More Sex Pistols Shows

Those raggedy-taggledy Pistol lads are doing more shows - 12 November at Brixton Academy and 17 November in Manchester. There was a pre-sale for mailing list people for the Brixton show today but it had sold out by the time I got the email which is rather annoying, but at least they're trying to flout the touts.

A note on John's website on Friday said:

Ticket Touts: Never Mind the Parasites

JohnLydon.Com is saddened to hear that tickets for the Brixton shows have already fallen into the wrong hands; leaving many loyal fans frustrated. Unfortunately these are circumstances out of our control.

We genuinely sympathise with these fans, many of whom now feel they will be forced to turn to ticket touts. John Lydon in NO way condones ticket touts. Both he and everyone at JohnLydon.Com are completely against touts, ebay charlatans, and grasping ticket agencies. These people are parasites and should be regarded as such.

At least I've got tickets for the gig on the 9th!
