London, England, show (11 June 2012)

You can always buy a pair, then sell them later once other dates are released... Won't be a hard sell, this show will sell out easily.

I suppose that is an idea yeah I might do that. Thanks. I'm still a bit wary that this goes on sale on Friday yet there is no official confirmation of this show by the band on their website, facebook or twitter etc? Surely they would announce this before tickets went on sale?

maybe they wanna keep it low key, just for hardcore, camping-outside-the-venue fans i don't know, it sounds weird to me too... either way, your best bet would be to do what rkirkpatrick25 said - you can just resell the tickets at face value if you finally decide not to go.

Okay there is confirmation on NME.com of this gig now so at least I know it's legit! I'll have to speak to my mate and see what he says but I think I will buy the tickets and then sell them if any closer dates are announced. Does anyone happen to know any cheap places to stay near the venue as I've never been to London before?

the camden lock hotel is pretty cheap and pretty close, a few stations away! (it's in chalk farm)

Thanks plugga will check that out.

how's that area at night? is it 'walkable'? or better avoid roaming the streets after the show?

i've been near there to see brand new, seemed cool to me!

i wanna go!!

Just thought I would say to people don't worry if your not on O2 for presage, I promote for O2 and know only. Limited amount of tickets are given for presale so there will be plenty left
I live in Birmingham, pretty gutted no more dates have been announced as London is do difficult to get too! With congestion charges, parking or trains and hotels! But obviously I will be there!

Looking into hostels as we speak! Really want to make this happen!

Im there guys ! I still don't know anybody in London who would like to go to the show so the camping idea sounds great hahaha. I could be able to lend my couch if someone needs it (long conversation where you inspire confidence is needed though)

I've got my ticket

Got mine too - can't wait now - first show for me!

I'm with oh_megan on this... really hope they play a Birmingham date.

Getting to London on a Monday isn't much fun, even if I take a half day or day off work.
The train / petrol / then tube fare will add up to quite a lot.
Not saying they're not worth the effort. It would be awesome.
Just a shame it's not at the weekend.

Koko is a nice venue though... seen Bloc Party, Explosions in the Sky and 65 Days of Static there and always had a great night there.

Also, I've just seen that some a**hole is already trying to make a quick buck from this show on Ebay.
4 tickets at £49.50 each are on sale already!

Plus £5.45 postage!
I always hate the overpriced delivery fee that people try to charge on ebay. Even special delivery is only about £4. So they must be sending the tickets in a special quality luxury £1.45 envelope! Or not!

Same here! I'm flying over from Germany and also hope to get a cheap flight. I'm flying to Frank Turner's Wembley show next month and I pay 20€ for a return flight thanks to Ryanair!

Theirs always some douche trying to make a easy buck on these things unfortunately theres not much we fans can do about it. with regards to the postage thats actualy cheaper then what the 02 charged priority customers. Bought mine this morning and as well as a 2.75 service charge on each ticket theyve also charged 5.50 for special delivery and there's no option to print unless i missed something. seems we have to decide who we would rather be shafted by unfortunately.

Mornington creasent tube station is right across the road from the venue,so you wont have to walk to far.Camden always seems alright when i have been down there,usually plenty people around.
