Latest news on ticket availability

[HWI]

I have checked the ticket availability for all eight venues in Hayley's UK tour 2004.

The following is how things stood at 3pm, 9th January.

1) Derngate Theatre, Northampton. Saturday 20th March. The number of tickets left for this venue was 93 at the time I was speaking to them. So, if you want to attend this concert, you will need to order your tickets very quickly! The box office telephone number is - 01604 624811

2) North Wales Theatre, Llandudno. Sunday 21st March. There are now about 300 tickets left for this venue and sales are going well. So, if you want to attend this concert, there is no time to lose as they expect to sell out very soon. The box office telephone number is - 01492 872000

3) Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. Wednesday 24th March. At the moment, there is no problem over availability of tickets. However, the sales are now picking up and they could very soon be in short supply. The box offic telephone number is - 0161 907 9000

4) St. George's Hall, Bradford. Thursday 25th March. At the moment, there is no problem over availability of tickets. However, sales are now picking up so much that a warning has been given that they are selling quickly. The box office telephone number is - 01274 432000

5) St. David's Hall, Cardiff. Sunday 28th March. Tickets for this concert are selling rapidly. There are, however, still some tickets available. The advice here is that, again, if you wish to go to this concert, it would be advisable to order your tickets as soon as possible. The box office telephone number is - 0292 087 8444

6) The Palladium, London. Monday 29th March. There are still plenty of tickets available for this concert. But, once again, the warning is that ticket sales are beginning to accelerate. If you want to be sure of a good seat, there is no time to lose in ordering your ticket(s). The box office telephone number is - 0207 494 5020

7) Congress Theatre, Eastbourne. Wednesday 31st March. There are still plenty of tickets available for this concert. But, as with the other venues, they are experiencing increasing ticket sales. So, as with the advice above, to be sure of a good seat, you will need to order your tickets very quickly. The box office telephone number is - 01323 412000

8) The Pavillion, Bournemouth. Thursday 1st April. There are still plenty of tickets available for this concert. But, yet again, they are experiencing increasing tiket sales. Remember, this is the last concert in Hayley's spring tour. So, if you miss this one, you miss out entirely. therefore, the advice is the same as above. If you want to be sure of a good seat, you will need to order your tickets very quickly. The box office telephone number is - 0870 111 3000

Alternatively, if you wish to purchase your tickets on-line, you can do so by visiting the concerts page at Hayley Westenra International and clicking on the ticket information link to the right of the list of UK dates. So, don't delay - do it today.

Well it only took you a day to sell those 93 tickets at the Derngate, Keith!

aloud.com and the wayahead.com are both showing "sold out" now. With two months and ten days to go

I wonder if if that's just the agents who sold out and if there are any left at the theatre itself? Hmmm...

[Dave]

All the online ticket sellers mentioned on the Concerts page are now reporting "Sold Out" for all Hayley's UK tour venues except The London Palladium (the biggest). Some of the ticketseller pages don't initially say "sold out" ... until you try to order! Phoning the Box Offices direct for odd singles and cancellations seems to be the only remaining option outside London.

At The London Palladium, the tickets currently being offered (by all sellers) are at the back of the Royal Circle. Stalls tickets were until recently being offered but this is no longer the case.

With Hayley's tour due to start only ONE WEEK from today i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif and the recent news that Libera will be supporting Hayley in London and Eastbourne, I think the few remaining seats will soon be snapped up.

Keith,

Out of curiosity, do you know roughly the seating capacity of these various venues? I know the London Palladium is huge, but some of these other sites sound like they may be rather modest. I worry about the wisdom of requiring Hayley to perform so frequently if the audiences are small. It would seem wiser to batch them into bigger venues. Not the best option for the audience, certainly, but better for managing the risks of voice strain and exhaustion.

[HWI]

You got me going a bit there, Dan. I've got this information somewhere. I know, I've used it before. But, when you need it, it isn't around.

So, I have gone through the list and checked it all again. Here are the seating capacities for the eight venues in hayley's UK tour. Some of the seating capacities may have been rounded for ease of expression (that would only add or subtract about 12 seats at the most):

1) Derngate Theatre, Northampton - 1500
2) North Wales Theatre, Llandudno - 1500
3) Bridgewater Hall, Manchester - 1875
4) St Georges Hall, b*adford - 2200
5) St Davids Hall, Cardiff - 2000
6) The Palladium, London - 2250
7) Congress Theatre, Eastbourne - 1700
8) The Pavillion, Bournemouth - 1500

Hope that helps.

Keith.

The NY concert at Joe's Pub (24 June) will be an especially hot ticket -- the room seats only 150!

I went to the Pub's box office today (Saturday) and the staff there knew nothing about the event even though it had been announced on their website the previous day. They were not selling tickets to the concert. My suspicion is that the powers that be would rather market this event online.

But realistically, by the time all the bigwigs from Universal/Decca secure their blocks of tickets (if they haven't already) there will be precious few to go around.
