Being labelled a far-right racist in this day and age is almost a badge of honour.
It's becoming unavoidable.

Not sure how much the criticism of the left-wing Twitter brigade will actually affect ticket sales.
Not too long ago, these people thought they were going to get Jeremy Corbyn into Number 10.
Twitter is not representative of the real world.
I think he might have driven his own fans away over the last decade by playing gigs consisting mainly of 'new' songs. Much as the adoring uber-fans enjoy the new songs, his ever-improving voice etc., most people are just there to see/hear the Morrissey they remember from The Smiths.
I'm really torn (for financial reasons) about getting a ticket in advance or trying to get some on the day. My mate isn't prepared to pay those prices. Decisions. Decisions.
Dude, the ticket prices will tumble. Mark my words. The online touts haven't realised how much of Morrissey's fan-base has deserted him, and they will snap up tons of tickets hoping to make a fortune. With a week to go before the concerts, the going rate for tickets will be less than half face value.
Well, you know, I could sit here typing a deep & meaningful effort, but frankly I can't be arsed. That's not to disrespect these two posts, I just don't have the inclination.
But, I will say, the situation is what it is re; Moz. It can't be changed, we can't go back in time, even if we wanted to; Moz is his own man.
He could, if he chose to, issue statements & apologies until he was blue in the face, & it still wouldn't appease some people; they'd still want more & more from him; it would be futile; it ain't going to happen.
I don't think Moz is the type of guy to be doing such things; we all know he's stubborn & non-conformist, maybe down to his Irish blood.
He's honest when others live in fear of being honest, & I, & many others, admire this quality in him; I agree with many of the things he has said; he's been so right about many things, yet I find that so many people have got him so wrong & lambasted him, unfairly. To my mind, those who wish to wallow in the past can do so & hopefully, in time, deal their own inner demons & the mental torture which they put themselves through.
I'm a glass half-full chap, so I'm optimistic for Moz, that's all I'm saying, & I'm looking forward, in a general sense. I wish Moz well with everything; despite any shortcomings which he may/may not have; I love the guy, & many others do; I love all his many works, & am hopeful that the single, the album, & the tour, however short or long, are all successful for him.
Longer than I wanted, but there you go. Cheers.
Stubhub a week or a few days before the gig and you might even get standing tickets a bit cheaper than now if people have to drop out for whatever reason.I'm really torn (for financial reasons) about getting a ticket in advance or trying to get some on the day.

It can be changed and it has to be changed, if Steve wants any kind of career after the release of Dog on a String. Apologies until he's blue in the face? Nope, not necessary. One simple, clear apology is all we need. One admission that he has f***ed up massively, that he doesn't really understand the world of politics, that he was simply just drawn to Anne Walters a long time ago (when she belonged to different political parties) and mainly because she was a vegan, lesbian feminist. That her party's policies of denying climate change, slashing taxes for the rich, spending billions more on military conflict, abandoning all policies to help countries in trouble - doing all the things that any decent person (and apparently most of his fan-base) would totally object to - are something that he now refuses to support, having found out a little bit more about the ghastly f***ers.
That's all he needs to do.
Friends/relatives/colleagues of Morrissey, please explain this to him before it's too late.
Wonder if Moz will have his wonderful 'music video support' instead of an actual support act. I hope so. That was great last time round.

I got a ticket for Ally Pally for half the ticket price a week before the gig from Stubhub.Dude, the ticket prices will tumble. Mark my words.

Wembley will sell like hot cakes tomorrow and then he'll have to book a week's residency at the London o2.
Since then it seems the fan-base has massively hemorrhaged, largely due to his unambiguous support (via a specific message on his website, and his decision to wear their emblem in front of millions) for a far-right political party which is complete anathema to most of his fans (and, let's face it, most decent human beings).

totally agree Thewlis,seen him 12 times in small venues before the big single venues started,not for me,too big,no intimacy.would love a return to town halls but logistically its probably too much and too expensive.Lots of Morrissey-fans are music lovers and appreciate the finer things that come with it, exclusive vinyl releases and so forth. I’ve heard many Morrissey fans, also on here, complain about the choice of venue in the UK.
So my guess is they won’t sell out, but will still attract 80-90 per cent. Hopefully he will then (April-May) do a longer tour of 2,000-3,000 which will sell out much easier as Moz-fans in general prefer this kind of venue.
