This means that the long-anticipated gigs at Hampton Pool, 'Under the

London concert ticket-holders for Procol Harum:
For the avoidance of doubt, ticketholders for the BtP event at Stamford
Bridge in July will all receive e-mails about refunds (SeeTickets is
already on the case).
The Hampton Pool concert is under entirely separate management, and
we’re advised that their ticket-holders will receive a notification in
coming days … so please sit tight as they work on it!
