We've all been waiting for this announcment for well over a year and now it feels like its all been taken from us!!! [/quote]

Hi Siobhain

I've personally been waiting for this announcement for the last 20 years

[siobhanb]

That's the same length of time I've been a fan but never got to see him play live. I almost gave up!!

Oh Harriet... don't panic... I think 2 x 12,000 tickets means you'll be OK.... the fact that there's all this radio promotion & stuff going on means that the promoters aren't that confident that all the tickets will sell.... keep calm.... (I'm a fine one to talk, Im panicking like mad!! )

[harriett]

I've been a fan that long too Siobhain, only just after he played here last - bad timing or what, story of my life
Not being choosy now but I had always envisioned seeing him in a small, intimate, smokey venue somewhere - alas that won't be happening for me either, I just seriously it doesn't piss with rain on the day, i'll have to get my mum to put out that Child of Prague statue she used to put outside the evening before she wanted good weather for our communions/confirmations/weddings etc

Hey!!! The Seating chart is up for IMMA on ticketmaster!!

[harriett]

Marvellous, just picking out my seat now - hehe, if it were only that easy

thanks Jacqueline

Hi Harriet,

For the last 20 years my only answer to the question "who would you do anything to see play live in concert?" has been Leonard Cohen. As the years went on I began to believe that it was never going to happen. The tour announcement has been a dream come true! Yes, it's not the best venue. Yes, the weather is a huge concern. Yes, he's 73 now and yes, the ever-expanding schedule will be demanding for anyone. The small, intimate venue will not happen but at this stage I DON'T CARE!!!! If/when I get tickets, there will be several child of Pragues fecked out the door - anything to make a slight improvement to circumstances!!!

[jacqueline]

Your welcome Harriett. Willie Nelson (whom i also love!!!! )is 75 and gives the best live concerts ,so it'll be no problem to lenny!!

[harriett]

LOL
I would sell my soul to the devil Siobhain, to see him, so i know where your coming from

Trying to find out if there is a Ticketmaster office in Limerick, whereabouts are you? I just don't trust this mobile broadband - if its a cloudy day i'm screwed - maybe i should put out that Child of Prague on Thursday night also, to ensure clear blue skies to at least allow me to get a signal and get online to purchase tickets .....

[jacqueline]

Im in kilkenny and will have friends and family outside two ticketmaster outlets while others will be online and on the phone!!! I know!!!!! Im mad!!! mad about leonard. Dont know Limerick too well but mab u could get a list of ticketmaster outlets on the site. Best of luck!

[siobhanb]

I'm in Swords, Co. Dublin, close to a Ticketmaster outlet. I'm thinking of dispatching the b/friend down to Ticketmaster while I hover over the computer! I'll have the phone on redial too just to cover all possibilities! I've even taken the day off work just to devote myself to this task!!!! Desperate or what!!!!!!?????

[jacqueline]

Good idea! No your not desperate! Just a lover of great words and music.

[tinderella]

Lol, what are we like.... i was worried sick about all the fecking announcements every where too. Hopefully what alan says is true and they are worried that they wont sell out... I only have this pc and me to get tickets , no back up at all.... so lets hope by noon on fri, we are all putting our smiley faces on this site..... It is a pity there was no presale ... ah well!

[harriett]

Well i've arranged hubby to take the kids to school so i can devote myself to the number 1 task of the day, not that i'd ever put anyone before my kids ..... but for Leonard, i'm afraid I have to

Hope everyone manages to have some sunshine in their day on Friday shortly after 9am ....

[siobhanb]

The way things have gone, the media would probably leak out pre-sale details too!!!! Best of luck everyone with your quest!!
