Some advice for those of you worried about getting a ticket on Friday...
The demand for Morrissey tickets in London tends to be between 12,000 and 15,000 people (e.g. 2 Albert Halls, 3 Brixton Academies) depending on how recently he's toured, where else he's touring etc.
There are 18,000 tickets available for the January shows. There is a small chance they may sell out in advance but only with lots of people buying speculatively to sell on E-bay and then finding out they can't get face value.
You simply do not need to buy tickets in advance for shows like this.
At Alexandra Palace last year, my two friends and I got our tickets for £10 each (face value £30). At G-MEX, my friend got his for half price and I got in for free;someone had a spare one and they wouldn't take any money. At his Festival Hall show in 2004 I got one from the box office on the evening of the concert.
Morrissey is simply not a hugely popular artist. He's got nothing like the fanbase of Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, McCartney, Coldplay etc. If he was playing one night in Camden, tickets might fetch £50-£100 but six means there will be more than enough for anyone who wants to go.
You will easily get tickets for the Camden concerts, and probably at half price (I've never had any hassles off touts; also get them off fans via message boards like this or Gumtree, obviously paying face value when buying off a fan).
BTW; I’m not a cheapskate; honest! Just too disorganised to buy in advance when I know I’ll easily get one nearer the time.
