The sound in Brixton Academy sucks and the atmosphere is awful. Think I'll goto Birmingham, a symphony hall sounds much more like it!

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Sigur Rós - UK November dates

I've just joined their mailing list, does that mean I'll get on their presale and does the presale apply to all the shows?

I'm afraid I think it's very possible that there's a mistake regarding the Birmingham date and unfortunately Sigur Ros don't have a confirmed date in Brum on this tour (at the moment). xx

i have to go. but i can't find anything about pre-sale tickets or when they're going to be on sale or anything. it's not even on the brixton academy website. and none of my friends want to go and i'm leaving for greece in about 20minutes.... so if anyone really really nice wants to buy me a ticket and i'll give them the money i would love them forever... please?

Hmm... methinks I'll be taking a cheap coach/train to Liverpool for that one - sound's better than at Brixton I'm sure and I'll be in Bristol so I may as well make the trek...

The sound's not that bad at Brixton.

anyone want two tickets for brixton? The stupid pre-sales agent ended up putting my order through twice!!!! so now i'm lumbered with two extra. Obviously selling them at face value, which i think was around £25 quid including the handling fee. Email me at joellevandyne@hotmail.com if you're interested..
