Josh Groban-The Stages tour

[anthony40]

Firstly, forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong section but (if truth be know) I was unclear as to which category to post this under.

Firstly, he's performing at the Royal Albert Hall. Does anyone have a spare ticket? I only need one (for me). Maybe you know someone who no longer go? I was down at the Royal Albert Hall this morning booking a ticket for a completely unrelated event and asked and it's completely sold out, like completely. When they say sold out, usually there's at least one or two tickets here and there but in this case, ugh! actually sold out!

Secondly, as most of you probably know he's released the CD which most of you probably have, as do I. He's since done  PBS Special and the CD has been repackaged and re-released as a CD/DVD combo. But I don't want to have to buy the bloody thing in order just to get the DVD.

So, buy the DVD methinks. Easier said than done. The DVD is sold through PBS however after emailing them they have explained that they don't sell or ship outside the U.S.A. It's not on Amazon or Ebay. Any ideas?

Thing with Royal Albert Hall, I read somewhere that a seat is owned by a type of shareholder, a lot of times these people release their seat/s, so keep your eye out.

Hi anthony40. Big Josh fan here too. I don't think the new CD/DVD package is as you describe... It's a new CD of him singing live (new track list I believe) with an accompanying DVD. Available on Amazon (in my wishlist as I type!) Good luck, and let me know what you think.

Re RAH. It's very frustrating, because on the night there will be quite a few empty seats. (There were when he did the same show in Hammersmith back in December.) Have you tried booking via his website? Tried some agencies? I've just checked myself and there are LOTS to be had on LETMEIN etc etc Or you could turn up on the night: there will be returns...

Yes, they are, but if seat holders don't want them, they sell via the box office. A few sell via other agents - either primary or secondary.

LETMEIN is a secondary agent, what we used to call "ticket touts" a lot of the time... it's thanks to that kind of thing that you can't get a ticket...

That makes sense... thanks, Monkey. I was confused at it seemed to have some link with the dreaded Ticketmaster. So frustrating!

It does. Ticketmaster decided they wanted a slice of the touts profits so took it in house

Thank for your help guys. Managed to get a ticket via the Royal Albert Hall website. Yay!

Thank you again.

Let's hope he takes Other Pleasures out of the setlist this time...  Enjoy!
