EDIT: Found a good home for it, it's gone.

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the Tuesday 4th June show at the Royal Albert Hall as work are sending me to Singapore. I have one (1) spare ticket in the 5th row centre stage if anyone is interested. Arena F/5 19. £45 (face value) or nearest offer.
