Yes! Just had the email announcing the gig! I am so happy! ;D ;D ;D
-
Me too!!!!!
I think I will get tix for Sun 20th.
Pain in arse though, I'm working on day of pre-sale.
I might have to ask a kind hearted soul who is going
on the Sun to get my ticket for me, & I can pay them
Back.
Wohoooooooo!!!!

Thanks Val for the news. ;D
Hope we'll meet there. If I go, it's on Saturday. ;D ;D ;D

At the moment, we are hoping to go on the 21st, because it's the last date and also the train fare is cheaper for us on weekdays. It would have been lovely to meet you there and others from the forum too! :)
btw Does anyone know if it is GA or seated, or both? ???

On the other hand, we may go down on Friday and have a weekend in London. Only one gig though! ;D

Interesting option :) Only one gig also for me.
Need to discuss with my government when back home though because I have that Rome gig the week-end before.
Cancel Rome, go to London instead : that's a good move. ;) I won't be too greedy.
Thanks to (precious) angels writing on the forum, we knew there was something cooking and could be ready to face a late announcement. ;D

I suppose that means that overseas BD fans will be inundating MK.com because they are excluded from their own pre-sale! ::)

The ISIS arrangement operates only for subscribers to that magazine. It is done in conjunction with another Dylan fan, who handles the administration and has also got a separate but overlapping list of "subscribers". The arrangement is only available to those who subscribe; it is only used for UK shows; it is operated by Bob Dylan fans, not Dylan's management or any other outside body; it is an arrangement made direct with the UK promoters; the number of tickets made available is fixed in advance; payment is not available by credit card (only by cheque drawn on a UK bank); and it is all done by good old-fashioned "snail" mail.
It is therefore separate from, distinct from and very different from the arrangement operated by "bobdylan dot com" - which I have never used - and from what I know of the arrangement operated by "mark knopfler dot com". As I understand it, those two fan allocations: (1) are available to anyone (as long as they sign on to the artists' websites); (2) apply to shows across the whole tour in many countries; (3) are operated by the artists' management (or agents appointed by the artists' management); (4) can be paid for by credit card; and (5) you can book on-line..
The ISIS arrangement should not be confused with the artists' own arrangements. Confusion has arisen on this occasion because the London shows have been announced separately from and later than the other shows on the tour.
One benefit of the ISIS arrangement is that the administration costs are much lower. For example, if you buy two top price tickets to all three London shows, the ticket cost would be
-
Many thanks for that explanation, twm! Will you be using the ISIS service?
-
Yes, I will. The two cheques are written (one for the tickets and one for the admin cost), the application form is completed, the two reply envelopes are done (one for confirmation of the order being received and the other for the tickets to be sent) and they are all now in an envelope already to be posted off first class today (or tomorrow).
There are a few things I didn't mention. Subscribers got an e-mail advising of the arrangement; the application form is downloadable. But you have to be an existing subscriber. Also, if you cannot make the show, you cannot sell the tickets yourself but have to return them, so that they can be sold to another subscriber-applicant who was unsuccessful the first time round. All the seat numbers are noted on issue and a close check is kept on eBay and similar sites so that, if you break this rule, you will not be allowed to get tickets this way in the future. In addition, there is a limit of two tickets per show, so that as many subscribers as possible can benefit by this arrangement. Also, if you get really good seats for one show, it is unlikely that you'll get such good seats for another show; there is a serious attempt to share out the best seats amongst all subscribers. The allocation, in terms of numbers of tickets available, is likely to be smaller than the number of subscribers who want them, so there will be an attempt to let those who want tickets this way, but won't get them, to know as early as possible, so they can try to get tickets through other means.
This is done by fans for fans - but it has operated for many years and works well, due entirely to the hard work put in by the people who set it up and run it.
-
Very clear explanation twm . Thank you. :)
I agree Isis - as a UK independant magazine- has the right to do a UK-only sale for their subscriptors.
Well done guys ! ;)
I still don't like promoter's and artist's game. Too dark. :(
I believe artists should remain the first ones to organize a pre-sale for their fans.
-
Another amazing thing about www.markknopfler.com
When follow the link to purchase the tickets for London, if you try to search how much it costs because as you really spent money in other shows you want to know if you can afford this new adventura, well, you get this message:
There are no products in this category at the moment. Check back soon for new products
And the presale starts tomorrow... :o
I hope that tomorrow, when the presale starts, there is a valid link to buy tickets anyway, and at the very same time you can think if you can afford it or not. >:(

I noticed that the membership numbers on MK.com have again increased dramatically in the last few days to over 48,000! Apparently BD fans are joining to increase their chances of obtaining tickets!
Interestingly only a handful of members on MK.com post anyway these days, so the increased membership is all about tickets!
Anyway, about the presale tomorrow. If there is a choice between

I'm really struggling as to whether to go to
one of the London shows or not.
I'm already going to Nottingham, but the thought
of seeing Mark at the place where aLCHEMY
was filmed is a temptation too strong!
My main reservation is cost.
Ticket, accommodation, travel, food etc...
takes it to about
-
Hi BBB! We have been thinking the same thing today and for us, everything is x2, so it is pretty expensive when we have train fares, hotel etc, but just like you I would love to go to the Alchemy venue! I'll see what happens tomorrow morning, then decide! ::)
-
The ticket details are now on MK.com! :)
-
You beat me to it. ;D

At least that answers a few q's.

I think
-
Thats WILDLY expensive!!!!!!!!!
>:( >:( >:(
-
That's it, my sensible (gotta feed the kids) side of me has decided. I'm only going to the Nottingham gig, not London as well. :disbelief :'( :-\
I know i will kick myself forever, but at least i'll see him once on the tour.
I only saw MK & EH once, but i'll continue to see MK on his own more than once as usual.
If it was for ticket only, then i'd do it, but everything else as well is just too much. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Call myself a fan.........................pft :disbelief
Cheers (a sad BBB) :(
-
C'mon BBB,
it is the same over here! I just made clear from the very beginning that I am just waiting for the next MK tour (2012?) and that this is just a bonus! So one show (Oberhausen for me) is just fine! 120
-
Thanks for your comforting words LE :)
It's taken me a few days of changing my mind constantly, but only 1 show for me. (sorry Mark)
BLOODY CREDIT CRUNCH!!!!!!!!! >:(
I'm still a nutter fan though. :)
Cheers BBB
-
Ouch I dunnnnnno... i'd be viser to say no... i'll see tomorrow morning... (i should save for a next MK solo tour... who knows 2012/13...)
-
Not going. No spare cash at the moment. Chose the right time to get into the brpkerage business and spare cash is not spare at the mo. ;-)
-
This concert is a great chance to many people to attend a MK show at the Alchemy venue, thats magical by itself.
But the prices, damm, we already spent loads of money in other concerts, thats not fair at all.
I

No London show for me either.

Now that so many of us cannot go be assured that they will do a DVD/Bluray of it!

Are you working on your plan to do an "Isaac", Pottel? 8)

I will give a try and hope to be lucky with tickets.
Very sorry and disappointed to see so many friends won't go :'( :disbelief
It's clearly not cheap but it's the first time -and maybe the last ??? - I can go to London.
At that point I have the choice between a poor but expensive seat in Rome and Hammersmith.
No discussion or hesitation to have.
-
We have decided not to go also. It is just too expensive, because it is x2 for us and I would really only be going for the Alchemy venue experience and MK, of course! I am happy to be going to Manchester with great seats and will have the opportunity to see Bob and give an honest opinion of his performance, for better or for worse! We are saving our money to see Mark on his next tour a few times at RAH and some other venues too!
BTW I think the MK.com Service Charge, etc amounting to

I am gutted not to have the aLCHEMY experience.
It may well be the only chance I'd ever have.
I'll just have to be content with watching aLCHEMY
on Dvd.
You never know, they may release one of
The Hammersmith gigs on Dvd.
Cheers. BBB
-
Just had a look at the ER forum and it appears that the bd.com site is not working, so they have come over to MK.com for their tickets!
-
They are selling out so quickly. :disbelief
No front circle for me :'( :'( :'(
I'm very pleased I could get a ticket though ! :)
Too many new MK.com one-time members. A real flood ! ;) ;)
You never know, they may release one of
The Hammersmith gigs on Dvd.
Cheers. BBB
Indeed, you never know.
If ever there's a chance something happens it could be there.
Maybe we'll be lucky before ???
At we least we know they can call it "After the flood".
-
My regrets is not to miss the Alchemy gig or BD double bill there but to me the real deal was 1988 Mandela Warm Up gigs. I'd have loved to be there to witness my two guitar heroes together (wayback machine where are you?).
London trip are expensive and if any in the future that will be for a full long MK show.
If DVD release planned I hope it won't be for this mini tour but the next big one.

All three nights front row circle for me! :D

Are you working on your plan to do an "Isaac", Pottel? 8)
LE
you mean next year?
not sure, gonna do more german, dutch and belgian shows, that's for sure, but pulling an "isaac"...nahhhh...don't think so, coz, if i would, what people then call it in the future?
doing an Isaac...
doing a Pottel
or doing a Pisaccel??
questions upon questions... :disbelief
-
Doing an Isaac is complicated. So many parameters : family life, job, money, (+ time, health, luck, ... ).
He's set the world record so high there's nothing we can do.
Must find another challenge ::) ???
What doesn't exist ?
-
joining the band?
become marks guitar tech?
replacing Mark?
-
If you replace Mark , tickets may become affordable and I can do an Isaac.
-
Booked for Saturday night...stalls...dont even know where that really means but am just happy to be there!!!!
;D

replacing Mark?
It already has a name, a terenceiss :P

Don't tire yourself out! ::)

Bob: Mark, what do you think about rehearse some songs tomorrow morning in your studio, and play live together?
Mark: well, there

I got my tickets assigned for all three London nights. I got best block in the house (block #9), first and second row. So I'm very happy with seat location. Great service! Thanks to MK.com. :)
-
Not impressed with my presale ticket ,got a restricted view seat behind a stairwell,according to the HMV website.Have sent off an e-mail of complaint not that i expect it to get me anywhere.
-
So, which AMIT people are going? And which dates? (i can add you to the 'who's going where' list)
-
I have a ticket for the Mon the 21st (my birthday ;D) but will be around trying to get in all three nights as I live in Hammersmith.
