Leonard Cohen Old Ideas Tour 2012 Official Program

This program was purchased on Dec.7, 2012 at the Cohen Concert in Ottawa. (See my post on World Tour 2012-2013; Ottawa Concert)

I believe this is the same program used in the European tour. It's fat and fantastic, tons of pictures including an actual "cheesecake" shot of the lazy bastard sans suit, young and arrogant and sexy.
There's not surprise, looking at this pic, that he was a real lady's man.

It also includes two pages of stickers! Stickers that I am truly dying to start sticking up all over my house. However I also purchased two silk scarves (1 as an Xmas gift) a tee shirt, a coffee mug and four lapel pins. Even though my sister paid for my ticket and train fare to and fro Ottawa, I have blown my modest freelance writer's budget on Cohen memorabilia.

So I'll sell it for $50.00 + postage.
Contact me and don't tell me it's overpriced because I already know that. I am not an overly motivated seller. In fact, I might change my mind in a day or two . . .

ps - my last Black Lace novel, "Sarah's Education" is making me a famous erotica author in UK/USA. Of course in Canada I'm a nobody. So if you read erotica, buy the book. Then I won't have to sell the program!

How much did you pay for it?

The programmes cost $20 in the US, probably the same in Canada.

Interesting post. We have a forum rule that tickets should not be sold at more than cost. Maybe we should have the same rule for tour merchandise. There are plenty of other outlets available for those looking to make a profit e.g. eBay.

I agree with Wendy.

I am also wondering if we allowed to post here to sell things we have from the 2012 tour merchandise?
I have a few things I bought but ended up with duplicates and have never used EBay and don't want to start.
If not its ok but if we are able that would be nice.
thanks

Thank you Wendy and mutti.

I didn't know about the ticket sales rule. It's a good rule. I did state clearly that my proposed payment for the program is overpriced. My original post is half tongue in cheek and half serious. I should never have bought all that merchandise at the concert but I could not help myself. The only thing I'm even somewhat willing to part with is the program but by posting it at such an inflated price I am pretty much guaranteeing that it won't be sold and that would make me happy.

I assumed this was the correct place to post things members are selling. If I'm wrong about that, I apologise.

It's fine with me if the powers that be want to take my post down. The last thing I want to do is offend anyone.

Back to sipping coffee from my cup o' longing.

ps - I get great joy from wearing my tee shirt, during this holiday season, with my hoodie unzipped just enough to display Leonard's somewhat scowling face. It seems to keep the crowds from pressing too close. Yay!

So I will offer you $20 for it.

Rodin,
May I ask why you will pay me for it rather than order it from the merchandise page? Just wonderin' . . .
