    Hopefully there should still be some decent tickets left after tomorrow - I'm praying. Really don't want to be super far away like at Greenwich.....

    Why the fuck did they not announce this BEFORE I spent all my money travelling to Greenwich?! Seriously?! :(

    Screw them. Wake me up when the next album is out!



    Probably because the Greenwich publicity said 'Goldfrapp's only London gig this year'.........

    ^ No you don't want to be super far away, and the Albert Hall is pretty big.  The one time I went there with tickets a long way from the stage, I wished I hadn't bothered.  I wonder how much the tickets will be.  That's an issue, as far as I'm concerned.

    Well I can see why this isn't ideal for everyone, but with my selfish head on I'm pretty happy about it. So excited to see you guys again so soooooon! :))

    I don't think there's any such thing as a bad seat in the royal albert hall. Those of you who are friends with me on FB, I've uploaded an album of shots from around the empty venue. Due to work computer restrictions I can't post them on here (online storage not allowed, nor is access to FB to get said photos) but if anyone wants to go on and steal them to put them here then I'm fine with that.

    Also, if money is a massive issue, there's always the standing gallery section at the top.  The view is still pretty decent (especially if you can move around closer to the stage at the sides) and the tickets are usually available for around £5-£10.  It just depends on the kind of experience you want I suppose.

    Hahah oooh er!! 

    Just for clarity, the first picture is from the gallery just to the left of the stage.  The second picture is taken from the upper circle, about three rows back, just above the really big white light in the gallery photo.  I hope that makes things a little clearer. Also, they do usually have seats on the floor, so whether this will be standing or seated I don't know... would imagine seated with there being a full orchestra, but you never know.

    I have just received the email.  For anyone who does not, it is simply a password activation once you get to the site, so post on here if no email show and the details to access can be passed on.
    One of the good reasons for having this fan forum.  Only people on here are Goldfrapp fans, not tout bastards looking to buy a load up and rip people off.

    I was unable to attend Greenwich due to other people on leave, so this does help me (bet lost) . And we can sing "Rule Britannia" while we're waiting.

    The touts will be on the mailing list , arguably if your tickets aren't being touted then you're irrelevant - World class spin doctoring.

    I will accept bets that this will help no one who couldn't make it to the Greenwich show. I'll actually be in London just a few days before this so perhaps i'm bitter...

    Well, I am one of those who couldn't make it to Greenwich, but will be able to get to the Albert Hall (bet lost) :-)

    I've seen Goldfrapp twice before at the RAH... both times I was down on the flat bit (1st time in row 5, 2nd time in about row 20). If you end up in this section, be aware that there is very little slope, so those further back than row 15ish might find their view less than ideal. When I saw Tori Amos there I was way, way up and to the side...so a bit of an odd angle. Either way, it's a gorgeous venue with superb acoustics and always a good (if somewhat formal) atmosphere.

    Oh, thanks for the RAH pics, Sally and ping!

    Obviously on those pics, the seats on the flat bit (can't remember the proper name) have been removed...
