UK SPARE FACE VALUE TIX AVAILABLE/WANTED

[purpletrousers]

OK, owning self-interest here aside, a suggestion:

When i had a number of spares for the Barbican Glass/Cohen gig, i had to search through loads of different threads to find who first said they didn't manage to get tickets and wanted, to try + offer fairly (kind of thing) as it was a bit overwhelming trying to do it another way. I'm sure many folks will have already made arrangements/deals with their on/offline friends.

Maybe if i do well today and get spare London/Manchester that I don't need (e.g. My wife is so appauled by the price although wants to go, may not + a big LC fan-friend not sure if he can get timne off work to travel) beyond one person I said could ask me already (who won't need them if they succeed too), I could offer them to next person below in the thread.

Does this make sense - i.e. a bit of an organised waiting list??? I'm not suggesting everyone trys to buy more than they need btw. + Of course i support http://www.scarletmist.com as an alternative venture to shift/get tickets without touts

Similarly can i be number one on the list??!!

SPARE: none yet?!
WANTED :I'm trying for London and Manchester (the Friday) today if I fail and anybody gets spares. Please!!!

Jim I have just got two tickets for the O2 £114 plus booking etc

I asked for best available and have just found out from the seating plan they are in the Gods Block 420 A935-936

I am asking ticketmaster if they will cancel the transaction because heights scare me but if they won't cancel them if anyone wants to buy at face value let me know

I phoned at 9 and got through straightaway and the best available are crap

Paula, you could try http://www.seetickets.com/ and see if you can get some lower down - they're advertising lower tier ones still. (Not sure if that's useful, but hopefully it is.)

If I get 2 good Manchester tix my 2 good Dublin ones will be spare.

[Paula]

Thank you Marna - I now have two on the lower tier and two in the Gods

So if anyone wants the gods ones at face value let me know

I managed to get some mediocre (BUT GOT SOME!!!!) tickets for Manchester on the Friday, so now am stuck with my insurance policy of poor London seats too (am probably open to passing them on if anybody needs) maybe i'll go and convince My wife he's worth it....

hope everyone got something!

Here! Here! A very kind soul suggested that I posted my sad sad story here too, so here it is:

Sorry if I bother you.


I´m a brazilian woman that will be visiting Europe in june, me and two friends of mine. I´m absolutely crazy for Leonard Cohen and not even in my most creative dreams I would imagine I could have the chance to see him live. Well, now it´s when it starts to get sad.
I was almost reaching my tickets, feeling them touching my hands, when I had to validate my credit card password to make international purchases. Well, my bloody internet bank account wouldn´t help me and I couldn´t fix my password problem til the tickets were all sold out. Oh yeah, I have to say that my travel plans are all arranged, including flight tickets, so the only concert I could go was the one in Manchester on the 17th.

If you, by any chance, bought 3 (or 2 or 1) tickets for this day (maybe you bought also for another concerts and would like to make this person so far so happy, who knows?) and would be so WONDERFULLY KIND to sell them to me, I would be eternally grateful. Sure I can´t afford to pay the prices these people who bought the tickets JUST to sell them again are asking for, so the only thing I could think about was to come here and beg you.

Please, consider it and sorry for the language mistakes, my english is a bit rusty. My e-mail addresses: lucianasanches@uol.com.br / lms10@bol.com.br

Thank you
Luciana

Summary: I need 3 (1 or 2 wouldn´t be bad as well) tickets for the Manchester concert in June17th. Unfortunately, it can´t be any other date.
Thanks a lot.
