Marky49,  Thanks for the seating chart for Temecula.  I was going to look  it up.  You are so LUCKY!!!!  I hope Row C won't be too far away from the stage. Any ideas how many feet away?  It' s too bad I didn't get the pit !   

knopfling, good to hear that you got your seat assignment sorted out.  You 'll be a row in front of me.  Cool.

Marky49 and knopfling, I'd love to get together before the show. It would be so much fun.  I'll work on organizing it.  There are few other fans in mk.com forum who are going to Temecula as well.  I'm still considering another gig in LA.

Hey Sweet, it would be great to meet you and others!

Sweetsurrender, we'll be flying in from London and staying for 10 days in LA. I'll be at the 2 nites in LA and Temecula. Never been there before, any advice on parking etc. as I'll be driving from Hollywood?
Due to the seating chart the theatre is small, I guess you'll be close to the stage too.

Way to go, Marky!  Best seats in the house!

Hi Marie,

Did you get your seat assignment for Santa Rosa yet?  I'll be in Row E.  to the side.

marky, I live in the East Bay, San Francisco area. All I can tell you is that LA traffic is a nightmare.  No matter what time of the day or night.  So, allow plenty plenty of time.   I'm pretty certain that I'll make my way to Pentages as well if not both nights, then one.  It just doesn't feel right to be so close yet not seeing Mark.  I'll talk to my friend.  If all goes well, I'll see Mark 5 nights straight !!!  Yeah !!! It's exciting even to just think about it.

Linda, are you going to Pentages gigs also? Absolutey love to meet up with all the fans.

[knopfling]

Sweet, I have a ticket for 1st Pantages and Temecula.

Temecula: Center Section, Row B, Seat 106
Los Angeles: Orchestra Section, Row BBB, Seat 102

L'il bit grumpy here.   I ordered Eugene tickets in the first two minutes, and stipulated that i needed a wheelchair access ticket for my husband.   The site didn't remember, and by the time the mistake was corrected, my tickets ended up in the very last row of the theatre.   Row JJ.    Had it been done right, we would have been in the second row.     I think I should get my money back on that one.     I'm not going to drive seven hours one way to watch a concert from that kind of distance, for top dollar prices.    Sigh.  

Two hours later:  Worser and worser.    Got worried and called the Santa Rosa theatre.   The assigned seats there aren't even wheelchair access at all!    So, it looks as if I'll be missing my first Mark Knopfler concert in a bajillion years.    I'm not usually a whiner, but this really sucks a rough rope.   
So guys, prolly no recordings from Eugene or Santa Rosa next year.

[ingridswing]

Not other words than: that sucks!!
Poor you, hope they can manage something for you!

[superval99]

I'm really sorry for you, Marie, I know just how upset I would feel if it happened to me.  I hope there is something that can be done to put things right.   

[Rollergirl]

very annoying, I know how you feel! (I can't take my son where I want because of a stupid Swedish rule)

I think we should contact Guy on this one, I don't think MK would be happy to hear about this.

Dear Marie, I am very sorry to hear about the seats. I would feel terrible also! When I was at a concert of Emmylou I remember a man in a wheelchair sitting in the aisle in front of the stage. Don't they have that possibility in those places?

Perhaps the management team of Mark can arrange something? It is rediculous when people in wheelchairs can't attend a concert! I keep my fingers crossed for you so you both can be at the concert.
