Tour Tickets

[superval99]

What is the opinion of my fellow forumers, please, as to when the UK and Europe tickets will go on sale?  We are considering taking a holiday in September and as I missed the RAH presale due to being on holiday, it would just be my bad luck for it to happen again!  What do you think, should I take a chance and book a holiday?       Also, is it possible to still get good seats at the RAH now, or wait until nearer the concerts for cancellations, etc.   I would appreciate your thoughts!

Well, stop going on holidays then!  

Sorry, I believe the dates will be announced around the release date.

Thanks Nat, I realise it's a bit like asking "How long is a piece of string?" !

I'm going on holiday at the start of October, if the Edinburgh date hasn't gone on sale yet I'm just going to ask one of the kind AMIT members to get one for me, I'm sure somebody will be able to help us out Val.

I think it was the 05 tour, one of the forum members (I can't remember who) wasn't able to be online all the time as their wife was going into hospital, so they asked me to text them when the announcement about tickets came. I was of course happy to oblige.

If I'm here, dusty, I would be pleased to help you out!

Val, re the RAH tickets: firstly, the RAH pre-sale/sale was very early, almost a year in advance. I guess they tried to check out the demand on tickets? Secondly, the pre-sale had Arena A, B and C tix offered, so half of the arena for pre-sale, but later I figured out that some dear members got seats in Arena F etc. too. Hmm...Thirdly, my secret ticket dealer in London (don't ask me I won't tell you  ) told me that he won't get seats in Arena A or F at all. So, you can (only) hope for some returns or not taken guest seats.

I was having a similar holiday dilemma - and looked back at the times of the year the UK leg of the tour was - as I needed to book a holiday - so I

Thanks W/M and Martina - I must hope for the best!     Maybe nearer the time of the RAH concerts there will be some returns!  

My other problem is that we are going on holiday next year for three weeks from middle of June to beginning of July and I really hope that the UK and/or some European concerts fit in OK.   I feel a headache and panic setting in!

Hmm, didn't somebody say that the tour was starting in the US and therfore most of the Europe dates would be later?

When you take the tour logistics in consideration, MK cannot play one night in London and the next in Moscow. Usually he goes from south to north and then to east in Europe.

In 2001 for the STP Tour, he played in the US in May and then returned to UK and played 3rd, 4th and 5th June at RAH.  Next he went to the near continent, Holland, France, Germany.  He returned to UK for the rest of the UK dates 17th July - 21st July  and then returned to Europe for Scandinavia and Russia.  If it is the same plan for the GL tour, then it is OK for me, but if he continues with the rest of UK after RAH, it will be a tight squeeze!  OUCH!!

I've heard of a possible participation of Mark in the "Nuits de la Guitare" in Patrimonio (Corsica, France) in July 2010.
