The Kaisers couldnt play at Odsal due to a deal to play elsewhere (I think it was york) that could effect the ticket sales for that event.
So were not allowed to take the Odsal gig due to clauses in the contract they had already signed with other summer events. Likewise with other artists.

The Killers are to Tour the uk in 2014 and Odsal has been mentioned. Along with other bands and Artists.

The main event for next year that is being looked at is a whole weekend. Starting Friday, All day Sat & Sunday. like Bingley but a lot bigger but not as big as Leeds Festival etc.

When I last heard. 12,400 tickets had been sold but that was about 3 weeks ago. Before the deal went on Groupon and other websites.

I know that the ticket office has been very busy last week and they are having a big marketing push to get tickets sold.

At the last forum I spoke to the guy stage right who fielded most of the questions (Ryan is it?) and he answered my question afterwards saying they'd sold about 4,500 tickets. And this was the weekend of the Wigan game, 4 and a half weeks ago.

Hindle,Joe Tamani could also be called Walter Mitty

I guess we will see who is right on the 25th May. It would be cheaper to cancel had only 4,500 been sold I would have thought.

... but he did say they were hoping for a big surge in sales and hoping for around 10,000-15,000.

But they said the same about season tickets so I took that with a pinch of salt.

I've no doubt they've sold more since.

He can be who he wants to be. I've no problem with people saying they are in the know, whether they are right or not... it means little to me and it doesn't change what actually happens!

There's an 80s concert on? Wow if they'd have mentioned it, I might have known. They should advertise it more on Twitter. I'm sure endlessly repeating exactly the same tweets to exactly the same followers would do wonders for the ticket sales.



(On a serious note, well done to them for trying something and they need to aggressively advertise it. And the radio stuff they've done with it has been good. It's just the twitter "advertising" that I think is b0llocks)

Hindle, Just spoke to a friend and he said they have sold 5,600 as of yesterday.

So that's gonna be a massive loss then.

Wow, that is going to look awful in such a big stadium.
I feel for the directors on this one, they are clearly making efforts to bring in extra cash and for whatever reason - be it the economy, weather etc. - people just aren't taking to it.

Joe,yesterday you said they had sold 12,400, does this confirm you just make things up

Where's Joe Tamanis last post abusing me gone

No, the difference is to refunds for people who realised they'd been Rick-rolled

I've dealt with it.

Move along peeps.

I think it is quite worrying the amount of tickets that have been sold

You would have to feel sorry for OK if this turns out to be a bit of a let down
