11 songs and an hour would be more like it but would still be more than happy to turn up if the set is shorter. I hope to be there, I have purchased two tickets above face value but till they are in my hand I'm not counting chickens. I just noticed too that the tickets are starting to be sent out so if anyone receives theirs it would be of help if they posted a photo. There is a picture of the ticket on the Spanish web site elosp.comThanks for posting the link to the photo, helps to know what it looks like when picking up ...wouldn't like to end up with a forgery.

cant see bev bevan being there...he doesnt even refer to elo these days, its all about the move for him....cant see jeff offering any olive branches...i think he is a bit mean to be honest...i love his music but reckon the way he has handled things isnt the best way of doing stuff...im sure someone somewhere will point out its his music etc etc....but he relied on some great musicians to make it happen and its just a little sad to see jeff almost bitter about it all...

Tickets are starting to come down in price and if your lucky can even pick them up at face value. I paid way over the odds for mine as I just couldn't take the chance. Check the comments at the bottom of the SeeTickets site and also Gumtree have some at face value.

I wonder if Jeff might do the iTunes Festival, there are still two acts to be announced in September. www.itunesfestival.comAll acts have now been released, no sign of Jeff playing

No one really knows, I'm pretty certain Richard will be keyboards. And my gut feeling is that it will be the same band as BBC children in need of Gary Barlows/Take That live musicians. I would love to see Bev on drums but I will be really surprised if he is. Bookmakers have 1000/1 on Rosie been on vocals! Looks like your hunch may have been correct. Mick Wilson has just tweeted a photo with the caption "Back in the bosom of the TT band for Jeff Lynne /ELO rehearsals.... nice....". Mick a member of 10cc was one of the guys on stage with Jeff and Richard at the Children in Need Rocks last year.
