Let me know if you fancy a pint, some decent places on the doorstep of the arena Ah I meant I was looking for you in Nottingham I've got my tickets for the NIA (or whatever stupid name its called now!) in Brum. Load of us from work going. More of less work opposite so it'll be a good night, especially as its a Friday. They're not on general sale until Saturday but priority preference from today, if you are on the mailing list. Birmingham availability is low already!

I got priority as I have used Ticket Factory before (for Gervais and Skinner) and on the mailing list. Have you tried Ticketmaster? I can select tickets and get to the checkout there... which seems strange as they shouldn't be available until Saturday if they are following the same model as Ticket Factory! https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/stratagemwith-alan-partridge-live-birmingham-29-04-2022/event/37005AB9E7715B71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had signed up for emails but double checked account and it was off. I suspect the same with ticketmaster but will have a look. Thanks. edit: those tickets through ticket master are either stupidly expensive or right in the gods. Can’t even reserve those though! Will try another way I think! Thanks anyway Edited May 27, 2021 by cyrusr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was ordering mine earlier there were large sections that you could't purchase in (all the lower area in front of the stage). I assume they will be released from 9am on Saturday for general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted May 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2021 Phoning up EDF yesterday following my unsuccessful attempts to get them to sort out my billing issue online. They agreed that they should not have estimated my bills seeing as I'm on a smart meter and confirm that they now have the readings. I looked in my account this morning and my monthly direct debit is going down from £108 a month to £65 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bill for gas and electric is £55 per month and hasn't changed really in a 5 years. I give readings every few months and the DD may go up a couple of quid either way but nothing major.
