It would be good to get official confirmation as to whether it is a substantial 'full' set (45 mins minimum, hopefully more) by The Cross, or if it is just a couple of songs in the middle of a usual SAS Band gig with other artists. I would like to think that they wouldn't sell the tickets on the back of a 'The Cross Reunion' if it is only a cameo. I have asked Spike the question on his FB announcement so I hope they will disclose this - ideally maybe a first half of the show with the usual guests etc... and then a second half with The Cross?

Would they really go to the effort of getting everybody together, especially Roger who SHOULD have both a solo album and Queen business to deal with this December, for a few songs? I hope it will be a full set, I also would think twice if it was anything less than 45 minutes.
Think i'll take my Blue Rock vinyl along, see if I can get it signed.

Think about it this way...
The band consists of:
- one guy who arranges these annual shows
- one semi-retired millionaire who's desperate to play live with practically anyone (and possibly has a new album to flog)
- one guy who get's charity work from the aforementioned millionaire
- the two other guys who's only contact with music is listening to the radio in the corner pub
Don't get me wrong. I'd really like it if there was a full show, and I would love it if there was a box set with all the rarities, BUT the odds are overwhelmingly in favour of this performance being nothing more than a ploy to sell more tickets.
I hope he just plays Nazis and leaves the stage.
the most interesting news since paul rodgers
I hope they film it and includes it in the inevitable RT/Cross Best Of (which he has sort of mentioned was in the works...)

Anyone knows how to buy a ticket outside UK by Paypal for example?
And of course, I would love if it is a The Cross show, not SAS with The Cross cameo...

Reportedly the Cross were playing a 45 minute set within the show...
Got a ticket, yay!!! Anyone else from here going?
Yep I am going. Took me and a friend all day to get through but I got one, they had sold out unless you are in the fanclub by 5.30.
I assume that's just the SAS band allocation to sell themselves though and the venue will have more.
