Thanks - but not quite there yet, for the showing on the 27th Oct at 9.00pm in Cambridge Arts, the website advises it requires another 14 to confirm that they will attend and then they will show it. So, if this message could go out to all Cambs and Bedfordshire folks it'd be appreciated. Cheers

Argh, Cambridge Arts Picturehouse has now sold out for 18th Oct, but has got booked to see film on 27th....seems it requires though another 30 people to buy tickets, so c'mon the Cambs and Bedford soulies, lets get this showing on the 27th Oct filled. Cheers

Hi Jayne Welcome to the wonderful illogical world of PRS. My company promotes and produces concert all over trhe UK, mostly outdoors, for which we have to apply for a range of licenses and also advising the PRS about our concerts. The easiest comment I would make is that if it is a bona fide venue you are booking they will (and should) have a PRS annual license, so in which case they will pay an agreed annual fee which would have taken into account amount of events held, size of venue V dancefloor. To show the illogicality of it all, we promote a range of concerts, so this year we will promote Diana Ross and will have to pay 3% of ticket turnover to PRS, yet when I promote classical with a live orchestra it raises to 4.7%! Except if we use out of copyright (over 80yrs) pieces, which then reduces those pieces out of the formula. So, as you can see quite complex, but I'm sure you're fine if a regular hiring type venue, and if unsure just ask to see their PRS sticker. Hope this assists. Mark

Just an update that tickets are flying off the shelf for this concert. If you like Diana Ross, then this is the concert for you, her only UK open air concert this year. Our license is fixed, so buy tickets now before we sell out. National advertising starts in 2 weeks, so that will take up the rest of the allocation. Having spoken to a lot of SS members, looks like a large contingency coming to see this superstar.

Count me Dave, I'll be there.

Sounds like a good one Dave....see ya later

Two ticket prices:- Golden Circle £75 and Gen Admission £45. Tickets only went on sale yesterday and 20% of Gold Circle tickets gone already. Hope to see you there.
