PARIS (June 18) NOW ON SALE
Re: PRESALE TO PARIS (June 18) NOW OPEN
At the Olympia we had seats 1 and 2 which we expected to be at the far end of the row. Much to our surprise we found ourselves right in front of Leonard's microphone. So you never know without a detailed seating plan... Good luck everyone!

Re: PRESALE TO PARIS (June 18) NOW OPEN
I give up for now
will not buy if I don´t know where I am going to sit
If later on anyone here wants to sell 2 very good tix (first 3 rows), I would be most willing to buy them
Jarkko, thanks a lot again
I imagine, it´s not much fun anymore, having close to everytime problems to solve with each presale, and reading complaints from members, though there is nothing you can do about ticketsellers, prices, seatmaps and so on...

Re: PRESALE TO PARIS (June 18) NOW OPEN
It seems impossible to find a reasonable seating chart. I looked up my Dylan/Knopfler tickets which were row 5 seats 58 and 59. We were way over on the left hand side but they were ok seats, actually. There were probably another 8 seats to our left. My guess, therefore, is that the seating starts with seat 1 on the extreme right looking towards the stage. The problem with omnisports halls like Bercy, of course, is that they change the seating arrangements depending on the event and the wishes of the promoter/artist.

Re: PRESALE TO PARIS (June 18) NOW OPEN
Oh dear - i was offered seats 1 and 2 row 4 which i rejected because i assumed they would be on the end of a very wide row . Great regrets if they end up being central.If i'd known that i would have gone ahead ! Again shows the need for us to help each other with seating plan research if possible before the presale . Ticket sellers who don't give a seating plan are letting down their customers .Caren wrote:At the Olympia we had seats 1 and 2 which we expected to be at the far end of the row.

Love those few sites where you can see all seats and choose exactly the unsold ones you want!
Jarkko continues to do a brilliant job though
Leonard's work resonates

anyone knowing where that might be?
Searching on French forums, I've find out that for Lady Gaga, porte X were front rows. So you must be in 8th row from stage.
From another forum I understand that 35 seat is around the center, so probably you are at Javier Mas bottom side.

just to clarify: I could have gotten those seats, but I did not accept them, did not want them.
so we´ll be in Paris only if someone is willing to sell us his seats in the first three rows.
congrats to all who have bought.

Re: PRESALE TO PARIS (June 18) NOW OPEN
So.. there seem to be 70 seats on each row being 35 in the middle.
From Paul Zagreb's post I gather that number 1 is on Javier Mas' side. Or, am I getting it wrong?
And there is also the fact that they change seating arrangements depending on the concert meaning that we can't know where we are without a plan.
Anyway, I've got row 2, seats 17/18 and I'm happy with that. Thank you, jarkko!

Re: PRESALE TO PARIS (June 18) NOW OPEN
I just found out that in Bercy, Portes O, P and F are the best ones, but they are counting the row in reverse
, so row 1 is upstairs (last row) and row 24 the first row 
"... O, P et F étant les meilleures , mais le truc c'est que les rang 1 et 2 sont tt en haut , et ceux d'en bas commencent à 24 ... 23 ...22 etc . Dc si tu es au rang 24 de la porte O génial, puisque c'est la première rangée.
...O, P and F are the best onces, but the catch is that rows 1 and 2 are the upstairs rows (last rows) and the downstair rows begin at 24 ..23..22.. etc. So if you are at row 24 porte O that's fabulous, because it is the first row
As for the parterre, there is no seating plan to be found, normally these are standing places.
Anyway, I prefer waiting for the rest of the tour in Europe, GENT ANTWERPEN OOSTEND please???, I have got already tickets for Oberhausen.
Good luck to all of you who go to Paris, hope you find good seats

There must be more than 70 seats in a row since we have ## 71 and 72 Porte x rang 2. Looks like the actual location might remain a mystery until we enter the venue.
Fingers crossed everyone has got good seats.

Re: PRESALE TO PARIS (June 18) NOW OPEN
There are 3 blocks in the "orchestra" seating (left, central and right facing stage).
Left block (Porte W) goes from 49 to 63 (from left to right).
Central block (Porte X) goes from 65 to 72, then from 1 to 7 (always from left to right facing stage).
Right block (Porte Y) goes from 10 to 24 (from left to right).
Don't know about Porte Z and Porte O.
No way to find these informations online.

I wrote it on a paper last time I went to a Bercy gig with a seated orchestra. I'm sorry I didn't post it earlier but I could no longer find this paper this morning...basecamp wrote:Sounds good!

Anyway I didn't buy tickets for this time. I paid 200€ for the Olympia and it was already a lot for a theatre seat. But 177€ for an arena venue really is excessive!!!!

Now that would be the surprise of the month, Olive. Wow...
I expected those seats to be to the far end of a row.
