Well, I decided to brave it out and will be attending the Oct. 4th, 2021 Dublin show.

Hours after purchasing my ticket I decided to "taunt" my brother with it... so he decided to tag along! Which is fair enough, given that he was the person who introduced me to Erasure in the first place.

Terrible seats for Birmingham (upper tier right at the back) standing tickets saying contact venue etc etc.
It happens everytime.

We tried getting Glasgow tixs at 2am our time and kept getting a no ticket found message. We went on this morning using our presale code and got great stall tickets. I think the site was cranky. There's always an issue no matter where you are in the world. Like they have one job, to sell tickets online. Hope you got them in the end!

It's quite precipitate in my situation to purchase tickets for this tour because of many reasons but I've never seen Erasure in concert and I know this is a great album and if I miss it.... I'll regret it forever. I think I prefer to lose some money instead of the chance to see them with this tour. If everything is in its way... Dublin, I'm in!!

You're not wrong. I fancied going to watch Erasure play in Copenhagen for a change. Processed by ticket and it was....£604! Seriously.

It is worth noting that prices in Copenhagen are given in DKK they work out slightly more expensive than the UK ones, but not by much.

There we are 2021 is here and we are in a worse position than we were at what we all thought to the height of the pandemic. I hope the vaccine will make this tour possible, it would be terrible to lose this light at the end of the tunnel. As there is quite a bit of time I hope Vince updates some of the older tracks. Sticking less to the original recordings seems to work better with the live vocals I think. Fingers crossed that all will be good by then. Stay safe!

Social distancing may well now continue until end of 2021 which means the tour is most likely to be re-scheduled for 2022.
Not the news we wanted but it looks like this is the most sensible thing to do.

Speaking of the tour... In today’s EIS newsletter, Richard mentioned that during yesterday’s Synthesizer Show, Vince let slip an old track that he was reprogramming for the tour. If you don’t wanna get through the entire show, I have the answer but for those who don’t like spoilers, stop reading now!!






The track is “Turns the Love to Anger”!!

I don't think that will be the case Pughie. Nearly every adult will have been vaccinated with both doses by September. Although there might be some mask wearing and caution, the chances of adults getting seriously ill by October will be tiny. The Pet Shop Boys tour in May might be a bit more problematic though!
