THe Birmingham sales are a bit sparse. The prices aren't cheap but Symphony Hall is a great venue acoustically and Bernadette is a legend who doesn't play many UK gigs. A lot of West End tickets are a lot more than £52 to £62 to be fair.
If they discount some then people who have paid full price would moan or want a discount too. But there are rows totally free in the upper circle so moving them down a price bracket could well work.

She didn't come close to selling out last time she played the UK. We found loads of good seats on the day for £15, and 2for1 offers too, so I wouldn't rush to book. Friends who paid full price were mighty pissed off.

She's marketed a little too much in the prestige price bracket when in fact she is only niche interest here (much as I love her) and would struggle to fill these large-ish venues - especially outside London.
She's hardly a household names.

She's hardly a household names. People get very excited when other female Broadway stars come over for a concert but those might be younger names.

Lots of side stalls at £49.50 available for The Lowry. Doesn’t seem to have sold as well as her last Manc gig at the opera house.

Amazing to think she is 71 years old now, she could legit easily pass for 20 years younger. If she has had some "work" done then it was a great investment. Julie Christie openly admitted she'd had a face lift but likewise it knocked years off her and she looked amazing afterwards.
Her Birmingham gig has had full page adverts in a lot of Birmingham theatre programs apparently too.

^Yes,there was a prominent ad in the Les Mis programme, but it hasn’t sold well,I believe.

Not sure where to look. Thanks From the Symphony Hall website - there’s back of the circle for £22 or back of the stalls for £32, cheap considering those were originally priced at £50!

There are some good seats still available at Symphony Hall and the sound there is so good that it doesn't matter where you sit from that point of view. But £22 to £32 to see a legend like her looks very good value.

But £22 to £32 to see a legend like her looks very good value. Probably shouldn’t ask this, but will be cheeky anyway: do you think the prices at Symphony Hall will drop even further if I wait, since there are hundreds left? I think they’ve closed off the Grand Tier completely.

I think they’ve closed off the Grand Tier completely. The concert is under two weeks away, I don't think THSH do standbys unless you are certain category - pensioner, student, disabled etc. But they might drop them again. All I can suggest is that if you want to go, maybe plan to do so but keep an eye on the prices in case they drop further. I'd figure there will still be decent availability if you went and paid just beforehand.

Such a shame, I was really looking forward to getting to see her live. My ticket was great value too.

I wonder if this is a case of Miss Peters not wishing to play to half empty theatres.

Does the insurance policy cover poor sales? Shame as I was hoping for a last minute bargain but wasnt prepared to pay the London prices. At least I got to see her at the RFH some years ago and it was very memorable.

I had the odd experience of trying to see her in Annie Get Your Gun and then a few years later in Gypsy, and both times being told at the box office when trying to buy tickets that she was unwell and if I was particularly trying to see her, I should try the next day. Both trips were a week long and I eventually saw Annie without her but not Gypsy. I also was unable to see her as replacement in A Little Night Music on a later trip but that was not down to anything on her part. So you see we keep missing each other, perhaps I can appeal for free tickets citing lifelong disappointment!! I. Am. Cursed.
I would like to apologise to everybody that booked a ticket to see Ms Peters as clearly once I bought a ticket, the tour was doomed!

I do wonder if again it was a case of over ambition, Patti LuPone who is arguably better known played the Leicester Square Thetare, others go for Cadogan Hall.
Meanwhile, kudos to The Lowry for being so prompt with their notice of cancellation, 10 days away. I have tumbleweed in my inbox from The Lyceum for Monday!
