The Barbican don't seem to know whether they're coming or going...when I rang for tickets (last friday)was told that I couldn't order them  over the phone for another 2 weeks (?) but I could order online. So I did...wish I hadn't wasted my time in their phone queue system. Still, got 'em today...wahey ! Roll on 18th July !

Now it says "This event is on priority sale to Barbican Members until 16 Apr."  Shocked


Perhaps that should have read "... and members of TAW".

Our tickets arrived today - must put them in a safe place.

I really must get around to thinking up something witty and urbane to put here.

To be honest, apart from the members only confusion, (and I am not a member), I've always found the Barbican ticketing system efficient, comparitivly cheap especially in terms of booking fees, etc. and friendly and also seemingly well-meaning whenever  I've had telephone contact with them.
Our tickets also arrived today by the way.

Mine too so that aspect is obviously efficient. it is a little unfortunate if they have made a hash of the preferential booking for members but fortunate for many of us here.

I had a look at the seating plan for the stalls today and it is about 75% sold out, maybe more. The remaining seats are all to the sides.

good Lord Cocker, did you think I meant Ric Sanders the esteemed fiddler, so sorry I meant Dick Saunders an old drinking mate of mine who's party trick was to show his birthmark and you had to guess what it reminded you of!  "the last turkey in the shop" was the winner   Swarb Shocked
