Here am I a humble fan of a special group of musical performers currently extolling the prowess of the band and in the process of doing my usual unofficial PR bit in furtherance of getting new people into venues to enjoy the band for the first time.
      Already I have at least 6 people wanting to come to the Peterborough gig with me.
    Ive  just had a strange phone conversation with Peterborough Broadway Box Office(having tried since yesterday to book tickets on line and failed ) when finally after 35 Min's of trying I got through.
    Hello, could I please book tickets for the front row of the centre circle ?
  Answer= No you cant.
  Me= oh, have they sold out already ? OK then,what about the second row ?
  Answer= You cant do that either.
    We have tickets downstairs you can purchase.
  Me= Well actually I'm aware just how good this show is. I'm bringing friends for their first experience of the band and I'd like them to be in the best vantage point to get the optimum effect of the lighting and sound.....hence my reason in calling well in advance of the gig.
    Answer= Well Sir, the manager has decided that we are not selling ANY tickets for the circle  until all downstairs seating has been sold. We have seven hundred of those to sell you know !!!!
                      If I wasn't so bemused by this strange business strategy its just possible that I might find it ever so slightly amusing.
                I'm prepared to make an effort but the venue might have just as well have told me to PISS-OFF.

Totally understand your frustration there, Bigdog.

My guess is they don't realise how popular our heroes are, and are scared that the band will end up playing to a full circle & almost empty downstairs stalls.

The fact that people in the know -such as yourself- will probably hold back & wait for the circle seats seems to be lost on this clown.
Maybe his last job was in a McDonalds where they didn't open the upstairs seating area till it got busy downstairs.  :-

Sounds like the clown has never been gainfully employed before.  Maybe fresh out of business school.  Even a McDonald's employee would know better.....  :

IDIOTS > >

I'm not altogether happy but Ive just booked row F  downstairs at Peterborough Broadway. Whats the betting that at the end of May the venue management decide to open up for sales of circle tickets ?
        The way that this establishment is managed and their lack of business sense I think it safe to say that they must be heavily subsidised by Peterborough Council ?
                      For those of you wondering why I'm making a fuss ?
          A lot of effort and expense has gone into the bands light show. I really would like to see it to full effect. Sitting too close means that doesn't happen.
