Robbie Update!
For all of you like me who have tickets to the wemebly shows are still wondering where and when they are gonna be fear not apparently according to Robbie's offical website they will be letting us know within the next 2 weeks!!
I still think this is pretty bad going it seems to be taking like forever for anything to be decided! |

Thanks goo to know. It has taken them a ridiculous amount of time to let us know. They can't have had that many options - change venue, postpone...
I assume they'll accept refunds if we can't make new venue and/or date ? |

The website says that the dates will be the same and the tickets will still be valid.
As for location ?? Twickenham was my choice but some people have said Twickenham is out as they're only allowed to host 3 concerts a year. I hope it's not Milton keynes or Knebworth as there's no seating.(paid for top price seated tickets) I doubt if it will be Cardiff as there will be mass refunds because of the distance. Doesn't leave much else in the London area. How about Arsenal's new ground ?? 60000 seater stadium. Does anyone think that Robbies people didn't have a plan B for this ? When it was announced about Wembley Bon Jovi, Take That & Rolling Stones immediately announced alternative venues. |

I think the gig is definately going to be towards the south of the country...
I think they will give Milton Keynes a wide berth as there is no seating at the venue , and considering that a portion of the wembley tickets were supposed to be "premium seating" this would cause a major headache to the organisers and also result in a lot of unhappy fans. Also milton keynes is an open air venue and the weather is not the greatest in september . so thats another factor. As for the arsenal stadium, thats never going to happen.. Twickenham is a possibility but again outdoor, no option of a roof incase of bad weather, My feeling is its going to cardiff Milennium stadium, they have a free calendar for the whole of septmber, plus it holds 72,000 seated , so they must be able to accomodate more than that with standing aswell. Plus they have a roof.. |

Remember that it was always going to be an open air concert as Wembley stadium doesn't have a roof.
Only specualting about Arsenal as that's the only other stadium big enough in london after Wembley and Twickenham. There may also be a problem with Emirites that the football season will have started at the time of the concert. I wonder if they're trying to get the rules changed for Twickenham hence the delays ?? |

If it is moved to a general admission venue
(e.g. MK Bowl) it is a bit unfair on fans like me who joined Inner Sanctum especially and wasted half a day trying to get good tickets after the website crashed. GA tickets would be easy to get anyway without needing to bother joining IS for £25. I would want a refund. The only possible thing they could do is create a larger sectioned off area in the front half of the venue similar to golden circle but bigger (if it is MK Bowl), and allow those with premium tickets/ Inner Sanctum tickets to go in this area, then others behind. But it still would cause a lot of fuss. |

I joined inner sanctum for 2 reasons, 1 in order to be kept informed with the tour when it was announced and 2 to ensure that i was able to get the best tickets that i could afford. I am very unhappy that i have effectivly been forced to pay more for what is now standing only general admission tickets than those who did not buy the general admission tickets during the inner-sanctum. I understand that the re-location is necessary due to the situation with wembley stadium, and that you cannot be held responsible for the new venue not being a seated venue, however you can be held responsible for the fact that: 1. you have not offered customers a refund of the difference between the charge for these seated general admission tickets that we purchased, and the purchase price of the standing general tickets (as effectivly we have paid more for the exact same tickets now) and 2. that you have not included those who paid for these tickets to the "inner circle" at the venue. so those of use who registered to make sure that we had the best chance of buying tickets, may as well not have bothered, especially considering it took me an entire day to obtain the tickets due to an ineffective website which crashed routinely. i look forward to hearing your (non automated) response |

Well I've already decided I'm not going to Milton Keynes and stand for hours miles from the stage in the open. Septemeber doesn't always have the best weather either.
Feel pretty let down by the organisers. |

Disappointed!
We are not happy at all. Have emailed Inner Sanctum this morning as I sat all day trying to get tickets for Robbie through the Inner Sanctum and got General Admission South Stand. I have sked them how far we are going to be back and whether it will be a first come first served basis and if this is the case you will have to get there hours before. Are we all going to get crushed- has anyone else been there before? because I was going to take my 10 year old daughter to Wembley as I felt it was fairly safe from this happening as it is seating. I am considerig whether to get a refund particularly if it rains and we are miles back. I am really annoyed about it all. I feel the communication from them has been really bad I heard it on Severn Sound Radio before I got my email from the Inner Sanctum - what are we paying £25 for. Also Robbie was on the Parkinson show a few months ago and the Inner Sanctum didnt notify us - I emailed them about this and they said they hadn't had time! Really annoyed Rebecca

In other words, they had to draw the line somewhere and were not going to be able to please everyone. It's unfortunate, but I do feel that the management at Wembley are as much to blame with letting us down as Rob's are. They should have admitted that they were having problems earlier - I'm wondering if the section of roof that fell and nearly killed a couple of workers was what it took to finally come clean that it was far from ready?? On the plus side, as an alternative venue, Milton Keynes is very good. I've been there several times and always managed to find a good place to stand and get a good view. I'm not sure on the numbers attending, but it shouldn't be as crowded as Knebworth was. Yes, there's a chance of rain, but that is a risk for any outdoor show in this country and Rob being Rob, he'll make up for that anyway!!

I'm unhappy because now we cant go, the main reason we bought tickets is because my hubby has sciatica and cant stand for long periods, as it in the MK bowl he has said he wont be able to stand. I think its appaling that they wont have ANY seating, he paid £350.00 for those tickets off ebay , lets hope the seller gives him a FULL refund
