I BOUGHT MY TICKETS for DP's November concert at the Hammersmith Apollo by mail. Got a letter today which says that the gigs have been shifted to Brixton "due to a long-running theatrical production".
It says :
"To exchange your tickets...return them to the Apollo whereupon we will simply swap them on your behalf. This can be done in person or by post - sending them with a stamped self-addressed envelope to Deep Purple Exchange, Labatt's Apollo, Queen Caroline Street, Hammersmith, London W6 9QH. We will return to you, within 14 days, unreserved standing tickets for the Brixton Academy on the relevant date(s).
If you are unable to attend the show(s) at the Academy, please return your tickets, either in person or by post, for a full refund. If you paid by credit card, we will refund your account direct. The closing date for refunds is Tuesday January 2nd, 1996."
That's it. I guess if you bought your tickets direct at the Apollo (and therefore they won't know who/where you are) you could do this. If you got your tickets from an agency, I'd suggest you check with the agency first. If you want to check with Hammersmith the Box Office phone number is 0181-741-4868.
See you all in Brixton!
