[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1987246871"] That's a good question. In the pre-'For Britain' era, Morrissey had a London live audience of around 25,000, so a one-off concert at Wembley Arena (12,500) would have easily and quickly sold out. But evidence suggests the fan-base has deserted him in droves. Possibly 50% or more. However, the online touts may not have fully appreciated this, and they may snap up lots of tickets on release day and the event will appear to have sold out. Then, nearer the time, they may find there is relatively little demand for their tickets and have to sell them for way below face value. But in terms of the Wembley date appearing to sell out (or sell a sufficient large number of tickets not for it to seem like a disaster), I think it probably will and the show will go ahead. Guessing a similar situation applies with Leeds. [/QUOTE]
