![]() Typically they will be sent out a couple of weeks before the show, so if you are going to one of the late September gigs they may not have been sent yet. You should get an email telling you when they have been sent, and then the tickets should arrive a day or two later. |

Good on her.... I can worry a little less now about some twonk in front wafting an iPad or phone about.
I wouldn`t be surprised to see it up on YouTube within an hour of it finishing. Her sensitivity about her weight and the subsequent inevitable DVD/Blu-Ray release is why she doesn`t want thousands of other versions floating around. |

People seem totally incapabale of experiencing something special without some pathalogical need to document the event. I find that sad, personally.
Hopefully, Kate's audience are, by definition, smarter and more receptive to her request. |

I got my tickets at the weekend for one of the late September shows, my friend got his just a few days earlier for the first set of shows. I didn't get an email saying they had been despatched, but an email saying they are due to be sent shortly was sent last week. not sent as signed for mail, which is crazy considering they are listed on reselling sites for £300-£1000+ for a single ticket
regardless of what she says about videos and photos, there will be people recording and it'll be online not long after the show. the good thing is all the idiots who wave iphones about throughout the show won't be able to do it I wonder if they will release a bluray/dvd though |

Ah, sweet - You think it`ll be an iPhone/iPad free gig?

Her sensitivity about her weight and the subsequent inevitable DVD/Blu-Ray release is why she doesn`t want thousands of other versions floating around. Whilst I'm sure that some will ignore the request at least we can hope that most heed it so at least we're not swamped by a sea of plastic. How do you know Kate is sensitive about her weight? I imagine she's quite comfortable in her own skin and she looked perfectly fine when she rocked up at the palace and the last award show..... I wouldn't listen to the tabloids. Your probably right about there being ropey footage on YouTube before long but seriously doubt that will adversely damage the sale of any DVD that May or may not appear. If your going..... Enjoy the show

I'll be avoiding any site that couild possibly have any footage, set lists, etc, like the plague before I see her next month as I don't want it to be spoilt. |

Or could it simply be she doesn't want the some ropey footasge appearing that spoils the show for someone going who inadvertantly sees the footage?

I can`t recall a gig I`ve been to in the last few years where there hasn`t been a field of phones in the air. The fact that this is her first tour in decades will only increase the desire for those shelling out decent money to get the most lasting bang for their buck. I would imagine the gig will be punctuated by Kate asking several times for phones to be pocketed.
of course if someone is discreet they may get away with it, and audio recording by stealth can be done discreetly Quote:
I`m guessing a burka wasnt` an option? ![]() Someone will capture it in a semi-pro fashion or better and there`ll be DVDs on EBay within a day at most. Add to that the inevitable widely dispersed audio recordings as well and I will be interested to see what the eventual sales are for the official live releases. Quote:
If she really cared that much about the fans perhaps this wouldn`t be her second only "tour" (residency really) in her career and perhaps she`d schedule more gigs and do those outside of London as well? |

Why are you even on this thread, you don't sound like someone who 'appreciates' Kate at all.
FYI, I used to know a close friend of hers and he had nothing but good things to say about her either so I`ve no grudge against her, just the opposite in fact. Quote:
She wants people to immerse themselves and be completely engaged in her show.

I've been to a lot of gigs this year and in the past where no photos or recording was allowed, and it was both the artists security from the stage and back of venue and the venue security who kept an eye out for people and stopped them from using cameraphones for example.

On the contrary. Hounds of Love is one of the finest albums of all time. She rarely puts a foot wrong which is why asking people who`ve waited decades to see her and shelled out hundreds, to not film some/all of it on their phones is so out of step with the times.
FYI, I used to know a close friend of hers and he had nothing but good things to say about her either so I`ve no grudge against her, just the opposite in fact. And you`re perfectly free to believe that`s the reason. I thought this was her simply requesting the audience not to use phones rather than a venue stipulation? If it`s the former than I stand by my comments - It`s hopelessly naive in this day and age. You seem to be the font of all knowledge concerning Kate! Why so cynical and why the earlier dig at her weight? |

![]() Inadvertantly stumbling across footage of her show would spoil it for many going to one of the future shows and I can see her view if that is the case. I have also been to many gigs where mobile phones have been banned, so she might take that action, I don't know. |

I am now going on something of a media blackout so as to avoid spoilers. I want to go into the Apollo as clueless as possible. Literally the only thing I want to know is the setlist so I'm not distracted during the gig wondering what songs she'll be performing.
Can't wait for the BBC4 documentary tomorrow. I wish they had given us a Kate Bush Night but I'm grateful for what they are doing all the same. |

Surely you`re not pretending I`m the first person to comment on her weight? It`s mentioned everywhere. You`re way too touchy in here about anything that`s not just unadulterated praise.. |

I absolutely LOVE the fact that Kate has asked people not to film or take pictures. Nothing worse than paying a whack of money to see an artist I love and then not being able to see them properly because of all the vapid idiots who can't live without their phones and feel conditioned to share everything on social media.
I hope more and more performers make similiar statements. It won't actually stop people as we are in the grip of the MEMEME generation - as those who are objecting to Kate's perfectly polite and reasonable request show - but it's a gesture very much appreciated by dinosaurs like me. I find it very tragic that people can't truly live in the moment anymore, and how mainstream media encourage this kind of disconnect from the real world around you. Can you ever have a magical experience if you are looking at it "second hand" through a lens or are waving your phone around in the air the whole time? I don't see how you possibly can. I have no idea why people would pay to see an artist they claim to like and then spend the whole time distracted by their gadgets, talking loudly with their mates, etc. It's behaviour I simply am incapable of understanding. |

Not all KB fans managed to get tickets, so what are we supposed to do for a fix of Kate apart from a bit of shakycam footage on YouTube?

Like I said, people won't actually take any notice of Kate's request for the most part so you'll be fine. Personally even if I couldn't go I wouldn't want to rely on crappy mobile phone footage. Have never understood why people watch those videos when you can rarely see anything and the sound is abysmal, often outright unlistenable. |

The Guardian have a new article about Kate online. I've not read it yet, but I am loving how the momentum is really building up now. You can feel it in the air that so many people are truly excited about Before the Dawn.
