Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
Would love to go to Rockness, shame it's so far from London :-(
Anyway wife and I went to see Havana Rumba and Ida Barr at the Udderbelly last night. Really surprised and enjoyed both shows. Having been to Cuba before HR was a good little reminder of the music we enjoyed whilst out there and both the musicians and dancers were fantastic.
Ida Barr's show was kinda similar to a burlesque show (in fact one of the acts we had seen at a Burlesque night in Leeds before). Some really great acts especially Piff the Magic Dragon.
Would recommend both shows if you can get tickets for free, a great night. And, if you have a taste card, there is a pizza express 2 seconds away to grab a cheap dinner between shows.

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
Yeah it's a real shame about Rockness, there are some amazing artists in that line-up! But then, tickets are only for Friday and I assume the weekend ones to be the days with the "bigger" artists.

Fingers crossed for other festival tickets later in the summer, but with a couple more days heads up (so can book time off work!)

Oh ok! I didn't book any tickets as it's too far away for me at such short notice, but that's brilliant for those who can make itsarahjc78 wrote:This is written on the tickets, so I presume it is for the full weekend:-canadian_turtle wrote:Yeah it's a real shame about Rockness, there are some amazing artists in that line-up!

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
I received the email from SFF with the code but I can't actually book tickets as I get the invited guest list message (not that I am planning to go).

Not that it's any of my business, but if you're not planning to go, why are you trying to book tickets?funthing29 wrote:I received the email from SFF with the code but I can't actually book tickets as I get the invited guest list message (not that I am planning to go).

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
SFF has a tendency of sending out codes that are invited guest list only, so since I was 'invited', I was testing whether I could actually book from my VIP account.
