Kraftwerk

Shitting hell that's going to be amazing. And impossible to get tickets for.

being awake at 7:30 a problem?

Tate website crashing more likely to be the issue I would think.

tried Dusseldorf without any luck - not sure I should even bother trying for these

I guess I missed Techno Pop getting released then, weird

I'm thinking 8 shows, probably 10k per show (? or is that a wild over-esitmation?) means a fairly good chance, but we shall see.

10,000 people in the Turbine Hall??

plus kraftwerk.

When I saw PJ Harvey there a few years ago it was a pretty small audience. More like one thousand, I'd guess.

Electric Café was reissued under this title in 2009.

xxp I'm appalling at judging those kind of space capacities, but I think you could get a lot of people in there...

never forget 02/22/12

RIP my hopes and dreams

It's a question of how many people you can safely get in there given the number of exits etc. It's pretty long and very high but not very wide as venues go.

i'd guess capacity is probably around 2-2.5 thousand.

Biggest issue will be the sound, no? When I've seen performances there the echo has been appalling because of the high roof.

The 1986 album is "Techno Pop". It's always been "Techno Pop", okay?

CASSETTE!

no it was supposed to be techno pop, then it was electric café and then it became techno pop

Wow. I really wanna see Autobahn or Trance Europe Express - but most people are gonna go for those first aren't they? I just wanna see Kraftwerk actually. I guess it may be easier to try for later nights - or is that not how the website / booking will work. Tactics, anyone?

I expect Computer World and The Man Machine would go before Autobahn.

(cough) Trans.

Anyway, I just really meant - I'm not sure how the site would work. Is it even worth going for the less popular nights? The whole booking system may be busy so I guess I just try for what I really want (with a willing volunteer on another computer trying another night possibly?)

I'm probably going to go for a few nights, and take what I'm given...

well, this is fun

Lest we forget (or is it too late already?)

under no illusion but am still enjoying the communal experience of F5 along with 1 million other KW fans

Kraftwerk at Tate Modern has just gone on sale and we are experiencing a phenomenal demand for tickets which is affecting our web server.

HOW UNEXPECTED

fucking

telephone only

just as well, in a way, the work system is down also.

Tate FB page a hotbed of frustration

I hate buying tickets for in-demand events these days. Stress and disappointment.

At work, using my phone with a redial rate of roughly once a second, not a sniff :(

what if you just had 'turned up' there this morning?

Tried this number O2O8 887 8888 after somebody mentioned it on the Tate FB link and got through on my second attempt, in the queue now.

ooh...

This from a dude on the Tate FB page.

Just been to the Tate , no tickets on sale there so don't bother going (due to no actual physical tickets). still plenty of digital tickets left though - but only via the phone - keep trying I guess

it's more fun to compute

Conflicting info on the new number, some people say they got tickets some wouldn't be put through, unsure what to do now.

Trying to get a connection on the telephone line
You're so close but far away, I call you up all night and day

Got tix for night 2, wasn't allowed to book more than one night.

wow! what number? how many redials?

0208 887 8888 is the one I got through on

That's coming through as invalid now.

Tried for roughly 2.5 hours on the original number then I saw on FB that people were getting through on the 8888 number and got through right away.

Oh shit!!! sorry 0207 887 8888 nor 0208

ah, I see what you did there!

Reading FB, people seem to have more luck on the 8888 number.

oh the irony of computer servers breaking down forcing people to book KW tickets on analogue phones

eh? most of these albums were recorded on analogue gear no?
