Which London date to pick? (and why)

What are the pros/cons (if any?) in choosing the 1st, 2nd or 3rd performance? I can only afford to go to one!

Mon 15th Dec
Tues 16th Dec
Weds 17th Dec

Which date will you pick and why?

They're all annoying from a "I have to be at work on the day and the day after" point of view. So im thinking going for the last one.

Last night of London, last night of the tour, nothing left to prove. Out with a bang!

Originally I was thinking the Monday on the basis that James is prone to colds and what if the Tuesday and Wednesday get cancelled for this, or any other, reason? Then I was thinking the Wednesday because it's the last night of the tour and therefore more special and they might trash the place which would be cool to see. But then, another consideration is the state of James' voice by the end of the tour. So much to weigh up. I would personally be over the moon to see any of the dates.

Must be a real slog being a band and having to do more than one night in the same place. I'd be thinking "ugh, got to do this twice again" on the first day.

Idk, maybe they get more comfortable with a venue being there a few days.

You'll probably find there's a choice when the actual sale goes on.

Bit of an embarrassing question, didn't know where to put it so I'll ask here

Does anyone have an 'invisible' disability, ie not in a wheelchair, look perfectly normal but still need some form of care? How do things work out at gigs because I have only been to one since getting diagnosed? The Roundhouse have said I could bring someone with me which is amazingly generous but I feel bad about it, because that ticket could have gone to someone else who really wanted to go.
I am also a bit uncomfortable because I can appear totally normal, and people may think I'm taking the piss out of the disabled a bit.
Is the Roundhouse all standing or are there seats etc? This is another worry and don't know what to do about it
Any advice would be most welcome
This is all assuming I am successful in getting a ticket tomorrow of course

I actually dealt with an invisible disability for about a year, and I used the disability options available to me. Of course people confined to wheelchairs were a bit amazed as I seemed perfectly fine. All I can say is: don't worry about it, and just have a good time!

I'd assume that the band would prefer to play the same venue two nights in a row because they'd get to relax and mooch about on the second day instead of having to travel to the next venue.
They'd be playing the same songs again wherever they were playing

I also have unseen disabilities and spent years not getting assistance for them, until my ex-partner encouraged me to speak up. Go for any form of assistance you can! Funnily enough, we have been dealing with this very thing today (the lovely Finn has been making some enquiries at the Roundhouse). If anyone tries to have a go at you about it, and if you feel comfortable disclosing your condition, just have a word with them about it if you can. You are bound to get some hateful looks, but in the end, those people don't live in your body. Haters gonna hate - ignore, gracefully!

Thank you everyone, I got a ticket for the 17th
Unfortunately it was a standing one, only realised afterwards that seated were only available direct from the Roundhouse
