Somewhat delayed, the Premium Packages for the UK leg of the Roger Waters The Wall Live tour have now finally been released and are available to purchase now at Ticketmaster.co.uk. Whilst they might initially seem expensive at £220, it's not such bad value after all, bearing in mind the position of the seat, and the package of memorabilia (exclusive to these Premium Packages) that is included.

These packages have been issued in the US now for those who bought the Premium Package for early shows there, and they've already proved pretty popular (not least when compared to the individual selling prices of similar items on the merchandise stalls).

The package (click thumbnail, left, for the US configuration, which we expect to be the same in the UK) includes:
• One premium, reserved ticket located within the first 15 rows of the stage or side stage
• Specially Designed Concert Shirt
• Limited Edition Tour Poster (numbered, exclusive to ticket package)
• Official Tour Program
• Commemorative Laminate
• Collectible Pin Set
• Exclusive Roger Waters - The Wall - Tour Gift (Silver Brick Keyring)

Front row tickets are, at time of writing, available for all the Manchester shows through this package. Our thanks to Nick Waterfall for the info...
