I think we got tickets for Bournemouth (and my MK wife did notice it went on early and I think got them at around 10.20), Brighton and three of the RAH shows. I'm the one he tends to say, "Let's have a night off occasionally", especially as MK so rarely varies his set list. That said, he's gonna have a lot of songs on PRIVATEERING from which to choose, so perhaps a bit more variation is in the offing. Maybe we'll try for one or two more when the tickets go on regular sale.

I think we may have got things a little mixed up and have extra tickets for one of the RAH shows but so it goes. I guess we'll be able to work something out with someone, somewhere along the line.

We've not really considered shows in mainland Europe this time but are now turning our minds to one or two of the BD-MK shows in the States.  We shall see.

Lots of AMITers there at the first night:  :o
Pottel, LE, Ingridswing, Knopflerized,Superval,Markywes49, BBB, irisrose, Dustyval, JeroenVG
and Fieneke and there might be some more...

We should really consider group hug and making lots of fotos - this will be a great meeting! Lots of people I will meet for the first time! And also some
familiar faces... Nice! Looking forward to it. Will probably arrive on Sunday so the Monday is available for a lot of socializing!  :D

LE

Looks really cool to be there, but for me 1 june fits better. I had loved to be there too :-\ Hope to see a bunch of these people at the Amsterdam (Knopflerized, Ingridswing, Pottel?, BBB, JeroenVG, superval?) or maybe some German (LE?) show.

I can confirm that the rooms in my house are "booked" by Knopflerized, Pottel, BBB and of course myself.
JeroenVG will be there too I heard. Superval doesn't like standing, but who know she changes minds because I told her that early entry saves a lot of waitingtime, so feet will hold on longer ;-)

Haha Ingrid - I did add that it was not because I'm old and feeble, well I can't deny I'm old, but I'm certainly not feeble - I just like to have a nice relaxing meal before the show and then go to my seat without rushing!   ;D

Sorry for being incomplete. I am not suggesting youare old! You aren't because I know it. When you're old you will not travel around Europe to see MK anymore ;-)

Thanks Ingrid!  I still feel young and fit, even though a certain birthday number tells me something else!   ;)

What a messages, I have a hard time catching up with everything! LOL  ;D

Dutchessy it is a pity that we won't meet in London, but Jans and I will be in Amsterdam, so we can meet there!

Dear Val, you might be older then I am, BUT you can be proud! You even could run harder then me in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam a few years ago! Whaauuww one moment you were standing next to me and the other you and your hubby were gone! ......Ariba, Ariba, just like speedy Gonzales!
...........I also would love to see you in Amsterdam. As Ingrid told we don't have to be there standing the whole midday like other years, because we have now ticket of MK.com and can enter the HMH a little while before other fans do...... But I understand your decision! 

Fieneke
If you are good to other people, most of them are good to you too!

Who are these people and how did they manage to get general tickets for RAH so early (at vastly inflated prices) ??

Hey guys, does MarkKnopfler.com send any physical mail or confirmation for tickets ordered online? Because I have problems entering the shipping address because of my country, the mail would never reach me.

The point is that for me it would be perfect if everything was online, and I would just get the tickets at the concert day at the venue. Otherwise, if they do send the tickets or some kind of confirmation code physically, it would never reach me. It's a bit complicated, I know, but I have to attend a show next year, and for me is hell to plan everything. :D

Just merged the second newer topic that was posted in the MK discussion forum with this one. Posts are sorted by date.

Thanks Dan; that makes it easier to follow!   :)

With regard to the MK/BD tour I just thought I'd throw in my 2 bits:
I can think of several good reasons why Mark took the opportunity to team up with Bob - not the least of which are the exposure, including the various promotional benefits, and the logistical convenience of touring with another major artist.

They are playing within walking distance of my house.  I have that day, and the following day off work.  I won't be going. 

I honestly can't justify paying to see Mark do a truncated set that will be about half the length of his recent solo shows - and at the same time knowing that a significant chunk of my money went to Bob Dylan, who I most definitely do NOT want to see. 

In my opinion, Dylan is an artist best appreciated on record.  Mark Knopfler on the other hand is an artist who is truly a joy to see live, and arguably even better than on record.  But I'd prefer to have the full meal deal - not just the snack pack. 
So I'll take my chances and skip this one.  I'm quite happy waiting for the next MK solo tour of North America - even if that's after his next album comes out in 2015 or later.
And in answer to the obvious question, "Well what if Mark doesn't tour again?"   I'm okay with that too.  I've seen him a few times over the years and I have some wonderful memories - and of course, many great recordings to enjoy.

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

(But I am still a bit envious of all of you in Europe who will get to see the "Privateering" tour in 2013!  Hopefully there will be some officially sanctioned live recordings made available again!)
