PRESALE TO UK CONCERTS

[cjs]

Haven't browsed the forum for a few weeks. Horrid horrid horrid day at work, decided to destress with a cup of tea and 5 minutes on the forum and UNBELIEVABLY found the link to Brighton pre-sale - venue is 10 minutes from my house. I AM ECSTATIC. I hope you have all have similar good fortune.

Two front row tickets for Brighton have found their way on to eBay at a Buy it Now price of £550. These HAVE to be from our presale:

That sucks I just clicked on that link though & it appears they are no longer available so must have been removed
Seems ebay now use a site called stubhub to sell secondary market tickets?
Lots available on there now Including people trying to sell cheapest £25 tickets for £69.
I hope nobody falls for it & with the size of the venues & scale of the tour they cant sell them!
Its frustrating & i guess it will never be able to be stamped out. I was gutted when i couldnt get tickets for the Manchester Opera House Shows a few years back on the day of sale but they appeared on ebay straight away for ridiculous sums.

As well as the people selling the tickets there are the sites making absolute fortunes in commissions. I remember a while back on tv in the UK there was an investigation into the practices of viagogo & seatwave. Its big business im afraid

I think the issue have been discussed here more than a lot in the past, I guess we just have to live with that.

On a different note, I find it interesting that they put the London concert on the same date on which Roger Waters performs in London.

re: Roger Waters Yes im sure people would want to see both. I saw the wall show live in Manchester a couple of years back & its a fabulous spectacle.

Why the hell is there NO SCOTTISH dates on this tour? We listen to Leonard, buy his CD's , so why not come here?
Leonard, you are one of the wittest song writers EVER so please, please please ( James Brown impression ) add a date or three for us, soon to be made independent, people who bloody built Canada!!!!!

Can someone please give me a link to the Bournemouth International Centre's seating plan? All the system will offer me is Block C, Seat E47 again and again and again, however often I tell it to search again, and without once showing me where that seat is.

Hi Hydriot

I have a seating plan right here. Block C, row E seat 47 is 5th row, right on the centre aisle so it's a great seat!

The detailed PDF seating plan is on the BIC website. Will edit to add a link just as soon as I find it.

Here you are:

Zoom in to see the seat numbers.

PS I have a third row seat for sale, just to the right of the centre aisle if you're interested!

Just booked for Brighton. First full family outing for my wife & I with my stepdaughter & her wife. LC crosses the generations quite nicely.

2 centre front tickets for the Leeds show this time:

Now what's the betting they came from our presale too? I certainly didn't manage to get centre front and I was pretty quick off the mark last week!

"Price: £375.00 - £375.00

Buy Offer Platinum Package
Experience the Leonard Cohen Platinum package with an inclusive pre-show three-course meal with wine package, plus a ticket in the first 10 rows.

- One ticket located in the first 10 rows
- Pre-show three-course meal with a half bottle of wine per person
- One commemorative tour laminate

I think we can see how generous our presale was when you consider that packages like this are on sale today.
With the package you get a 4th row seat at Leeds - a lot of forum members got front row seats.

The Brighton ticket person has got 2 lots on Ebay for front row

2 for £450 and 3 for £600

Lots of people looking - its probably all forum members in disgust.

[Carol58]

Sorry £460 not £450

[Mabeanie1]

Yes, she's just listed the second set of 3 since I made my first update post. She has already confirmed to Foxwood that she bought the tickets in our presale.
