I would go and then leave... which I've done that many times, friendo.

Not to provoke or anything, but truly (and I say this with genuine Kraftwerk fanboy disappointment) doing this would have been very, very stupid at the Mexico shows. :(
The music was fantastic, as usual, and the setlists were changed up a bit from the first to the second night, but it could have really been just been the mannequins standing there with programmed iPods, for all I care, and the show would have been just as "exciting."
I never expected them to come across as so weirdly pointless and minor to experience in a live setting.

Tickets are normally personalized so you might have a problem there.

We struck lucky for Nottingham, using the venue's own website. It was down for the first 20 mins, then miraculously came back to life, after Ticketmaster / See / Ents 24 were all saying "sold out".

When did you get yours? I was trying to buy tickets for either Glasgow or Edinburgh from 10am and it seemed like they sold out right away :(

yeah, i was trying to get tickets for glasgow and they were all gone by 10:02!

A pal of mine emailed me at 10.17 am to say he'd got them - he went through the Concert Hall website, just like Mike, so I guess that was the way to go.
I'm sorry that people will miss out on the chance to see them - and I hate to think what greedsters are going to try and resell tickets for - but also very pleased they're not playing an enormodome like the Hydro.

suspect a UK arena tour would have been v much undersold unless it was like two dates. their popularity is prob being exaggerated by (a) everyone who wants to go having 24/7 internet access and (b) the % of tickets going straight to tout gangster scum sites

This was way less stressful than for Tate Modern, when I didn't get through on the phones until 4pm, the sole website having irretrievably crashed in seconds. Many hundreds of calls, but totally worth it in the long run.

Nine nights at the Walt Disney Hall here in May - one night for each album + a finale https://www.laphil.com/events/performances/2912/2024-05-24/kraftwerk
It's been 15-16 years since I've seen them last (Florian was still there), but I kinda want to see this - The Disney Hall's acoustics are very very good.

I think I still have my 3D glasses from seeing TEE at the Disney concert hall. It was a real good show. This is tempting.
