From the Dingwalls website

“This show is sold out. There are 30 standing tickets available on the door on the night.”

So the rabid ticketless fans out there have still got a final chance… or there might be touts on the night (yuck) of course.

Sold out.

Shurely once you’re in England you can stay for another gig… maybe a tour…

Believe it or not, in the short 8 or 9 days this has been on sale, we expect it to sell out very soon. If you haven’t got your tickets, do it now. Next time; Shepherd’s Bush here we come!

Is it to much to travel from Oslo to London just for a concert? Of course not, not when it’s JC! If you think me wrong, you can tell it to my face at Dingwalls

After a bit of quick evangelism I’ve ordered a few tickets and will be there with some new converts from the Midlands! I’m geeking out tremendously.

Wow - I can’t believe it!!! I never thought you’d make it over here!
Just bought my tickets - can’t wait!

Yes! Yes! Thank god!

JoCos in England!

See you there hopefully!

I have a headache now

I’ve got my ticket now! Also got at least one friend to buy a ticket - Hoping to get a fair sized Bristol contingent along!

By: Seils

Seils — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:12:58 +0000

Yeah, I dont doubt he’d be back. But I’m still going to try and make it down.

By: AJS

AJS — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:55:43 +0000

Seils:

We can promise you that JoCo will return to the UK, probably by the end of the year. A Glasgow date would be in order. This show in London has already sold 180 tickets, and is looking like a sell-out. We’re only slightly shocked!

By: Seils

Seils — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:50:31 +0000

I currently have no money, and I dont start my new job until a week after the gig…but I’m currently working on a plan to beg, borrow and steal my way down to Camden from Glasgow. Can’t let this slip past.

By: Griffin

ts the Camden Inn, I am personally astounded that how cheep youth hostels are. I Think that i should travel more.

By: Iain

Iain — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:36:28 +0000

Hooray! JoCo in London! Just got my tickets for me and my wife - who I’ve converted to Coulton! (Does that make her a Coulvert?)

Despite subscribing to JoCo’s RSS feed and putting my name down on Eventful, the way I actually found out about the London gig was on the blog for the London Eastercon Sci-Fi event happening that weekend - so we’re going to see JoCo, Neil Gaiman, Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross in one weekend - OMG I’m geeking out…

By: Angelastic

Angelastic — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 08:25:14 +0000

Ooh, what’s the name of the one just up the road? I haven’t looked for a hotel yet, this would save me some time.

By: Griffin

Griffin — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 22:56:40 +0000

Yay have tickets and hotel (theres one just up the road if anyones stuck)

I’ll be unimaginative, and take someone’s idea to sign my copy of “The Orange Box”, or a PG Tips monkey…

By: Frederick Heath-Renn

Frederick Heath-Renn — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:20:49 +0000

Good idea Angelastic! We could be called the FauxJoCos.

(Now, let me think of something appropriate to get signed. I suppose a half-monkey-half-pony monster would be a good start.)

By: Jon Who

Jon Who — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:48:33 +0000

That’s a little more demanding than a song a week, though much more impressive if he succeeded (only if they were good songs on average). And I thought the whole point of him being an internet superstar was that he didn’t have to work in a cubicle any more…

By: Angelastic

Angelastic — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:38:57 +0000

Gingerlink, don’t suggest such things… He’s already saying, ‘You guys will all be able to replace me in no time.’ Next thing you know we’ll be paying for concerts where he won’t even show up. BYOJoCo.

It would still be cool though. Hey, if he’s not going to do a European tour, let’s do one for him. There could be many different real and fake JoCos (let’s call them ‘tribute bands’, it sounds better) giving concerts in parallel. We could lock the real one in a cubicle and get him to write a song a day.

Only if I can sing along!

By: Jon Who

Jon Who — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 16:02:15 +0000

12 hour soft rocking would take us through the evening which we are all dreading. Whilst I get the sneaking suspicion it was a joke, it is still a good idea…

By: Jon Who

Jon Who — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 13:40:07 +0000

That’s a tiny bit creepy, but well thought out Angelastic.

By: Gingerlink

Gingerlink — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 13:21:09 +0000

I could be a special geust!

I can…umm…well…no wait, scratch that. Booked tickets though

I know, maybe JoCo could ask people to bring guitars and while he’s having his break, have other people attempt to play his songs, adding a bit of comic amusement into the break.

By: Angelastic

Angelastic — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:57:30 +0000

YES! After one website and two travel agencies had the same technical problem reserving my train tickets, I finally managed to reserve some! It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction.

See you on the 20th!

And believe me I will see you live. I feel fantastic and I’ll see you live. And when you’re dead I will have seen you live. Seen you live!

By: Bob

Bob — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:27:13 +0000

JoCo, you should consider coming up to Manchester whilst you are in the UK. Come see some of the real country instead of all that Metro bollocks.

By: MarkHB

MarkHB — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:20:30 +0000

Ticket Get! Huzzah!

Now to spaff the news to all my chums - having successfully secured my own tickets first. Bwahhahahaa…

If they had a support group that really sucked, then we’d think JoCo was MUCH better than he might have been had he just performed by himself. And that would make someone’s head explode, I’m sure…

By: Paul Cosgrove

Paul Cosgrove — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 08:35:09 +0000

It’s entirely possible that the venue will drag in some local teenage dirge to perform in front of JoCo and that’s the “Special Guests” - I went to see Bad Religion in Dublin twice, and both times the support act were (relatively) unknown groups who couldn’t possibly have been known by the headline band.

By: Dan Plus Add

Dan Plus Add — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 07:54:44 +0000

Wootage! I think “special guests” implies that they expect you to have a support act. You know, unless you want to just perform longer than the average musician… which would be cool!

schlepping* , according to http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/schlep

By: Roman V

Also, for everyone going to show, you better grab like 2-5 people (not literally) and bring them with you. Show Coulton that shlepping across the ocean was worth it. Liek seriously.

By: Roman V

@ chris - actually 15 british pounds is about 30 dollars US.

Also, i think the age all depends on whether he plays First of May or not

Have fun in England. I really hope you are doing a few shows in a few places, just so it’s not like you know you travel and such, do a show, then leave. While there, at least hang out, or do moar shows?

Hopefully there will be some of you willing to tape and share some of the overseas crowd on youtube. OR even Ustream.tv the show?????? Anyone???

If I had a place anywhere near Camden I’d definitely open my doors and floors to fellow JoCo fans. Unfortunately I’ve just moved down south and will be looking for a sofa (or all night pub/club) myself that night. So excited!!

By: juco

juco — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:48:36 +0000

You’re following us to London! Or maybe it’s the other way around. Anyway, we’ll totally see you there. Hopefully we can bring some folks from MOO along with us.

For those worrying about a hotel - it’s in Camden, I’m sure we can find somewhere to spend the night clubbing away, then get the first train home in the morning. That’s my provisional plan, if the show ends too late (my last train is far too early).

By: Thomas Askew

Thomas Askew — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:16:04 +0000

woo, ticket and train booked, I’m there, (I’m thinking of getting a lab coat and going as a mad scientist à la skullcrusher mountain/the future soon)
