Full Meltdown lineup


Tickets for all of the newly announced shows will go on sale to Southbank members at 10 am on Friday April 13th. General sale at 10 am on Monday April 16th.

Was asked what the best strategy is for getting tickets for Curaetion-25. I'm thinking go and camp out at the box office, have a phone to try calling in, and another device to try buying online, all at the same time. :)

Seriously, though, you saw what happened in the first wave of ticket sales. This won't be pretty, and A LOT of fans are going to be disappointed. It's a small show and demand will be extremely high.

Also, if you're not a Southbank Centre member, your chances of getting tickets is even lower. Almost non-existent. Hate to say it, because you shouldn't have to pay that extra fee, but it's true.
