yep.
one question to anyone who was there though.
who was the "person" (not sure if male or female, as i stood at the complete other side of the stage) that mark went to and shook hands with, and laughed with??
great sultans again tonight, he plazed some of the parts towards the end COMPLETELY differently.
some drunk kept shouting slightly to my left, "yeah son" "i'm a geordie" "show them son" yeaaaahhhhaaaa"" and so on....
i guess there's one in every crowd....

Hello Pottel,
Just missed seeing you as when ever I went to say hello you moved off to see someone else! and I didn't want to disturb you when you were meeting Guy.
I was after all just in front of you last night. Oh well there will be another time I'm sure. I was sat next to the chap who is doing all the shows!!
Not sure who the lady was who Mark shook hands with but he seemed pleased to see her, so did Danny too. The guy who kept shouting out got very annoying the same as the chap behind us trying to sing each song word for word without much success! He also gave a running commentary to his 'friend' what song was coming next!!
Besides those 'minor' interuptions I and my wife thought that was the best MK has played for a while giving his back problem which you can sense is slowly getting better.
'Marbletown' oh what a treat!!!
Some piccies from last night's 'Mind blowing' concert...

Thanks, a bit more difficult from Stalls (need to change settings of camera a lot) also due to bigger distance, but my amateur camera still does the job. Although I would love to bring my Nikon D3 with me...but professional equipment is not allowed :-\
-
On sunday, nobody controlled me. I could have brought in anything into the Hall... ::)

According to Isaac's blog, Concert #41 had members of the band's families in the RAH in the first rows, so perhaps the lady MK shook hands with was connected to a member of the band! Isaac was on row #7 instead of row #1 for the first time - perhaps for this reason! :)

I guess Isaac is the guy I spoke to last night as he was sat next to me!! He is doing all the shows of the tour?

ooh, too bad we did not meet, somehow did not notice that.
when we were seeing guy, where did you stand then??
what did you wear, look like?
will you do any other shows??
also, for the jealous ones, isaac and jeroen had row 13 tonight, satisfied?

Pottel,
I met you at Bournemouth, being sat right behind you at the show!! and we exchanged email addresses with each other and you also told me about joining this forum!!
I was stood by door 1 waiting to get MK.COM tickets on Wednesday evening, I happened to glance round and saw you were with Guy chatting... I had my 'Get Lucky' black T-shirt on and had a blue rucksack stood first in the queue for the pre-ordered tickets...
I'm afraid thats it for me/us now regarding shows until the next time...
We were sat in row 7 that night next to Isaac!!

Well said Pottel, I am not jealous myself, I am just happy he managed to get good seats almost all the time. Same for me, all seated gigs I am doing is first row. Thanks to my excellent internetaccess at the office ;D ;D
-
I'm not jealous either. I was lucky enough to get four front row seats myself! :P

I was always wondering how it was possible to get front row seats ! ;D
Here is the secret : excellent internet access ! ;)
I tried a couple of times. Never worked. Very funny thing : the faster I ordered, the worst seat I got. :P
Pre-sale is definitely a bad idea for me : the seats are good but not good enough for the inconvenience (higher prices and the risk of losing everything if finally you can't go to the show).
But it's good to see that the nicest people (and real fans, not resellers or whoever) managed to get front row ! :)

Below is the line near the bottom of the confirmation, so you can see:
I ordered at 8.00AM (UTC), I paid at 8.00 (UTC) and got the confirmation at 8.00 (UTC) = 14.00 dutch time by mail. I removed the last part of my IP :P
Order received on 9/4/2009 8:00 AM (UTC) from IP address 86.
Except Amsterdam I did it all the within the same minute the presale started and got all frontrow.
So check your confirmationmail, I can't imagine that if you have it within the minute after the presale started, you don't have 1st or 2nd row.
-
I got 4th row in Montreux while ordering within the 1st minute.
Order received on 3/5/2010 5:00 AM (UTC) from IP address 212.xxx
Not a bad seat overall, but it really makes no sense to me. ;)

Sometimes you are best being back a few rows if you have a more central viewpoint; I had front row seats in Glasgow but they were right along near the end. At least I had a good view of Richard! :)

I did not get lucky either on that point. Not very central. :P
It doesn't matter. I'm very happy to have show (almost) home. :)
But seat assignment remains a mistery to me ???

That's too bad - I hope you enjoy the show anyway. I'm sure you will. 8)

There are definitively some strange things with the MK.com presale.
I know people who were right on for opening RAH presale and got 13th row only tix while others did much get better seats while booking later.
Myself I did not have these sort of problem but for Paris I did first receive seat notification that were actualy alocated to somebody else.
I ordered Montreux a bit late (toward 15h) on presale day and got row 4 tix - needless to say that I am really satisfied considering that I was not there for it on first minute...

Not me. My associates and I wrote a computer script to log in and purchase the tickets as soon as they went on sale.

I bought only one 2010 ticket from MK.com and it's more than enough.
I'm very happy with the other ones I purchased from regular sales.
Not rated as premium seats but more suitable to do what I have to do. ;)
Something went wrong with this pre-sale.
ds1984, we are both row 4.
Basically they sold very few seats between you and me (in approx. 4 hours) while selling more than 3 rows in 30 secs or 40 secs.
BTW, I hope your seat is better than mine (and not the same). That would be very funny. ;D
Dusty, it did cost you a lot to get those three rows at 160

Somebody did that joke at the RAH. Eventualy they checked their tix and found out that actually it was MY seat for that day. In 2008 I did have this exact same seat twice and on consecutive nights.
Next time I go I will put a sticker on it "Keep clear when DS1984 is attending a show here" ;D
-
I was thinking that would be funny if you had a better seat ;)
Having the same would not be funny at all.
