Can't make it next week, but just to let you know that the Bald Faced Stag was dire when I recently went back to East Finchley during the summer - crap beer, crap food, bar staff extremely unhelpful, and a generally dirty pub...! :p

Perhaps if the Bald Faced Stag seems a bit of a ropey boozer perhaps some of these alternatives could be better for a meet up Cheers!

bwahahahaha...

Jeff,

Don't be a pretender! We always knew you are a Culture Club fan!

Anyone got a spare for this???

Er, booked 2 tickets for this and discovered yesterday that the booking system has NOT processed my bookings or payments (done last tuesday) - due to some technical error or such thing.

So, i'm going down there tonight on my way home to have it out with them and see if i can somehow blag it as it is an error of theirs.......

Wish me luck!

I'll still be out Wednesday, though.

Anyone that has booked - double check your bookings.

Er, how do you know it didn't go through?

I've had a confirmation number and everything. Did you not?

However, that website is SHIT. Tried about 10 times during the working day to get tickets and it kept timing out. Eventually tried one more time before their box office phoneline opened and it actually went through that time!

They don't issue automated emails either - you have to print off the screen confirmation itself. Poor.

Well, my broadband has been crashing every couple of days for the past 2 weeks, and had only just revived itself when i read your e-mail early, early doors on Tueday morning. Went through the booking thing - about 6/7 times (5am in the morning) and thought perhaps it was the broadband causing the problems - although i didn't have any problems booking tickets the same time for Arsenal. Put all my details through, bank card etc, said it was confirmed but no ref came up and i then went off to get ready for work without thinking about it (assuming a confirmation would be e-mailed)

Was only whilst reading about it beeing fully booked and people asking for tickets that the penny dropped (no e-mail), so, i tried to check for hours with the bastard box office - with no success, and then checked with my bank and NO money has been debited from my account(or is pending)

So, i'm going down there tonight! Probably get us all barred!

I still need one as well.

You wouldn't get an email though - just an on-screen confirmation.

Wonder if they're saving any back on the night? Wolfram's in the hunt for a spare for his Mrs too.

Exactly - i got a confirmation on - screen.........but no ref number or anything - nothing to write down?? Didn't think much about it at the time. Just thought it would be sent in an e-mail.

I'm 100% going down there tonight, am really going to try and blag it and see if i can get some tickets (lay it on thick etc), and find out what the score is for Weds.

I'm in the Smoke this Weds but got other engagements between 8PM and 1AM. Up for a shandy bass in a ladies glass if there's a pre or post event session. Somewhere handy for either Barbican or Portland Place.

We could always try the old opening the firedoors routine for the ticketless hoardes.
