Full complement for me. Expect me back here in late August trying to sell 3 tickets on when I remember I don't actually have any mates :)

 Sadly my O2 sim has died, so I couldn't register on blueroom.

They don't waste any time, do they? : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PULP-Tickets-LONDON-O2-Academy-Brixton-31-08-2011-/150628592439?pt=UK_Tickets_Tickets_LE&hash=item231229eb37#ht_500wt_1156

"These tickets are in hand" - Feckin' liar.

No, this would just have been a certain allocation for today.

That said, at 9.01, I wasn't able to get any!

And some other twat is now selling them for £80.00 a go. Hate them!

£80    Are ticket sales legal on eBay? I know football tickets aren't but I guess concerts are different.

I may buy four and flog a couple to get a feebie    Though with my record of flogging tickets more likely I'll be left with them.

WOOOOO!!! downstairs standing aswell - thanks very much guagno :D

No word from my friend yet - guessing that's not a good sign from what I'm reading here..

Try again! I just got a standing at 9.15, but couldn't get one just after 9.

still available ahah :D

 What is the O2 link?

More interested in Morrisey for that one (not for me, but my wife).

Tickets still appearing if you keep trying, just bought a couple although they only had upstairs on sale.

Well this has been lovely. Back to bed for an hour now, this has all been very stressful. Wake me if 1st goes on sale yeah?

I got 2 standing tickets at 9.01. I'm very lucky. You should try to book through ticketweb.co.uk on friday. It is usually easier than Seetickets.

 Sign in to get Priority Tickets - And my O2 sim has expired 

Just remembered my mum has an O2 simcard. Sadly when I checked there was no tickets available. Guess I'll have to check back on Friday then (sigh). Well at least I'm registered for O2 priority.

Where did news of this fabled "second date" come from, by the way? Was it a listing that appeared on one of the ticketing websites by mistake and then was taken down, or has there been some kind of announcement (official or unofficial)?

It was on Seetickets for a while Leo then disappeared.

Did it appear in addition to the 31st August date? If not, I was just wondering if it was a mistake and somebody inititally got the date wrong at the ticket centre when publishing the listing?

Sounds like the second show most probably will happen (would be very surprised if they only did the one night)...but I always like to consider every possibility to avoid disappointment! ;)

Yeah, for a while yesterday the two dates were both shown on Seetickets, then it went back to one date.

I've now got seated tickets but surely that gives a pretty naff gig experience. I'll have to try and get some standing ones somehow.

If the seats are reserved it is better.  At the Theatre Royal (long long ago), I was in the middle in the eighth row in the stalls and it was pretty good!  But at Brixton/Shepherd's Bush, I either get there early or just stand at the balcony at the back.  It's too far back at Brixton though.

I have standing and may want to swap for seats if my wife comes along, but that's normally the easier swap to do.

It's not bad now and again. It's a different experience, but it's nice to be able to just sit and really listen to the band playing. Think I will try and get standing for the 1st so that I can also have a "jump around" night. ;)

---

Brixton is a bit strict as well with the seating, often getting people to sit down.  Lots of other venues like Forum and Coronet where I have ended up upstairs are more relaxed about standing.  And then you get the best of both worlds.

Nice one! :)

I shouldn't really encourage people on a message board (as it could be an H+S risk) but if you have upstairs tickets and you have a couple of friends with downstairs tickets get one of them to bring the other's ticket out for you to get back in downstairs. Lots do it. That's why it can get so crowded downstairs when there's a band on that loads of people want to be downstairs for. No idea why they haven't plugged the loophole after all these years.

---

At some venues they stop this by sending you in through another door.  Forum and Coronet do this, which is a pain if you have seats and friends stand.  Not been to Brixton for a few years (Libertines 2004, was quite eventful! http://www.xfm.co.uk/Article.asp?id=20449&spid=22455)  but they never used to stop it. 

Logged in just before 9 to the O2 website, and then at exactly 9 they went on sale. Managed to get 2 standing tickets for me and my girlfriend. Will be awesome, and can't wait! Always prefer smaller venues like this (compared to the O2 or festivals), as you really feel part of it.

Thanks for the link to the priority thing. Have no idea why I didn't think about it. Guess it's because I still think of it as the Carling Academy Brixton.

Bring on August the 31st! :)

My missus got her ticket for 31st August this morning but sadly I'm working that day and there's no way I can get it off, so 1st September is my only hope...

Sounds just like a football match with people wanting to stand and being told to sit down for safety reasons. Oh well, I guess I'll be the one divebombing from the balcony during DYRTFT...

I did actually sit and watch Jarvis and Tim a few years ago at the Manchester college of music, and that was great, but it was an acoustic set and everyone was sitting.

If anyone has one standing ticket they will swap for two seated ones PM me.

if the gf can go then i will need to seating tickets, burrently have 1 standing, so you may well be on with this - just need to see if she can get the time off...

 No, the late Tim McCall who toured with Jarvis solo and together with the rest of the group helped him write Further Complications.

Managed to get tickets for me, husband and 2 friends. Can't quite believe I'm seeing them again!

Literally only just discovered this site 3 minutes ago! Hi!!!!!!

I was so excited when I saw the email in my inbox about the Brixton Academy but my excitement was shortlived as my mum vetoed it as an option within seconds :(

---

  why did your mum veto it? is there no way to convince her? When I told my mum about the concert she insisted on me ordering a ticket for her too! (and i thought I was unlucky)

go anyway :P sorry no ideas other than play Pulp really loud until your mum realise how great they are and how she shouldn't deprive you of the opportunity of seeing them live again

Dinny, let me guess, you're between 15/16 and 18 right?

Just tell your mum you're going and thats that (as long as you dont need her to stump up the cash).

She can't physically stop you and I doubt she'll come up with any kind of punishment which would offset the joy of seeing Pulp.

Not only that but when you come back from Brixton with all four limbs still working and your nose in the right place, maybe she'll realise you can actually manage pretty well after all.

Worked for me back in the day!

er... I really wouldn't tell her that if you've any chance of going. That part of Brixton's ok anyway. Just go for it.

Dinny, I've now been to two gigs at Hyde Park and three at Brixton. Hyde Park was far and away the rougher of the the venues. Brixton is such a lovely venue. Yes, the area is a bit rough, but the venue's about two minutes' walk from the tube station!

So true, Brixton academy is the best place to watch a gig in London, and Brixton aint that rough, its actually quite cool in a way.

According to a comment on Pulp's Facebook page, tickets are already on sale this morning before 9!

currently on the ticketweb queue and seetickets dont have them on yet arghhhhhh

in a queue, very stupid
