My mum vetoed it on the grounds it's in Brixton (which is apparently dodgy) and because she seems to have lost the ability to be positive about anything. I offered to buy her a ticket as well and all!! Talk about generous :P
I'm trying to figure out a way around it though, so if you can think of anything it would be most appreciated :D
probably too late now, but may be worth mentioning that it is right next to a police station & that will be plenty of other like minded people there, so you'll practically have an escort to & from the venue
We are very lucky aint we, should've been more notice of the 2nd date onsale time. Was nice that the wednesday seemed to be all pre-sale though, we will all be good people.

There are some on ebay . You'll be looking at spending £50+ but really, at this stage, you could do a lot worse especially given that prices will escalate in the next few weeks. I'm just relieved to have got my ticket for the 31st.
I wanted both dates, but took my eye off the ball a bit this morning, probably because I already have 31st Aug ticket. Suppose I just assumed there would be no mad rush over the 2nd date selling out - WRONGO! Interestingly, there are still Morrsissey ticket available for Brixton, which also went on general sale this morn - looks lik Pulp is currently more popular than Morrissey!
I think I'm going to resist the tempation to pay over the odds on ebay, or any other dodgy place and take my chance with the touts on the day. Or maybe someone will be selling a spare on here nearer the time - you know how it is when less fanatical mates pull out, work commitments etc.

I dunno, maybe they will announce a UK tour and people won't get ripped off. Only doing 31st Aug as I still expect another date in Nov/Dec.

Why wouldn't they be? If it was Morrissey and Marr play The Smiths, then perhaps it would be close, but as he does a lot of the less than great solo material then Pulp doing their greatest hits and more is always going to be mroe popular. Also Pulp tickets were £10 less. Given what some acts are charging these days, Pulp is a bargain.
Anyway my wife will be happy I got the Morrissey tickets this morning, sadly not at the Palladium, but instead at Brixton, but it will probably work out better as it is a Sunday night.
I got Morrissey for Brixton - didn't fancy the palladium as I had an image in my head of it all being a bit more reserved and well behaved. I think maybe the Morrissey tickets haven't sold as as he has done quite a few other dates recently. Morrissey has a HUGE hardcore fanbase, so I think it is a enormous achievement that Pulp have sold out faster.
Well I like Pulp and I like Morrissey as well... but which one is better... only one way to find out... FIGHT!!!!
I can't believe it's sold out so quickly! In a way I'm pleased to see Pulp appear to be recieving more love than ever but more importantly I'd have liked to have got a ticket for that second date!
The Smiths do, but Morrissey less so in recent years. Not had an issue getting tickets for his gigs in the past, though the prices are always higher than most. Maybe his fans are selective in the gigs they attend. But he has been touring on and off for the last twenty odd years, so maybe the interest is waning.
Pulp haven't been on a stage for nine years (or maybe 15 if you consider the full line up), so it is bound to generate more interest. A couple of years down the line it may be different.

That I would like a ticket for. Pulp would win due to sheer numbers, but I think Morrissey would have most of Pulp on a one to one basis, bar Nick and probably Steve.
I really wasn't surprised it sold out so quickly after the publicity surrounding Glastonbury and Wireless. By the time they have done T in the Park and Reading/Leeds the weekend before, a lot of people will want to see Pulp, especially if the shows are broadcast on the BBC.
