After about a 20 minute hold I Just got my tickets in the stalls block J row 6. I was told that only a few seats left at the back of the arena level, they are all selling fast she said that there will be a lot of disappointed people today, hope you're lucky!
 P.S. I used a different box office number to the one stated above 0845 401 5045 but hey as long as you get through.

Looking at the schedule of the concerts there is a gap between 15 to 21 July unless that's for the guys to rest before coming over to Europe after the US concerts. There is also another gap between 7 to 16 August when they leave Europe to go to Japan.

I could have sworn the gap before the European shows was much shorter. Have some of the gigs been cancelled?

  I don't think so I took the dates from the official website so I guess unless they have added more and haven't put them up that is the time frame at the moment.

The thing that annoys me about this is the lack of information. If they just came out and said "unfortunately we won't be playing any UK/IRE shows" then we could make the decision to buy tickets for other EUR shows or not. But by keeping us waiting, we have no idea whether to fork out for another show or run the risk of paying for two plus flights and hotels. Just say "yes" or "no" and we can do what we want.

Personally I think it's a great shame and I have never seen the BBs in their entirety before. Looks like I never will......

I guess that's what I was trying to put over in my original post, it would be nice to know just one way or the other.

Let's just hope we might get something added in there but like you say just let us know, PLEASE.
        It would also be interesting to know why as posted on here by someone that Bruce Johnston said that they have to have these concerts over by mid August?

If it is to be no UK dates then it's a sad day for us all over here and a snub to a lot of there most ardent fans, let's hope it changes.
   Personally I can't see why the Olympics and Queens Jubilee would have much impact on them finding dates over here surely there are plenty of venues and promoters only to willing to put them on?

UK tour dates?


   

NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRR

   

Thanks for the ridicule of other fans who just want to see the boys celebrate their 50th anniversary, I hope the Beach Boys don't feel the same way as you!

i don't see any reason to think it'd happen. They said there'd be more European dates, and then they announced Spain. There's only a six-day space after the European dates, for them to fit in Australia and Hong Kong. Given that we've got no reason to think they'll announce any, my advice is to try to get to one of the continental shows.

As I said they quoted European territories, plural! Really wanted to see them in the UK and hoped they would come and see their many fans here.

It said more tour dates would be announced for Europe.

More were. (The Spanish shows.)

I wouldn't expect anything else at this point.

I appreciate that they announced the Spanish shows, it actually said more European territories would be announced so I was hoping the UK would be one of them. Also I'm sure the fans in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore are as eager as we are to hear something as they were mentioned too.

It's now 2wks after the recent article from Capitol on 25th April stating that more tour dates are to be announced for Europe and further afield, apart from a couple that was announced to be in Spain that's all we've heard, when oh when are we going to hear something?
  It's murder reading on here how good the boys are sounding and how great the concerts are without having to suffer the possibility of them not coming over to the UK.
  Has anyone got news on further dates, and if as said by some on here that the boys read this board, come on guys put us out of our misery please!

Hi First post but here goes, I was looking forward to completing a lifetime ambition which was to travel from the UK to see the Beach Boys in their home state of California. I couldn't believe my bad luck when they announced all the Californian dates were in the dates of my vacation which has been bought and paid for and can't be changed without loss of funds. Then to add insult no UK dates have been announced, which although not being California would have been a substitute. Do you think the Band will play any more dates in the USA especially in California when they return home, or has my chance gone for good?

In a new interview Bruce Johnston stated that the chances of them continuing to tour (after the string of already announced gigs has concluded) are rather slim. Sorry, mate. But in the world of the Beach Boys (just like in Spiceworld  ) you never know what may happen. And you can always catch a Mike&Bruce show after that.

Guess that was probably going to be the case but thanks for the information.
