that is the two of you who make up his fan club?
I dont know anyone who thinks he is funny.

Well he holds a world record for the most tickets ever sold for a stand up comedy tour, numbers/facts can't be wrong.

Doesn’t make sense when they haven’t gone on general release yet!

[Alorotom]

Is there any left for general sale though?!

[TR4man]

Got four tickets for Birmingham next July - already excited to see him!

Some don't go on sale until Saturday 12th Nov, but some folk can get early access to the pre sale release. Not sure why they offer this, but my wife's employer offers it for certain events, which is how we got our tickets on Thursday 10th. Seems a bit crazy to have general release, but then also offer a cheeky pre release a few days before but only for certain people!!

That’s the way of the world now for this kind of stuff. I hate getting involved with Ticketmaster back from the days when we used to try and get my daughter tickets for pop concerts.

I have no early access so I’m waiting to have a try with the general release in 10 mins. I like the YouTube clips I’ve seen of his previous tours and I’m a real fan of all his TV stuff. I’m not sure what 90 mins or whatever he does of stand up will be like so I’m not willing to pay fortunes.

My son got five tickets for Manchester next month.

Being on the phone provider EE got him early access I think.

It was amusing there was a news article about the tour announcement the other day, interviewing people in the street - most of whom said "oh I like Peter Kay, I like the joke he did about garlic bread". I imagine them all going along and heckling "DO THE GARLIC BREAD JOKE!"

[DoctorX]

Only 123000 people in the queue ahead of me for tickets

[Puzzles]

170,000 for me. Wonder how many will buy 10tickets.

[Silverage]

There’s 14,031 in front of me. This is for the Capital One Arena in Nottingham, which only holds 10,000 apparently, so I could be struggling here.

[andymc]

got mine, paid a bit extra for the concert goer tickets

[Puzzles]

Pretty sure will be sold out by the time I get there

[Silverage]

With over 12,000 in front of me still mine is saying availability is now “extremely limited”. Not looking promising.

Apparently there are tickets being offered on Twitter already. Bandits.

Yep it’s so annoying, they should be nontransferable.

[Silverage]

It doesn’t help that they let you buy up to 10 at a time.

I think I’m about ready to give up on this and go and do something productive.

[Puzzles]

Yeah I’m getting close, I tried a few other dates and venues and it’s not looking good.

Youre spot on. Why sell 10 tickets!? Stupid.

[Silverage]

My queue is dropping in 100s chunks every minute or so. Looks like it’s sold out and they’re just bayonetting the survivors.

[TomTheTyke]

I can't fathom why they don't just run a ballot for stuff like this and remove all the stress. Everyone who's interested signs up and they draw names out of a hat. They do it for the cricket.

My only thought is that it creates a 'buzz,' but PK will sell out anyway.

(Said with 40,000 people in the 'queue' before me)
