Of course, ok! I still have no futher info about my Bremen and Cologne show - kills me!!! I am happy of course to have this great seat in London, never dreamed to get this, must be a "typical" Isaac place, right in front of the microphone...
Hope mk.com reads my mail and sends me those two order numbers once again... (sorry for repeating myself ...)

Pottel, section 107 is not bad.
I 'm still hesitating between 107 & 111. I will buy in 111, further from the stage but center.
https://shop.ticketpro.hu/en/Event/Overview/3203/mark-knopfler
GH, you're not alone, I got Arena F, row 9, seat 33 in RAH June1st. I was not late. Same happened last year with Bob. :disbelief

As you all, I received information about our tickets at RAH as well!
We have arena F row 5

Newcastle: Block A, Row A seat 36
RAH 27th May: Arena F, row 1, seats 19, 20, 21, 22, 23,24
Cologne:Innenraum 103, row 7, seats 1,2,3,4 BAD!!!
Clermont: Parterre, rowPA, seats 22,24,26,28
Antwerp: section 003, row 1, seats 5,6,7,8
Bremen: bought by Nelly: Parkett, row 6, seats 5,6,7,8

Frankfurt: bought by Pottel, block D, row 1, seat 7,8,9

So Pottel and Markywes only Cologne and Bremen is bad, must be because we hadn't codes

What about you MOAT? ???
Even though I thought I was really quick with Bucharest I'm also in 2nd row. ::) :(
And that seems to be the best seat I could get for 2013...

So Cologne arrived now for me, Row 15 ha ha,,,, but I was a week later after pre-sale, so I expected a bad place... block 102 I think that is the middle one at least...

You were quick, because the first row wasn t up for sale.
But I think that s a slight chance that my seats are a little bit better than yours, in the center of the row. Sometimes being late is a good thing.... :D

So a very helpful and friendly Dan from mk.com (not "our" Dan!) sent me the actual places: Here it is, LE complete after all those fuzz...
Bremen May 11 Row 5
London May 27 Row 1
Cologne July 2 Row .. 15
Bremen could have been better, because it is the first show for me... I remember some very great shows where I was at row 5 so it cannot bother me... tonight..

Dan from MK. com is really a nice dude, he helped me also to cancel my Budapest tickets after they were already paid for, and buy instead tickets for Regensburg. And the rules on the site says that exchanging or cancelling the tickets it is not possible.
Thanks again, Dan!!! :)
-
I just saw that my seat in Bremen is middle, too, at the central "corridor", so it is not too bad either - in fact good sound probably... and I have a place for my long legs to put... and the way to the stage after Telegraph Road ;) will not be barred by other people...
yes, I am very optimistic about all this...

No Markywes didn't answer my textmessage yet, so I suppose she went to bed early
A pity Bremen and Cologne are that bad (booked by Nelly and me, row 6 and 7, I think all left)
But RAH first 2 nights first row, Antwerp first row too but don''t know how seats go there (5,6,7,8)
-
Stuttgart: Block B, row 2, seat(s) 9, 10.
So you will sit right behind me! Remind me not to forget my hat ;D ;D ;D

Code from amazon.de when you bought a CD you got a presalecode which could be used at mk.com presale, so actually a pre-presalecode
-
I had codes for both my bookings and it really was the difference as MK.com said...
-
bugger..... >:(
so ordering at mk.com means: no code, no album on time, no good seats; only hassles :disbelief :disbelief :disbelief
-
from mk.com, with pre-ordering you got a code as well! At least I got a code which I could use for Amsterdam and a code from bol.com which I could use for France. But I believe only the countries involved in the presale-action got a code.
-
I didn't get a code from mk.com because I didn't get ANYTHING from them (yet)!!! :o >:(
I suppose I will tomorrow, as I've been away for the last 2 weeks... nice! I'll get a code! ;D
Maybe I can use it for the Swiss show... :lol
The regular version that I bought in a local store didn't come with a code, indeed

Mrs twm is not happy with the RAH seats. For the three shows, they vary from Row 7 to Row 19. The odd thing is that the Row 19 seats were the tickets she secured first, before she bought tickets for the other nights when the seats are closer.
As she is a Hamlet scholar, perhaps the notion that something is rotten in the state of Denmark (or, in this case, the state of "mk.com") has entered her mind.

Row A, block HH seats 3 &4 for Glasgow.
I think the ticket Ingrid has for me is front row too?
So I'm very happy. :)

RAH 27th May - Arena F Row 3 27 & 28
RAH 28th May - Arena F Row 2 25 & 26
Hi superval-
We are in row 3 both nights, in the high teens and seat twenty so we will share the row on the first night! Very exciting.
I'm happy with our assignments; I didn't have any code. It's small consolation considering I don't yet have the album. I preordered from MK.com and have an assurance I will get it. Waiting patiently..... :)

ok here goes:
BOURNEMOUTH: Block B, RowB: Seats 29-32
BRIGHTON: ROW A: Seats 43 & 44
RAH:
27th May: Arena A Row 2: Seats 13 & 14
28th May: Arena A Row 1: Seats 15 & 16
Very pleased with them we are

seems like mk or mk.com dislike Switzerland ::)
I'll be honest : I have similar thoughts.
I guess they plan to give us the best bests for the swiss shows. >:(
Actually, the only times I got great seats from mk.com were for Montreux and Zurich. I didn't order faster nor slower, but maybe as a local I was entitled to get something better.
Those MK.com presales have always been a mistery and a major disapointment to me.
Probably the tip is to order more than one ticket, if possible from a friendly country.
At some point it's really not worth it : the seats are not good enough if you consider you can not transfer them. ???

Yes, the same happened to me! And now I hear that "some countries residents" have received promo codes and some other's not (by ordering from the same shop, that is!) I don't need to ask any more...

I don't think so. I guess there will be no Swiss show, therefore Swiss residents did not need to get codes.

agree. period.

Of course there will be no swiss show.
And if ever there is, what does it mean ?
We're not good enough to get the dates on september ?
You know what? I'm gonna play with PCM. Roland Dent style

I don't know Roland Dent and I don't think it's worth nor adviceable to play whatever game...
I prefer to not playing their game by not playing at all.
To have said that:
I am truly very happy for all my fellow fans who have done it right and got great seats!
But I know that the way it was organized there was again a lot of space for scalpers to get the best seats in the house.

I was 1st minute of Cologne and row 7, but had no code, so I suppose that's the reason
I don't think "code" or "no code" is the reason. I have ordered Berlin and Frakfurt with promition code from amazon.de at the same time exactly at sale start at 10.00 and recived confirmation mail from mk.com at 10.03.
Berlin row 1 and Frankfurt row 5 - I can't belive that rows 1-4 in Frankfurt were sold in 1 min. A few of amiter got 1. row in FRF, and I doubt that I was slower or whatever..
It seems to me as a kind of lottery :-\

I got RAH 27th May - A Row 2 15 &16 (next to Knopflerfan I think)
RAH 1st June - F Row 6 31&32
Reasonably pleased although I got row 1 last time so it's a shame I couldn't manage that again.
Also Row 6 31 & 32 as they are in the side section they are level with Row 4 in the centre section (although slightly worrying that on Ticketmonkey.com there is no F row 6 !)

Liverpool Row A :D at the center but I believe not in front of MK
Amsterdam,, didn't hear anything yet!?
Barcelona: standing right!?

RAH May 27th Arena D, row 21, seat 27
RAH May 28th Arena B, row 19, seat 10
A little further back than I would have liked but oh well, I'm just happy to be going. I've never been to the Albert before.
I looked at the seats on the seating chart but I'm trying to get a sense of scale. Have any of you attended a concert from these relative locations before? Are you able to see the band members facial expressions and such from these seats?
-
Newcastle on 18th May - Block A, row B seats 43 & 44 ;D We had same row, seats 9 & 10 last time & were right in front
of Richard & Guy, I wonder if we'll be nearer the centre, or right over next to John & Jim this time!

Well, the seating in the arena area is not tiered so your view may be somewhat obscured. I'm afraid you are about three-quarters of the way back so you'll have a good view but not a great one.
This is what I dislike so much about this priority booking thing; one should be able to choose one's seats. I bought mine by clicking refresh every second up until it finally went through and still didn't get front row centre! Can't really complain though this time but I've had bad seats in the past.

You were quick, because the first row wasn t up for sale.
And I'm getting the slight impression, that the pre-sale code wasn't superior to the normal booking procedure. In some arenas there must have been a reservation for the first rows for other reasons than the MK.com pre-sale. Does anyone know more about it?
first rows: reserved/not for sale via MK.com
second-best rows: for sale via MK.com
third-best rows: for sale via MK.com using an amazon.com pre-sale code
Don't get me wrong, I'm quite satisfied about my seating allocation, but where I thought to have been very quick I used the code and got a very mediocre position.

I don't know about at the RAH but when I went on MK.com for tickets to the St. Paul U.S. show, I could choose from certain sections and certain rows. For example, the floor seats began in row six (my guess was that rows 1-5 were reserved for Bob). In the section I chose (which is my fav to sit in anyway), MK had rows 1-6, but other excellent seat sections were not included as choices at all. Although I couldn't choose seats or rows, I at least knew the vicinity of where I would be sitting.

Strange; but I was very quick without a code and didn't get mediocre but but quite bad positions...

Seems at the first night in London the first row is clearly dominated by AMIT members! ;D Would be a nice pic...

Thats why I was waiting for stalls... I dont get why they didnt offered stalls this time. Well, yes, actually I know why, looks like the RAH had deals with several ticket sellers and promised them a large variaty of the tickets, and MK.com didnt asked or dint had the chance to ask for the stalls...
Best seats in the RAH, except you get the firsts rows in the arena.

It's always been the stalls I've had and it's a very good view. Better than the choir section that I sat in one time. Interesting view over Guy's shoulder! Never been in the arena yet simply due to the non-tiered seating but I thought I'd risk it this time.

In my first post there's a link to a seating plan. They're slightly to the right. In front of Richard probably but pretty good.
-
I am happy with row 1 in rah...got slightly worse seats in Bremen as a payback, but in most of the shows I got really nice sats. I am (again) satisfied with mkcom
-
i was on holiday when the presale started, so didnt get booked untill 2 days later,still managed to get block jj row f in glasgow so very pleased with my tickets.

In Bremen I got row 10 in the center , places 31 and 32 , I hope I will even see the stage, because I

This is the first time I bought tickets via MK.com. Floor Sector 002, row 2, seat(s) 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...great!! :) :)

Really disappointed tbh :(
RAH June 1st Arena B Row 11.Booked through MK.com and transaction was through seconds after it opened for pre-sale. First time ever in the Albert Hall after years of visiting the soul-less NEC/LG Arena in Birmingham and was really hoping to be a little closer. Wasnt expecting front row obviously but thought i might get in the first 4 or 5 rows. Still,i'm sure it'll sound fantastic whatever the seats. :)

How many tix did you order ? Only one ? If so, you have the answer. :-[

No. Ordered two tickets. have seats number 9 and 10 .

congratulations. I'm very pleased to read that.

it gives hope for future presale although I don't trust Crocky's staff anymore.
-
My understanding of seating allocations is that someone at Crocky's has decided they want to play Tetris during 4-6 weeks.
They have a list of ticket orders and a seating map. Here we go. ;D
At the beginning (the first rows) it's very easy, first in first served. Inevitably, they quickly get overloaded when too many big 4,5,6 seat blocks. All the seats must be in the same row, very complicated. Must delay to next row. That allows them to fill the previous row with whatever they want. You may get lucky. Or not.
Another strategy is to preferably put the big blocks in the middle and small one on side.
Sometimes last minute there's a guy in the crew who needs 2 great tickets to impress a girl. No problem, they have 4-6 weeks to release the seating map. Two people will disappear from 1st row and ... they will probably spend the rest of life wondering how come they were so quick and got only 15th row...
What I'm saying is for most people it will be first in first served and a few ones may not understand.
Two years ago, the ticket I actually got at one venue was different from the one I was assigned by email.
Not very professional and I'm weighing my words. That's one of the reasons why I can't trust them anymore, especially when I get a poor seat.

I bought 2 for one night, 4 for another and 6 for a different.
All are bad; even: the more tix, the worse are the seats.
-
On two occasions I bought five tickets in a row, both times I got front row. Alas, the 2nd time around they were right at the end and the view was terrible; I would have preferred to have been 20 rows back, centre. So in other words, I don't think number of seats matters.
-
I don't think all what is written is true. I have 1 seat in Newcastle: 1st row. 6 seats RAH first night first row. But 3 seats Cologne 7th row (but didn't have a code, which seemed to be crucial in Germany this time). So maybe my internetconnection is faster or whatever, but I don't see a connection between number of tix and seats

I agree. It's just luck. That's why I never get great seats! :'( ;)

I am going to one of the RAH shows (not going to say which one) and I've got Arena FUCKING E. Come on, how can this be? I was on time! This is so painfully disappointing I even think about not going to London at all. Flight and accomodation cost quite a lot, not sure if it's worth the financial trouble just to sit in the back of nowhere. Yes, I am still totally, utterly pissed.

Don't feel too bad, the RAH isn't actually that large. When you're low down the floor area is actually relatively small - looks much bigger on TV.

It hasn't much to do with size. Row 6 and further is bad in the RAH; I've been there several times and so has goldenheart96.
Even stalls are better because they're elevated.

No, I don't think there is, either.
Strangely enough, however:
I've booked 2 (veeery quickly!) for one night at the rah.
Later the same day I've booked another 4 for the same show.
How come I was assigned 6 bad seats all next to each other in row xy (sfa...) ?

Its like the Tardis Effect that Guy mentioned...
If you are not Doctor Who fans, the tardis is a space ship that its used to travel in time/space, that from the inside is very big, but from the outside is just a Police Box (like a phonecall box, but blue).
The RAH is like that. However any seat in the hall is good, probably the worst ones (except the circles) are in the floor because of all the people seated blocking your view.
Like this (made extending my arms as much as I could...so actually the view is worse than you can see in the picture)

That's the missing piece that solves the puzzle. It clearly shows they do what they want. :(
If I refer to their own rules "We assign our seats on a first-come, first-served basis, and we have assigned your seats as close
to the stage as we possibly could given the volume of orders placed just before yours came through.", you should have been assigned two groups of seats : 2 "better" seats and 4 "worse" seats. The only possibility to have 6 seats together is nobody ordered in-between, which I doubt. :think
Then there's something wrong :
On one hand, we can say there were a lot of orders otherwise your seats would be better.
On the other hand, getting 6 consecutive seats despite delayed orders show that there were not so many demands.
That's a fascinating paradox. :think
The only logical reason is mk.com has been caught in a time warp ! ;)
Anyway it's good to see that most AMITers got great seats ! :thumbsup
