Well said again, Billy! I'm happy to be seeing Sparks, but I would expect to be able to get a better seat when tickets are first released without having to compete with any touts who would have seen the link.

I managed to get Stalls Row C! Beyond excited! What a tense couple of minutes booking the tickets turned out to be!

This is going to be the best Sparks show ever, I can sense it! Ron and Russell will smash it!

Don't know if it's the Barbican website or me but 30 minutes trying and eventually had to settle for two tickets in the balcony?
No great advantage gained by renewing my fan club membership but a least I've got tickets!

Glad you got them Rod, it doesn't help when people post the link on here for all and sundry to use!

I'm trying to use the link from the Sparks Maeling List email and I can check seats but then Barbican says "current selection is invalid". When I called them they said that SeeTickets.com handled all Fan Club sales. Which is weird.

Any thoughts on this?
What's been the way to do it for those of you that have?

I've got a ticket for 27,50!
I started at 10.00 AM sharp, but the most expensive tickets had already sold out.

I got the fan club email and was online before 9am ready to buy my tickets as soon as they went live - but it wouldn't give me the option of the stalls - at one point I had five screens open trying to get a ticket to no avail.

Ended up with a seat in row D in the circle which is the same price as stalls but I am disappointed. Also see that someone got front row stalls two hours after I bought mine. Good luck to them but I think this was badly handled and am sure a lot of fans like me will be upset.

Last time when the Barbican handled it there were no problems and I even got to pick my seat from a schematic. People who booked seats via the Barbican were able to get the stalls but the majority of the fan club members didn't get the option booking via SEE Tickets website.

I was disappointed I only got Circle seats after trying from 9am. Apparently, not all stalls seats were released for pre-sale, at 9am...That's bad planning and very strange practise..Not very good when you're a long-time fan and you don't get a chance to be nearer to front of stage...

I am grateful we are getting this in London. I haven't been to the Barbican before but having seen some photos of it, I hope everyone gets a good view wherever they are seated.

Pre-sale sure is no guarantee of a better seat; I learned that when buying Kate Bush tickets in March (although it was a relative/metaphorical walk in the park compared to those who didn't have the pre-sale option).

I'm sure D.P. didn't mean to expose the pre-sale link to all and sundry, he's cool. I did worry the link might get posted when someone enquired about it further up the thread!

Danish Plagiarism did not post some special fan-club-only link to buy tickets; they posted exactly the same link as I did on July 10th, which I found simply by visiting the Barbican website and locating the right date. Any touts could have done exactly the same!
