David Gilmour's management have confirmed that they have been able to release some extra tickets for London's Royal Albert Hall concert on his "On An Island" tour, for production reasons. They will be going on sale via the Royal Albert Hall Box Office only, at 9AM on Monday 27th February.

There are tickets for every night (May 29th, 30th and 31st) in the 'choir' section of the stage, so will be behind the musicians – a unique viewpoint. A few (possibly 30 or so) for May 29th and 30th are in the Arena (in front of the stage), in Rows 13, 15 and 17.

Some of the tickets that have been released, has been due to the efforts of the venue's staff. They have been keeping a close eye on eBay, and invalidating tickets which have been on sale there. They have also been encouraging people with spare tickets to return them to the Albert Hall, instead of reselling them. This now means that more fans have an opportunity to snap up some tickets at a fair price.

Please note that their policy of searching eBay is still operational!

As mentioned above, the tickets are only available from the venue's box office - either by telephone, or via the internet. Their telephone number is 020 7589 8212 and staff will be available to take your calls from 9am. You can also visit www.RoyalAlbertHall.com to order, or to find out more details of the venue.

We hope this information gets to you in time for you to be ready at 9am on Monday morning, should you be after tickets - and the best of luck!
