Pity they aren't picture tickets.

 

I know, but this is feels so real now! I didn't really believe it at first, now I'm holding the damn things in my hand and am absolutely hyped!

BBC weather forecast is saying - Tuesday, between 4 - 7pm, 20 - 21 temp. with sunshine, bit of cloud and slight showers. Later on - dry.

Do we even care? There's a roof!

 

Actually, colder weather is best for a RAH gig - especially if there's no queueing involved, as it can get mighty warm inside.

This concert is Wednesday though...says sunny intervals at the moment. We'll obviously get a more precise forecast in the coming days.

As long as I don't melt!

 

I think you'll be fine

I see more tickets have been out and about...

 

Interesting - hadn't spotted "Stage seats" in the listing before - were they always there?

 

Guess, with the show being in the round, it's an opportunity to put people on what would normally be the stage. Had thought that it'd be a bit odd having all that empty space at the back!

 

Makes you wonder where the screens & lasers will be, mind...

I'm imagining it to being projected onto the roof! As for lasers, they might be surrounding the stage?

It's keeps popping up that they're available but when I got to buy them they're unavailable. This is FRUSTRATING!!!!!

No, you'd ruin the acoustics if you had screens in the ceiling. The roof is great for atmospheric lighting, mind. I guess there's still the space in front of the organ for screens - I just checked out this photo from years back when my son sang as part of a schools event and the stage was packed out. View from the Circle, BTW - the conductor is right in the centre of where I'm expecting the stage to be - a good enough view for everyone?

Mind you, wouldn't it be great if Chris used the opportunity of the venue to play Fix You on the organ, like Matt Bellamy did when Muse played there:

And Madness did it too:

I guess lasers will be from around the organ. Putting them around the stage probably wouldn't give them enough length to punch through.

Not putting screens on the roof, PROJECTING the images into it.

Why put up screens in the first place?

 

Projecting images looks way better in my opinion.

But it's a complex structure, with the acoustic mushrooms hanging.

 

Of course, if you did some very clever mapping, you could project onto the mushrooms, but I doubt the effort would be warranted for this event.

 

This, from before McCartney's Teenage Cancer Trust gig 2 years ago is about as good as you can get - great for pre-show effects, but hardly Coldplay quality HD video...

What about images projected onto the audience? I have seen that before at other gigs.

So, this little jewel arrived this morning :)

If you want tickets, now is your chance. (Actually, these seats are better than mine!)
