Looks like he could be breaking all records again. All ticket sites seem to be chaos already.
Garlic Bread! Hilarious
I don't get it. He's about as funny as the plague.
I knew it'd bring out the haters.
I like him. I prefer his TV stuff though over his stand up.
It’s not like in the old days is it? [ 😆 ] Remember the old days when you could buy tickets in a queue outside the venue. [ 😆 😆 😆 ] Let’s all laugh while we remember familiar things from the old days. [ 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 ]
Brilliant. Watch everyone who doesn't like him, open a thread to comment about how much they don't like him.
Incidentally, All the sham ticket websites can go **** themselves. Waited since 9:30 to get tickets, all sold out.
Then you go on Facebook and people are saying they just went on at 10:05, straight through and bought them, no fuss!
To be fair to him he always does his bit for Children in Need by promoting his latest tour.
Just got tickets for the Newcastle show, Feb 2019. Leeds had sold out apparently!
If he's half as funny live as John Bishop that'll do for me! Took 2 days for me pants to dry out!
My Mrs is trying to get some for Newcastle or her mother is for them, I won’t be going to see the same jokes.
Not my cup of tea, but all the boat'ettes want to go. Rang the Sheffield fly and bought 4 tickets no worries. Brother-in-law text as he was out and about wanting some, took about 5 attempts and bought 4 more. Ticket madness......
Edit

That's what worries me, had to see him at the O2 and couple of years ago, and I'll never get that time back.
Loved Phoenix Nights and his first stand up. Not really seen much since then tbh. Is the standup just more of the same “good at remembering” stuff?
double post
If I want to see cheerful fat Northerners who aren't as pleasant as they first appear I'll go and speak to my family.
Not a hater, but I love the Shooting Stars Peter Kay on Masterchef sketch. (iPad youtube link not working)
"Remember old fashioned trousers?"
So good 😆
Got 4 June at Manchester
After 40 mins we got 6 tickets for Birmingham. Tickets now for sale on twickets at original price.
Someone on our local Facebook is trying to sell a pair @ £150.00 each !!

So ****ing wrong! The sooner you have to register your name and it goes on the tickets the better.

Yeah, but look how many people succumbed to it's charms.
Paddy and Max. Great.
Car Share. Pretty good.
Don't like his stand up.
Got tickets for Bill Bailey's new tour though, so all's good.
Car Share and Phoenix Nights were indeed excellent.
Watched his standup DVD's and tbh, I knew half the gags anyway because they show clips all the time on TV, which spoilt it a bit.
I have a mate who was on his course at Salford Uni.
Apparently he used to sit in the pub with a soft drink and write down anything he found funny, then build his routines around that.
He was a popular, pleasant bloke by all accounts.
The Dave Spikey row put me off him a bit tbh, but he does what he does incredibly well and you can't deny he puts a shift in.
Car share was funny and Phoenix Nights was ace.

“I did lots of research for it on my own. I took Peter to loads of clubs and I even sent my own wife to an Ann Summers night for research!
His sit coms are good, Phoenix nights especially, but his stand-up is aimed at a wider audience (a lot of older people) who would just look at the TV in a confused state if faced with an episode of Phoenix nights.
I like him. I can imagine that won’t help his STW street cred
Everytime there's a comedy thread, it stuns and amazes that not everyone likes the same comedy!!
Hey, you know that Michael McIntyre bloke? Nobody! BUT NOBODY finds him funny yeah? Gets his own TV shows n everything! No, but someone posted a video of him on my Facebook and I couldn't listen to it, but it was subtitled - and I was laughing! It was about Waitrose shoppers and very well observed. I think it gained something from not being able to hear the twonk. Yeah, just that. Still don't like him though.
Tickets for Glasgow - front stalls - £414 each!! FFS!
He's a funny man but.....
I could probably sack him off and do the wrong thing and easily make a quick 400 quid on my 6 cheap seats tickets. But to further enrage the haters I'm gonna go to the show and undoubtedly laugh and have a good time even though I could have made money.
[i] £414 each!! FFS![/i]
Jeez. That's insane. When are ticket prices going to reach a point where nobody is prepared to pay such stupid money for an hour or two of entertainment?
We managed to get tickets for Leeds.
It took two computers, 3 ticket sites each and lots of refreshing and hope and disappointment but Mrs PP stuck gold after about 20 mins!
It still amazes me that gigsandtours site was still crashing. It's like they didn't expect a million people to suddenly try and get tickets for a massive arena tour from their ticket website at the time they went on sale!
Oh and for the arguments, I like Peter Kay. Some people don't. They probably didn't buy tickets, I did.
So **** wrong! The sooner you have to register your name and it goes on the tickets the better.
Iron Maiden did this for their last tour. Well, they brought in a rule that the ticket buyer had to be present at the turnstile with all ticket holders and have the original payment card with them. It worked for them – didn't sell out as quickly but still sold out and the tour was full of people that simply bought full price tickets. Granted it was a bit chaotic at the venue at times but I felt that inconvenience was worth it.
Always strange how the resellers manage to get a large number of tickets very quickly whilst ordinary punters struggle to get one or two. It's almost like there's some sort of collusion between the original ticket site and the resellers 😯
There were still £80 tickets available at 3pm on Sunday, so it didn't sell out within minutes.
When I saw they were £80 I left the queue! I like him, but not that much!

Yup..
Was hearing from someone at work who had been trying for Glasgow tickets.They were trying the sites as soon as tickets came on sale.All sold out,but within minutes there were lots available at a returns site for £400 😯 ..
Makes ya think 😉
I wonder if he'll say 'what's that all about eh'
I like him too, I like the sorta look at normal life in a funny way approach. I'd like to see someone do a mix up between his style with a bit of Frankie Boyle thrown in.
I've only seen 3 other comedians live so looking forward to Peter Kay.
Ken Dodd. Hilarious.
Sarah Millican. Hilarious.
John Bishop. Maybe more hilarious.
Ken Dodd is the funniest comedian I've ever seen.
He does go on a bit though, show started at 8, we left after midnight.
There were a couple of musical numbers though and he started to repeat himself about 11ish.
🙂
Without any exaggeration, he's a genius.
All imo, obviously, before the sneering starts.
Second funniest was Shazia Mirza, just after 9/11 at the Manchester Comedy Store.
'Hiya, my name's Shazia Mirza. Well, that's what it says on my pilot's licence...'
Crikey! My folks took me to see Ken Dodd in Blackpool either late 1960s or early 1970s 😳
Bloody rubbish - I can't remember any of his jokes 😆
Tickets for Glasgow - front stalls - £414 each!! FFS!
I'll come round to your house and remember things for half that if you're interested.
wrightyson - MemberBut to further enrage the haters
The word you're struggling with is detractors.
Just thought I'd help you with your vocabulary seeing as this thread was already completely devoid of comedy.
Sarah Millican. Hilarious.
I like lots of her stuff but I get so tired of female stand-ups doing jokes about periods and other lady things all the time. (Her reliance on such themes was more in evidence at a live show).

U OK hun?
Failed miserably on Sunday morning but managed to get tickets for the one of the extra dates that went on sale today.
Not his biggest fan but don't dislike him either. Mrs F loves him. Looking forward to a weekend in London and Peter Kay show...
Jun 2019 at London O2. Only 19 months to wait.
[i]London O2[/i]
Yeah, I do like to see comedians at nice intimate venues 😯
LOL. Didn't see 'Intimate Basement Comedy Club' on the list of venues 🙂

LOLZ. Don't you know that language is evolving so we only have to use 3 words to say everything. Awesumz, haterz and nazis. If you need any other words you can sprinkle some 'so's and 'like's around.
Peter Kaye was awesumz in that Danny Baker thing on the telly. And car share was superb. I don't like standup but he seems as good as any.
Don't you know that language is [b]d[/b]evolving
FTFY.
Jerry Sadowitz was the last comedian I saw, so it's safe to say my tastes are quite different.
Oh dear. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-42339698
Wonder what happens to the people who paid over the odds with the touts?

They will have a very expensive night in.
I have zero sympathy for those who purchased from touts. Not sure how sites like stubhub or get me in will go about the refunds but at the end of the day they controlled the initial financial transaction. I very much doubt they'll be refunding any "fees"
Must be quite the concern to cancel all dates from 2018/19.

1. You should. As they are just people who couldn’t get tickets because of:
2. Bots. Most people never had a chance to get tickets, because of software designed by geniuses specifically to buy tickets in seconds.
3. Fun fact. Stubhub is owned by eBay.
Interesting read/listen: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/live-event-ticket-market-screwed/
Yup, it's not the fault of the consumer that the event ticket market is run by and for racketeers.
It is a little. If consumers didn't pay ridiculously over the odds for tickets there wouldn't be a market. But I appreciate why people do it.
Yep, the consumers have the power to totally destroy the industry overnight, just by not buying tickets except directly from the box office. Never happen, of course.
breatheeasy - MemberIt is a little. If consumers didn't pay ridiculously over the odds for tickets there wouldn't be a market.
Add an "all"- individual consumers only have the power to miss out on events, the structures and margins here are such that the industry can not just survive, but outright ignore major changes in consumer behaviour. It's a stacked deck.
Scarlet Mist and Twickets for the win. Keep spreading the word!
There's no way I'd ever buy from the 'legtimised' secondary ticket market but understand why people do. It'll continue until artists or legislation takes control cos the punters obviously can't help themselves. I don't doubt it's some sort of cartel though.
Used twickets in the past. Original price paid to the original buyer. No problem with that at all. We go to a lot of gigs and 8t really boils my piss when 15 seconds later apparent sold out tickets are available on stubhub. Knew stubhub was owned by eBay as I had sold the odd spare ticket on eBay in the past but they banned it when stubhub suddenly came about.
Must be really serious if Peter Kay cancelled the events, can't see many people being that pissed off.. His events only really drag in his followers anyway and they'll support him throughout. Shame the Charities will loose out though, thats the biggest news about this..
Be nice if some donated their ticket(s) refunds direct to the Charities involved ..
IMO.

Why should they? How about Peter Kay dips into his vast fortune and does it instead?
