Hinted on Twitter this evening that he might be coming to London to do a concert this June.... couldn't find any official details.

Seems very short notice but incredibly exciting if true! Been admiring his voice from afar (youtube) for years now.

Oh my days...i'm there if so. I've wanted to hear him live for an age. I've spent many a long hour listening and watching his shows on youtube or clips/recording. Most recently his Why God Why.
Unless he's just angling for a concert......it does seem short notice for one to actually be planned for June.

Club11 have just tweeted it's true and they are working on it but have just said to sign up to the mailing list for the when/where info as it's released.

Has anyone been to a show at Hippodrome before? I've never been. I think i've seen pics where it's cabaret style with tables. Given i'll probably be on my own i hope i won't be just stuck on a table with a load of people i don't know and there is some normal seating somewhere too i can book for instead haha! I assume it will be there...most stuff like that is.

Has anyone been to a show at Hippodrome before? I've never been. I think i've seen pics where it's cabaret style with tables. It's a nice venue for cabarets. There are tables in front of the stage with space for 2-4 people around them (4 is a push though!). There are booths around the side which I think fit about 4-5 people. Upstairs there is more seating on a balcony. I can't remember exactly what that's like. For the tables in the centre you book your ticket and then when you arrive at the venue they show you to a table they allocate you. However, in my experience they are quite flexible about letting you move to a different table to sit with someone else - such as anthony40! - if you just tell them. |

I assume it will be there...most stuff like that is. Ive been there loads and its one of my favourite venues. As others have said, cabaret style with tables and booths downstairs and bench type seating upstairs (which will be cheaper). Ive always ended up sharing tables with others and have had some good and some, frankly bizarre experiences. You can get both drinks and food there. Usually the booths are the most expensive as they are slightly raised but you have the disadvantage of people and waiters walking past you all the time so I find the tables are better as there is not so much interruption. Am waiting to see what the prices are like but i'd really like to see him. Should be a great evening. |

I'll be there as well - although can only make the 29th. I've been waiting for JJ to come over, and it has to be on the night I'm seeing Aladdin (29th) and then flying to Ireland for a couple of days on the 30th. Worth getting the night bus home for, though. |

Managed to nab a ticket before it sold out. It says it's a guest list stalls ticket, does anyone know what that means?

There were only 175 tickets per show and 5000 people on the website apparently.

Thank you

If I'd known Anthony, I'd have booked one for you (James here from the quiz table). My phone is pants, so ended up getting a friend to book a ticket for me on hers - can get onto the Hippodrome site on my work computer as it is barred as being a gambling site! Got a stalls seat - must have been one of the last, as it was booked at 16:35.
I hope you manage to get a ticket! May have to bribe one of the waiters to let you in a back door...

I'm legitimately sad I've missed out. As with Anthony, in the unlikely anyone has a spare or knows of any please PM me. So gutted.

Alas there's only so much you can do when you're at work. Just have to pray for either the announcement of a second concert or for a return on the night. |

I think it's poor ot was all so short notice. I didn't even know about it going on sale until it had sold out. I was at work.
Have they ever added extra dates? Surely if 5,000 people tried to buy tickets (not to mention all the people who didn't know until it was too late like me) they know there is huge demand for more shows. I really hope so as i can't tell you how gutted i am about this. It's been a dream om mine to be able to see him live. I nearly did when he was in Finding Neverland as i planned a trip around a few US cities but had to cancel due to ill health. Now again u have the chance and i'm unable to get tickets. So gutting.
