London Tickets On Sale

Splendid. See you in Camden on the 20th.

It seems like it's 14+ now, over everything. I'll definitely be there now, ain't nothing that's gonna stop me.

Be seeing you...

I had confirmation by email from the promoter that they have a 14+ license and will be happy to allow them in.

FANTASTIC!

I got my ticket! Now to see how many people I can get to come.

Looks like it ought to be a fairly well sold night.

£15.00 per ticket? That's like... *does conversion*... $700 each! You'll make out like a bandit! Just don't spend it all in gastropubs.

~chris, hoping Eventful passes the test. go Internets!

I'm going to come all the way from Arnhem, the Netherlands just to see this. Who knows when the next chance is...

See you all then! Sooo looking forward to JoCo Lo Sho....

Got my ticket and my mates!

Ticket Purchased! Now for Train and Lodging!

Booked and looking forward to the 'JoCo Lo Sho'. :-)

Thanks for coming over JC - hopefully it won't be a once and only occasion.

ttfn

I also got confirmation from the telephone number listed on their site that it's 14+, so it seems like it's all good for now. I shall be buying my ticket sometime over the weekend.

It's 14+ now? Really?

Hell yes. Tickets por moi. (Or ticket, you know, I'm easy.)

It's nice to see everyone's happy about the age change, :P. I'd personally rather not bother with accomadation problems, go to station, and wait till morning, then move on...

Like I said, if you need a uke player I'll be there ;)

Woohoo, it's real! :D Now if only the train booking site would stop having 'technical difficulties' :(

"Train and Lodging" Ditto :D
dam work :P slack off

I can't wait, but I'm surprised they list special guests when you don't know anything about special guests.

I hope that's just a mistake, we don't want some two-bit support act turning up (a thirty-two bit support act would be cool though, can you get Paul and Storm to come?)

14+ So booked, also now time for travel and lodgings

Mirjam,

Hopefully it won't be 'a concert too far' for you.

(With all due respect to the British 1st Airborne Division)

I've been trying to book a train ticket online for about three hours now, but the site keeps tripping up at the last step. :( I guess I'll just start walking Londonward now.

woo, ticket and train booked, I’m there, (I’m thinking of getting a lab coat and going as a mad scientist à la skullcrusher mountain/the future soon)

For those worrying about a hotel - it's in Camden, I'm sure we can find somewhere to spend the night clubbing away, then get the first train home in the morning. That's my provisional plan, if the show ends too late (my last train is far too early).

You're following us to London! Or maybe it's the other way around. :) Anyway, we'll totally see you there. Hopefully we can bring some folks from MOO along with us.

If I had a place anywhere near Camden I'd definitely open my doors and floors to fellow JoCo fans. Unfortunately I've just moved down south and will be looking for a sofa (or all night pub/club) myself that night. So excited!!

Hopefully there will be some of you willing to tape and share some of the overseas crowd on youtube. OR even Ustream.tv the show?????? Anyone???

You're right.

@ chris - actually 15 british pounds is about 30 dollars US.

Also, i think the age all depends on whether he plays First of May or not :P

Have fun in England. I really hope you are doing a few shows in a few places, just so it's not like you know you travel and such, do a show, then leave. While there, at least hang out, or do moar shows?

Also, for everyone going to show, you better grab like 2-5 people (not literally) and bring them with you. Show Coulton that shlepping across the ocean was worth it. Liek seriously.

schlepping* , according to http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/schlep

Wootage! I think "special guests" implies that they expect you to have a support act. You know, unless you want to just perform longer than the average musician... which would be cool!

It's entirely possible that the venue will drag in some local teenage dirge to perform in front of JoCo and that's the "Special Guests" - I went to see Bad Religion in Dublin twice, and both times the support act were (relatively) unknown groups who couldn't possibly have been known by the headline band.

If they had a support group that really sucked, then we'd think JoCo was MUCH better than he might have been had he just performed by himself. And that would make someone's head explode, I'm sure...

Oh, be still my beating heart, hooray!!

Ticket Get! Huzzah!

Now to spaff the news to all my chums - having successfully secured my own tickets first. Bwahhahahaa...

JoCo, you should consider coming up to Manchester whilst you are in the UK. Come see some of the real country instead of all that Metro bollocks.

YES! After one website and two travel agencies had the same technical problem reserving my train tickets, I finally managed to reserve some! It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

See you on the 20th!

And believe me I will see you live. I feel fantastic and I'll see you live. And when you're dead I will have seen you live. Seen you live!

I could be a special geust!

I can...umm...well...no wait, scratch that. Booked tickets though :D

I know, maybe JoCo could ask people to bring guitars and while he's having his break, have other people attempt to play his songs, adding a bit of comic amusement into the break.

That's a tiny bit creepy, but well thought out Angelastic.

12 hour soft rocking would take us through the evening which we are all dreading. Whilst I get the sneaking suspicion it was a joke, it is still a good idea...

Only if I can sing along!

Gingerlink, don't suggest such things... He's already saying, 'You guys will all be able to replace me in no time.' Next thing you know we'll be paying for concerts where he won't even show up. BYOJoCo.

It would still be cool though. :D Hey, if he's not going to do a European tour, let's do one for him. There could be many different real and fake JoCos (let's call them 'tribute bands', it sounds better) giving concerts in parallel. We could lock the real one in a cubicle and get him to write a song a day.

That's a little more demanding than a song a week, though much more impressive if he succeeded (only if they were good songs on average). And I thought the whole point of him being an internet superstar was that he didn't have to work in a cubicle any more...

Good idea Angelastic! We could be called the FauxJoCos.

(Now, let me think of something appropriate to get signed. I suppose a half-monkey-half-pony monster would be a good start.)

I'll be unimaginative, and take someone's idea to sign my copy of "The Orange Box", or a PG Tips monkey...

Ticket Purchased! See you on the 20th!

Ticket Purchased, Brother just introduced to JC and is coming along, Bf flight tickets purchased, all in all its promising to look like a wonderful night. See you all on the 20th

Yay have tickets and hotel (theres one just up the road if anyones stuck)
W00t

Ooh, what's the name of the one just up the road? I haven't looked for a hotel yet, this would save me some time.

Hooray! JoCo in London! Just got my tickets for me and my wife - who I've converted to Coulton! (Does that make her a Coulvert?)

Despite subscribing to JoCo's RSS feed and putting my name down on Eventful, the way I actually found out about the London gig was on the blog for the London Eastercon Sci-Fi event happening that weekend - so we're going to see JoCo, Neil Gaiman, Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross in one weekend - OMG I'm geeking out...

ts the Camden Inn, I am personally astounded that how cheep youth hostels are. I Think that i should travel more.

I currently have no money, and I dont start my new job until a week after the gig...but I'm currently working on a plan to beg, borrow and steal my way down to Camden from Glasgow. Can't let this slip past.

Seils:

We can promise you that JoCo will return to the UK, probably by the end of the year. A Glasgow date would be in order. This show in London has already sold 180 tickets, and is looking like a sell-out. We're only slightly shocked!

Yeah, I dont doubt he'd be back. But I'm still going to try and make it down.

I've got my ticket now! Also got at least one friend to buy a ticket - Hoping to get a fair sized Bristol contingent along!

Excellent - Got my tickets :-D

Hey, you know what? This means *we* are the special guests.

do we get paid? I would hate to do a show in front of us and not get paid .. by ourselves ...

I have a headache now :-(

ttfn

Yes! Yes! Thank god!

JoCos in England!

See you there hopefully!

Wow - I can't believe it!!! I never thought you'd make it over here!
Just bought my tickets - can't wait!

After a bit of quick evangelism I've ordered a few tickets and will be there with some new converts from the Midlands! I'm geeking out tremendously. :)

Is it to much to travel from Oslo to London just for a concert? Of course not, not when it's JC! If you think me wrong, you can tell it to my face at Dingwalls ;-)

Nice one! I'll booked tickets for a friend and I, and I'm spreading the word: http://www.exubero.com/blog/20080309_Jonathan_Coulton_in_London.html

I am so there, best thing is night before bank holiday so no need to get up next morning so i am all for an all night mind blowing experience. Now all i need is a friend or two i can drag along with me then i am set.

Believe it or not, in the short 8 or 9 days this has been on sale, we expect it to sell out very soon. If you haven't got your tickets, do it now. Next time; Shepherd's Bush here we come!

Got my tickets as well as my friends.

*sigh* I don't suppose a Scottish show is on the table at all?

Tried to get tickets yesterday, sold out. :'(

Me too! Sigh. Please come back soon. I'm seriously disappointed here!

Sold out. :(

Shurely once you're in England you can stay for another gig... maybe a tour...

I'm so sad I didn't even hear about it til now! Oh well. Please return soon!

From the Dingwalls website

"This show is sold out. There are 30 standing tickets available on the door on the night."

So the rabid ticketless fans out there have still got a final chance... or there might be touts on the night (yuck) of course.
