Well since MCD haven't even started advertising it yet I'd say we have a good chance.

No sign of them but they could be released later (with a tour announcement?).

I don't think the last gig was an instant sell out but it did sell out fairly quickly.

To be honest I was quite disappointed with the last gig. There were some excellent moments but there was an also odd culty feel to the performers (was about 13 backing musicians). And not good culty like The Polyphonic Spree.. more a feeling that every aspect of their performance had been tightly controlled by Sufjan. It is really hard to explain but the performance was so exacted as to feel artificial and clinical to me. Down to the way they all swayed in time.... they didn't sway because they wanted to sway.. they swayed because they were told to sway and it was obvious and jarring... like watching bad acting.

Anyway a lot of people did like it so I'd say it will be a fairly quick sell out with possibly some upper circle seats remaining for a short while.

Edit: Found the original thread. Apparently there were still tickets last time around 5.30pm of the day they went on sale but appears that was the last of them. Sold out the same day. MCD ban came in before the gig actually happened so no reaction thread which is a shame. Really shows how long ago that was now.

I have to say the last gig was one of my favourite gigs ever, the visuals and huge band, it was a bit cult-y but in a good way.

Agreed. I seem to remember he opened with a ****ing incredible version of Sister and from there it was a pretty wonderful night.

I'm guessing it's because the tickets are over 40 euro, he's playing two nights and the amount of tickets sold have yet to meet the capacity.

Bought two tickets for the second night and then realised I'm going to Perfume Genius the same night, what an idiot! Don't suppose there'll be people out there willing to swap tickets?

Try swapping, but if you're not having any luck, you might be better off selling and rebuying as typically the market for the latter is much bigger than the former.
