Evening all, I was hoping to benefit from the collective wisdom of the board. I was due to make my first visit to the Apollo in many decades on Saturday but I’m going to Ireland instead and have two tickets I can’t use. I don’t want to make money out of it, I’d be delighted to get face value back. They are for stalls standing-this area is completely sold out and there only appear to be a couple of dozen circle tickets left.
I bought through EventimUK and they haven’t sent me any digital tickets yet, so even if I wanted to tout them on Stubhub etc, I don’t have anything. Eventim say I can offer them on their own fan exchange at face value, but the facility to list them, which they claim should be automatic isn’t there yet - perhaps because it’s not yet sold out. Ironically, they said I could list a paper ticket if I had one, but for postal reasons it would have to close any sale today.
Any advice? Can I list the promise of a digital ticket online and then send it over when it comes? When do EventimUK release digital pass tickets in advance? Any other suggestions?
By the way, it’s Blackberry Smoke, Southern big-band country/blues. Not my usual, but I saw them last year because I had heard one song by their support band on a playlist and I was on a post Covid live music binge. They put on a great show, great sound and really worked the audience. They must be a bit of a cult following, very diverse group, bikers to school mums night out. Any interest? |  | | |  |

Great band. Stick it on Twickets for £10 below face and they'll go quick...totally reliable website that works incredibly well. |  |

Thanks Nic, any idea when the tickets might materialise? | | | |

No, i guess they must be imminent. I would message them on Twitter, the venues seem to be better at responding via that platform for some reason. Don't list the tickets until you've got them though, it will just add to the stress. | |

On Twickets, you can put them up for sale before you have them – increasingly, gig tickets are sent out electronically a day or so before the show. You get all your money back if they don't materialise. And you are put in direct touch with the seller, so they cant hide.
It's much the best of the resale sites. |  | | |

Thanks, I ve got them on Twickets now, seems fairly painless so far. I paid £18 fees to Eventim for £70 worth of tickets and it’s a miserable customer experience, pitiful loops of useless advice.
Talking of cult followings I see the Apollo has sold out three nights with the Teskey Brothers, literally no clue (though that’s not saying much). | | | |

I’ve used Twickets a few times, both buying and selling, and it’s been pretty good from my experience. I’m actually already going to this gig otherwise I would have offered to buy them off you. Will let you know how it goes. |  | | |

A strange journey for me. During Covid, we had themed family dinners with a Spotify playlist to match. We did BBQone night and I put Redneck Country in and to my amazement really enjoyed it, particularly the Read Southall Band. My daughter and I determined to watch more live music after reopening and we saw they were coming to London to support BBS, who I hadn’t come across before, and I snapped up tickets for the Roundhouse for April last year.
I listened to a bit of BBS before, but nothing made much of an impression. I had an idea something was up when the 300 odd who enjoyed Read Southall turned into a solid mass for the main event. Maybe a quarter were Americans, but everyone was singing along, bikers, cowboys, class-rep mums off their nuts, a huge cult following. It was a great show, crystal sound, great rapport.
The one thing I didn’t get, was where did this come from? Are they on the radio a lot, if so where? I’ve never heard anyone mention them before or since, where did they get such a passionate following? | | | |

Check out Red Clay Strays and try to go and see them next time they're over the pond Steve. | |

Teskey Brothers are very good bluesy/country/rock duo from Australia. I saw them at a festival a few years ago and they are very good.
they've built up quite a following, but didn't think they were 3 nights at Apollo popular. Not likely to be a big chart or commercial radio presence, so easy to have missed them.....
equally i've not heard of the group you have tickets for  |  | | |

It was COVID time when I got into them,lying in the garden enjoying my furlough,listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd,Tedeshi Trucks,Dickie Betts..etc,on Amazon,it said if you like this,you’ll like this,and pinged up BBS.Unlike you I instantly liked them,was surprised to learn how long they have been around,and how I’ve missed them.
No ldea how they have got such a following,I know Country and Western is pretty big at the moment,so being Country Rock,maybe a few have given them a try ? only radio station I’ve heard them on is Black Deer Radio.
P.S
Sounds like my kind of night,BBQ and good music,hopefully a couple of beers involved. | | | |

If you like the Southern rock feel have a listen to The Sheepdogs and The Commoners. Both Canadian bands and both really good. And if you do like them The Sheepdogs are playing in Islington on the 5th of December with The Commoners supporting [Post edited 12 Sep 21:30]
