Mary, I'm very very glad you lot got them, because I was just thinking, however much I might have wanted to go, I'm sure you wanted to go a million times more, and that if you didn't get them I might feel to guilty and have to sell you mine. Lol (cost plus postage of course! lol)
But then I read the wristband thing and I knew it wasn't possible lol - so then I was worried!

Tis gonna be amazing!!!!

Jaidi, you do know that at the first sign of criticism I'm gonna staple your tongue, don't you? ;)

I'll be a good girl...so long as he doesn't behave like an egotistical knob-end that is.

Humm.
So I have to rely on Robbie having no ego before I can expect you to behave.

Can I still take someone else?


(only joking!)

Yeh, you might have a problem there Jaidi

ROBBIE WILLIAMS TICKET STAMPEDE

Robbie Williams' concert organisers have urged eBay to remove ticket listings for his show next month.

Tickets for the 'Bodies' star's long-awaited comeback concert in London on October 20 - held as part of the BBC Electric Proms series - sold out within minutes yesterday (23.09.09), and despite a string of anti-touting measures in place, tickets were listed online at more than 20 times their original price within hours.

Two tickets which cost a total of £50 face value were being auctioned at £1,400.

A BBC Electric Proms spokesperson told BANG Showbiz: "There are a number of measures already in place to deter ticket touting at the BBC Electric Proms. The Robbie Williams show will be wristbanded only, and no tickets will be sent out in advance of the performance. Ticket purchasers will need to collect their wristband at the venue box office but must bring the credit card they used to pay for the tickets to prove that you are the original purchaser.

"Once this has been proved, the wristband will be attached to the ticket purchaser's wrist at the box office on the day of the performance and removal of it will result in it being unusable.

"This system was made clear to purchasers at point of purchase, however, we have also contacted eBay to ensure they are aware of these security procedures and to remind them that these tickets should not be re-sold. There are also requests on the BBC Electric Proms website urging people not to buy from unauthorised sources as these tickets will not be honoured."

Despite the warnings, auction site eBay insists it will continue to allow the tickets to be sold at fans' own risk.

An eBay spokesperson said: "The promise of Robbie Williams' first UK performance in over three years has unsurprisingly led to a stampede of fans looking to buy tickets to his 'sold-out' gig on secondary ticket sites, including eBay.

"While we believe that people should have the right to resell legitimate tickets to concerts we strongly encourage our sellers to clearly notify buyers of any restrictions that may be in place. We would also recommend buyers pay for their tickets with PayPal so that they are covered for the full amount of their purchase on the rare occasion anything goes wrong."

A message on Robbie's official website has warned fans not to buy tickets from third-party sellers or risk being turned away from the venue.

Details about the "worldwide live comeback" revealed... it has found its way into the German press this morning already!!!

Robbie Williams makes live comeback - 4/10/2009

Robbie Williams is to tour the world with just one show. His live comeback will be screened in cinemas globally, it has been announced. The star, who has talked of his reluctance to head out on the road due to stage fright, will be seen live in almost 200 cinemas in 23 countries.

The concert - to be filmed later this month at the BBC's Electric Proms shows in London - will be seen simultaneously in locations such as Latvia and Spain, with later screenings in Australia and South Africa.

The sell-out gig - Robbie's first major show since 2006 - will see him previewing songs from his new album Reality Killed The Video Star on October 20. Tickets will go on sale on October 9 with details at www.robbiewilliams.com.

Williams's virtual tour is due to a deal between BBC Worldwide, the corporation's commercial wing, and BY Experience, which has pioneered such cinema events. For his epic Close Encounters tour in 2006, the singer set a record by selling 1.6 million tickets in a single day.

Screenings of the show take place in Australia on November 6 and in South Africa on November 13. The HD screening is expected to be the largest live music cinematic event of its kind in Europe.

Williams said: "It's very exciting to think that a one-off performance I play in London can now be seen simultaneously by people all across the world".
