Hi Pe,

I think it must be 14 x 27 metres.
We would be really close to each other, with 21 on 7 metres, don't you think ? ;-)

two blocks with 2 metres between them, that's about how large the central part of the stage is, i imagine ; that could give you an image inside your eyes of what the place would look like. to this, you add this picture of the sintpietersplein http://www.leonardcoheningent.be/nl/default.asp, + a warm summer evening, + leonard cohen as usual, at his best, and you get another perfect night, never to be forgotten.

nice dreams,

pe
Haha! Thanks for that Pe, but all what I was looking for is a photo of a similar outdoor concert where there was tribune. ;)

sorry, inne,

you're absolutely right ; i was getting nearer to dreamland, so my calculating was getting really bad.
as it's getting late again, now, i'd better stop before i'm talking too silly again

Don't know if someone asked this before... Does anybody know where could possibly Leonard and the band stay? I mean the Hotel, of course. :)

Sint Pietersplein in Ghent will be the perfect location to see a summer concert of LC.
There are more beautifull locations in Ghent but the sint pieterssquare is OK.
For me it is the 4th time that i can welcome Cohen in Belgium after seeing him on stage in Brugges, Brussels and Antwerp!
It will be hard to overdo Brugges! The minnewaterpark was such a beautifull location for an LC concert. Overthere we had THE best places to overlook the concert.
We even have had a little private concert during the soundcheck!
It is a real honour to have cohen again in our little country that is not more than 30000 sq. mètres big . Duing his last world tour cohen will perform 8 times in Belgium. He really must love the belgian audience!

In october it will probably be my last LC concert in Lille (France) if he doesn't come back to Belgium afterwards.

Hi,
Sherpa has (again) released some more good seats for the first two concerts. Golden seats, starting from row 3!
See http://www.sherpa.be/Ticket/Article.asp ... anguage=NL

Also, let me know if you are coming to one of the concerts and would like a nametag (see previous post).

Thanks for mentioning this, Maarten.
Today there are some Golden Circle tickets available for the third concert as well.
I wasn't very pleased with my 'only' 14th row seat, so I tried to buy another one, they offered me a 10th row seat, which wasn't quite what I had in mind, I went for two seats and now I have two 4th row tickets !
As I only need one, I intend to offer the other one (and the 14th row seat) for sale (but that's for another thread, I guess).

Tickets for all three concerts in Gent are again available on http://www.sherpa.be. Even "Gold Circle" tickets for Friday, Saturday and Sunday are again on sale.

So, if you intend to visit that beautiful city in August to see Leonard in that perfect setting here is your chance. Even a wide variety of hotels is still bookable through hotel booking sites like http://www.leonardcoheningent.be/en/pra ... vernachten. (edit by Wybe)
