Anyway, mega-chuffed to just be going, as I couldn't make Greenwich. :-)

All - I believe UT has 4 circle tickets bought in error - I'll let him fill in the details.

There were very few tickets available in the presale, I wouldn't get too down about it. Goldfrapp aren't going to sell out the Royal Albert Hall immediately, obviously they're great, but they're not that 'oh my god we have to get tickets immediately'.  The fact that there are still circle seats available is testament to that.  Don't get too down just yet, when they go on general sale on Friday you'll get tickets. Or someone is bound to have a spare or two. 

Thanks VF, I've been stressed all day because of that. I'll get over it. I just hope Friday will be better. The thing I'm still worried about is that I don't get home until 11 am. But well, let's see what happens. Even if I don't get a very good seat I'll go anyway. Maybe I should start looking for some binoculars.

You'll be fine.. no binoculars needed from any part of the auditorium! 

Haha, that's actually reassuring, thanks ;)

FFS Windows XP cant run this site.

Was going to say to Little Bird. OMG power down moment? NOOOO!   '

Yeh they are so metal.

btw... shot gun not doing the seating allocations on the seating plan for this one haha. 

So, as they say, try to avoid stress first thing in the morning !
Got on the site 9.00.30. Screen says, 'we are currently handling as many tickets purchases as we can at this moment. This screen will refresh in 20 seconds'.
It did and I was in with the code. 3 or 4 ticket options , stalls, arena, 2nd tier, but they were vanishing before my eyes. Arena only row M. Quick calc, 13 rows back, Mrs Appy of small stature, check Stalls. Yes, 4 tix, block L, row 10, seats 97, 98, 99 & 100. Hit buy. They VANISH ! No stalls seats left. Check again, only circle seats left to buy 4 No. Block V, seats 79 - 82. They will have to do; sort later, hit buy, yes, tix secured, pay with Paypal.
The end? No.
Start to shut down web page when up pops a page with the 4 original stalls seats on it. Can I still buy them? Hit buy. Yes, still sitting there waiting. Pay with Paypal. Eventually receive two emails confirming each purchase.
So the bottom line is, I have 8 tickets, and the circle ones are surplus. If anyone interested once you have tried all the other options, let me know, otherwise, I pass onto friends or try my luck as a tout on the night.
No stress in the morning? Yeah, right. Never do a gig pre sale !

Very envious UT! And am I right in thinking you were at the Kate Bush show last night? I've read about it, sounds awesome. I trust if you have been, you'd post all about it?!
