving Misfits using the place as a bar till daft o'clock in the morning!

---

  If only I was coming I definitely wouldve been down for a drink at that casino for old times' sakes. Mind you, it will be some way from Brixton so you'd probably have to go out of your way a bit for it!

They are clearly loving the adulation received so far so I would be amazed if this was it. Still think they might surprise with a trans-atlantic jaunt (sans Russell).

The only fear is the novelty wears-off and they get a bit burnt-out schlepping across Europe and Australia over the next couple of months. Going from the radio interview Candida in particular still doesn't like the prospect of touring so if there is to be any longevity to this it may involve sticking to the UK.

---

 I'd be fine with more UK dates, as long as they're further in the future (Nov/Dec as some have predicted).

I'm not even expecting a North American tour, just hoping as it would save me several hundred dollars!

Like most you lot I would love to go, but I don't think I can afford it. Pending a sudden cash windfall, the only way they'll get me to dig deep into my pockets again so soon is if they make an announcement to the effect of: "this once-in-a-lifetime concert will span Pulp's full 30 year history".

 Uh you'll be going with me if I happen to get two tickets :P

Arghhhh do you think this really will be the last show?? I dunno whether to try and get tickets for both dates or not... Really don't want to go the one show and have them play loads of DC songs and then to find out that at the other gig they did His'n'Hers, Like a Friend, Countdown and Death Comes To Town all in a row or something!!!

---

I would literally cry if I missed a show where they played Death Comes to Town.. TEARS

I'm basing my mad scrambling for a flight over whether or not my friends can grab a spare ticket for me.. presale is before payday and regular sale is 04:00am my time

No, I don't think it will be the last show as Pulp, though it may be the last with the full line up. (Idle speculation reading between lines).  

I suspect there will be two different set lists on each night.  They will have the big hits like Common People, DYRTF?, Sorted, Disco 2000 and Babies at both, but will probably mix and match the others. I suspect that with the pre-sale, the first night may delve deeper into the back catalogue. (again, idle speculation, don't take my word for it).

For those of you on the O2 network there's a presale here on Wednesday morning.

I suspect that two dates are booked. But only once the first date sells out will the second go on sale.  I'd prefer Thursday to Wednesday as I will probably only go to one night.

Silly question, but how much are the tickets?  Not seen any prices for this (nor Morrissey for that matter) and they all go on sale Friday. (Wednesday for pre-sale)  

Deborah wrote:

I've seen the tickets advertised at £27.50

 That sounds OK, so I may do two nights after all.  Well assuming booking fees are about £2.50.

Id doubt this will be the last date. Since they got big, theyve only ever missed the Sheffield/S Yorks area once...I got the Brixton email as checking out of our hotel for Wireless. I'm giving it a pass, as cant justify the cost to get between Sheff and there, plus hotel costs.

ARGH!!! I am seriously considering selling a limb so I can attend both shows hehehehehehe

I am not going on holiday this year cause of all this, IOW, Wirless, Leeds, two nights at Brixton......... I might as well set up a direct debit into Pulp's bank account!!!!!!

I've joked about selling a kidney to pay for my flight already hahaha

Kidneys and limbs are not disposable. Egg cells, on the other hand, are well worth cashing in. Plus, you can have peace of mind knowing that somewhere out there is a child with your excellent music taste woven into his/her genes.

It's really weird, usually with See Tickets they reserve the tickets for you whilst you enter your details...
