Any chance on Bruce Springsteen soon? I would settle for Neil Diamond.

That's a shame. They did bring out a couple of chairs for people that couldn't manage to stand. A lot of people sat on the stairs.
There weren't that many people there , so standing wasn't such an ordeal as it is when you daren't move in case you lose your place and your view of the band.
It was a good evening. All the acts only did about 4 songs. Nell Bryden was a good singer, but not really my cup of tea. Caro Emerald was much livelier and better all round- 5rannoch liked her so much she b*ght the cd. I also enjoyed the Christians, though I am not that familiar with their music.

I hope you are feeling better now superhero

Thank you! It sounded quite nice, I don't mind standing, but my friend hates it.

Result! o/ I complained about the delivery charge and got this reply. I know it is a small amount, but it is the principle!
Hi xxx

I just wanted to get back to you on your email regarding the Russian Standard gig because I work for the promoter of the show.

Although the tickets are free because Russian Standard Vodka are covering all costs related to the show the tickets still have to be formerly registered and managed through our ticket partner Ticket Web. They have a fixed transaction fee of £2.25 per pair of tickets to these shows so this payment has to be processed to guarantee entry to the gigs.

However on this occasion Russian Standard would like to offer you guest list plus 1 for the night. All you need to do is go to the guest list queue on arrival and state that you're on the Competition Winners guest list.

Many thanks,

Lucy

Well done prettyxcool!! I did think they dropped the charge last time at the end, when there wasn't enough of an uptake on the tickets

Where do you get the £10 tickets from? If you don't mind me asking.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!
