Due to great interest in the two concerts by Mark Knopfler on June 29 and 28 is even added an extra concert on June 30. Mark Knopfler are giving three concerts in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam on Monday 28, Tuesday 29 and Wednesday, June 30, 2010. This was announced on Tuesday LiveXS Mojo Concerts. The presale for the June 30 concert begins Friday, December 11th at 10:00 hours. The concert on June 28 is sold out for June 29 is still a limited number of tickets available.

That's wonderful news, but unfortunately, I'll still be basking in the sun in Menorca! ::)
-
Great news!! Nelly, Maarten, Nigel: are you going to stay one day longer?
-
Thanks so much for the news Jeroen. Well I guess my only chance to see MK next year seems to be through this Amsterdam concert as I live very far away and I was afraid to order tickets because I though there might be some concert nearer my country.
And can somebody tell me if the presale is going to be at the markknopfler.com website or somewhere else?,Is there any cheap hotels around? any tips would be very appreciated.Thanks
-
I'm going! That would be a Hattrick for me! Like 2008 ;D
-
GennT, We stayed at the Ibis Hotel in Amsterdam. There are two to choose from. The Ibis next to the railway station and the other, where we stayed, Ibis City Stoppera. They are consistently good and very clean. The breakfast is excellent too! The price is very reasonable :)

sigh i can't change my plane !!!i'm going back home the same day :'( :'( :'( :'(

i doubt i will do this extra date, my wife already killed me when i told her about the rest of my tourplans, ...half a year or so after i booked it....
-
Great news, I'll be there.
30 june? Third birthday of my son! ;D He will understand.
But my wife??? >:(
-
Great Dennis, I will not feel alone then ;)
My guests for those days will not be there for that night. So we will have to do the job.
I know about what will wife, hubbie think. Till now I didn't tell him my complete schedule. So no problems so far ;) But who cares!
-
Strange thing is that this date is still not on the official site?
-
You know that this site is the best informed site (thanks to you in this subject) :D
-
Me too I stayed at the Ibis Stoppera ;D
-
god knows, maybe i buy a ticket in the last moment...it is standing anyways.
-
Why not, you know the place where you sleep ;D So if you decide to stay another night, feel welcome.
-
I'm doing the 1st 2 nights, but alas, i've already booked my flights and have to be back at work on the Thur :-\ :'( :'(
Oh well. I'm happy with 2 gigs in Amsterdam. Just like last time.
I wont be so tired this time because i'll be travelling a day earlier, so i' gonna party hard this time. ;D
Dutch Beer & mountains of meatballs. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)
Cheers BBB

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions
I got a few more questions(I hope you don't mind as it is my first time):Because the concert is standing ,does that mean that all the tickets are the same and you can get a better view only if you go earlier? and if I cannot make it can I get a refund of the money or something because of the visa problem? Thanks in advance :)

GlenT,general admission is a first come first serve ticket - last year we were in the RDS concert hall in Dublin because the o2 was being rebuilt & it was all standing as well - I'd rather a seat as I like a few beers before & the water works always start half way through the opener & trying to get out & back through a few thousand people is'nt the easiest thing with a full bladder :o :P :P
In relation to a refund,if you knew that you werent going a few weeks before someone on here would flog it for you outside the gig as theres always someone looking for a ticket.
-
Thanks a lot Waterline man.I really appreciate that.
The presale for this gig seems to have started right now at the MK site.
-
The tickets are all the same... You have to be in the frontrow at the moment the doors are going to open....
and then...
run! ;)
-
A refund will not be possible, but don't worry, some weeks before the show you will be able to get tickets, especially for this third one which I suppose will not be completely sold out (as happened in Rotterdam lastyear which was the 3rd concert in Holland as well) So better first take care of you visa and get your ticket later. Presale MK is not necessary, I will buy my tickets from livenation.
Good luck and ask what you like! And keep in touch here, the weeks before the gigs we will plan a meeting early afternoon just near the venue. We have to queue not too late in the afternoon, so meeting will be around 12.00 or something like that.
-
Yup, I am looking forward to meet many fans again June 28th!! It was great to meet each other at lunch time and spent the midday and evening together. I bet the weather will be a lot better as it was in March 2008, it was very cold at that time! ;D
GennT Dutchessy has right, 2008 was for me the first time and as soon as the doors opened people started to run! :o One blink of your eyes and they were gone! ;D It almost seemed we were doing athletic at the Olympic Games!!! This year I will be prepared and do some work- out exercises to have enough condition and be as quick as possible in front of the stage too! ;D
Btw I also bought for the concert tickets from Livenation and one or two weeks later I had the tickets already at home.

Ok, thanks all for the help.I will try to get the visa as soon as possible and I hope there won't be any problems with that then I'll see and get the tickets as soon as everything is fixed.
So what is the best time to go at the venue? And what do you guys do for 2 hours until MK comes on stage :P
-
GennT -After having been standing at the front of the queue for around 3 hours in the wind and rain, the doors open at around 6.30pm! Then there is the 100 metre sprint to the front of the stage and we talk to eachother, get excited, talk to more people, get MORE excited, get to know a lot more people, get VERY excited, then the band come on stage, by then we are EXTREMELY excited, THEN .....MK comes on stage and we are HYSTERICAL!!! :o
-
Awesome ;D Can't wait
-
ROFL Val! ....... That is the right description!! ;D Well said! LOL
GennT where are you from? I ask, because you need a visa.

I come from the "NewBorn Country" Kosovo .Most people surely have never heard of it so here it is ;)

Yeahhh I heard about Kosovo and saw the terrible pictures at TV at the time of the war in the 90ties. I have a co-worker who lived in Bosnia at that time!
I hope you can get a visum and are able to visit concerts of Mark and meet us all in Amsterdam. ;D

Yes, that would be nice GennT! :)
-
Well thanks to all,I am so glad that you guys know about my country and the things that happened around here.It has been 10 years after the war so the things are much better these days and now that we declared independence I think I can get the visa much easier and be able to travel to Europe.
Well seeing MK is my dream and I hope I will make it come true next year.I would be really happy to meet you all there.
-
Well Genn, go on and organize your visa! We will be glad to meet you in Amsterdam. Tickets is second to organize, in Holland it's pretty easy to get them even when it's sold out like the monday.
-
GennT, I have been talking with my former Bosnian co-worker and he told me that to travel trough Europe, you don't need a visa anymore! ;D
He was almost 100% sure of that......... So if that is true, it will be easy for you to visit Europe.

Actually most of the Balkans countries from this year on won't need anymore visas to travel to Europe but for Kosovo the Visa Liberalisation won't happen until summer 2010 or 2011.But they said that the people will have it more easier to get traveling visas for Europe as most of the European countries have recognized our independence that was declared last year, so I think there won't be any serious problems regarding to that.
Be sure to say hello to your co-worker from my side,my Grandma is from Bosnia and my father was born there too. ;D

For anyone unsure about whether or not they require a visa, please send an e-mail to:
j.mccusker@pcm.co.!! ;D

After around 4-5 months work to get everything right I just got a call from the Dutch Embassy here that my traveling visa has been approved (Finally).Yay,So I am going to be at the first Amsterdam gig as I found some tickets a couple of months ago and bought them just to be sure,I am very happy that I am getting to see Mark for the first time and making my all time dream come true!And of course maybe I get to meet some of you there! ;)
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Thanks to all for the help here! This is the best forum ever!
Now where is my luggage...
-
would to love to meet you there Gennt, as all of us i suppose.
we will meet in the "heineken bar" next to the venue, but probably only after the show, as we need to stand in line, then pick up our tickets and then make sure we are in front of the stage...
-
Genn, I am so glad things are working out for you, and I hope you have a wonderful first concert.
-
GennT,
I'm sooooo very very HAPPY for you !!! I know exactly how you must have felt. I was there about realizing my dream of seeing Mark in concert. First time for me was in 2008. My life has never been the same since. I got to see Mark 4 times this tour.
Your dream, mine and many others had come true, life can't be better than this.
Have a wonderful time and please tell us your experience.

Thanks a lot for your kind and warm words Pottel,Knopfling and Sweetsurrender! I think this forum is like a one big family,too bad I am not having that much time to be a bit more active here but I come here very often and enjoy reading news and topics about MK every now and then! I still got some more planning to do but now that the main problem is fixed things are going to be much better!
See ya around! ;)
