What the hell are you smoking? Have you not listened to the tracks released/played live so far? Not only that, his back catalogue is phenomenal.

Morrissey has never sold out an arena tour in the UK. In the last one he did, most venues were two thirds full, max, and from memory that only really included weekend dates. If further singles get a lot of airplay and the album does well, that will help shift tickets, but it is pretty unlikely (although not impossible) that he could sell out an arena tour of this scale.
In London he's playing the Ally Pally and Albert Hall which have a joint capacity of 15,000 - quite a bit less than the o2 Arena's 20,000.

Be patient. I understand that one will announced, possibly two!

Possibly two ! You're havin a 4kin laugh aren't you ?
He couldn't fill Brian Potter's Pheonix Club for two nights running never mind the arena.
Best thing he can do is drive a car with his dildo Nephew in the wrong direction up a one way street near the Christmas markets ! Apparently the M E N reports tonight that the markets are going to be protected by armed police, so fingers crossed they'll shoot them both and we'll all live happily ever after.

Now taking open bets to which concert dates will be cancelled.

I bet your left ball that he won't cancel. I'll bet your right ball that he will.

Any standing areas in these venues. Moz without the mosh pit is not a real Morrissey gig!

I understand why he does it, as it obviously grosses more money - but I really do hate these UK arena tours of recent years. Huge, soulless venues, terrible sound, and the stage miles away. I really miss the 'Quarry-Ringleader-Refusal' days, when he would still regularly play smaller, interesting venues on full-length UK tours. Will we ever see those heady days again?

Agreed. We need a mosh pit. Sitting down at a Morrissey gig is just awful.

All of them have standing areas.

The Pheonix Club is very flexible with seating arrangements. All standing is not a problem.
Seating is simply removed and stored in the Pennine Suite.

Other than that, in terms of the cities, they are really all much of a muchness. If you were more interested in a 'town's offerings', it might be wise just to ignore the UK, and fly into Dublin - the city is pretty great, and due to his Irish links, there's usually a pretty good atmosphere there.

If you think Newcastle is "much of a muchness" to the likes of Leeds and Birmingham you've either not been to the 'Toon' ever or spent so little time there you have not been able to form a proper impression.

Get a hotel early if you plan to come to Newcastle for the gig. That's not because of the Moz show, it's Friday night and it's stag and hen party central. Even in the dead of winter the bars and clubs are open all night. Come, the locals are friendly, not up themselves at all. Everyone welcomed.
....
"Much of a muchness"...........not likely.

Who mentioned the Arena? I didn't. He isn't planning on playing Manchester Arena. He's looking at two possible venues. May play one, none, or both.

Which venues is he looking at then. if not the Arena? I can only think The Apollo would be the next likely one.

He doesn’t know. He’s just guessing, you know, pretending to be in the know.

Sorry that should be - what is right with B the B ?

I'm in the SW as well, still weighing up my options as to which tickets I should buy. Are these the only absolute dates he is doing?

Yes but with that massive gap between crowd and stage. I hate these arena shows, too corporate. Get back to Hammy Apollo or Brixton.

I can see shows being cancelled, and the curtain being pulled back on others. Then the blame game will start. As it always has.

I dunno. Think the publicity this time round may help. Plus the fact a lot of dates are on a weekend night. However touring in February and March - well manflu is very common around then.
