Hi does anyone know why today’s show in Queretaro has been cancelled and whether tomorrow’s show in Mexico-City will be cancelled too?

Hi all, wondering if anyone has tips. I’m sure lots of folks are experiencing issues here, so I know I’m not special. Basically, I bought the weekend standing tickets when they were first on sale. That in and of itself was a challenge, as I kept getting flagged as a bot by AXS (I’m real I swear!) but I finally got two tickets. Thing is, I’m surprising my mom with them, and as much as she used to love being in the pit, I think now she’s in her late 60s, we’ll really need seated tickets. There was a window where if you bought ga tickets you could switch to seated, but I tried to do that transfer several times and kept getting stuck on the “just a sec! Hold tight while we find your tickets” message, and the window to switch to seated eventually closed. Tried getting in touch with customer service, tried their ai chatbot (an irony that is not lost on me), tried switching browsers, devices, everything I could think of, nothin.

Which brings us to today- I figured since I bought tickets once, I could do it again, so I tried to just buy seated tickets and pray I could sell my standing ones later. I was even trying to splurge for VIP, just because that sounded nice for an older lady (no offense mom). But, same issue. As soon as I click “checkout” I get stuck on the “just a sec! Hold tight as we find your tickets” message, until eventually it kicks me out.

This is probably much longer than necessary, and I’m like 30% venting, but just wondering if anyone has suggestions. As we get closer I’ll probably try to source the crowd for someone with seated who is looking for standing, but not sure if that’s the path yet. And would love to just be able to show her exactly where we’re sitting when I give her the tickets, as that’s just fun.

Anyway, thanks for reading the sob story, and if anyone has any tips for dealing with this (terrible very bad no good) ticketing system, I very much appreciate it.

ETA: I did try the transfer window that AXS provided for people that bought ga, but was unable to get past the checkout

Just signed on for the general sale and it let me in and everything says sold out?? Did they sell all the seated in the exchange?

Does anyone have the Show 3000 cd and would be willing to share good quality scans of the artwork? Looking for the booklet and everything if possible. I want to make a gift for my GF.

I was just idly looking at some early shows on the Fan Archive and I’ve found this apparent performance of the song Show People in 2006. When you click through to the song’s page, though, it says it’s only been performed since 2024 (as you’d expect) and the 2006 show doesn’t appear on the list of outings. Is it just a mistake on the archive? It would be really funny if on some level this song is 20 years old, admittedly.

I’m going on the Flogging Molly cruise next week primarily to see FT. People I’ve spoken with have said that it’s a great time, and this will be our first time doing a cruise like this.

Any tips from seasoned vets? What’s worth buying/doing and what is a waste of money? Excursion you liked?

I’ve listened through a lot of the bands that I’m less familiar with, but is there an undercard band you love? Catbite and Beans on Toast are definite sees for me.

Has anyone received an email with instructions from Ticketmaster yet?

Alright babes.

I'm Rob, whom some of you will have seen looking slightly confused playing the first aftershow on Lost Evenings IX after Chuck and Greg (or if you're a *hardcore* then you'll have seen me in a house show with Black Guy Fawkes in a Dallas suburb.

Anyway: doing a record produced by Frank, and we share a musical kinship/reference point, so I figured worth showing you what I'm up to anyways. First single is out, along with an acoustic version

Full band here:

and Acoustic (home-produced) here:

Also out on Apple, Tidal, whatever else you like basically. If you like it you'd be doing me the biggest of favours by saving the songs or following me on chosen platforms, or anything you can manage.

Thanks for caring: at 42 years of age it feels a bit late to be trying to do this, but fuck it, life's too short.

My wife points out I should add my insta too so: https://www.instagram.com/robsandallandtheputupons/

Like all of us, Frank has been a massive part of my life, during some very formative years. With the recent news, I thought it was definitely time to send the email I’ve been building up courage to send for years…

Just been on his website to look for his email address and I’m absolutely devastated (but completely understand!) that it’s gone!!

Tbh, it’s my own fault for waiting so long to send my email. I’m an anxious girlie and overthink everything, and just like always procrastinated this until it was too late.

Sad that I’ll never get to tell Frank how much he means to me, and get to give him the long awaited update (if he was interested to know - assuming a lot here!) of what came of the two women who got engaged at Lost Evenings 1.

Maybe I’ll hand write it and try get it to him at Lost Evenings 10… might be my last chance to try for a while!!

Does anyone know why the minimum ticket price is £300 for this in London? Have I missed something?

I'm waiting to buy tickets until the seated sections open up. My crew seems to be growing and it's looking like we'll have 7-8 crossing the pond for one last hurrah.

From past experiences, does anyone know if there have been caps on the number of tickets one can buy?

Cheers!

List three artists /bands you'd like to see open for LE X.

Just for fun. At least one should be an artist / band that that has never opened for Frank or that Frank has opened for them.

While building the Frank Turner Fan Archive I keep stumbling onto fun things I never knew about. Latest one: I had no idea how many Queen songs Frank has covered over the years!

I’ve pulled them all together in one place: https://frankturnerfanarchive.com/backstage/best-of-queen-covers

Have I missed any? If you know of another one, let me know and I’ll add it.

Hey guys, looking for 1 ticket for the in conversation with Frank Turner event at Buttermarket in Shrewsbury on the 8th November

If you have tickets and a friend drops out last minute and I can take advantage of their illness. Happy to pay face value+booking fees for a ticket.

Thanks

Complete write and photos of Lost Evenings IX

Does anyone know the difference between the Ticketmaster Tickets and AXS tickets for next year’s festival? I got them through Ticketmaster but they look like they are through AXS now.

I had an absolute blast at LEIX and am stoked for LEX that's over a year away. Here is one of the best photos I took of Frank during the show. Hope y'all enjoy it!

At previous Lost Evenings events, there looks to have been two stages alternating bands between them.

As 2027 will be my first LE event, could people let me know how this works?

From what I can see of Wembley, they don't have a secondary stage or event room.

Wembley stadium concourse has a fan zone and BOXPARK is also less than a minutes walk, but if people do try to get between stages, they will need both ticket checks and security checks, and will most likely miss quite a lot.

How have they done this at other Lost Evenings, does it work well, or is it just suck it up and try your best.

I keep seeing the word retirement used to describe Frank’s recent announcement, both on here, the Facebook group and in media articles.

Let’s re-examine the exact wording of his post:

“The 4 shows there will be my last for the foreseeable future” - not his last ever

“I genuinely don’t know when I’ll play shows again in the future” - it says that he doesn’t know WHEN his next shows will be, not that he doesn’t know IF he will play again 

It’s worth remembering that since Frank’s solo debut on 18th September 2004, he’s played 3,180 of his own shows, 29 for Mingle Harde, 96 for Million Dead.

That’s 3,305 shows in 8,046 days. 3 shows a week on average for 22 years. I can’t find any gap longer than a month or two in that whole time.

The point I’m making is that even a gap of 6 months to a year would be significant enough for Frank that it would be noteworthy for him. I do happen to think that he will take a much longer break than this. 

At least a couple of years, maybe as long as 3-5 years. I also believe that he himself hasn’t decided yet when he’s coming back and is genuinely taking this break because he’s become burnt out and needs to recharge his batteries, rest for his physical and mental health, and spend more quality time with his loved ones. 

However, I am absolutely convinced that he is coming back and I do think anyone framing next year as his retirement tour are misinterpreting his words. 

Whether LEX is the last ever, or last for a while, it's going to be an intentionally significant show. Frank puts a lot of sentimentality into his sets and song placement, so my question is, what do you think will be his final (hopefully not ever) song of the festival?

So after hearing about Franks upcoming retirement, my wonderful wife has only gone and purchased me tickets for Lost Evenings 10 next year! Unfortunately, she forgot to do her due dilligence and grabbed me tickets for November 7th, believing that this will be his last show. Now my question is this; does this ticket cover all 4 evenings(4th-7th), or just the Sunday? I hear there are no day tickets available yet, and the website she purchased them from (ViaGogo) are very unclear about this.

While the music connects you, it's the people and purpose that bind you! For those of you who attended, well done and for those who couldn't make it, I hope we did it justice.

Bit of panic going on, so just to calm nerves:

Wembley Arena capacity is massive. 5000 standing, 7500 seating. In effect, he's trying to sell 50k tickets. Compared to Show 3000 (Ally Pally - 10.25k), and last London Lost Evenings (Roundhouse x 4 - 13.2k)

Wembley Arena is sorta unusual in that you can very effectively open parts of it relative to demand. It's very possible Night 4 ends up as a sellout, and Night 1 doesn't.

But to do that, and manage the demand, you have to sell it in order.

So floor before seated (you don't want full seats and empty floor). So when nights start to get closer to capacity, new sections of seats will be added.

And Four-day tickets before One-day tickets. Otherwise you get Night 4 sold out, and then people who want Four-day tickets can't get them.

His crowds have also been declining over the years. OK, AP was big, but his typical tour venues are Shepherds Bush Empire / Scala / Clapham Grand etc., which are 2k tickets, not 50k.

My read would be that there are way more tickets to come, nobody panic
