huh, where is that from, not on the official site.
really early for us dates, don't you think??
-
those all announced or all dates at all?? so the tour starts in DC??
-
no radio city??
-
The United Palace Theater would be one of the best NYC venues to see MK in if this is true. I had front row seats for Jackson Browne there late last year and the place is just beautiful inside. All of the architecture has a "neo-classical" gold type look to it. Pictures don't do it justice. It opened as a theater back in 1930, then it was used as a church, and now it is used as both a church / concert venue. Acoustics aren't that bad either.
Anyway, it would be cool if these dates are true, as a MK show there would really be something.

It is official from http://www.myspace.com/markknopfler/
The markknopfler.com team sleeps.
Why early? North America, next Europe. Did you listen to any MK interview?
-
Well, last time the US tour dates were released fairly late (early 2008 if I remember correctly), and they weren't all released at once. Anyway, this looks official.
Interesting that he is playing much smaller venues this time:
NJPAC, Newark, NJ = 2,750 seats [2001, 2005, 2008]
Count Basie Theatre, Red Bank, NJ = 1,543 seats [2009]
-
Yes, was just about to say, don't recognise these venues from previous tours.
Smaller venues in the US, bigger venues in the UK. Hmm.
-
the orpheum, tower theatre,. ..lots of olden goldies from the straits days....

I would prefer to visit the smaller venues to see MK. Believe me, I live in town with 15 000 000 (official) / 25 000 000 (unofficial) nationality, and I hate a big venues.

where is it you live ustas??

I would too and I'm happy with the venue selection. After all that though, I just realized that the northeast dates fall at the absolute worst time next year for me, and in fact I may not be able to go to any of them. Go figure.

I'll guess - Istanbul?

Russia. (my guess)
-
where is it you live ustas??
Moscow, Russia. Sometimes StocKholm, Sweden.
-
huh, sometimes??
-
huh, sometimes??
Please- non-"hah". Yes, sometimes, just it is job (trying to set a new airline here).
-
huh is not hah ustas, it means "what, i do not understand" sort of.
i would never, EVER laugh with you. you are a valuable member of our forum.
-
Sorry, perhaps I did not understand "hah". Do not worry please.
-
it is your avatar that scared me...lol
-
I haven't seen him in Eugene Oregon before. I'll choose that and Portland over Oakland. Traffic into Oakland is too much for me. I'm still hoping for a date between Eugene and Oakland to be in Jacksonville. With the early dates, will most of the US dates be indoors? That may be why Berkeley and Jacksonville are out. Berkeley in late June is cool, at the best. In April it would be icicle city.

You know where that avatar is from, don't you Pottel? ;)

d'oh! As soon as I read your post and thought about it for a second I realized...it's the guy from the Heavy Fuel video.

You got it!!! ;D ;D Randy Quaid is the actor in the Heavy Fuel video

I've already checked out the seating chart for Paramount Theatre Oakland and Well Fargo arts center in Santa Rosa. I am 15 minutes away from Oakland and about 2 hrs to Santa Rosa. I want to be the first person to get the best seat on Monday on MK.com. Any tips on what to do?
Paramount Theatre seats around 3,000
Santa Rosa 1,800
I can't resist the temptation of checking out Temecula Ca Pechaga Casino and Resort venue seats around 1,200. A beautiful Casino Resort and what can be better venue for GET LUCKY Tour ! Who knows MK and the band might try their lucks at the casino and I might get LUCKY and bump into them somewhere. :) Or even just to think that I with my best friend (hopefully I can convince her to come along) are spending the night in the same hotel with the band and the possibility of meeting them is great is enough to make me want to take that 6 hrs drive there. So, April 13, 14 and 15 for me.
-
Did anyone noticed that NASHVILLE IS NOT in the US tour this time?
It looks quite shorter that latest US tour, not so many Canadian venues
-
I'll be seeing Marky at a theater very near me-Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for the presale!
Woo Hooo!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
I am going to Oakland Paramount Theatre, Santa Rosa and possible Temecula CA a casino resort hotel. (what can be better venue for GL Tour) Just the thought of being in the same hotel with MK and the band is enough to excite me. Hope I get LUCKY and bump into him somewhere in the casino ? Or may be I'll think of a better way to meet up with MK and the band ?

whoops...it is really strange...MK plays even smaller venues in US/Canada (and he always played there in smaller venues then in the most of Europe). When he played in Prague in 2008, the gig was located to T-Mobile Arena (I suppose there were about 8,000 people in the audience), so really no "little" venue, and the 2010 concert should be in O2 arena - it is even much bigger then T-Mobile Arena!! :o

I got my tickets! Holy crap! At $344.44 USD (for 2) they are not cheap! Hope my hard earned $$$ got me front row seats!

Did you tell them who you were ::) :o
For $344 bucks you'd want to be sitting on Danny's lap at least :o :o
Nice to see you back BTW 8)

Holy crap, that is not cheap.

Anyone in the SF or LA area on our forum? Can you get in touch with me, please?

Many thanks, Dusty. Will email him.

$344 :o OUCH!
That's very expensive, we're not used to that kind of price. Are the European gigs that expensive too?

UK tickets were about

Weird, they sell already Seattle (Presale starts Sep 14 at Noon PDT) and Portland (Presale begins Monday, September 14 at 10:00 AM PDT).
-
Perhaps, for that price, a box-set is thrown in! ;D
-
Just saw this too...
Base Price: $160.00 USD
wtf? And that's only for 1 ticket! This will absolutely be the most expensive show I've been too.
Oh, that's right, welcome to Mark Knopfler Inc. ;)

Or a box lunch....

Think I'll give N America a miss! :( The taxman comes first!

MK ticket prices are ridiculously cheap. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. What do you guys mean by prices being high in the US? For what MK gives the fans in terms of joy and always spetacular performances, he is worth much more than that. I'm afraid. I was prepared to pay around $300-400 per ticket. Not that I am loaded with money, but MK shows are Money For Everything. I 'm willing to sell evrythignI have just to see him. Ha..Ha... ;D
Marky49, please PM me. I'm in the SF bay area. I am going to Oakland , Santa Rosa and Temecula.
-
I thought that Santa Rosa was pretty expensive. Eugene is only 2/3 of that.

Really? Only a year ago, I paid half the price of what I'm about to pay tomorrow, in the same venue, for what was an arguably higher profile act. And these seats were front row, obtained at random a day before the show from TM. So I didn't buy them at a discounted rate either...

I wanted to go there too, but I got no pre-sale tix so I don't fly. Simple.
-
Just a short and hoepfully helpful warning- all pre-sale tickets are will call only. So if life happens, and you suddenly can't make it to the show, you're SOL on your $4000 ticket purchase.
-
And one last comment on this...
Ticketmaster put some of the MK US tour dates up in advance, even though some of the regular on sales haven't started yet. And what do you know, if you click on any of the events that are currently being sold only through the MK.com presale and look at the "ticket prices" tab, all of the prices show $0. A mistake? I think not. I guarantee you the face value of tickets sold on Ticketmaster will be cheaper than the "base price" of an MK.com pre-sale ticket. And if you "get lucky" on TM, you'll be in almost the same seats!
Just felt like pointing that out.
-
I ordered my tickets to 3 shows and the prices were all different. For 2 tickets, they were: $300 L.A., $252.44 Wash. DC, and $221.00 Upper Darby, PA (Tower).
We have to wait for 6 weeks to find out our seats. Can't wait!!!! :-*
-
crazy prices imho.
we hardly pay more then
-
don't forget, he does not have the gigantic circus to be payed for like U2 has or like Straits used to have. that to me would be an almost acceptable explanation for higher prices.
