Well in fairness the photo is a composit - the four of them all attended the studio individually and on different days. Maybe it looked ok when it was just them on their own?
Mel B announced today that Victoria is joining them at Wembley on 14th June. That isn’t even one of the announced shows! But I do think VB will come and do Wannabe at some point.

I’ve seen that image doing the rounds and I’m not convinced. They charged £75 a ticket in an arena last time, and other acts - like Madonna - don’t charge those prices for stadium shows. I just can’t see anyone charging £200 for golden circle at Wembley for 80% of the group. Even Beyoncé & Jay Z’s recent tour had a top price (non VIP) price of £150. They are. Ticket prices are all on See Tickets, including details of what the VIP tickets get you.

Made a half-arsed attempt to get tickets for London...didn't manage it, slightly relieved to save myself £100 (plus travel etc) that I can't really afford.

My wife and friends wanted to go so we are going to Manchester. We went to the reunion tour last time around and it was quite good fun so fairly hopeful for this one, as long as they don’t do the solo spots. Mell B trying to seduce a random man from the audience while singing “are you going to go my way” was possibly the least sexy thing I have seen ever on stage, including two meatloaf concerts.

I managed to get Edinburgh tickets this morning suspiciously easily. Opened Ticketmaster, clicked for 2 Standing tickets, paid for them, job done by 10:31am.

I managed to get tickets, but what a drama it was. Over half a million tickets sold apparently.

Never understood the draw of the Spice Girls and their continued appeal, suppose we all want to meet our younger selves every now and again.
As an aside managed to pick up a ticket for Haken at the Islington Assembly Hall without any issues earlier today,.

I’ve never understood the appeal of coming into a discussion and sh*tting over something people are clearly enjoying and commenting about my clearly superior and more intellectual cultural activity. But there you go.
The Girls were on Wossy last night for anyone interested (I missed their actual interview but they all looked gorgeous).

The interview was good fun.
They said they weren't looking to make any new music together unless it happened naturally along the way.

I hope they do visit the rest of the world with the tour, I know they intend too but it's such a shame they have never done an actual world tour that isn't just America and Europe. If they pick the right stadiums, they could easily sell them and also do it in under 40 shows.

I actually really like most of your posts on the board Intelligent and informative However this post doesn’t come across very well And is a bit ridiculous Perhaps when Haken Play 3 nights at Wembley stadium And earn over 100 million from sponsorship deals A parallel might be valid Or artists who are critically and internationally lauded I think you chose the wrong comparison Doubt the Spice Girls would sh*t on Haken

You a Spice girls' fan then, P? I’m too young. I think Spice Girls Represent for a large part of the still living population (who are in their 30s-40s-50s) A time (perhaps the last time) before the world was sh*t Before everyone realised they had been abused or groped or conned or taken advantage of Before everyone was a terror threat Before the news will filled with Brexit sh*t every day Before the malignancy of social media Before the mass proliferation of parasitic reality stars and show Before the irreversible decline of our schools and NHS Before the infection of knife and gang crime where children as young as 8 think a stabbing is normal I think it’s more that the world is in such a sh*tty hateful state now And there is no going back That this sort of tour for many is a chance to escape that for a short few hours

According to reports, at one point yesterday, there was over 700,000 people in line for tickets. One of the biggest sales in Ticketmaster history.

As an aside managed to pick up a ticket for Haken at the Islington Assembly Hall without any issues earlier today,. Well the appeal is obvious - the music. You don’t sell 100 million records through media hype and marketing alone (and not with that much merchandise to also buy). Throw in the fact they’ve barely toured (52 UK shows in 22 years - of which 31 were London based) and leave it at least a decade between tours... well, you can’t say they haven’t left people wanting more.

I can believe it - it must take a hell of a lot of people to make Ticketmaster trash in 2018. It was like the dark ages, I’m not used to ticket websites being unable to cope with demand anymore!

If they pick the right stadiums, they could easily sell them and also do it in under 40 shows. I’ve heard talk Australia is definitely being arranged, which makes sense - they have so many markets they’ve never gotten around to playing that the fact 20% of the band is missing isn’t going to be an issue (which it could be outside the UK, where their levels of success weren’t quite as big as they were here). Plus they tried to visit markets they hadn’t played during their last reunion... but The o2 and comfort of their own beds each night made them quickly forget those plans.

Please forgive my ignorance, but can I please clarify: these gigs are at Wembley Stadium aren’t they, not Wembley Arena? We managed to get tickets but are in block 519... I had no idea that the two venues were completely different as I’ve never been to either. Has anyone ever been to a concert at the stadium before? Google tells me that the capacity is 90,000, which is insane for a concert. I won’t see the Girls by the naked eye will I? (I’m still super excited, regardless).

The issue with The O2 was clearly they got carried away haha. In theory, they did 47 shows at the last tour, they could of done that at The O2 if they hadn't decided to make it a tour, rather a residency. I expect maybe another London show or two because there are about three days off between Bristol and London free, which seems larger than the other dates so appears to be a significant gap. What will be interesting is whether they decide to keep the International shows as stadiums or arenas. They could easily keep to stadiums, but at the same time, but I could see them switch it up as it's their first time there.

Yeah they are right next to eachother, but TORALLY different venues!

Yes it’s the stadium And yes it’s massive for Concerts However about 1/5 of the seating behind the stage is not used if the concert is end on like these dates Your block is quite far away I won’t lie I have sat in the front few rows of lower block equivalents at that end for several shows and it is distant But its directly facing the stage And honestly the atmosphere will make up for it I also depends on what sort of stage show they put on But it’s a group and not a solo artist So sitting with some perspective isn’t a bad thing

The interview was good fun. They said they weren't looking to make any new music together unless it happened naturally along the way. Well, Emma and Mel C have both been in the studio (separately) over the last few months (posted seen on Instagram) which is suspect to say the least, considering they’ve known for a good 6 months they were heading back into Spicemania. From the Jonathan Ross interview and various other pieces they’ve done recently, I actually think they’re playing a very safe game and rolling things out in stages - not only to gage public response and demand, but to see how they feel as a band after each stage too. This way they don’t over promise and under deliver. Emma said on JR that they hadn’t recorded anything ‘yet’, and Geri said ‘first things first, sing the hits’. I still think we might get something - though an album of unreleased material (such as the unreleased 3rd album they recorded with Geri before she left) might be more appropriate at the moment.
