The thing that concerned me the most lutewhine were tickets not being available at 9am, so basically the tickets went out the door and it was sold out probably before the ad went up in the NME. This has never happened before for any of Morrisseys gigs, as even a small number of tickets have always been available. A concert has never been sold out before the official sale time.
Mispractice of the highest degree, but it wont change mate as it's who you know in the world, not what you know. All i can be glad about is that someone big is looking into it and hopefully something can be sorted for next friday. If not, then at least we tried. At the end of the day, it isn't sanctuarys fault, but at least they can inform the agencies of their problems with what happened and maybe take their business elsewhere for other artists if it happens again.
