It's also bad style that they never say how many tickets are actually allocated to fans in this lottery.
There is approx 4000, this was posted on another forum.

Also on this one! AND that they had about 8000 entries... But that might not be the same amount as that there will be 'allocsated to fans'...

Cliffhowell, if the number of 4000 tickets is an official announcement, that makes me think.
Under "live concert" you find the following on the Brixton Academy website.
"Due to the recent refurbishments The Academy now has a capacity of 4921"
This means that 900 tickets, roughly 1 out of 5, are not allocated to the fans. The question remains if these are sold to non-fans or if every 5th ticket is a freebie...

Yeah, basically the post on the other forum confirmed the other tickets are freebie's to the press, the band, promotor, etc, etc.

Well, if that is true, it's quite an act of hypocrisy to announce a concert "for the fans only" and make it look like a generous gift when in fact the most faithful fans are paying for the free rides of the band guests with overpriced tickets.

I have just got an email from the fc stating that I haven't won in the lottery BUT there are lots of worldwide winners who may not take there tickets so still have a chance in the second draw which is based on where your named was drawn in the first round!?!
Another long wait in store.
Will be glad when Brixton is over and done with! Why didn't they play Hammersmith with it's bigger capacity and let everyone go who wanted to?
More pissed off than disapointed!

Well, I already got mine (through QOL), but I was wondering if there are any updates on this by now??
Cause I know how I felt before I got confirmation about the tickets! I felt I'd die of nervousness!...
Sure, but they've been saying that for three weeks now! :-S

Patience is a virtue...heh! I'll be glad when all this lottery business is done and dusted.!! It's becoming a pain in the ass and hasn't been
well received by most people!! I've heard nothing but aren't particularly bothered. Congrats to the winners and tough shit to the losers!! I won't loose sleep over it. I bet some fans are pleased they've got tickets for other gigs in case they don't win!
