Just got home from the gig. Was lovely to see Ms Lauryn Hill in the UK again. Had a good night and loved lauryns energy and how happy she seemed. Highlight was the unplugged set as love just hearing her voice as something's the band was to high and the sound guy needed to turn them down a bit. Loved the arrangement of everything is everything. Now I'm looking forward to next weekend when I get to meet her. :0) that's my dream and I can't wait!!!!!! Also will be interesting to see if her set will be different as it's a intimate show.

Thanks emancip8urself. Saw the news this lunch time and was meaning to put it on here. Been thinking about the meet and greet tickets all day. I have already two seating tickets for the 20th so was thinking is a lot of money to then get meet and greet tickets for the 28th as not really got the money. So had come to terms that wouldn't be trying to get them. That saying 10mins ago my other half started playing Lauryn hill and then a text came through on my phone with the confirmation email for two meet and greet tickets. My other half had booked them this morning on the pre sale before I even knew about it was happening. I'm so excited and still in shock. Can't believe I'm actually going to see her in concert two times this month and meet her. :0D

Just to be super clear I was joking about the reality tv show I don't mind waitng, but it does worry me a bit when the venue has an 11 pm curfew. I quessed you was joking I was myself a bit worried about the 11pm curfew. When I saw her at the 02 indigo arena London April 2012. I think the doors opened at 7.30pm and she came on about 8.45pm and finshed about 10.30ish.

Maybe they should do a reality show on the logistics of running a tour. There could soundboards exploding at inopportune moments, boarder closures, missing luggage, a stylist's dog could eat a vital passport ! Okay..I usually keep out of these conversations because they're so silly to me, but I need to clarify something. No artist starts at the time of the time listed on the ticket. The point is to drain as much money from the patrons for the venue as possible. SO...you have an opening act and then it takes a LONG while to move the last artist's band and equipment off the stage and then set up the new band and ALL of their equipment. If something goes wrong with said equipment then that just prolongs the time even more. The HEADLINING artist is meant to start at least 2 hours later than the time the venue lets the patrons in. The majority of the time, Ms. Hill has not been late. The time in Brooklyn where she didn't show up till midnight is definitely her fault in some way! Now imagine this routine with FESTIVALS with hundreds of artists doing the same spiel in a shorter time span. I hope this helps. I agree I have been to loads of concerts and the main act never starts when the ticket says. The time on the ticket is usally when the doors open!! They always come on around 9 - 9.30ish. Most artist also do around a hours set and seeing Lauryn does just under 2 hours I think that is amazing.

I have just checked my tickets as I printed them instead of getting them posted. They say reserved seating so you should be fine. I started to worry thinking I paid £90 a ticket and people who paid £45 for there seats could end up in my seats. So was pleased to see reserved seating on the tickets. Ah nice you got row A. I got row B so very happy :-)
Supermoonface - shame you had to pay double for the 2nd ticket. I'm like you Lauryn is my favourite artist and I'm so excited to be seeing her again. :-)

Ah sorry to hear that supermoonface. Least you have your standing ticket. Hope you find a seat ticket at a good price.
What website did you try getting them with? I tried the link on ticketmaster that took me to ticketweb. Wanted to do it with them as you can pick youe own seats. They are rubbish. Tickmaster even though you cant pick what seats you want they are much better. Im feeling happy I got them but still feel stressed over crashing on ticketweb the site.

Ah thats great thanks for the advice emancip8urself. Glad you got some tickets. I had a ticketmaster account already but didnt realise I needed a live nation one. So setting that up is what took the time up and most likely why I missed out. Hopefully I will get seats tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I did try 02 priorty to see if could get tickets with them. They had all gone and didnt realise that they went on sale yesterday at 9am. Well done supermoonface on getting your ticket. Tomrrow im going to log into ticketmaster, live nation & 02 brixton website at 8.45 and get ready to look on all 3.

The show was amaazing in 2012. Yeah as i couldnt get meet and greet in 2012 after the show I was trying to see if I could find a way to meet her. I dont want to stand again as it gets packed and people are drunk etc. So im going to try and get the good seat tickets. Does make me think why do peeople spend money on tickets then get high and off there face and not remember the concert. I think they just take tickets from the people that really want to see her. Maybe if you dont like sloping floor maybe try seats. Tried to book priority tickets today at 9 and all priority tickets gone. They sold out in 5mins fingers crossed I get tickets tomorrow when they go on normal sale. I think I will cry if I dont get tickets.
