Tickets are selling slowly and steadily. I guess it will get close with the last few hard to shift seats not sold.

Atmosphere came across well on telly. Empty seats were obvious but not really a focus of attention. Bedwetting about never living it down seems a bit over the top now. Virtual chip paper already... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
