Got a Cardiff ticket, what a struggle! Such a shame its mostly large venues, last time round Brixton and Royal Albert Hall were my 2 favourites! Wonder if they will do any smaller venues later down the line, or the promoter favours Arenas/outdoor for volume of potential tickets to sell??
Likely to do what happened last time and play indoors from September to May.
I suspect there is more money to be made with 40,000 in a field than 6,000 in Albert Hall or 5,000 at Brixton. Can't say I think of either as small venues, but you can get close to the stage at both.
I love Pulp but that demand was mental. I can only presume a lot will be resale arseholes etc.
Resale for profit isn't that prevalent these days with eTickets. I have noted that lots of tickets become available on Twickets close to the date for lots of gigs. Can only list at up to price paid including fees. Twickets add around 10%.
It was similar demand last time around and even back in 1990s. Ever since Theatre Royal Drury Lane in 1994, Pulp tickets sell very quickly.
They must have been VIP ones where Alex Turner has to engage you with small talk (not sure he's capable to be honest) ehen posing for a photo with the band.
once hawley was announced....i had the wife interested in the idea of flying over....but alas, no luck this morning. oh well....praying the "so far" means at least a NYC show
Two nights in Sheffield Premier Inn for £400 ??? Hotels in the centre are ASTRONOMICAL. I managed to just book an Ibis in Rotherham for 2 nights, 82 quid

Ditto Dublin. Will be in Ireland that weekend, but an extra couple of nights in Dublin is another 400 Euro. Might just head direct to Tipperary where its just 80 Euro.

Travelodge wanted £399 when I checked this morning.. Bloody TRAVELODGE.
Eugh, Travelodge. My mother and I had to live in one for two weeks in 2015 when we looking for rented accommodation after the house fire. (The insurance paid for it) It was absolutely horrific experience for both of us, until my mother pressured the insurance company to move us to the Premier Inn down the road.
It was nicer but then again it was small comfort for losing everything I owned.
Anyway when I went to Sheffield in September I stayed at Russell Scott's Hostel in Upperthorpe. It was basic but it was nice, even if I had to share the female dorm.
Edit: Bugger.

Assuming Pulp get added to Glastonbury, I think that would make them the first band to ever get 'relegated' from being a Pyramid headliner to a lower ranking slot ... With the exception of surprise special guest slots such as The Killers, Pulp themselves or Radiohead.
Certainly no shame as it shows they've remained relevent even after the hits and stardom of the mid-90s, but an interesting fact none-the-less.
Folk are speculating a Pulp followed by either Elton John or Arctic Monkeys headline for Glasto. Both are an intriguing proposition. I absolutely hate camping and being surrounded by people 24/7 but I'm going to try for Glastonbury tickets tomorrow morning for the one and only time.
I think I created the prediction of them subbing for AMs! Jarvis to appear, dancing, to I Bet You Look Good... with AMs. Other stage headliners is also on the cards.
Call into my folks place in Kilkenny, they might put you up
Got the address?
My wife's family are in Tipperary if needed, but alas I don't know anyone in Dublin. Finsbury Park will do for this summer. Only the price of an underground ticket, assuming no strikes...
Think Travis have played much lower since headlining, and Skunk Anansie were back last year. Then theres the Chems who I guess have been relegated to the Other, though of course theyre not a band really.

I'd never go to Glastonbury, but Pulp and Arctic Monkeys on the same bill would be a dream for me. The last two AM albums have been phenomenal- they've come a long way since their early stuff. Although tbh I'd prefer Jarv Is supporting Arctic Monkeys- it's interesting how similar they sound these days!
Found a (very basic) hotel on lastminute.com Sunset Suite on City Road. £81 for 2 nights with shared bathroom but very near the train station. Not sure but I think I might have to share a room but I'm not that bothered.
