Sorry if I've missed a thread and this has already been discussed, but anybody going (or can afford to go) to this?

"How to book
Tickets are limited and early booking is highly recommended
Call the Events Ticket Hotline on 020 7543 1389. Alternatively complete our booking form"


I think it's possible...


But... On top of the message:

"This one-off concert, before an invited audience only, will be at The Hurlingham Club on Wednesday 9th September 2009."

So I don't know...

Perhaps you receive an invite and then you pay in order to support the charity? It isn't clear at all is it? I'd happily pay but I don't think I could afford to take the wife too!

"Tickets are limited and early booking is highly recommended"

So, if it's only for invited guests, you don't have to book early (and why limited?)
And the site says you have to book early!

My english sucks, but i hope you understand my point...

Seems to me if you give them lots of cash (for a good cause) they invite you. :)

Nice to see MK doing some more charity work again. I guess this will be part of a series of little promo gigs once again.

I have looked at booking form. This appears open to anyone with the cash. Will be a great venue, smallish crowd and bound to be some new stuff played.

I am a bit mystified how this has come to light.  ???   I looked at Guy's Forum, but apart from a vague question about the Hurlingham show, no more info about the Prince's Trust. 

Thanks, everyone for the info!  I would just love to go, but it is a bit too pricey and we would have to stay two nights in London and travel down from Yorkshire.   Anyway..... ::)

Mmmm, I'd spring for 100 pounds, but then the cost of travel from California to London, oh wow.  It would be a great birthday present from me to me though.

Oh, it's 350 or 200 pounds.  Well, it someone would donate the travel money, I'd still do it.  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks, Dusty. Will google later, too busy today. I tried to call them, only an answering maschine was on. But yes, it is close to us, we live at the moment in SW11, but move to NW3 soon.
I'll go if I can get a ticket.
