Re: 2022 UK dates
Ticket sales look particularly poor for Manchester and Leeds. I was going to take my teenage son to Birmingham where sales look better but can no longer make that night. Manchester is an alternative but I'm thinking it's going to detract from the occasion if it's barely 1/4 full. I'm guessing the number of tickets sold but there are still loads of floor seats left for sale and some blocks on 1st tier (e.g. block 110) have virtually no seasts sold - needless to say the upper/2nd tier will just be blanked off.

Re: 2022 UK dates
seems ticke sales have been strong on the last few tours in the UK?
perhaps people are on the fence, and many will buy on the actual day of the gig?
many bands still cancel/postpone things in the post-covid world, which make buying tickets months in advance risky business indeed

Re: 2022 UK dates
I think a lot of us die hards and quite a few casual fans thought the last UK tour would be the last chance to see the band.
Manchester was pretty well packed the last time and the show went down well.
I don't think I will go because the set list is one of those in between albums set lists, i.e. not enough new material, one or two rarer tracks and the same bloody encore!

Re: 2022 UK dates
Great night in Manchester with good sound as always there. Setlist fatigue remains high though. We've been saying this for years but it's time for a major overhaul.
Gillan continues to diminish as expected but still a great singer in my eyes. Bringing Blind Man back into the set is a good choice as he is still OK on that.
I do question why there is so little change in the setlist but then again Smoke, Black Night and Hush are probably easier on the voice. Gillan is now starting to struggle even on smoke though. It's time to ditch these back-to-back nights, the Stone stopped that 20 years ago and have gone to 3-4 day gaps between shows now. Maybe it will help but maybe it won't.
