There appears to have been a queue numbering system as per most gigs for front of stage.

Just got in and stood near the front. Plenty in already and quite a few people outside asking if others are selling tickets, so guessing it’ll be a packed out show! The top tier is covered, though, so it won’t quite be full capacity.

Nothing on the merch stalls caught my eye and I was quietly hoping that the CD and vinyl of I Am Not A Dog On A Chain would have a debut at these gigs. “All The Young People” 7” is on sale too, for those that missed out.

How can that be when there are loads of areas covered with black curtains, someone else is posting pictures from there?

Well, some called it, but the Neville Buswell image holding IANADOAC is the first proper instance of 'fan made' images appearing on tour merch (assuming it's not anyone else's idea)?
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Edited my post to mention the curtains a few minutes ago, old chap. As long as it’s full of people sat/stood where tickets were available to purchase, it’s packed out.

Just so long as you ignore all the empty spaces and unsold seats, it's a sell-out!!

Here now, it's legit 90% empty. Maybe everyone is still in the pub?

Merch.

Oh geez, I see a Lou Reed album signed by Moz.

C'mon. It has sold badly. We all know that but ... let's be fair ... doors have just opened. Let's wait and see how busy it gets.

“As long as it’s full of people sat/stood where tickets were available to purchase, it’s packed out.”

Meaning, regardless of how many seats are in the venue, if only 5 seats
were made available for purchase and
those 5 seats are sold, then, it’s sold out.
