I assume they will announce a couple of Albert Hall dates at some stage, which will come between those two shows. Disappointed that the South Coast has been missed out again, as have various other parts of the country, such as Wales.

I was surprised to read on MKNews that Graeme Blevins will join the band on saxophone.
Interesting indeed. Nigel must be busy. I shall miss Nigel because I like his on-stage persona, as well as his playing.
Graeme has played with Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, Phil Collins and others so has a good CV (PC excepted). ;)

The Virgin website offered presale for the UK and Ireland concert if you pre-order with them. Maybe there won't be any presale from mk.com, otherwise they would had announced their presale date, not the general sale date.

There is still the possibility that they will release the rest off the dates for Europe at the same time....
What kind of tour announcement is this, anyway? What comes next, like, the list of all the cities involved? Then months? And then finally the exact days? It's like to say "Mark's new tour will be in 2019". Wow, that's some useful information!

As someone from North of the border I will gamble and attend a couple of other shows. If RAH dates are included then I may attend merely to meet up with friends. Just a pity the RAH happens to be located in London. ::)

I might go to Leeds. Fancy something a bit different this time.
The O2 is a shocker of a decision.
It would be great to see you there too, dmg! :) We won't be going to the O2 either, most probably Leeds, Manchester and, possibly, the RAH if the dates are OK to fit in with holidays.
I'm afraid you gonna see me there too ;D ;D ;D ;D it's an easy one.
Working on the Newcastle scenario or more likely Dublin.
Kick off in Barcelona if the date fits in my schedule.

What do you guys think about taking kids, I’ve got a 9 and 7 year old that want to go to a show. I’d get earplugs to protect them from loud parts. Just not sure how the organisers will feel about it. All opinions welcome.I've seen young children in the past.
I wouldn't take mine to a show as they really don't like.
that said, my 13 y.o. daughter is excited to go to the musical ( or maybe it's for the shopping part in London) :hmm

The organisers would not mind, I saw some at differents shows.
The main concern is how the children will behave because a 2h00 show can be long for younger kids.
So are you ready to leave the hall and miss parts of the show if they are really bored and need some "fresh air"?
Or are they already strong fans of Mark Knopfler music and so will enjoy a live show?

Actually I bring earplugs even for myself, because the loudness of the shows is usually over the limit. One day I was so tired of going home with my ears being like after a bomb blast or a fighter aircraft taking off I bought a very cool Flare Audio earplugs and it's like the best purchase in my life.

Personally, I have never needed earplugs for any MK concert. The only time I needed them was for the MK/Dylan concert and even then it was only the Dylan part that was ultra-loud - MK was fine!

Usually in the page of the ticket seller. For example, Ticketmaster Spain has it, you download bit, print, fill and when you go to the venue you present it at the door.
All ticket sellers usually has policy for kids going to concerts, at least in Spain.

Never heard of that before.
I was actually 7 when I went to my first MK concert. I was all the way up front with my dad. We waited all day outside the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam with other die hard fans (one of them who was kindly enough to give us these pictures). Everybody was very understanding back then (it probably helped I wore a Love Over Gold tour shirt). I was even allowed to stand in front of the railing on a little platform of the construction. I even peed backstage during the concert and walked right back. Mark gave me a few plectrums after the concert and Chad got down on his knees to give me his drumsticks. Very cool stuff
It probably isn't possible anymore nowadays.

We waited all day outside the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam with other die hard fans (one of them who was kindly enough to give us these pictures). Everybody was very understanding back then (it probably helped I wore a Love Over Gold tour shirt). I was even allowed to stand in front of the railing on a little platform of the construction. I even peed backstage during the concert and walked right back. Mark gave me a few plectrums after the concert and Chad got down on his knees to give me his drumsticks. Very cool stuff
It probably isn't possible anymore nowadays.

Good news for me - The First Direct Arena, Leeds! :clap Perhaps I will see you there jbaent! :)
I might go to Leeds. Fancy something a bit different this time.
The O2 is a shocker of a decision.
It would be great to see you there too, dmg! :) We won't be going to the O2 either, most probably Leeds, Manchester and, possibly, the RAH if the dates are OK to fit in with holidays.
I'm afraid you gonna see me there too ;D ;D ;D ;D it's an easy one.
Working on the Newcastle scenario or more likely Dublin.
Kick off in Barcelona if the date fits in my schedule.
I shot myself in the foot by going with my daughter to Edimburgh for the musical (and extended the trip to London :hmm )
Nevermind, the chess game has just started. :lol
Looking at the dates I may as well go to Newcastle too since I'll be passing through the city on my way home from Leeds on the day of the concert. It'd be silly not to stop off and take in the show!

It looks like a wartime message or something, the briefness of it, the simplicity... And especially the legendary ".con" typo :lol :lol :lol

Ticket prices köln
Holy sh*t that’s expensive. Three years ago I paid around €90 and we were on the second row I believe. Could be first row too.
Post by: Knopflerfan on October 22, 2018, 10:25:05 AM
What do you guys think about taking kids, I’ve got a 9 and 7 year old that want to go to a show. I’d get earplugs to protect them from loud parts. Just not sure how the organisers will feel about it. All opinions welcome.
Actually I bring earplugs even for myself, because the loudness of the shows is usually over the limit. One day I was so tired of going home with my ears being like after a bomb blast or a fighter aircraft taking off I bought a very cool Flare Audio earplugs and it's like the best purchase in my life.
Personally, I have never needed earplugs for any MK concert. The only time I needed them was for the MK/Dylan concert and even then it was only the Dylan part that was ultra-loud - MK was fine!
Haha, I found it easier on that particular tour with MK to just leave when BD took to the stage rather than worry about earplugs!!!!!

New system for presales. You have to fully register AGAIN. From today untill 24, you have to choose the venues and number of tickets each. On Thursday, they send you an email with the instructions to pay the choosen.
So how do you get a first row ticket then if it's a gamble?

We're in europe from the 14th of July, So asking for some advice, what would be the best or most beautiful venue to see Mark in italy (Where he'll be for the last part of the europe leg)?
Any advice would be fantastic so we can get those presale tickets! :)

MarkKnopfler.com will continue to offer the same “best seat” pre-sales for the Down The Road Wherever tour.
However, a new service from MarkKnopfler.com, Fair Admission, allows fans to sign up to purchase tickets prior to the regular “best seats” ticket presales. Simply create your Fair Admission account here, select your show and number of tickets and we’ll email you a link to check out on Thursday, October 25th. The registration window closes 11:59 PM PDT on Wednesday, October 24th.
With Fair Admission, you can take your time checking out when it is convenient for you and you will be seated before buyers in the regular presale from the best inventory MarkKnopfler.com has to offer.
Fair Admission is a premium service designed to make your presale experience more convenient, enjoyable and fair. Those who decide to take advantage of Fair Admission will be charged an additional $3, £2.30, €2.60, or $4CAD per ticket at checkout. That fee helps us provide this service to our fans. For those who elect not to participate in the Fair Admission program, traditional MarkKnopfler.com Best Seats Presales will still be conducted as with past tours on Monday, October 29th with remaining pre-sale inventory. Questions about Advance Ticket Registration? Email us at help@MarkKnopfler.com and we’ll be happy to assist.
The Registration Period
The Fair Admission Registration Period for all shows opens when Mark’s tour is announced (now, if you are reading this) and closes at 11:59 PM PDT on Wednesday, October 24th.
How To Register for Fair Admission
Click here to create your free Fair Admission account using email, Facebook or Twitter. You will be sent a verification email to confirm your email address that must be clicked before you can select tickets for shows.
Select the show(s) you are interested in seeing and the number of tickets you’d like to purchase.If you would like to register for the chance to purchase tickets to additional shows, you will be presented with the option to do so. If not, you can select "Logout" and you will be signed out of your account.
NOTE: If, after you register, you decide that you would like to change, add to or delete your selections, you can log into your account and make changes at any time until the pre-registration window closes at 11:59 PM PST on October 24th.
The Order Period: October 25-27
All that register for Fair Admission will receive an email on October 25th.
If your ticket request can be accommodated, you will receive an email with instructions and links to purchase. Alternately, you will receive an email notifying you if we are unable to fill your request.
If there are insufficient pre-sale tickets available to meet the Fair Admission requests for any concert, pre-registrations for that concert will be filled at random.
Notes About Purchasing:
Your shopping cart can only be completed once so do not share your link;
If your link is invalidated or expires for any reason, you will need to participate in traditional MarkKnopfler.com presales to try and purchase tickets;
The fee for the Fair Admission program is based on the location of the event and is $3, £2.30, €2.60, or $4CAD per ticket and is only charged when you have made a successful ticket purchase through the system;
All Fair Admission purchases are subject to the MarkKnopfler.com Ticketing policies and Terms of Use. Click here for more information.
Post by: binone on October 22, 2018, 12:05:29 PM
Please always check MarkKnopfler.com for the best way to buy tickets and for all details of fan-to-fan resale sites. If you genuinely can’t make it to the show you bought tickets for, use a fan-to-fan service to safely sell to other fans. These details vary from city to city, as well as country to country, so please check MarkKnopfler.com and follow links on the MarkKnopfler.com Tour Page for the best way to get a hold of safe, fairly priced tickets.

On a German press release for the concert in Cologne (Lanxess Arena) they say, that the band consists of 11 musicans. Mark, Guy, Richard Bennett (Gitarre), Jim Cox (Piano), Mike McGoldrick (Pfeife und Flöte), John McCusker (Geige und Zither), Nigel Hitchcok (Saxophon), Tom Walsh (Trompete), Glenn Worf (Bass), Danny Cummings (Trommeln) und Ian Thomas (Schlagzeug).
Nigel has been replaced by Graeme Blevins - Nigel apparently has other commitments.

It looks like Fair Admission service is extremely popular with our fans. So popular in fact that Facebook decided to throttle us making it impossible to sign up or sign in using Facebook login. If you are having trouble with Facebook sign up please use our other sign up options or wait until later and try again if you still prefer to use Facebook. There is no rush!

About the second presale:
You may still participate in the regular MarkKnopfler.com pre-sales on October 29th. All remaining pre-sale inventory will be available at that time
But i believe they prefer if you use the first pre-sale.
Traditional MarkKnopfler.com presales are still happening, scheduled to begin on October 29. However, it is important to note that our presale inventory may be largely depleted or even sold out by the end of the pre-registration window, in which case presales could completely sell out and end quickly. In this case, you may try to secure tickets during the public sale. For more details on both presale and public sale start-times visit the MarkKnopfler.com Tour page.

I recommend you to attend Valencia as well, and enjoy the bullring, which is similar to the Rah :)
Yes we really do. I know Valencia and want to go. As well as Rome or Verona

If this is the latest and greatest and fairest and most transparent idea of selling tickets then I'm really getting to old for this shit.... Or everybody that isn't called Mark Knopfler should just be fired immediately! Or perhaps him included for hiring such geniuses.

The german fans can be really very "happy" with this new presale system. We got today the dates for the german gigs and that the presale starts tomorrow morning. So we all have at least the chance to decide within 1 day which concerts we will attend. :disbelief
That is really very very fair to us ... :clap
Furthermore, if you try to view the available seats and prices for the german concerts .... you will see that they are already sold out ??? Fantastic info ... 8)
Think it should be possible for mk.com (especially the clowns responsible for the presale) to show this simple info also for the german gigs, cause they must be already known ... for the italian concerts they are provided.
Very strange.
I was shocked too. Thanks to a friend who informed me about the published dates. I almost missed presale. The decision was easy this time - only Munich.
I can't believe it, you couldn't log in on markknopfler.com during the day. It works now. And the prices for Munich are... that hurts... :disbelief

A really good decision, maybe I'll go this road, too. The prices are just insane and gets more insane each year. Last time I saw Paul McCartney live the price was something like 250 € per person. I mean — I can't curse here — but what they think they are? For that money you actually can have an mp3 recording of the show FOR FREE. It's a robbery, literally. I don't care Sir you or just Mark Knopfler, some prices are just too high.

I'm thinking too. I wanted to go to the concert together with my husband. Now I don't know if this isn't too much money. Sadly, I wanted to share this experience with him...
It's funny how the artists fight about so called tickets resales, but the fact that ticket prices for their own shows are beyond all the limits is hillarious.

I expect no great surprises, yes there might be set list changes but isn't it ridiculous to go only because the possibility to have some new stuff ( finally)? Plus travel and accommodation, two shows mean 700 Euro in that departement. No Sir. Only thing that bothers me is that the quality of the recordings in 2015 was (also) crap. Here I really hope for some good quality recordings to dive into without spending a fortune. Of course they will definitely increase in prices since 2015, too!
By the way, pretty sure that Mark takes all these additional Musicians with him to shrink his time span for guitar playing by the way. So a lot of brass, folk and percussion seasoned with some guitar shining here and there...

Post by: quizzaciously on October 22, 2018, 09:40:47 PM
Question: who is actually in charge of the ticket prices? The artist?
It's the promoter, not the artist. And partly the price is so high because of scalpers and secondary ticket agencies, which the artist (Mark in this case) can actually fight. But they can't do much so we have what we have. I seriously shocked they can build any audience every time with ticket prices like that. And I'm stunned that venues aren't empty. And it's Mark, the prices can go as high as 500 $ and even more. For a live show! You can go and buy a musical instrument for that money, or tons of records.

Same here, Jana. I am not that enthusiastic about him anymore anyway but what has worked thw last weeks was that "come on it's the last chance to see him live maybe" from my sister in Munich. It's just that I feel obliged to have to go because I always went... my heart is not exactly following...

But then again, they wouldn't have written that you could come and go and edit your selections in whatever way you feel like. Add/remove shows and number of tickets. In such a case there'll be thousands of errors.

Many people ARE getting richer and richer, the same as a lot, much more get poorer and poorer. Compared to the ticket prices of Ed Sheeran last summer (no band, one man), Mark appears as Saint Martin.
LE
This is very strange and makes me scratch my head a lot. Many people think that people like Mark are reach beyond belief and can buy whatever they want, but more open and honest artists like Van Morrison and Chuck Berry say that they tour so much because they have a lot of bills to pay (while Van Morrison's net worth is estimated to be exactly like Mark's and he's British, too, AND Sir).
And this is the opposite of guys like Tommy Emmanuel (and Mark's session players) who needs to tour literally ALL THE TIME to do the same.
It's a shame that money is such a big part of our life, but with all that said, ticket prices still are too high in my opinion.

I'm not so excited about him anymore either. It's just a nice tradition to go to a concert in Munich, have a drink afterwards, spend time together. To have common memories. I even thought about a trip to Madrid, Milan or Rome. But if the prices for tickets alone are so high... No, thanks. I will buy two tickets after all. Travel costs aren't high because we live nearby. Maybe we go home after the concert, no overnight stay.

2015 I paid at Olympic Hall Munich € 88 (incl. fee) and got seats in row 3 (assigned first come first serve). Today they charge € 156 (incl. fee) for randomly assigned seats ... probably row 7 seat 1 ... the worst seat in this category.

Did you all get the confirmation via the pre-pre-pre-PRE-sale stuff via fair admission? I didn't get any message yet... :think

The fair admission: you won't get an e-mail until FA is closed. Then you get a mail on October 25th if you can buy or not.
And Kris: you just had a normal/old fashioned presale for Germany, so that has nothing to do with FA

I assume the usual presale should be good enough to get an early entrance ticket for St-Julien. That's all I need from mk.com.
Very happy whit this tour schedule, I have to say the management did a great job.
Having a full schedule changes everything. We can really optimise :clap and I hope to see Amiters here and there. I'm sure I will ;)
For sure St-Julien, Rome and Verona.

mk.com offers for the seating "Floor sections, Row 1-10". Knows anybody to which official category this corresponds ? Because the official seating plan (www.arena.it) shows:
- 1st sector stalls
- 2nd sector stalls
- numbered seats on the steps 1st sector
- numbered seats on the steps 2nd sector
- numbered seats on the steps 3rd sector
The exact info would very well interest and be important for me/us. Think mk.com knows it .... so what ?

Thank you, crimmer! I have a feeling from this edited interview that this will definitely be MK's last tour, but it does sound as though it's going to be something different to the usual setlists with music spanning all parts of his career! I will be very sad when the touring ends, but I think he is becoming less mobile than previously. He does say that he will continue writing and making records, though, which is good! :)

Looking at this massive schedule doesn't indicate he is on the brink of breakdown.
He can still tour on a smaller scale.

He is not dead yet!

Yes, of course, but it sounded as though he was preparing us for a slowdown. Maybe he will do shorter tours in future. :)

if it's true (and I hope you are right), why - in God's name - why does mk.com not use the official declaration from the seating plan "1st sector stalls GOLD" instead of "Floor sections row 1-10" ? That can't be so difficult ... or what ?
On the other side mk.com uses for all other italian gigs (Milan, rome, Lucca, Rimini) their respective official declaration ... so it's possible ... but only for Verona they use a fanciful declaration, which can't be found in any official seating plan !
So I hope for necessary clarification from mk.com.

I wouldn't be troubled with the exact wording as mk.com always sell the first rows.
Of more importance is the huge interest in the Verona gig, so no one should be too angry when ending up in row 10 (even at 10.01. as with past RAH presales) or not getting a ticket in the presale at all.

How exactly does the ticket pickup system work? For every concert you have to pickup your ticket at the day of the show at the venue? Did that work properly without any problems during last tours? It's my first time using the official (pre-)presale on markknopfler.com ;)
Has worked perfectly well except that you must bear in mind that you must enter the venue with the people you purchase the tickets for because they ask for the card used to purchase the tickets.
I did have an issue at the RAH last tour when they printed the tickets in the vestibule on the way in so there was no way out afterwards. They printed my ticket for the wrong seat. I noticed their error, enquired about it and it turned out someone else with the same name had purchased that seat. Good job I noticed before I entered though. That was the poor RAH system though; other venues have them ready printed.

I was trying to see which show(s) I wanted to see, and if my information was right, I was shocked at the NY City Beacon Theater ticket prices. Assuming that we get the best seating, and that those tickets would be the highest priced ones, it shows $260 (without fees) as the top ticket price! Many of the other Northeast USA area shows top out at around half that ticket price. Just thought I would mention that in case anyone blindly goes to buy the tickets for NYC, without being prepared for the possible pricing!

I don't see too much discussion here about the North American dates, many of which have the presales coming up shortly as well.

Ticket pick up is easy: travel to the Venue bring your passport and you will het the tix you ordered.
As easy as that, so No e-mail tix sent

Previously the best seats were given to those who were fastest on buying tickets (however, I am not sure if they started front row center or from the side). Now they said that they will draw the seats. Let´s see.

So they will sent seat locations by email but not your tickets. You still have to pick them up at the venue?

As fine as the idea behind the new system is, it for sure is more than nerve wrecking and not stress-free at all as they say.
I think this system works with big names who sell out venues in 2 or 3 hours but then also you got to be lucky.......but it should give you a chance more to get tickets...

I can confirm there’s a link when it’s ok as I have one for at least 1 show
Thank you for your feedback!

Emails are coming one by one, one show at a time to confirm I get tickets.
When you click on the link, you don't get to know precise seats I get things like "rows A-N" or "rows A-P" :( All tickets 100€+ with the fee. Everytime you have to re-enter all you particulars, pain in the ass....
I am already sick of this "fair" system where I don't get to know a thing even when I pay. The confirmation email says you will get to know exact seats numbers in 2-3 weeks....

taking more money of loyal fans than ever before (if they would allow them to buy tickets)
to call it fair assignment is so sarcastic of them

This "fair" system is an insult. Only seems to work in venues with free floor sitting, so they charge you a premium fee to give you the same thing you could get the day before the concert...
What the hell is on their minds ?!

167.50 € for one ticket Kestenholz, Switzerland.
...and Mr. Crockford dares to criticize ticketmaster?
at least they are so fair as to say they only offer row 2-11 (so they don't offer front row seats at all)

Post by: webvan on October 25, 2018, 06:21:03 PM
Floor Sections X to Z, Rows 1 to 15
Delivery Type: Pick Up at Venue (need ID)
Base Price: €100.00 EUR - Facility Fee: €3.50 EUR - Service Charge:€14.50 EUR - Transaction Fee: €4.00 EUR - Fair Admission Fee: €2.60 EUR
Total Price: €124.60 EUR
Normal price would be 111.50€ (+1.45€ for an eticket as usual I suppose) and in case I can't make it I'd be able to pass it on, here I'm not sure, unless I lend the person my actual ID, I doubt a copy would work...
So that's 12€ extra and no guarantee I couldn't do better in the actual presale...now if they could guarantee a center (Y section) in the first 5 rows it would be an easier choice. If it's a row 15 completely to the side, it's a poor deal...and "fan presales" have been known for that unfortunately. After all what's their incentive to give us a good seat anyway ?

I can't get it. This is not the price for the show whatever row you're in. Luckily the show I want to attend is 150 € for TWO people.

What I was thinking. So far I've been rejected for Leeds and Newcastle and I'm expecting the same for the other one. I guess due to the fact you had no obligation to purchase people were reserving the tickets "just in case" and then purchase the ones(s) they want. >:(

I'll bet this Fair Admission thing is a scam too. Pay an extra few quid and get better seats, however they'll be seated from the same allocation as the normal pre-booking section more than likely.

Still awaiting the almost inevitable rejection for the three tickets I requested for Birmingham. Can’t believe the number of people I am seeing getting rejected. I think they may have named this system ‘Fair’ Admission as some sort of joke.

Tickets £165
Facility fee £3.90
Service charge £28.50
Transaction fee £6.75
Fair administration fee £6.90
This makes the tickets £55 each with add on fees of £15 each. I expected to pay the fair transaction fee only and am feeling quite ripped off at the moment. We register for the pre-sale as a thank you for being members of MKs site. MK is totally against reselling of tickets. yet we are charged £15 just to use this facility. It really worries me that MK may not be aware of this scam. I have no idea what these charges represent but they are immoral to say the least bordering on extortion.

For the „normal“ mk.com presale (starting on 29 october for most places): Is this also a „best seating“ presale or can you also choose less good categories (and therefore lower prices)?
In previous pre-sales that wasn't that case. You got seats assigned. Nothing to choose for yourself
Post by: border_reiver on October 25, 2018, 07:51:54 PM

For the now still ongoing presale for most of the German shows you can choose between two categories of prices.

It really isn't 2 days. It said that you'll have the mail 23.59 PST today at it latest. Also the end of this presale will be on PST till the 27th, so just one day. So you'll have a 9 hours time difference

But extra presale after the normal MK.com presale. We don't have anything good then, good seats are already away on 31 oct for Amsterdam after a long time.
I know. Had the same problem for U2 in the Bol.com presale. Only bad seats left. Imagine what is left for regular sale by then. So cherish you know that there's a mk.com presale and don't tell anyone else ;D

Thank you, mine was 91. But does it mean row 1 to 12 is sold out already? Seems very hard to believe.Got a confirmation for Barcelona for 2 tickets, Sector GS1 & GS3, Rows 1 & 2

I applied for 4 tickets for València and 4 for Nîmes.
I was declined for Valencia, but was successful for Nimes(or so I thought)
I clicked on the link in the email,and the shopping basket appeared complete with 2 days 12 hours countdown timer.
Went back in a few minutes later and it was still there.
Went back a few more minutes later (to double check prices and fees😮)and the page said timed out. Now the link is just a blank tour page.
It looks like I’ve lost those tickets then🙁
Has anyone else had a similar problem?

The management openly declared war on viagogo and co. It's clearly a massive response and the true fans are the first collateral victims.
Inevitable and so easy to predict.
In that kind of situation, there's only one thing to do : fair admission should be only for long time known fans.
That's a fair selection, no new account.

I tried to buy some tickets with no luck whatsoever. So this awful service is asking for 35 € fees and still doesn't work? How they managed to screw up something as simple as buying tickets? AND make it more expensive as a bonus. Complete waste of time. Oh my it's unbelievable.

Also Ticketmaster have shut down their reselling site Getmein but have taken all the scalping in-house by issuing 'platinum tickets'. It will interesting to see whether Mk tickets are inflated in this way by ticketmaster.

I still have yet to get a response on my request for Nashville tickets. However, I did manage to check vivid seats, and I'm already seeing tickets being posted, so it looks like the scalpers somehow got their tickets.

Ive been rejected for Leeds and Newcastle too! :'(
Not happy at all..... I'm grateful thinking on it for the seats we have had over the years, its just a shame that things have to be like this for potentially Mks last tour...
We're not happy tonight either. It's left a nasty taste, which makes me very sad, especially as it may be MK's last tour! We'll keep trying anyway and hope to see you both in Leeds or Newcastle. :wave
I very much doubt we shall be going to any of the shows now, this saga has rather put me off going to any of the MK 2019 shows now... Bona massa at the RAH in April 2019 will have to substitute..

Something's not clear to me: does the presale (e.g. for Lucca) tell you which seat you've got? And do we get to choose it, or is it random? :hmm :hmm
I might be wrong, but IIRC, it's gonna be random.

I'll just have to take my chances with the ordinary pre-sale. I dont understand it really as I've got very good tickets for previous shows in the pre-sale & anyone that was sitting around me were genuine fans - I dont think there was too many corporate freebie guys in that area anyway so I'm amazed that all of these tickets seem to be gone already due to demand. Im my opinion the demand previously was from genuine fans & the majority of us haven't got tickets. I will be very interested to see where the pre-sale ones are situated. I'm not overly pushed if I'm back a bit as long as I have a decent view but MK hasn't sold out the venue the last few times.
By the way - - I'm back :o There must be a tour coming up :disbelief

Thats not good news, I also have been told NO for all my US/Canada shows.

You can buy a Squier Stratocaster for that money. With an amp included! :lol
Post by: quizzaciously on October 26, 2018, 01:00:12 AM
In a nutshell — no discounts, no first row, no seat selection, no nothing. But a HUGE commission fee. Never seen 35 € fees in my life before. So you guys who got rejected consider yourself lucky, because I feel strange. I generally tend to find positive in everything, so an average ticket is not bad at all, but I just don't understand why bother to "pre-register" for the ticket if it's an average ticket. My mind is a blank.

lol... I haven't decided yet. I do want to see MK performing from a close distance, but it seems like too much for me. Next 48 hours gonna be full of conflicting feelings for me. I wish the fees were not high. Base prices for two tickets are $302... fees are close to $75!
Post by: Dutchessy on October 26, 2018, 01:08:25 AM
I might be stupid, but I don't understand. I clearly got not the best ticked that you can get. What it means? That somebody else will buy the best ticket, possibly on public sale. So what's the point of this system? Might as well just wait and buy the front row ticket lol. I don't get it.Same feeling here. Mixed ones. Got a 'bad seat' for the high demanded Barcelona show. Im happy to attend,,but i dont understand why it is row 13 to 21. Row 1 to 12 cant be sold out with so much rejections.

I wonder if those asking for tickets for multiple venues are being automatically filtered out as potential resellers...?These tickets are impossible to re-sell as you have to pick them up with proper picture id eg passport.Of course technically after you have picked up your ticket you can go outside and sell it but it wouldn't be worth the hassle to make £20-30.

In a nutshell — no discounts, no first row, no seat selection, no nothing. But a HUGE commission fee. Never seen 35 € fees in my life before. So you guys who got rejected consider yourself lucky, because I feel strange. I generally tend to find positive in everything, so an average ticket is not bad at all, but I just don't understand why bother to "pre-register" for the ticket if it's an average ticket. My mind is a blank.
I agree with you, this is getting ridiculous.

Wonder if I’ll be able to get better seats with the pre-sale or public sale.

If you decide to wait for the regular presale we can compare and see if they are telling the truth. Let me know!

Charges for two tickets:-
Base Price: ₤120.00 GBP
Facility Fee: ₤3.50 GBP
Service Charge: ₤20.00 GBP
Transaction Fee: ₤5.00 GBP
Fair Admission Fee: ₤4.60 GBP
Total £153.10
So £60 per seat somehow becomes nearly £77.

Although I have been offered O2 tickets, I’m unsure whether to buy them, partly because of what strikes me as an outrageous set of extra fees, and partly because I’d rather go to the RAH anyway - and it doesn’t look like one can easily sell on unwanted tickets.

In most of the venues they are not offering the first rows. In Barcelona I thought I was ordering the firsts rows of the arena and I ended with seats in stalls, sections 4-6 which means I have other three sectors before me... I bought them anyway as that concert is being held by ticketmaster and probably they had hidden the best seats before the sale to resale them in their second market, but this is frustrating...

The facilty fee is that they facilitate it for you to get your wallet in time.
The service charge is that they'll give you the service to get your wallet in time.
The transaction fee is that you transact money from your wallet in time.
Pure economics here ;) ;) ;)

Have you spoken to Virgin about this, Val? There's something fishy about the whole ticket sale in general.
Post by: jbaent on October 26, 2018, 09:39:30 AM
I might be stupid, but I don't understand. I clearly got not the best ticked that you can get. What it means? That somebody else will buy the best ticket, possibly on public sale. So what's the point of this system? Might as well just wait and buy the front row ticket lol. I don't get it.Same feeling here. Mixed ones. Got a 'bad seat' for the high demanded Barcelona show. Im happy to attend,,but i dont understand why it is row 13 to 21. Row 1 to 12 cant be sold out with so much rejections.

Bad tickets, I got the same.

Still awaiting the almost inevitable rejection for the three tickets I requested for Birmingham. Can’t believe the number of people I am seeing getting rejected. I think they may have named this system ‘Fair’ Admission as some sort of joke.
Perhaps it should be renamed 'Fool's Admission.'

If this is going to be last MK tour, it would be remembered as the worst in terms of ticketing for fans...
I bet he won't be playing 'Ticket to heaven'...
LOL!
It certainly could be his last "BIG" tour, becasue everybody's already tired of that, except for the man in question for some reason.
It doesn't mean "end" of touring, just less dates, less counties, less stress for MK, what we're dreaming of for the last 10 years or so.
Mark went completely quantity over quality in shows department recently, this new tour seems to only confirm this :disbelief

I know but I didn’t expect that there are still so many fans and the tickets are just on sale for a couple of hours.

It reminds me of all the new flagship phones that are coming out. Before it was just a phone. Expensive, but phone. Now you can get an iPhone for 1,500$ which is ridiculous for a phone. What's the future of live shows? 500$ for a single ticket? What a waste of money. Seems like artists really struggle to sell their music so they will take it all from their live audience.

I bought those, there was no "Fair admission" for them last time I checked.
The funny thing is that we'll only know the seats in 2-3 weeks, thus well *after* the public sale begins.
I don't want to think negative but it would be epic if public sale buyers get to choose the seats they want (wherever they are) and then we get assigned to the remaining ones that we "reserved".

Still on the fence for Paris, it doesn't sound right to have to pay 10% more without knowing if you're getting good tickets or not. It should have been the center section first 5 rows to make sense really. There if you pull row 15 completely to the side you're stuffed and even more so if you can't make it in 8 months time!It least you got a yes... I got no for 3 tickets for Paris, my hometown...

Is it worth as many of us as possible writing to MK.com or to Crockfords empire or to the artist himself maybe via social media? It cant go on like this and maybe it is his last tour but if not I would hate to think I had to go through this same money-making process again. I buy MK tickets every tour and treat a couple of members of my family to a ticket each as Xmas presents. i ran the risk this year of missing out completely.

Central first rows, but if you want to go and need an advice get the least expensive tickets which is 'seat wherever you want on the high stalls' the experience is still great, you are not close to stage obviously but the overall experience both visually and audio is still great, imo it's better than many selected seats because by going where you want you can have central view, been there many times

It states seated before. That doesn't imply that you will be seated in front of regular presale buyers. It actually just says you will be seated as first (and anywhere in the venue they want, but they don't tell you that ;))

There is now an official statement on markknopfler.com from Crockford Management. It says in the second paragraph that fans who attempted buying tickets via Fair Admission will be seated first in the conventional pre-sales. Not sure how that’s going to work, since markknopfler.com and the Fair Admission website have separate logins! Have E-mailed officialCOMMUNITY in an attempt to clarify this, though I doubt I’ll get a reply before the pre-sale starts.
Okay I'll explain again. Will be seated first means allocated first. So in time, not in location. Not early entry as mentioned before. So they will allocate your seats in the rows you were offered on sunday after the Fair Admission period has ended and before the MK.com presale starts.

There is now an official statement on markknopfler.com from Crockford Management. It says in the second paragraph that fans who attempted buying tickets via Fair Admission will be seated first in the conventional pre-sales. Not sure how that’s going to work, since markknopfler.com and the Fair Admission website have separate logins! Have E-mailed officialCOMMUNITY in an attempt to clarify this, though I doubt I’ll get a reply before the pre-sale starts.
Okay I'll explain again. Will be seated first means allocated first. So in time, not in location. Not early entry as mentioned before. So they will allocate your seats in the rows you were offered on sunday after the Fair Admission period has ended and before the MK.com presale starts. (And then you'll probably still have to wait 3 weeks till your seats gets confirmed :smack)
I realise that. But if the markknopfler.com system fails to recognise that you attempted to get tickets via Fair Admission, then they may run out of their ticket allocation before they get to you. What concerns me in particular is that I logged into Fair Admission using a different E-mail address to the one with which I log in to markknopfler.com. This is because I logged in via Facebook.

Right, so basically it's a "trust us with your money and the extra 10% we're charging for FA and everything will be alright". Side note : "Oh and if it's not, well tough luck, what are you going to do about it ?".

We are writing to let you know that artist management is directly involved in securing pre-sale inventory from the concert promoters for Toronto and Nashville. As such we are unable to assign pre-loaded shopping baskets today. This issue will be resolved before the pre-sale on Monday and Fair Admission accounts will get first access to inventory for these shows. We will be in touch again as soon as we have this resolved.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for using Fair Admission.

Ok. I got denied in FA for Paris. I received a refusal email advising me to go for presales. Presale for Paris starts Monday 8.00am. What should I do ? 1) Do nothing hoping they will reallocate me seats automatically, with the risk that this won't happen and of loosing opportunity to buy presales tickets as fast as possible ? Or 2) Buy tickets on the presales Monday 8.00am as fast as possible, with the risk of paying for less good tickets than the possible automatic FA re-allocation, ending up paying twice if I want the best tickets ? I'm confused now...There is now an official statement on markknopfler.com from Crockford Management.

It's a shame to wait 2-3weeks before you get to know the exact location. All i know is row 1-10 floor section..
nearly 116€ for the ticket with service charge, fee etc. included.... A high price but decided not to risk to get worse rows on Monday...
Pretty high price so maybe I'm in for a good chance of having row 3,4..... or really, will it be row 10? If so it's a robbery if front rows are still available on regular pre-sale...
They could have made all this a lot clearer with the FA shit...

What, they're trying to break even with that kind of base pricing? Ridiculous! Well I suppose it depends on WHEN they plan on breaking even, 10 shows, 25 shows, etc...
This indignant post also doesn't explain HOW ON EARTH "FA" tickets for Paris are 126EUR when you can buy them GOLD seats direct from TM for 111.50EUR, that's 10% more, where is that money scalped from the FA fans going?

Not sure how Guy can say they have no control on who charges what fees. Its MKs management that chooses which company deals with the sale and if they opted for FA then they should have known what fees the FA arrangement were going to charge. This has seriously backfired on MK and the band but at a great cost to the fans. It leaves a bitter taste that wont be forgotten.

Just a thought but why dont we all try for tickets in the MK.com presale and if they are good seats and if they are cheaper than the FA tickets simply cancel the FA tickets. Its distance selling so in the UK we have 14 days to cancel. And if bought by credit card then we have double protection especially with the fees that we were technically unknowingly charged. That would really put a spanner in the works.Dont know if this is possible?

When I saw I'll be somewhere on row 1-10 I decided to take the FA tickets despite all extra fees. No one of us know how many more people have secured tickets through the FA, i don't want to risk ending up further back.
On the other hand, I might as well get row 10 while 1-9 are all empty when pre-sale starts tomorrow ;D
Maybe if I am fast enough I can see which seats are occupied at exactly 10 am CET and have a slight clue of where we are sitting...
Paid nearly 116€ per ticket incl. fees so should be pretty good seats although it's quite expensive...

Aha, so that is how it is then.. I thought you could choose rows and seats on regular pre-sale. But you are saying they will also be picked randomly as with the FA?
My plan was so check as soon as it opens if you can see which seats are occupied, but if the pre-sale tickets also get assigned on random, that plan is not necessary.
Still hoping for front rows!!!!

If you look at this regular pre-sale faq (https://support.markknopfler.com/support/solutions/articles/4000015174-how-and-when-will-i-find-out-where-my-seats-are-), they say:
The exact seat location will be sent to you via email within two-three weeks of your ticket purchase. Seats are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.
So they're not random, but I guess FA tickets should be better seated anyway. In theory, at least. More here: https://support.markknopfler.com/support/solutions/articles/4000131577--how-is-inventory-allocated-between-fair-admission-and-markknopfler-com-presales-

Thanks a lot, had no clue that pre-sale did not allow you pick specific available seats.
Ok, well yea. All this FA thing has confused so many...I hope FA gets better seats. They write about it on MK.com but a bit unclear, several ways to look at it...
Also, I got this sentence from MK support:
"Only the best presale tickets are available first through the Fair Admission program"
Post by: webvan on October 28, 2018, 04:08:38 PM
Why is FA randomly assigned ? Shouldn't it be the best seats considering we're paying 10% above face value ? But then the presale might be above FV too...Also it's interesting they would predict that a majority of people would not confirm their FA order ?! Like they knew it really wasn't a very attractive proposition for most shows. It seems only Barcelona with the Row 1/2 category that some got here was a guaranteed good location.
I'm logged in at MK.com but still can't see the 29/10 presale for Paris, on the other hand if you still can't see what you're buying it's no better than FA. I guess I'll wait for the TM presale on 31/10, at least there we can see what we're buying and with a 10% discount too compared to FA !

I decided to let this basket expire for a number of reasons. I did not know in advance what the price of the ticket would be, I did not (and stil don't) know what I'm getting, I don't have a problem with the FA fee but there are 2 other fees even more expensive on top of that for some reason, and it's all or nothing.
So I'll just go with the regular sale or not at all.
Well said, i go for regular as well..
With this presale i could get row 1 but could also end up in row 20.. :think

When your already paid for the FA tickets, how can you do that?
In the UK we have distance selling laws. If you buy anything over the phone or online you have 14 days to request a full refund. Plus if you paid by credit card you have the fall back with the credit company if you can convince them you were duped into buying something you werent advised of in advance. And if the goods arent as expected then a full refund becomes a right.

Verona was clickable before the pre-sale started.
Post by: superval99 on October 29, 2018, 09:24:52 AM
Are any of you able to actually click on the pre sale dates? Still can't seem to view the ticket page for Amsterdam.
Verona was clickable before the pre-sale started.
Exactly. The Verona price was visible for days before the presale began. I would like to know the prices/seats available before the presale begins - just like Verona.

I could purchase 3 tickets for section X to Z, rows 1 to 15.
I have absolutely no idea whether the fact that I applied for FA before (and was rejected), with the same email address, will be taken into account.
Anyway I am at peace, I for sure did my very best, If I don't get good seats as a fan, I will blame them, no myself...

Thanks for sharing, what was the price? Glad I didn't bother with that presale. Let's see what's available in the official presale on the 31st since we should be able to see what we're buying, unlike here. I still can't understand why MK can't guarantee a Y block seat, from say Rows 1 to 10.

Thanks, so same price as FA minus the 2.60 EUR (from memory) fee charged for that "program" for whatever reason. Yeah it's a small amount but multiplied by x1000 it adds up and it's still money coming out of the most dedicated fan's for no good reason !
Will see what I can get for 111.50 EUR direct from TM on the 31st...

It's a real shame how ticket purchase went this time ...
Earlier this week i was not offered tickets for London or Antwerp in the FA presale. Since i had to work today my wife was going to buy the tickets in the presale this morning but then the start of the sale changed from 8 am to 10 am so she had to leave for work as well. My father-in-law had to buy the tickets then but when he tried to order 7 tickets for Antwerp there was a limit of 4 tickets (during the FA presale i was able to select up to 8 tickets). Because of this limit he had to order 3 extra tickets to get the total of 7 tickets but on the second order he had to use his credit card so the ticket pick-up name on these tickets was his name and not mine :smack. Luckily an email to the website support team resolved this so if all goes well i should be able to pick up 7 tickets with my name on them in Antwerp :think
Tickets for Antwerp are € 96.25 each so i guess the FA sale wasn't so great after all ???

An Evening With Mark Knopfler and Band Floor Center Section, Rows A to P.
These are fine as we'll be right in front of the stage, its just depends on how far back - €103.50 a ticket is a bit pricey. I think I only paid around €60 or something last time when one of our American friends was kind enough to give me a row 2 seat. The time before that I think it was €45 - €50 & I was sitting dead center of the front row.
I'd pay anything to be there & looking at the prices elsewhere it doesn't look as bad as I initially thought :thumbsup

I’m getting the impression that some fans who took part in the markknopfler.com pre-sales already seem to know where they will be sitting. Is this correct? I thought it took a few weeks for them to send out your seat numbers.
We know in which sectors and between which rows and seats we might be...

Jeff Lynne's ELO is going to be across the street from the Ryman in July, and I almost got tickets for it, but they weren't cheap. I decided to forgo ELO, and see Mark at the Ryman. Hope he doesn't disappoint.
Post by: Stanko on October 30, 2018, 09:30:25 PM
The issues with Fair Admission didn't apply to Nashville since they avoided this process, and went with a straight Ticketmaster pre-sale. I was very frustrated since the Ryman is very small and tickets were going pretty quickly. After watching the tickets appear and disappear for almost an hour, I finally got a good pair to appear in a great location. When I tried to cart them, I found out I was having a browser issue. By the time I closed Google Chrome and deleted my cookies, the tickets were long gone. I ended up getting a pretty decent solo ticket.lucky you, it turned all right for you then!

I'm pleased to read that most people who, like me, were rejected for 'Fair' Admission have managed to get tickets in the MK.com pre-sale.
I've done plenty of these pre-sales for other artists but never had one where you don't actually know what seat you're getting - one of 3/4 blocks, one of up to 20 rows??!!! ???
So I decided to hang fire until the album pre-order pre-sale this morning. I've just grabbed a seat for Leeds in the middle of the 3rd row, centre block 105 - just above people's head's on the floor! With Leeds not being very 'deep' compared to most arenas, the front of the tiers aren't very far back so I'm pretty happy.
For anyone who hasn't already bought a ticket, Ticketmaster are giving the option of a souvenir laminated 'Collector Ticket' for an extra £5.95. My total, incl. Collector Ticket, was £71.65 - so just £3 more than I'd have paid in the Fair Admission or MK.com pre-sale lottery.
Post by: vr46mk on October 31, 2018, 11:53:53 AM
This Fair Admission thing...tickets are assigned randomly.. that means in some cases you can get much better seats through the pre sale since its "first come first serve" there...
Not the case with FA, "FA will be seated before pre-sale" is an unclear sentence to me... Seated before in terms of good seats, seated before in terms of being let in at entrance before others......
Anyway i decided to do the FA and got my tickets. Seeing there are still tickets on my venue at row 1-10 makes me regret the FA a bit... Unless the FA gives me row 1-5 somewhere I'll be happy..
Thought tickets would sell faster on pre-sale in Sweden...

I was rejected for all my FA tickets but in the end kind of glad because my allocation for the pre-sale seems rather good and I had ordered my tickets in three different venues in about three minutes. It's a bit like that bit in Who Wants to be a Millionaire - fastest finger first! :lol

In fact there are tickets available in second market sites, being at 120 euros the cheapest for that show.
Concerts are not really sold out nor near. Most of the tickets are in the second market...

The window for buying the offered FA tickets closed only Sunday Oct 28th 9am CET.
From past experience seat assignment mails for one specific show were not sent according to the individual time of purchase but for the whole show at once.
In that perspective even the 2 weeks of the 2-3 weeks are not over yet.
I even expect the FA seat assignments to be sent together with the classic presale seat assignments (all assignments for one show at once) which could mean a further few days of waiting.
I hope I'm wrong! ;)

Manage to get two tickets for Amsterdam, thank you very much!
It was a nightmare, system were giving tickets in a randomly way and when you choosed the tickets and clicked pay they were gone! After more than 20 tries I managed to get two...
Thanks to Dutchessy for the alert!

This is one the most hilarious emails I (and you) have ever got (and probably will ever get):

Actually there're quite a few questions.
My favorite: "What did you like about FA" - how many words do you need for that one?... nothing....

I don't believe it though.
They want to know ? I'm gonna answer directly to PC and explain why I didn't go for FA and barely no presale anymore (only GA, then I'm sure it's a fair process, if I'm there first, I'll get in first and I get the spot I chose).
Their seat asignment is a con when you buy a single ticket. It used to be, maybe it has changed but I don't want to try.
I understand it's a tetris game, they assign first multiple seat orders to please most people and sometimes people who ordered just one ticket are not a priority no matter how fast they were.
I've given these people enough money to be legit to say what I have to say and do what I have to do. ;D

I agree with you regarding single ticket purchases. End of row for you. That'll do. ::)

He loves the sun in Southern Europe much, but is doing also many dates in Scandinavia this time and even more in Poland. Wondering how this come about. We didn't get much last tour and the tour before... :(

Don't know if any other Dutchie has noticed, but compared to almost all other countries in Europe, he's doing very little in The Netherlands with just one show in a large venue.

I have to say I didn't notice but since The Netherlands is one of the countries DS first became popular, and he remains popular today, one would have thought a few dates there anyway in his farewell tour.

There was an extra concert in 2013, I thought it was in Zwolle.
Correct, because of the cancelled dates in Russia.

Mark will play two concerts in Poland for the second time (2005). Now, south and north of the country, and finally everyone will be able to see him. There was always a lot of interest:)
I just checked, indoor in july ? seems a very strange choice

It wasn't. The Zwolle show in 2013 was on june 7th. I know cause I was there ;D.
And with Antwerpen and Cologne nearby the Dutch border and the capacity that ZiggoDome holds there was really no need for more Dutch shows

She's gone 55, your latest trick 57.

They played “She’s really really gone now” twice instead. ;)
