Slightly frustrating that no ticket details are on yet. I want to know if there will be VIP tickets and not have to make my mind up in a rush tomorrow morning!

Mixed feelings on this, on one hand I'm kinda annoyed that I've paid a fair amount of money to go all the way to Berlin just to see them, on the other hand....

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Rock!

Beach Boys in the UK! This is going to be sweet, Smiley Smile message board members meeting before and after? SSMBM assemble!

You need to be on the O2 mobile network.

If you're not, like me, but know someone who is, you could ask very very kindly for their login details!!

Thanks for the o2 shout ( I'm with them ) - Just noticed on the o2 Priority site that this gig already has 8,893 likes , so its going to be a great laugh trying to get tickets ( NOT !!! )

Yeah thanks for the heads up re: 02 as fortunately I'm with them too.

This gig is great news!

I'm gonna bet they do "Surf's Up" and a few more SMiLE cuts over there in the UK.

I'm calling it right now.

Yeah was also wondering this .... here's hoping!

What is a VIP ticket? Do you get to meet the band? Are these meet and greets worthwhile?

Thanks -

I guess now we may entertain hopes that there'll be more Euro dates TBA. Since Hong Kong is Aug 25, and this one's a month later, there's space to be filled...

I'd be thinking another hemisphere instead (or in addition to) post Hong Kong.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Wouldn't it be nice if they announced all the new UK/Irish/Aussie dates together so we could all rejoice as one..

If i remember correctly didn't Brian announce his last UK tour with London firstly, then the rest a few weeks later? Then again "Beach Boys" only did 1 date last year! But they were touring Europe. Surely the're not coming over just for 1 show, I'm betting a European or UK tour, or maybe both?

I'm thinking not. Dave BEard has said it's a one-off show, and he seems to have the inside track.

Had to get 5 tickets so I think I limited my chances of a good seat. We've got S12 which I am disappointed with but at least we have tickets and that's the main thing. I could have got closer tickets but higher up but I made the mistake of trying to get better ones. Why do I never learn. I hope the view from there is ok, I'll have to take some binoculars! To me you have to be close to the stage to really experience a gig.

So in summary, I wish I had better tickets but I am so glad I have tickets to their only gig here.

So how are you buying these? With that O2 pre-sale thing?
Are the A blocks available at all?

Yes-O2 have a limited amount of tickets. It states that Blocks A and B will be unavailable so I'm safely assuming there will be VIP packages

Ugh I'm really apprehensive now, I'm not on O2 but I'm gonna try the LiveNation presale tomorrow and then Friday. I have to get 3 tickets so I'm seriously doubting that I'll get good seats. I guess I should be thankful for any seat, really. My fingers are crossed.
