I got a kind answer from PCM, Glasgow is NOT the first date.

Thank you for the info.

I hope to be able to  do the opening (finger crossed)

(did he tell you where/when?)

No, I didnt asked, my only concern was to know if it was the first or not, to buy tickets or not, so I didnt push my luck further and asked just about Glasgow being or not the first.
You might get lucky, now and then

Has anyone been able to figure out any of the missing dates from the various bits of code etc that have been unearthed?

NO, but it seems UK is in one row.

MK.com is offline now because of maintenance. I hope there will be no bugs for presale  ???

Yes.  Well, I presume so anyway.  The seats are removable but I would think it's seated.

Refundable: In general, no. You won't get a physical ticket but have to print the confirmation mail. Then take this print to the RAH at the night of the show and fetch your ticket after maybe even showing your credit card which you used to buy the tix.

Has it been easy to pick up the tickets at the venue on earlier tours? Haven't done it before and I haven't been at the RAH before so I would like to know how it works out. I will also consider making a trip to London for a couple of days around the MK shows and attend a one or two  :)

Questions;

Is it difficult to get tickets to the RAH shows through MK.com?
Is it even possible to get for the last show (saturday)?
Are the tickets in any way refundable?

Let me try to help:

You have to sit in front of your computer at the given Presale Start time (RAH f.e. Aug 29, 9am BST, that's Wednesday!) and order as fast as you can.
You must have an account at MK.com, if you don't have yet, hurry up and subsribe! You then will have to wait until you get answer within a few week's time and exactly get told which seats you have got - in general they are very good, within the first 4,5 rows I would say.

When Presale starts at the given time, you can order at the concert you have in mind. All six RAH show presales start at the same time, as mentioned above. So you can choose which show you want to order, or order all six in a row if you like!

Refundable: In general, no. You won't get a physical ticket but have to print the confirmation mail. Then take this print to the RAH at the night of the show and fetch your ticket after maybe even showing your credit card which you used to buy the tix.

BUT: The people at MK.com are willing to help. If you are not able to attend a show and can foresee it some time before, you will be able to mail to and ask them for a solution. It has happened before. You can f.e. try to get rid of a ticket here at AMIT and then try to convince the MK.com people to change the name and dates that are desposed.

Hope this help!  ;)

Thank you very much for your answer LE!
At least there's a possibility for me to see him in the Albert Hall this tour. Not sure yet, tho.

what are the arena seats like 5 or 6 rows back?Can you still see ok or do you get the persons in front head in the way etc.?
I got shafted in the hammersmith pre-sale being given a restricted view seat so i want to be sure before i commit this time.
Last time at rah i was in stalls directly in front of the band rather than the side which was ok although a bit distant.

I believe that the arena seats are not staggered, so you have someone seated immediately in front of you.  However, I was in the stalls directly in front of the band for STP tour and I felt really disconnected from everything - it was just too far away, so I think I will book for the arena, in the hope I can at least get to the stage for the encores.

Another thing of note is check the presale times as for me personally the Bournemouth show presale has changed from 10am to 11am!!
RAH unchanged and is still at 9am....

Yes, I wondered about this too;  the non-staggered seating issue.  I have never been in the arena in the RAH, always the stalls and I've always managed to get a good seat.  Last time I got an excellent seat but of course you can't rush the stage or meet the AMITers!  Something which was to my great loss and I'm sure to put right this time.
