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.
You might get lucky, now and then

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...

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.
RAH is the very best, especially in front row. O" is not bad just your typical behemoth concert hall
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

Does anyone know how O2 sales are going - as this looks likely to impact on launch date for RAH?

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...
