Being brave - or foolhardy - enough to have let the O2 booking go by - they caught me out that way last time - I’m now relying on there actually being some RAH concerts, and being quick enough at booking to get some reasonable seats. Does anyone remember from last time when they sneaked the RAH dates into the schedule, and whether there was priority for us lot?
-
Rah dated were announced very late, coinciding with the release of Tracker, which was released some months before the tour started.
I don't think this time it would be announced the date of the release as they have to sell the O2 before, and the O2 is not on general sale yet, and also we are not sure that there will be rah dates... But there are some days free in the schedule after Birmingham and Guy is nit answering questions about it, so...
-
As a non-UK resident, is o2 not a good venue for Mark? Because I just bought tickets for the o2 concert and I'm flipping excited!!
I checked the concert plan for RAH, and I'd say either very early June or mid-May.
-
The RAH is a beautiful theatre, round with a lot of charm. Even it's big is still a theatre.
The O2 is a big hangar. Too big, excessively big, with no soul, not beauty, not charm. Just a big hangar.
I've been in both watching MK and O2 totally sucks versus the RAH, which is probably one of the best and most beautiful venues not in London but in the world.
-
I'm sure it is, to be honest I was not aware that there would be more UK dates, but I am just extremely happy to see Mark again, whichever venue it is, especially in London!
-
To experience 'The Master' at the RAH is just totally out of this world. Again MK at the 02 didn't do it for me...
-
I would bet on 20-23 May or 1-5 June ... given the schedules and occupation of the RAH.
-
I would bet on 20-23 May or 1-5 June ... given the schedules and occupation of the RAH.
I would think may 21 and 22.
At the end of may after Birmingham they have a short break of 7 days before going to Norway.

I think the RAH may be the first few days of June after Birmingham...
I see that EC is in residence from the 13th - 16th May...

I am also convinced that 2 RAH shows will happen May 21 and 22.

Last time it was two days after the Birmingham concert. There was a gap similar to the one this tour and was filled by the two rah concerts and some more in Germany.
It won't make sense they play the rah before they play the O2... But there is a gap before the UK dates as well, and between the UK dates too...
-
RAH is beautiful but sound is really difficult, especially in some parts.
So if not front row on floor, stalls are generally a great choice.

Ahh the famous reflecting snare drum....
Cant remember what year it was I sat there and marveled at the acoustics that could happen in a circular room!
-
I've been there five or six times in different places and the sound was always great.
-
RAH acoustics is so perfect that wherever you go you get 10 sound quality but with different EQ
Arena loud guitar
Stalls the more balanced EQ
Circles loud drums, which can be really spectacular during Speedway and Telegraph
-
Is it difficult to get tickets for RAH shows? I‘m a bit concerned because those shows are really popular. Have you always been able to get tickets in the presale (or public sale) during last tours?
Of course it only matters IF there will be some RAH dates ;D
-
It is difficult because they are very demanded. Usually if you are quick enough you can get good seats at the arena or stalls, if not, you should be quick at general sale.
I managed to see MK four times there. I hope there is a fifth. I guess it depends on O2 arena sales.
-
Apparently the O2 arena only have availability at level 4...
If they are not hiding tickets for secondary market it might means maybe the rah dated could be announced when the record is released...

I had the same thoughts this morning when checking O2 tickets at ticketline, eventim etc.
It seems the O2 show is selling very well (as seems the whole tour).
But last time the O2 went on sale over a month earlier in Septmeber and RAH was announced only mid January.
So by their standards we might have to be patient a little longer.
-
But that was because PCM wanted to announce the rah dates close to the Tracker release to promote it. This time the record will be released in 10 days so if they use the same commercial strategy...

Why do you think the announcement of the RAH dates in January 2015 had anything to do with the release of Tracker in March 2015?
I don't see even a slight connection. The Tracker album and tour were announced September 16th, 2014.
I thought in January they were just holding back till the O2 was substantially filled before announcing the more popular RAH venue.
-
I know that announcement had to do with tracker release because PCM told me that after a too much angry mail from me back then...

RAH is the very best, especially in front row. O" is not bad just your typical behemoth concert hall
-
Does anyone know how O2 sales are going - as this looks likely to impact on launch date for RAH?
-
Do they have a seatingplan to see what is stil availible?
-

Just checked the Eventim website, on the seating plan there are only a few tickets available.
-
Plenty available on axs.co.uk which is the main site for 02 sales.That though is largely irrelevant.There is space for 8 dates at the rah
may 21-22 and 31st-5th June.They won't do 8 but maybe 4 or 5 .Plenty of time to announce them .In my view there isn't a bad seat in the house no need to spend big there to have a good experience.
-
I don't think they do much than 2 or 3 dates at the RAH if they do any...
-
I don't understand this tour. It sells out so quickly despite the highest prices.
I don't see why they don't release the RAH dates.
O2 is not in competition with RAH , it it ???

Maybe they think that if the rah appears, the upper sections of the O2 will remain unsold...
-
Probably 2 concerts in the RAH like Tracker tour...

Yes, very much so. RAH is a much more appropriate venue to hear MK. I got caught last time buying O2 tickets because I didn’t know there were going to be RAH dates - I’m not falling for that again!
-
I checked today ticketmaster and the O2 arena site and there are still tickets available...
We are guessing that there will be Royal Albert Hall dates because it happened like that with Tracker tour too, and there are some big gaps in the tour schedule but last time we heard from Guy that there will be some more before it was announced, this time we don't have any single clue about any real chance of Royal Albert Hall dates...
However, MK gaps and RAH gaps coincide:
MK availability / RAH availability
20-23 May 21-22 May
31st May - 6th June 31st May - 5th June
If it's going to be any RAH date, I bet the 31st of May and 1st of June, just after Birmingham, same that happened with Tracker tour.

We await with baited breath!
-
I think a lot of fans know what they did last time out and are similarly waiting with baited breath. Perhaps the O2 may struggle to sell as a result. Silly way to go about their business and not nice to treat fans like this. :think

Where do you take the idea from that the O2 is not selling well?
The mk.com link to ticketline has sold out its stock a while ago,
eventim has 2 seats left and ticketmaster only 31.
Only the O2 website has some more unattractive seats on the upper tier and a few at the end of the floor left.
I think it is selling well.

Pure estimation on my part to be honest as it wasn't sold out last tour and the sound was not good.
Of course the difference most probably this time is that the dream of RAH shows on this particular tour seems to be diminishing...

But that two gaps in the Ireland and British tour is too big and suspicious...
-
I agree the gaps indeed do fit, so fingers crossed. I would have thought we might of known by now as least?
-
Last time (2013...) it was 21st of January - we still have a few days. Also they are being late with everything, so it seems, I thing late January-early February is possible.
My bet is end of May, 2-3 dates.
Yet again, please, please, no FA on RAH.
-
If they use the same strategy like 2015 dates for the RAH will come in the next 2/3 weeks. In 2015 the concerts also took place at the end of may and they were announced end january.........
::)
-
This waiting is killing me as the boss is asking us for our holidays preferences and I don't know what to do, LOL
The RAH is closing some concerts with others bands so their availability has changed a bit:
MK availability / RAH availability
20-23 May 21-22 May
31st May - 6th June 1st June - 5th June
Still Saturday 1st June and Sunday 2nd June available for a good weekend travel, but that 7 days gaps is a too big gap, so 21st and 22nd of May looks like more likely, if they are playing the RAH, of course... bad part is that are Tuesday and Wednesday...
-
The waiting is killing me, too!
I hope we'll know this week.
I repeat my guess of two shows May 21st and 22nd.
June 1st I think highly unlikely, since they will perform the three days before and it is unusual for MK to perform 4 and more shows in a row on this tour (and he'll do at least 2 RAH shows).
Also I guess they'll take a one week pre Scandinavian break as they did on the Privateering tour (Zwolle was just a late replacement for the cancelled Russia shows).
So for me it all comes down to the two May days.
Just my guess...

Actually I already made a plan of flights and booked a hotel in London for that two days, with free cancellation, just in case :lol

RAH concerts for Tracker tour were announced by mail (or at least I received it) at 11.30 am of January 20th 2015 and went of sale just the day after...

I hope they skip the Fair Admission torture for the RAH shows.
It would only drag the ticket purchase over many days before the start of the classic presale and general sale and cost us a lot of nerves.
-
Sometimes it is not easy to understand PC Management.
I can't see any reason for not releasing the RAH dates now.
The O2 has sold well.
It's once more stalling the fans.

Maybe Crocks will announce a second O2 date soon… ;D
-

The O2 date seems to be (in case the RAH is announced again) more a substitute of the South England concerts (Cardiff, Brighton, Bournemouth) than the venue for London by itself... since there are concerts at the O2, there are not concerts in the South of england, but there are plenty of them in the North (Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield in last tour...)
It's like, hey, don't set up concerts in the South so if they want to see MK, they will have to travel to London to the O2, and we would fill it not only with Londoners but with people from the South that are not having concerts...
Quite an strategy.

Haha, but some of us from 'down South' would rather travel a bit further to hear the master! Probably because we aren't keen on the sound in the '02'
We still await news on the RAH of course..

I hope we can buy RAH soon and I really hope no FA!
-
It's coming soon :-)

So MK.com has got allocated all the floor seats and 430 stalls seats. All priced at £95 which is ok for the front but really bad value for a seat at the back of the arena.
Also seems unclear how many will be in FA and how many (if any) in MK.com.
A feel a another disappointment coming along....why oh why we couldn't just go back to the MK.com presales.

I don't understand until wich day you have to ask tickets in fair admission. It just says that on Thursday you'll have a mail to complete the order if you are lucky, so, the limit is tomorrow? Today?
-
Good question, it doesn't say exactly when the time ends until you can put/change your request.
I think it is tomorrow January 30th 12.59 pm, so that it fits with what the email says:
"If we can accommodate your request, on January 31 we will email your pre-loaded shopping basket with your tickets ready for easy checkout."
-
I don't understand until wich day you have to ask tickets in fair admission. It just says that on Thursday you'll have a mail to complete the order if you are lucky, so, the limit is tomorrow? Today?
having completed the application, You will be notified by the 31st of January that you have tickets and you have until the 2nd Feb to complete the sale...
-
Yes but, until when I can complete the fa petition?
Today?
Tomorrow?

I read it as the 31st....

If you are notified the 31st means that it's closed by that date...

why not just apply now?
-
Correct. You can make any changes you like until it ends.
Then if they can fill your request you will get a link to the tickets/checkout.
On my Fair Admission last time out the e-mail said which section I had tickets in but not the exact row/seat, guess it's the same now.
Good luck to all who choose to participate in FA, it is worth it if you are lucky enough!... "FA will be seated before regular pre-sale"
-
From FA:
If we can accommodate your request, on January 31 we will email your pre-loaded shopping basket with your tickets ready for easy checkout. To ensure all emails from us land safely in your inbox be sure to add fairadmission@markknopfler.com to your address book/safe senders list. Successful Fair Admission registrants will then have until February 2 at 10:00 am GMT to complete the transaction – no rushing required.
-
What is the difference between stall and floor? Which is netter?
-
You may make changes or additions to your request until 10:00 AM GMT on January 31st.
That's the message I got when ordered my fa tickets
-
Just attempted signing up to request tickets. Perhaps predictably, the Fair Admission website has crashed.
-
I wonder if "special guests" means anything else than supporting act...
-
As I have never been to the RAH
What are the better tickets to request, Floor or Stall
Thanks Brian

As in most cases it depends on where the seat is. I have been in the Stalls before and had good seats. They are stacked so no need to worry about a tall person in front of you and the chairs swivel so you can angle yourself toward the stage!
The arena makes you feel right there and you can charge the stage for the encores, however the chairs aren't stacked so if you don't get near the front your view will be restricted. There are also seats to the side that don't have a good view of the stage. Friends of mine had them in 2013.
-
I find this new ticket system very confusing; I'm considering attending a RAH-concert. I live in Denmark, so I have to book flights, hotel etc. with an uncertain deadline for signing up through FA with no knowledge of floor vs stall seating positions... Don't want to go if I don't get a decent seat :/
-
Does anyone know when the normal sales start.My view on rah is there isn't a bad seat in the house.Would rather pay less money and sit a little higher if possible.Esp as i have to explain why i need to go twice in a week.

I guess on 5th of february, as the pre-sale would be on the 4th...
At the RAH there are a lot of bad seats specially if you go to general sale, in presales usually floor and arena sections are sold out, sometimes not but the onlyone availables are the ones far away from the stage, and the circles tickets many times have restricted view... I don't recommend you to go to general sale, there is no guarantee you get a good seat (that would be worse that the ones in FA and presale) at all.
RAH concerts are very demanded from fans from all over the world, take that in consideration.
-
It's now on the RAH website:
Priority Booking for Friends & Patrons opens at 9am on Thursday 7 February
Tickets will go on general sale at 10am on Friday 8 February
-
thanks.
I have been before to see him at the rah and have sat on the floor about 20 rows back.Wasn't overly enthused.Chances are as there are only 2 shows it will be majorly over subscribed anyway but at rah as they have all the seats on the floor fair admission actually does mean the best seats.In the 02 that wasn't the case and better seats were available in the pre-sale and general sale.

Just today I found this text in this url:
https://fairadmission.markknopfler.com/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mk_0129_2019&utm_content=royal_albert#/rah
Royal Albert Hall inventory and process details.
MarkKnopfler.com has 1200 tickets for each of the two concerts at Royal Albert Hall. The total inventory available through MarkKnopfler.com is split between the floor and the stalls. The available inventory will be identical for both concerts. All tickets will be priced at 95.25 GBP for pre-sales. At the time of announce, we are still waiting for the specific inventory. The promoter has told us that MarkKnopfler.com inventory includes ALL 770 seats on the Arena Floor and the remainder (430 tickets) will be best Stalls.
You may request either floor or stall seats during the Fair Admission registration. Fair Admission will take RAH ticket requests until Thursday morning. You may request up to four tickets through Fair Admission. You may request tickets to both shows. However, if you receive tickets for one show, your account will be ranked lower for the random draw for the second show. All tickets purchased through Fair Admission bare a separate Fair Admission fee of 2.30 GBP. All Fair Admission ticket requests are drawn at random. If your request is able to be filled, you will receive a link to a shopping cart with your requested number of tickets by 11:59 PM GMT on Thursday, January 31st. You will have until Saturday, February 2nd at 10 AM to complete your purchase. All ticket orders completed through Fair Admission will be seated together.
You do not have to register for Fair Admission to participate in the regular MarkKnopfler.com pre-sales event. Regular pre-sales will occur on February 4, 2019 at 10 AM GMT and run until February 7. All inventory not purchased through the Fair Admission process will be available through pre-sales.
Both shows at RAH are expected to be in demand. As with the rest of the Down the Road Wherever tour, tickets purchased through Fair Admission will be assigned prior to tickets purchased through the regular pre-sale. All seat assignments will occur after the close of MarkKnopfler.com pre-sales on February 7. You will receive your RAH seat assignments no later than February 25th (and likely sooner).

According to what mk.com says about Fair Admission tickets here: https://fairadmission.markknopfler.com/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mk_0129_2019&utm_content=royal_albert#/rah (https://fairadmission.markknopfler.com/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mk_0129_2019&utm_content=royal_albert#/rah), arena tickets could be either good tickets or bad, as they have ALL the seats in the arena...
Maybe a better bid would be the stalls, they said they have the best seats in stalls.
-
I think so, too.
You'll probably get better seats in the stalls, but chances are better to get a ticket at all if you go for floor tickets since they have more of it than for stalls.
In this new FA age it's not about good seats anymore, it is just to get into the RAH at all!
PS: Shouldn't the registration window be closed by now? It's still open...

yes, I think that in one hour and half they send the results of the FA by mail...
I think this is the first time that mk.com has all the arena seats. Usually there were just the first 20 rows or something like that if I recall well.

It's PM, so it would be tonight when they send the mails :smack
-
registration window is closed and indeed we should get a shopping basket (if lucky) before midnight UK time
-

I hope to see you there! ;)

Are you sure Ingrid?
I can still access and make changes to my registration.
-
I am sure, it was closed. And strange because my shoppingbaskets just arrived and I ordered both nights.
I must have been seen as a scalper before, because now I got both and from the other 9 or 10 I only got 1.
-
I also got tickets for the second night, see you there Ingrid!
-
Got 1 ticket for both nights as well. Not sure about going yet.
Is anyone interested in sharing an appartment with a group Amiters in London for the RAH dates? (has been done before according to Ingrid)
To safe costs and for the fun ofcourse.
I created this topic:

Same for mr, both nights ;D ;D ;D Looking forward to seeing many old buddies.
Now i have to book a flight from Ottawa, Canada to London.

No luck for me. This time won't be RAH.
-
I sent the email Julio said today. Could have been that all that sent this mail got tickets in FA?
-
Got rejected both nights.
-
I read that it's completely random who gets tickets in FA and who doesn't...
Same with the seat assignments, randomly selected in the interest of fairness...
-
Can‘t believe it!
I got two tickets fot both nights too,Wow!
-
Sorry to be so negative today, but isn't it contrary to their FA rules that many of you get tix for both nights and some get none at all?
However, if you receive tickets for one show, your account will be ranked lower for the random draw for the second show.
-

You will have a second chance in presale for sure.

Try it in presale, there will be tickets available for sure.

You are right, I didn‘t expect to get even one night and still don‘t know, why I got both nights.

Don't get me wrong, I wish it to every real fan to get tickets and I am happy for you.
To see Mark at the Royal Albert Hall is one of the most wonderful things in life!

Oh, thank you, I am not sure if I really can go both nights, so I think, there will be tickets available in the presale. Good luck to you!
-
I failed to get tickets for the first night, the only one I could make. I only wanted two tickets! Very disappointed to hear that others got tickets for both nights, hardly seems 'fair'. If anyone has two more than they need, you could make someone very happy!
-
Have been offered two tickets for the 2nd night....we are just sorting our logistics out before 100% committing...
-
I got 2 tickets for both nights ;D
Fingers crossed for good seats.
-
Need 2 tickets for one of the nights, no matter what. If any of you have to share...
Thanks
-
I have been offered 1 ticket for both nights, but i'm only going on the first.
I don't know if it is allowed, but if someone would like 1 ticket for the second night i can pm you the link
-
I'm not sure you can offer tickets to anyone else as the tickets will be pick up on the night usually with id...just be aware
-
Looks like a kind fellow AMITer is helping me out of my nil response for 21st - and as he’s going himself should be ok to hand over tickets. I am extremely grateful.
That demonstrates what a great group this is - but I’m still seething that having attended every DS/NHB/MK tour since 1985, my modest application for two tickets for one night fails. How can this system be 'fair' when others get tickets for both nights?
-
Got 1 ticket for the 21st. Rejected by FA for both shows in Denmark, so I'm happy
-

I might be able to help, because a friend of mine can order as well. But I need to be 100% sure to be able to have the tickets sold. Please put your request on tickets wanted section (which date and number of tickets). And I can sort out if the spare tickets can be of any help. When it is all in different threads I get confused

Ingrid,
I’m hugely grateful for your offer, but as another AMITer has already offered me two tickets for 21st, no need for me to accept. But thank you!
-
I understood Goon, so I already sold my spare ones to another AMIT-er :D
-
I am happy to give my tickets for the second night to another eager fan but don‘t really know how this can be done.
-
If anybody have up to 3 spare tickets for the 21th, I can get them.
Thanks
-
Is someone in need for a ticket RAH on May 22nd? One spare left now. It is sold, sorry guys
-
Hi Ingrid, do you still have a ticket and how much?
Thanks!
-
Just looking through old tour listings, did DS ever play RAH - can’t see that they did but if not I wonder why?! Mark liked round venues and being away from
Football stadia and aircraft hangers...
-
I don’t think so, they probably quickly outgrew its capacity. I do remember seeing MK play second guitar for Eric in 1988 there. MfN was the one song he was allowed.
-
Hi Ingrid, do you still have a ticket and how much?
Thanks!
Sorry, it's gone
-
Oh noooooooo!
-
Hi, any spare tickets for either night still available??
-
Does anybody have an idea whichs could ne the special guests? EC? :hmm 8)
-
"the remainder (430 tickets) will be best Stalls"
What do you think, where are those "best" seats located in the stalls? Could it be that those seats at the side/almost behind the stage are included in those best stalls?
-
Depends whether they are special guests for the MK part...
The support act has been referred to as special guests from memory.
But...given he keeps pretty much saying this is “his last big go-around” I think these could be legacy shows. Big John Illsley would be superb. A DS reunion without the hype?! Is it me or does DTRW sound more like a DS album 20 years on than any of the other solo records.
-

A strange day. Having been rejected for a Fair Admission two days ago, today I got an email saying I was in after all. I jumped straight in, and have paid for two stall tickets.
However, demonstrating the tendency of AMITers to stick together, in the meantime I had been offered and accepted two arena tickets by an extremely kind fellow member here - let’s call him Nir, for that is his name. So I now have two arena tickets more than I need. I could offer them to friends but would prefer that they went to someone else here who needs a couple of seats for 21st. If that’s you, please could you PM me and I’ll put you directly in touch with Nir to sort out the logistics. But I’m the one who owes Nir a pint!
-
I am in the exactly same case than you, with 2 tickets offered by Nir, and 2 tickets from the second FA.
I have 1 ticket left for the 21th, floor one.
If anyone is interested, please, contact me.
-
Mine is finally shared. Thanks. And many thanks for the underground work done in this beloved group to assure the real fans can be where they deserve.

Will take both for friends, Nir sold me mine as well, please answer private.
-
As Binone says, mine have now reached a good home.
-
What is the difference between stall and floor? Which is netter?
stalls, floor/arena only if you are on the first rows or you don't see anything
-
Just to elaborate, any stalls seat should give a reasonable view, although you may well be further from the stage than the arena; arena is more pot luck unless you’re near the front. It is the area where seats are removed for the Proms, and isn’t raked. Sound is fine, view not so much.
-
Yes, I'm there :lol :lol :lol :lol Somewhere between row 1 and 29

-
I’m sure it says this somewhere in the bumph, but when do we get specific seat allocations?
-
in 2-3 weeks apparently
-
Thanks, Banjo.
-
Just had an email with seat details.
-
Me too!
-
Got an Email with my ticket assignment.
Tuesday Area Row 1 Seat 11 ;D
Wednesday Stall Section G Row 1 Seat 5 :)
Good seats for both nights

Thats for correcting the days, I do not know what I was thinking.
Yes Tuesday and Wednesday

I'm quite surprised that nobody except BrianT commented about their seats in the RAH...
In Spanish City facebook group people are quite dissapointed as they got tickets in the arena in rows from 12 to the last...
I didn't want to take that risk and ordered stalls, and got good seats in stalls H
-
I've got row 14...
-
I got Row 1 :clap
-
I didnt want to 'brag' because i know there are a lot of people with 'bad' seats. I think i have (one of the best) the best seat in the house, Section A, Row 1 seat 18. Thats full center. So im very happy but i understand a lot of fans are not.

Yes, very good seat!
Me, in a place like the Royal Albert Hall I always rather have stalls because what the RAH has of special is the theatre, the views of the venue, and being in the arena, specially at row 1, your view is the stage and the organ behind the stage, while being in the stalls, when you look at the stage, visually you get views of the mangificient theatre at the same time, it's enjoying the venue and the show at the same time.
I rather have any stall, no matter how far, than row 1 in the arena, for sure, so I don't envy you at all :lol

I can look behind sometimes ::) In 2013 i was at the very top (Gallery). That was nice, but too high.

Yes, but when you are in the stalls you don't have to look behind, LOL
To be in the gallery has to be great in terms of have a general view even the stage is far. Actually most of the dvd recorded of artists at the RAH have many scenes recorded from the gallery because it offers the best view of all the theatre together with the show!
First row is the best when you are in some of the hangars like the O2 or the Genting arena of Birmingham, places with no charm at all and biggest as stadiums. In places like that you don't need to turn because, why? those places have no charm.
-
I have got Section A, Row 1, Seat 12. is that a good seat? :hmm :think

6 seats away from the dead center. Bad luck, you cannot see the hairs in Mark's nose. You can see them in McCusker's nose.
-
But yes, its a good seat! Front row, congrats!
-

On which night is that, out of interest? Hoping you are going to say Tuesday, as I have seats 11 and 12 in the same section and row for Wednesday!

I'm now thinking if I should do a second show this tour and RAH would be the choice. May 22nd, there's still some Rausing Circle and Gallery tickets available. Does anyone have experience on these, regarding the view and sound? Or if anyone has a ticket to sell, I could be interested :)

from my experiemce, there is NO bad seat in the house @RAH

I agree, there is no bad seat at the RAH...especially as it is 'circular' the views and the sound are second to none... :wave

A section in the arena to the far left don't have a very good view. Friends of mine received tickets for there in the pre-sale and weren't very happy with the view. The choir behind the band have a rather unique view shall we say. I sat there once and although I saw the back of Mark for most of the show I had a birds eye view of Guy.

Ahh. Right-o.

Soundwise the RAH is structurally dirty echoing, it is beautiful but not on par with modern standard for sound.
We are very lucky that MK is using latest technology PA because I remember in 2001 being seated in a 2d tier box and that was sounding quite average.
-
saw Clapton a few times at rah , once I was in choir behind in 2009 and echoed badly, 2013 1st june for knopfler,i was in upper circle and during corned beef city guitar was way too loud and unconfutable, the rest of concert was fine

With you on that. Cant remember which year it was but do recall sitting somewhere just in front of the choir stalls and being subject to the worst snare echo ever!

Press release on the RAH website that they have a new sound system. All might now be well...
