From MKNEWS:
MARK KNOPFLER TOUR, 2013: Mark's 2013 tour is currently being finalised. Dates and presale info will be announced shortly. (06/08/12)
-
That was totally unexpected... Everybody waiting for the official announcement on the several formats of the new cd, and we get a pre-announce of the tour...
If it was just because the Spanish dates I can understand it as in September our government will increase a lot the VAT, and it can be convinient to sell the tickets before and avoid the VAT increase in the tickets... lets see.
-
It might be a while before they release the dates. They still have the BD tour to even commence (some dates aren't even on sale yet) and the album isn't out yet. Also, as has been said, the finer details of the deluxe box aren't finalised yet either. All these will need to be completed before any dates will even be shown.
-
I guess we will know about the tour more or less when the cd is released.
-
I think presale in september :D
-
I sent an e-mail to TK last week and he answered he will post about "format info shortly". So there will come some information about the different box editions on MKNews...

Thanks for asking TK about the formats, I`m waiting in suspense !!!

Cologne here I come! ;D

But keep an eye on this forum, it seems we are most of the time much faster with info ;D ???
-
I know of course, but I think it's time for something "official" now, we have different contents from different sites, 5 tracks or seven, EPK or not, 3 bonus songs, two more bonus songs in the Far East.... I hope for some clarity...

answer from guy concerning the line up for the us tour:
The coming US tour will be the same line-up as last year
could mean the 2013 is different then?

Guy only answer to the question made, so ir doesn't mean anything about 2013 tour, just that this fall tour will be as previous fall tour.

I feel we need Paul Franklin on Tour next year....think of all the OES possibilities....
YAYF performed in 2013....mindblowing..... ;D

Me and Jarle is trying to find out how many dates MK will play in Norway.
It seems that we could have more than two dates here!! ;D

Not quite; on the BIA tour they played two nights in Oslo on 22 and 23/10/85 ;D
He could play Malmo next time like he did with BD and that would almost like give Sweden another show too. ???

Won't mind if he does :D
In 2010 they played in Helsingborg (outdoors) which is a 45 minute drive from Malmo.
But Malmo Arena is newly built and proved to be a state of the art concert arena.

True... He has played two nights here several times on his solo tours, so we need at least three to break the record :)

I'm fine as long as they choose indoor. The cold and rainy 2010 outdoor concert at Sofiero probably wasn't MK's favorite concert of that tour. ::)
I hope for at least Stockholm and hopefully also Gothenburg, but it seems after the GL tour, that Stockholm is only chosen if they go to Helsinki as well which they didn't do last time.
Why they did two gigs with BD was only because that BD always sells tickets here, whilst that isn't as sure with MK. The only reason he sold out Sofiero was because of the danes. ;D
I'm planning to visit two gigs next year, but living up here always makes me anxious before the announcements of the dates. Hoping for the best.

Not entirely true. The tour in 2008 included Stockholm and Karlstad. First ever double stop in Sweden (post-DS of course)
Nowadays Gothenburg is being overlooked due to not being able to host modern arenas. Much like Copenhagen have been overlooked lately in Denmark. Sorry if you are from Gothenburg Maxx but there haven't been anything built since the 80's that would benefit concerts.
In 2010 the only Danish show was at festival (among other artists' fans) in Middelfart, far away from Copenhagen. That was one of the reasons why it was no wonder Helsingborg nearly sold out.
My bet is that we will see two shows in Sweden, guessing Malmo and Stockholm. But it may as well end up with being just Malmo again since no other arena in Sweden is nowhere near the standard and acoustics of Malmo Arena.
edit: come to think about it, the only reason for Malmo Arena not to host an MK concert next year is the fact that the venue will be hosting the Eurovision Song Contest (yuk!) in May

Of course the dream of Stockholm and Gothenburg is because of egoistic reasons. ;) Even better up would be two nights in Stockholms. ;D
The 2005 tour included these two cities.

You're totally right there. But then again I usually go to Copenhagen rather than any other Swedish city ;)
(due to geographic reasons and the fact that the Copenhagen show in 1996 was the best concert I've been to in my life! audience isn't as stiff as in Sweden :D )
Gothenburg is a town that you easily forget ;D

stockholm has the "Globen" right?
and Gothenburg has the Ullevi Stadium (straits played there in 92, no?)
-

Yep, but in 92 I think they played indoor at Scandinavium (Gothenburg). No idea why. They did Stockholm outdoors.
Talking about Globen, The Globe Arena.. I think that's too big for MK nowadays. First of all it's a bad arena, and to me it seems that only "rock n roll" bands can thrive in that place. MK's easy going music together with the Swedish audience makes a very strange feeling. It's not that many seats (~12 000), but the shape makes it gigantic and so quite with a seating audience. Ask MK what he thought about the '06 concert in there. Even Guy mentioned it in his diary but in nicer words. ;D

Mark played outdoor in Frognerbadet, Oslo, in 2010.
Fantastic concert. My avatar-picture is taken from that concert. MK in cap and scarf! Love it :)
Hoping for another outdoor show with him next year. :D

Maybe he won't do North America - he may go to Australia & NZ instead.

south america seems like a definite no no by now.
even though i do not understand why, they seem to be popular there.

Perhaps. These areas - along with South America - would be a good idea as they have all been neglected in recent years.

I think Guy goes on about the logistics of it all the time. As you say though, he seems to have many fans and from the bootlegs from 2001 the atmosphere is incredible!

Maybe Australia or even Asia this time round.
Or Tour starts End of April only Europe then until End of July...

Hi all,
your forum is great, indeed. All amazingly informed members and I like to read it regularly.
If that's true, here's the first tour-date - 06.07.2013, Stuttgart

Hi Val,

The concert in Stuttgart? I can see it OK!

If it's true it's pretty late, Germany in July! We will see soon I hope

Could be the last show of a row of 10 or 11 as usual, starting around mid June...

But then it means that USA will be first and then Europe. Because MK never tours in August. And after Europe leg a week of and then US would mean ending in August
-
Look, ( that's just my opinion...).
He tours in USA with BD 2012...
So he may not tour in USA 2013... Only Europe... gigs would be to close from each others....
BTW it's my point of view I hope i'm wrong for the American folks....
PS: Presales should be in September... A french website " Fnac" proposes if you buy MK's album to offer a presales access
Btw I prefer MK.Com presales....
-
Stuttgart on July 6th .... So instructive.
I like that if ever the information is true. We know a little bit our usual suspects and we know the way they build their tours. ;)
Easy to anticipate now.
Because of the July 31st usual deadline, they will tour in Europe in July, obviously Southern countries.
Europe tour will be May-June-July. Great !

I go for June. It would be unusal long between the German gigs with the other one in mind. You are right
about the friday of course. Maybe they did the wrong decicion. June would very much fit into my plans,
much better than May...

Not at all, I already have made a calender, with holidays. As soon as I know the tourdates I can fill it with dates and plan the travelling.
May 10 is a good day for Berlin Pottel, Thursday May 9 is a holiday in the Netherlands, so maybe 4 concerts in a row possible on thursday till sunday :D

It says that the site will be re-launched because of the new MK album, blablabla, and the EUROPEAN 2013 TOUR!!!!

Amsterdam will be fine for me ;D
Actually, any European city with good flight connections will be fine for me :lol
What I fear is that it might happened the same with the KTGC tour, I bought tickets for the first show in Amsterdam, but as I wanted to do some turism, I arranged it to arrive one day before... Then another show was added THE DAY BEFORE!, so I had tickets for the second show in the end!!!! Luckily I made that plans, so I bought tickets for the new first show, and I attented two concerts there...
My fear is that I might not be so lucky again :o

Yes but read again what you posted before:
The code that will be sent from various retailers to those who pre-order the album will be for use in the MarkKnopfler.com ticket presales. What the code gives you is priority seating, based on order number, ahead of other presale buyers.

That sounds logical...
so if the presale starts on september 3rd, logical says they have to publish the tour dates about three days before at least...

the amazon.de site states that you "get the tour dates with sending of the code" - which will be on August 31st if I am not mistaken. So I know the tour dates on August 31st. I will let you know!

I may be wrong, but I understand that MK.com will allow in their presale a box or something to introduce that codes, so they will know that you have priority against others when buying at the presale...
Thats what I understand ???
So the logical says the presale will be held by countries in different moments... Unfair if I want to attend the first show, I cant know which one will be unless all dates are announced together.

Nice idea, but you clearly chose the wrong artist for doing things like that. MK didn't even give greetings to Isaac, a man who followed ALL shows of the Get Lucky tour, he rarely gives autographs as he used to do in earlier years - he doesn't even stop the Limousine while driving by at a group of fans waiting in the pouring rain - really, there are better artists out there when it comes to friendly fan treatment - i guess in a way everyone who attends one of his shows is a get-a-lifer or at least a rudiger in his eyes....

No, not really private. He asked us what we had been doing since we last met (which we hadn't) and when I regained the power of speech, I managed to say that we had been to a lot of his concerts and enjoyed them all, which he said he was very pleased to hear. My husband was far more composed than I was and asked him about how he was feeling about the concert that evening. I can't remember another thing - not even saying goodbye, because we were both so astonished at what had just happened! I do remember that a traffic jam had built up behind his limo - it was rush hour - and there was a lot of hooting of car horns! :lol
A year later, we went to Pagham to see The Bluesclub Band and suddenly, there was Danny shaking our hands! He had also been in the car with MK. He said it was nice to see us again - I couldn't believe he had remembered us after all that time! I asked him why Mark had stopped the car to speak to us in Newcastle and he said he had recognized us. I personally think, because it was Newcastle, we were people he thought he knew from his life there, but whatever, it was very special to us and we will never forget it! :)

Mark only stops now if there are less than 10 (or even 5) people waiting otherwise he doesn't. Have to be at the right place at the right moment...and alone!

He said it was nice to see us again - I couldn't believe he had remembered us after all that time! I asked him why Mark had stopped the car to speak to us in Newcastle and he said he had recognized us. I personally think, because it was Newcastle, we were people he thought he knew from his life there, but whatever, it was very special to us and we will never forget it! :)
What a nice memory !!! I

Mark only stops now if there are less than 10 (or even 5) people waiting otherwise he doesn't. Have to be at the right place at the right moment...and alone!
[/quote]
Even when there are only 2 people (I was in Basel 2007 showcase with only 1 person more) he doesn't always stop. In 2008 I was lucky to catch him on other places (also Newcastle :)) And in 2010 he signed my iPhone in Amsterdam ;)
So indeed right time, right place. Even when you're only alone or with just a couple of people

Is Amazon UK or any shop from the OK offering that special codes for the presales of the British concerts?
As I have RAH in my desired concerts to attend, it would be important...

The tour lasts from April to July
That's it. With lots of european dates. Maybe more days off.

You dont think so, or do you know it?
I know Spain is not gonna be the kick off, for sure.

The shows in Norway used to be in late May or June..
Very excited to see the dates for the forthcoming tour...
-
Aah, yes, the Amsterdam kick off, so much more exciting then the Brussels kick off in 2006...
Standing at the stage door with all the usual people, listening to that world championship football game (was it holland?) on the radio and hearing the goals seconds before the people sitting in the pubs all around us saw it on their digital tv's. And then marks' arrival, the signing, I gave my passport but he was "scared" to sign it.... :'(
I last shook his hand half a century ago,... Ronnie Scott's 1999... ;(
I remember having planned to ask soooooooo many things, only to stand there with shaking knees and babbling some shit.... :lol

I believe the last time that MK did a Europe only tour was for Golden Heart. It began in Galway, Ireland on 24th April and ended in Antibes on 4th August, playing at small, medium and large venues across Europe, for up to three nights at some venues. I wonder if he will do something similar in 2013.

And looooooooooong shows of high quality they were...

Yeahhhh a kick off in Amsterdam would be great, BUT I think it might be in another country, because we had it already in 2008! ::)
I am getting very excited now, knowing we don't have to wait so long before we can order tickets and meet some of the fans who became friends! Only fear I have (as always) is that something might go wrong and while ordening I push the wrong buttons at my keyboard!

It's gonna be between you and Dublin ;D ;D ;D
I'd bet on Amsterdam. 8)
Because of the Berlin show, a kick off in Dublin would have to happen early April. ::) ???
I don't think they're gonna tour during four months.
Get ready ! ::)

I've heard first show 2008 pretty sure about that. Don't know if i still have it. Quality wasn't very good.

Yes, the filmers told me to be quiet in front of stage, because they were filming :disbelief :disbelief
-
I also heard about someone showing to PC a bag full of dvds... Idiotic.
-
Tripods weren't the problem first until they lifted the tripods and moved them under MK's nose :disbelief
I think that was the limit for MK, second night it was forbidden to film, still some recordings, but 3rd night was impossible to film because of security.
I was in front of the stage, a little to the left but didn't see a bag full of DVD's

Sorry for not being precise. :-[
I was not thinking of 2008 but 2010 North America, 2010 Europe and Dublin 2011. :)
It's good to read comments on the 2008 kick off. It gives strength and motivation.
-
Sorry but the 3rd night's bluray was made by someone else ;)
and I filmed the encores for that, coz that person, could not run across the first rows of chairs fast enough. And behind me I could here Paul crockford telling Waldo to stop filming, but I was too deep in the mass of people. Great night! And first they said, standing show, then we entered, running and saw all those chairs, confusion! Then they'd said "no filming" but when we asked again, it was ok,so Waldo ran outside again to go get his camera,...aaah what a night...
-
What an epic night ! Behind each recording there's a wonderful unknown story.
-
First 3 nights of 2008 (Amsterdam and Rotterdam) were really epic, but it ended with no filming allowed anymore. That's a pity!

Yeah but Knopfler did not play in Helsinki in GL tour. Or maybe it was supposed but but did not happen.

My understanding of the code listing is : it's a listing of all venues for all tours.

Knopfler did not play in Moscow and St. Peterburg in GL tour too. "OR was it supposed but never happened"

I like the idea for sunday the 19th may. The week after (27th may) it is Spring Bank Holiday on monday in London.
If this is the case may 2013 will be a month with little work. The first two week we have holiday here and I want to do a couple days London like next year.
Will see.

Yes, and at Halle on July 3rd 2013..
Not sure which Halle, Halle(Westf) or Halle(Saale) in East Germany...
I had an old phone number from a German Ticket service called "Tickets per Post", which was my ticket source before I used the internet...
I called them and I was told that two dates are "already set up, but not official and still in test modus, so they might change" - Halle and Leipzig, from
Halle she knew the date already.

Questions;

Is it even possible to get for the last show (saturday)?
Are the tickets in any way refundable?

-
Questions;
Is it difficult to get tickets to the RAH shows through MK.com?
Is it even possible to get for the last show (saturday)?
Are the tickets in any way refundable?
Let me try to help:
You have to sit in front of your computer at the given Presale Start time (RAH f.e. Aug 29, 9am BST, that's Wednesday!) and order as fast as you can.
You must have an account at MK.com, if you don't have yet, hurry up and subsribe! You then will have to wait until you get answer within a few week's time and exactly get told which seats you have got - in general they are very good, within the first 4,5 rows I would say.
When Presale starts at the given time, you can order at the concert you have in mind. All six RAH show presales start at the same time, as mentioned above. So you can choose which show you want to order, or order all six in a row if you like!
Refundable: In general, no. You won't get a physical ticket but have to print the confirmation mail. Then take this print to the RAH at the night of the show and fetch your ticket after maybe even showing your credit card which you used to buy the tix.
BUT: The people at MK.com are willing to help. If you are not able to attend a show and can foresee it some time before, you will be able to mail to and ask them for a solution. It has happened before. You can f.e. try to get rid of a ticket here at AMIT and then try to convince the MK.com people to change the name and dates that are desposed.
Hope this help! ;)

I thought initially the first one was Glasgow too but when I saw the date was 17th May I thought maybe some more may be added before it. Recall Amsterdam 2008. Hope not though, it would be nice to have the first one be my local show!
Between the last RAH show and Budapest the should be about another 15 shows added too!
Liverpool added to the calendar this time too. Maybe the MEN Arena wasn't available this time. Too bad SV!

Well thats just made my Monday discovering that MK will be back at Bournemouth again and of course we will be attending along with most probably 3-4 dates at the RAH..... :lol
-
yep. bournemouth is very possible for me as well...gonna check that list in detail now. and 15th of may is certainly not the start of the tour.
-
To be sure not to miss the presale for the RAH shows, BST means British Time, so 9 am BST = 10 am In France, Germany, Holland ....
I am wrong ? ???
-
You are right El Macho
-
Just a quick question, i'll be going to see him in Dublin as soon as that date is announced.
Where would be best to order tickets does anyone know? M.K.com or ticketmaster?(our most popular ticket site)
-
Presale mk.com most of the time is best for first rows, however sometimes it happens you are on row 4 way to the left or right and then it would be better to have by example row 10 middle.
But presale most of the time is the best
-

I would advise you to take a chance on MK.com. Most people seem to get good seats and I've had some very good seats too. Thing is you can't choose your seats so you take a chance. On the GL tour my seats were poor in Glasgow and Lucca where I was front row in both shows but near the end of the row.
-
i'll stick with MK.com.
-
Great thanks ;D.... M.K.com is also where i ordered my super deluxe box, was that a good place to get it? And one other thing i got an email saying the website upsate is today and i could preview if i clicked on a link but it didnt work :'( anyone else get this?
-
Ordering the box there is ok, but big chance to have it in hands later than when you get it in your local shop or online in your own country. If you also buy the deluxe (like I do) local then it's no problem, you have main part in hands on releasedate and can wait for the box to arrive a couple of days later
-
I dont really mind waiting for the box even if it is a couple of weeks because i think i'll go into my local shop next weekend and see if they have the deluxe 3cd as well, just to get the live and unmixes tracks :D
-
MK.com for presale tickets is great! LAst time in the RAH i was in the middle first row. So Mark was in front of me :

Sorry to be a bit more down-to-earth, but just looked at the prices and they have increased quite a bit this year also the service charge! ::) Still good value though! :)
-
RAH is much more than other UK-dates :(
RAH EUR 76,97, others 65,97
-
And why does it cost so much more for handling at the RAH than in the rest of the UK? ???
-
And why does it cost so much more for handling at the RAH than in the rest of the UK? ???
RAH dates are charity gigs. This is maybe the reason?
-
Excellent news to start the week. ;D
Right now, I would go to RAH 1st June and of course St-Julien-en-Genevois which is 20 minute away from home. ;D
A huge surprise for me. 8)
Will work on the Budapest, Newcastle, Brighton and Liverpool options.
I'm happy with the list. I see many options although UK is not my main target this time and May is not an easy month for me.
-
Two concerns...
1st. If Glasgow ir not will be the first date, I want to attend the first date, and presale is on wednesday... Is the SECC very big? Can I let it go and trust that as soon as we know if its the first date, buy tickets and expect not bad tickets?
2nd. The RAH, the presale is just for arena A-F, rows 1-21, but I rather buy stalls... Should I wait to the general sale then, or wait the RAH presale, or the Ticketmaster presale? Oh God...
-
Stalles is best on RAH presale
-
Stalles is best on RAH presale
So, Ingrid, is it best not to book on Wednesday and wait for RAH presale, or go for Arena tickets? When does RAH presale start? Oh I am in a quandary! What is everyone else doing? ::)
-
I go for Arena as always, so mk.com is the best.
If you want stalles it's best to wait for RAH-presale, but you have to be a member of RAH if I understood well.
Presale RAH Wednesday 9am BST at mk.com.
I don't know about RAH -presale, I'm not in their mailinglist or memberlist or whatever

The SECC holds about 10,000 seated in hall 4 which is used for concerts.
I actually have a photo here with it next to the Clyde Auditorium for comparison. There was a discussion a few days ago:

-
I am not sure yet but if I go to the north I will do both Glasgow and Newcastle.
Presale both at 10.00 am BST. Anyone who want to buy one of those for me?
I can buy the other one for you to have better chance on good places
-
I got a kind answer from PCM, Glasgow is NOT the first date.

(did he tell you where/when?)
No, I didnt asked, my only concern was to know if it was the first or not, to buy tickets or not, so I didnt push my luck further and asked just about Glasgow being or not the first.
-
Has anyone been able to figure out any of the missing dates from the various bits of code etc that have been unearthed?
-
NO, but it seems UK is in one row.
MK.com is offline now because of maintenance. I hope there will be no bugs for presale ???
-
Are the arena mk.com tickets seated in the RAH?
-
Are the arena mk.com tickets seated in the RAH?
Yes. Well, I presume so anyway. The seats are removable but I would think it's seated.

http://www.amarkintime.org/forum/index.php/topic,2511.0.html
-
Been seated for my concerts like the past x-gazillion years...
-
Refundable: In general, no. You won't get a physical ticket but have to print the confirmation mail. Then take this print to the RAH at the night of the show and fetch your ticket after maybe even showing your credit card which you used to buy the tix.
Has it been easy to pick up the tickets at the venue on earlier tours? Haven't done it before and I haven't been at the RAH before so I would like to know how it works out. I will also consider making a trip to London for a couple of days around the MK shows and attend a one or two :)
-
Questions;
Is it difficult to get tickets to the RAH shows through MK.com?
Is it even possible to get for the last show (saturday)?
Are the tickets in any way refundable?
Let me try to help:
You have to sit in front of your computer at the given Presale Start time (RAH f.e. Aug 29, 9am BST, that's Wednesday!) and order as fast as you can.
You must have an account at MK.com, if you don't have yet, hurry up and subsribe! You then will have to wait until you get answer within a few week's time and exactly get told which seats you have got - in general they are very good, within the first 4,5 rows I would say.
When Presale starts at the given time, you can order at the concert you have in mind. All six RAH show presales start at the same time, as mentioned above. So you can choose which show you want to order, or order all six in a row if you like!
Refundable: In general, no. You won't get a physical ticket but have to print the confirmation mail. Then take this print to the RAH at the night of the show and fetch your ticket after maybe even showing your credit card which you used to buy the tix.
BUT: The people at MK.com are willing to help. If you are not able to attend a show and can foresee it some time before, you will be able to mail to and ask them for a solution. It has happened before. You can f.e. try to get rid of a ticket here at AMIT and then try to convince the MK.com people to change the name and dates that are desposed.
Hope this help! ;)
LE
Thank you very much for your answer LE!
At least there's a possibility for me to see him in the Albert Hall this tour. Not sure yet, tho.
-
The norwegian dates will be announced tomorrow!!
Hoping for three dates this time!
Will also go to RAH, 1.june ;D together with Jarle!
-
what are the arena seats like 5 or 6 rows back?Can you still see ok or do you get the persons in front head in the way etc.?
I got shafted in the hammersmith pre-sale being given a restricted view seat so i want to be sure before i commit this time.
Last time at rah i was in stalls directly in front of the band rather than the side which was ok although a bit distant.
-
I believe that the arena seats are not staggered, so you have someone seated immediately in front of you. However, I was in the stalls directly in front of the band for STP tour and I felt really disconnected from everything - it was just too far away, so I think I will book for the arena, in the hope I can at least get to the stage for the encores.
-
Another thing of note is check the presale times as for me personally the Bournemouth show presale has changed from 10am to 11am!!
RAH unchanged and is still at 9am....
-
Yes, I wondered about this too; the non-staggered seating issue. I have never been in the arena in the RAH, always the stalls and I've always managed to get a good seat. Last time I got an excellent seat but of course you can't rush the stage or meet the AMITers! Something which was to my great loss and I'm sure to put right this time.

I don't remember by the past that MK presale did offer RAH arena seat as far as row 21 (out of 26...).
-
yeah, I thought about that too. Could be a real flop this time...
I mean, what is a "special" pre-sale for when you sit in row 18 or 19 or 21 at the end?
LE
-
Plan to buy a ticket for RAH and one for Stuttgart although the date in July isn't yet officially confirmed.
Saw the Birmingham-date is Guy's Birthday, so maybe you'll like to form an AMIT-chorus to sing a special version of Happy Birthday to him from the front-rows.... :-* :) :)
-

If they start with selling the first rows at 9. If we checkout at 9, we can't be at row 21. I hope :lol :disbelief
-
Another Q as i cant seem to remember....does the MK site store retain your credit card info? Or do you have to put card details in when you select your tickets and go through the ordering steps? Im just thinking of ways speed up the presale time! I have interrogated the account settings but cant seem to see where credit card info is stored....I'm sure it used to be stored on site.....?!

From mk.com
As we hinted at recently, Mark will indeed be touring in support of his new album, Privateering. The first set of UK and European dates have been confirmed and MarkKnopfler.com will be holding members-only presales for these shows, starting this Wednesday, August 29.
For the full list of announced shows and presale dates for the Privateering tour, please visit our Tour page. There will be many more show and presale dates being announced in the coming weeks.
As a special bonus for UK members buying tickets for the UK shows, for every order of two tickets or more, you will receive a code to redeem for a free copy of Privateering.

Have a look on the new mk.com-page:
Go to audio-player and you can hear the full version of "Seattle" apart from "Privateering" and "Redbud Tree".

I cant plan the logistics for the RAH shows until I know about the kick off date... I wonder why they dont release all dates at once >:(
-
As far as I know: we will receive a code for presale by mail at August 31st. Really don't know what this will be.
Do we have a pre-presale? Does this presale means we will get early entry? No-one can tell me about it. I hate it.
-
Is it just me, or can you no longer store card info in advance at mk.Com? :(
-
I already asked mk.com, no answer so far
-

Me too. I thought I was being thick!
I'm sure they used to have my card info on the system?

I just did a simulation at the store with a cheap item and it looks like the CC info are not stored anymore as I am asked for it during the check-out process and see no "remember my CC info" option...

have a bad feeling about the pre-sales .Changing a website just before a big event usually doesn't end well but we shall see.

What are the best seats for the RAH other than front few rows in arena?
-

Stalls. Sound is even better than in arena.

I like ds1984 have tried 'purchasing' an item and NO previous card details are stored on file so by the looks of things you will need your debit/credit card details ready for tomorrow!

It's good dates tho, friday and saturday, so I'll try for both.
Lets just hope they'll add Stockholm pre monday, if that information is true (which is probably isn't).
So will the MK.com presale start at the same time as LiveNation's?

MK.com is always first. It's their policy.

Shame the prices have been massively hiked since the last major tour ???
According to an email from MK.com there are service charges and booking fees to be added too. By my reckoning that will put a ticket price at Newcastle to around

The way he divides the show is very funny. Don't blame the journalist, it's been a long time since Mark has visited that part of France. ::)
Here, we've only heard rumors about Mark's gigs.
Geneva last year doesn't count, another country and it was a Bob Dylan show anyway. ;D
It's absolutely true they delayed the festival. Usually takes place last week-end of July and it used to be even later a few years ago.
Every year, near the motorway, I see a big guitar announcing the festival and I've always wonderedhow interesting it was.
I wanted to see ZZ Top last month. Too bad I was going on vacation that same day.
Next year I won't go on vacation or in Spain the following week. ;)

Lets plan your spanish holydays for the last week of July ;D ;D ;D

You are right. I let you find a better translation for "Une heure lui seul et une heure avec Dire Strait, son groupe mythique." ;D
I have serious doubt about this to be true - actualy too good to be true so I won't go there. And I bet it will happen!

Ooohhh well even when Mark would play in a cabin somewhere in the mountains I still would be excited being there watching him and listening to his beautiful music! .......Hhhhhmmm the vision I just get! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/Fieneke2/Emoticons/Grinsmiley.gif)

I have seen MK there 5 times now.
Once in 2005
Twice in 2008

What makes the RAH so even more special, is that you get to meet with so many great AMIT'ers as well. ;D

I've got Arena A-F, rows 1-21 for 30 May at RAH.
That was the standard choice on mk.com for the presale but I'm a little dissapointed that they're not offering G and O this time like they did for KTGC and GL tours.
Let's hope buying the tickets at 9am on the dot means that we'll be nearer the front of it than the back.
-
Watch the pre sale times as personally I was waiting for 11am for the Bournemouth presale but bought them at 10:30.... So thats a 'local' show at the Bournemouth BIC for Mrs Knopflerfan and I plus two MK converts then two shows at the RAH for mrs Knopflerfan and myself!!
Hotel in London all booked too!!
-
Better wait with booking hotels in London. I asked for a flatrate for all London nights at Copthorne Tara hotel (10 minutes walk from RAH).
They might give a good offer for us all . Will come back to you as soon as they answered. Would be nice to stay in the same hotel with all MK-fans :)

I asked for flatrates (without breakfast) for dates from arriving May 26 till leaving on June 2nd

I was looking at amazon.uk thinking in purchase the 3cd limited edition to get that special code for presale but it doesnt says anything...

No amazon.uk didn't have codes

Done! 27th and 28th! Shaking all over! :lol
Liverpool next at 10 am
I cross fingers for front row , dead center ;)
Good luck. :)
If I'm not lucky with the rest of Europe dates, I'll have to do more UK and I may come to Liverpool to say hello.
Anyway I would get the tickets later. Need some control on the seating. ::)
did you order Budapest????
-
Lots of AMITers there at the first night: :o
Pottel, LE, Ingridswing, Knopflerized,Superval,Markywes49, BBB, irisrose, Dustyval, JeroenVG
and Fieneke and there might be some more...
We should really consider group hug and making lots of fotos - this will be a great meeting! Lots of people I will meet for the first time! And also some
familiar faces... Nice! Looking forward to it. Will probably arrive on Sunday so the Monday is available for a lot of socializing! :D

Me and Mrs knopflerfan too!!

VERY annoyed to see that the tickets for Bournemouth were made available well before 11:00am BST. Hopefully not too many people would have noticed and it won't affect my seating position too badly but this is incredibly careless of MK.com. Usually they are very reliable.

All Done - Tickets Booked!

My sentiments exactly!
Mind you the presale up until a few days ago was 10am but then changed to 11am??!! Still as long as we are there in the auditorium thats all that matters personally unless you really want to be up close to see Mark's package if you know what I mean!!!!! LOL!!!

As usual we will organize a pre-concert-meeting in London, pub near to the RAH ;-)

Not yet. I can't use mk.com presale for that.
I must be able to select my seat, if you see what I mean. Just to make sure there is a certain distance between the stage and me. :-X
Looks like I'm gonna have to do more UK than previously planned. Maybe Brighton or Liverpool. ???

Regarding ticket price drop:Mail from MK.com
Jeroen,
Thank you for brining this to our attention. We are currently looking into why this has happened. If we find that we have mistakenly overcharged you on your tickets, we will certainly refund any difference owing to you.
We will let you know what we find out as soon as possble.

Next Germany Gig.
MK never been there.
A big one. 12.300 capacity
03. Juli 2013 um 19:30
Location:
Gerry Weber Stadion
33790 Halle
-
Yeah, it's a Tennis Arena - so not a football or sport stadium.. The number of seats varies pretty much the same as in any O2 Arena, 9500 to 12000... But it is indeed Openair - he was never in Germany so late the last tours.
Would be cool to know if he plays in Hamburg at the Stadtpark again - pretty nice venue, would love to see him there again... remember 1996 the rain concert...

Could be open air but the roof can be closed in 2 minutes...

I think we got tickets for Bournemouth (and my MK wife did notice it went on early and I think got them at around 10.20), Brighton and three of the RAH shows. I'm the one he tends to say, "Let's have a night off occasionally", especially as MK so rarely varies his set list. That said, he's gonna have a lot of songs on PRIVATEERING from which to choose, so perhaps a bit more variation is in the offing. Maybe we'll try for one or two more when the tickets go on regular sale.
I think we may have got things a little mixed up and have extra tickets for one of the RAH shows but so it goes. I guess we'll be able to work something out with someone, somewhere along the line.
We've not really considered shows in mainland Europe this time but are now turning our minds to one or two of the BD-MK shows in the States. We shall see.

Hey guys, does MarkKnopfler.com send any physical mail or confirmation for tickets ordered online? Because I have problems entering the shipping address because of my country, the mail would never reach me.

pretty sure you can ask for it. i thought it was mail only as standard.
-

The point is that for me it would be perfect if everything was online, and I would just get the tickets at the concert day at the venue. Otherwise, if they do send the tickets or some kind of confirmation code physically, it would never reach me. It's a bit complicated, I know, but I have to attend a show next year, and for me is hell to plan everything. :D
-
Twm, the answer is yes to everything (1 ticket am checking for a second guest)
-
Well I got all my tickets yesterday - got to be good seats as i got them at 10am precisely - the moment they came on sale. Now the anxious 8 and a half months wait! :)
-
Just merged the second newer topic that was posted in the MK discussion forum with this one. Posts are sorted by date.
-
Thanks Dan; that makes it easier to follow! :)
With regard to the MK/BD tour I just thought I'd throw in my 2 bits:
I can think of several good reasons why Mark took the opportunity to team up with Bob - not the least of which are the exposure, including the various promotional benefits, and the logistical convenience of touring with another major artist.
They are playing within walking distance of my house. I have that day, and the following day off work. I won't be going.
I honestly can't justify paying to see Mark do a truncated set that will be about half the length of his recent solo shows - and at the same time knowing that a significant chunk of my money went to Bob Dylan, who I most definitely do NOT want to see.
In my opinion, Dylan is an artist best appreciated on record. Mark Knopfler on the other hand is an artist who is truly a joy to see live, and arguably even better than on record. But I'd prefer to have the full meal deal - not just the snack pack.
So I'll take my chances and skip this one. I'm quite happy waiting for the next MK solo tour of North America - even if that's after his next album comes out in 2015 or later.
And in answer to the obvious question, "Well what if Mark doesn't tour again?" I'm okay with that too. I've seen him a few times over the years and I have some wonderful memories - and of course, many great recordings to enjoy.
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with it.
(But I am still a bit envious of all of you in Europe who will get to see the "Privateering" tour in 2013! Hopefully there will be some officially sanctioned live recordings made available again!)

Total new experience for me after all those years, to have a show so close to my hometown again (after Dire Straits 1991/1992)...

100% sure more dates will apear, german dates even, also think we can expect turkey and greece again, poland and russia too, this looks like a motherfucker of a tour!!
-
The German venues are really strange this time ??? Bremen instead of Hamburg, Regensburg instead of Munich, Halle instead of Oberhausen or Hannover. I guess that those arenas are much cheaper than the big ones. Does that mean that the tickets will be cheaper too? ;D
-
They are also smaller in general. But after 2010 and 2011, they might have enough from all those O2 Arenas. Keep in mind it is basically the same band for years now, maybe they just want to see something new! I would be very surprised if Munich and Hamburg would not be on the list, these towns have been visited at every tour since...??

I really hope they play more than just one night in Amsterdam, otherwise I might not be able to justify the price of coming over :-\

Let's hope they add some more, & soon, so I can make my mind up!
There are a few dates before & after that are free, so fingers crossed.

Hi everyone! I'm kind of new here. I'll be going to the show in Amsterdam. I'm just trying to figure out whether the tickets for the floor are seated or not.
I've never been to the ziggo dome before and will be going with my dad, who cannot stand for the length of an entire show ;-). On the presale page on markknopfler.com it says floor section A-C, rows 1-20. Chances are high that, even though there may be seats on the floor, people will stand anyway, right?
Perhaps I'll just go for the seats on the first floor... :)

Seems they have taken a leaf from the book Dylan in taking bookings for this tour. I seem to recall we were outraged by the same thing with the BD/MK tour 2011 and Bob's management.

Cool, my mother lives there and since it's pretty obvious Mark's not coming down south once again I better book my tickets if I wanna attend a gig.
I'd love to meet other members there so if anyone is up to it let's keep in touch!

Paris is certain, so is Barcelona, madrid etc, so is z

Hi everyone! I'm kind of new here. I'll be going to the show in Amsterdam. I'm just trying to figure out whether the tickets for the floor are seated or not.
I've never been to the ziggo dome before and will be going with my dad, who cannot stand for the length of an entire show ;-). On the presale page on markknopfler.com it says floor section A-C, rows 1-20. Chances are high that, even though there may be seats on the floor, people will stand anyway, right?
Perhaps I'll just go for the seats on the first floor... :)
Yes it's a seated show.

What do you reckon the best seats will be, the ones on the floor or the ones on the first floor? Ever been there?

I think that e-mail must remain private.
I mean, if there is nothing on it that can provide more information, there is no reason to past it here, you can tell us what it says that its important about the concert.

I asked Mark will come to Turkey again and they said many more dates are set to be announced in the near future, including Turkey. Thats it folks. And it's more than enough for me i don't care about the date or city. It's going to be in Istanbul for sure btw.

an italian magazine reporting they will play 2 dates in May (Milan + Turin)
plus others in July
Cool. I want to go to Italy this time.
Outdoor. No indoor gig.
Let's see where he will play

Come to Norway!
Outdoor gig in Bergen!! :)

Been in Bergen already. Nice town.
But the gig is midweeks.
No chance. :(

Sadly, I can't do Milan and Turin but I know have the highest expectations for the 2 days after Milan.
If the dates are confirmed, I would go to Rome for sure. ;D

Just wanted to ask.
Want to go to Taormina!!! Looks superb.
What other venue can you suggest or not.
The may concerts are indoor and July is outdoor, right?
Can you explain for me please!!!

Taormina Teatro Antica makes sense to me if it's combined with Malta but that's big money. :-[
I will look closely any possibilty.
-
Waoh, Taormina, just wonderful ! I'm going to think to it !

sdded it as "unconfirmed" to the who is going where thread.

a very, very interesting location .. I'm already dreaming to sit in this teatro ... have to check it with my boss ;)

Hello people. I am new on this forum. I was on the MK forum from time to time but it is closed now as you will know.
I love this site, been here a lot and i thought now was a good time to register so here i am....
With the new dates in Italy perhaps it is nice to know that they have been confirmed at MK.com

It happened before this presale that in the store some dates were added and at the tourpage not.
Don't know who is doing this.

Is "Innenraum A-E" better then "Innenraum G-O" for Festhalle Frankfurt? ???

Bunch of dates added this morning!

So the news in Finland today are saying that MK is coming here as well, there's also a mention that the tour will start in April and feature an 8-piece band.

Just got mail from PCM, there will be only 1 date in the Netherlands and the code can be used for: Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden

The next round of Mark Knopfler's 2013 Privateering tour dates have been announced. MarkKnopfler.com member presales for 27 of 29 new shows will begin on September 5. Check the Tour page for start times of presales for the shows listed below. Please note we will not be conducting a presale for the Russian dates, so keep an eye on the Tour page for public sale details.

No Irish dates yet, I notice. Maybe they will be the final ones? ???

where did you see that it will be a 8-piece band? (MK, RB, GW, JC, GF, MMG, JMC, ???)
The ??? could be PF ?
YAYF played live??!! Oh my god this would be heaven !

No drummer? :P

But the current line-up is already 8-piece so it's probably going to be the same for the European tour as well.
-
Sorry my brain is not working well at this time of morning - give me a clue - who is PF? ??? ;D
-
Pink Floyd of course.
Nah, Paul Franklin?

Pink Floyd of course.

Silly me! Of course! ;D

I think most of the dates have been announced.
There's still a few dates after London, but they could make a break before going to Russia.
In July, between the 06th and the 09th and the 12th (maybe Switzerland) , between the 22th and the 25th
And after the 27th, other spanish ou portuguese dates.
There are more French shows than usually (7 !!!) This disn't happen since the GH tour !
-
It's not certain there will be an 8-piece band. The press release is the same everywhere and is based on either the previous solo tour or the upcoming tour in North America.
I'm hoping that the line-up isn't set yet for 2013. Would be great to see an addition!
-
Still astonished that no Hamburg, no Munich, no Oberhausen... ??? ???
Not that Germany has enough dates, but this would be the first time ever that MK did NO T play Hamburg or Munich... would be interesting to know the reasons for it...

Yes, there's been no official announcement about the line-up for the 2013 tour.
For me, no need to have MMG on this tour... Flutes and pipes don't fit well with the blues tunes !!!
-
I'd like to see Kim Wilson added. :)
-
An ideal line-up would be : MK, RB, GW, IT, GF, JC and PF.
-
Oh oh... Mike Henderson! ;D
-
Sonny Landreth !!! Just a dream...
Sailing To Philadelphia with Sonny Landreth in New Orleans , 2001, is the best version ever !

Russia is the only country without presale. Shame again and again! But...
It returned to the shedule! Yippeeee! ;D

thnx cannibals! where will you be going?
I will be going to Antwerp and perhaps also Amsterdam. Is there only one gig in Amsterdam? Usual MK plays 3 concerts in the Netherlands. Perhaps it has something to do with the new venue he is playing. I believe it can have over 18.000 people?????? But only one... We also have a few nice festivals he can play.
Pinkpop Classic, Bospop........ ???

I think because it's seated Ziggo Dome can have 15.000 max.
I think the day before will be added if sales goes well, maybe not Ziggo Dome but Ahoy Rotterdam??

Namely Mike. And if Kim Wilson came on tour you just know that he'd be overused and we'd be hearing mouth organ in our sleep for weeks! ::)
We should know who we are going to see when we are spending our hard earned on our tickets though should we not?
-
There will be only 1 dutch concert!
PCM told me

It is the first time in many many years that Mark will only play once in the Netherlands. If you take a look at other countries........ I wonder why, lots of other venues and festivals he can play here :'(...... Perhaps someone can give me a good reason :)

I Know i know, but still on the KTG tour he played 2 times at the HMH Amsterdam and 1 gig at the Ahoy Rotterdam. During the GL tour he played 3 times at the HMH.
How many people are that?

HMH : 5,500
Ahoy : 10,500 before renovation in 2009. 15,000 after. In 2008 the Ahoy was converted from standing to all seated and I guess that it was not initial plan to be a seated show.
In 2010 Mark did not play the Ahoy but did 3 HMH...

From the HMH site:
Black Box

I will help you counting:
Not seated:
5.500 standing + 666 balcony = 6.166 (balcony is always seated)
Seated:
3.500 + 666 = 4.166
I don't count the viploges, it's not always used, and when it's used it's only sponsors etc.
So that doesn't count ;D

Today several ticket agencies started their presales for the tickets that were not sell yet by MK.com of the British concert...
Which means that today was my day to buy my stalls for the RAH. Unfortunatly most of them required codes as they were private presales, except ticketline that sold directly the tickets... And I bought tickets for Stalls for Saturday 1st June :)
Not the one I wanted, that ones probably were sold by the others agencies with private presales, but good seats anyway.
At least I have my tickets. Now at the end of the month I

The last Spanish dates have been announced on the Tour page!

IngridSwing i hope you're right!!! Cant believe it, keep checking his tour page and no sign of Dublin! Guy very recently said "We always go to Dublin" so fingers crossed but it isn't half making me on edge not seeing a date. And it didnt say in the email about Budapest that there are further dates to be announced ???

San Sebastian could be perfect for my holiday on the basque coast ! ;D

There's a 6 day gap after the RAH shows and before Moscow - maybe fit it in then? I hope so for Irish fans!

Hi there
I've received the promotional code for the tour tickets but unfortunately I won't use it. If the promotion is helpful to anyone yet, please send me a PM and I'll gladly reply with the code.

As Nababo, I've got two presales codes and I will use only one for the Paris gig.
If anybody's interested, let me know it by PM and I'll send you the code.

No sign of dates for Dublin & Belfast yet ::) ::)
Theres a window after the RAH shows & Moscow so he might slot us in there :o
-
Just got a mail from mk.com. I asked why the code was not accepted. It was accepted but not visible on my confirmation. They will investigate why.
I also asked if new presales were expected for next week, because I am on a 9 days holiday.
They answered that this was not the case and that Ireland and Switzerland were not planned AT THIS TIME.
So they didn't say there won't be dates.
Just to inform you all.

In the I Paper article treath started by knopflerfan:
"We're doing 75 minutes each, then I've got time to get back on and play with Bob for a few songs. We had fun in Europe, the bands get on great and the crews get on great.
"I see Bob every day on tour. His soundcheck goes into mine, so we'll have a little chat about what songs I'm going to do.
Sounds great and really worth recording and listening!!!

I got the following answer a couple of days ago :
There are currently no confirmed plans for Mark to perform
in Ireland, Switzerland or Portugal - sorry about that. Any future dates will be
posted on http://www.markknopfler.com/tour/ and in a MarkKnopfler.com newsletter.
They know how to answer without giving any clue.
I don't understand their logic.
If you wait for a date in your country and eventually there's none, it's too late to find a replacement show and you buy no ticket.
If they announce early they won't visit your country, you have time to plan something else.
-
I know Tunnel85, but there are 2 problems:
1. they may have not dates yet for those countries
2. the promotor from the country decides when it will be known, not mk.com or PCM. They told me earlier

Remember the 2006 tour when spanish date was annouced quite late after all others

love it when he says he disccuses the songs he will play with bob, must be a big surprise each night to the bobster...
-
or GL ... I don't want to live that again :disbelief
-
guy confirmed all dates are out now. or at least that is how i interpret his reply to someone...
-
That's not a surprise . It's finished, they know it perfectly but they don't say anything. :-X
-
yeah, but now he confirmed.
-
That's true, usually he can't say. ;D
We all know there are 72 dates in 25 countries. The problem is to guess the 7 missing ones, ???
-
It might be a coincidence, but...
Yesterday I was watching a tv show about the crisis, how affected to the rescued countries in the UE and how close is Spain following the steps of the rescued countries to the crash... and realised that the countries that have noy any MK Tour Dates yet are the countries that are rescued and that their economy is very affected...
Portugal, Ireland and Greece
And Spain has 5 dates, three more than usual, but some less than GL tour, but thats because we are naive people still thinking that there will be a magical solution and we didnt realise yet how bad are we...
I repeat that it might be a coincidence but...

hungary is not exactly a prime example of a solvent country, and neither is the former rising star slovenia.
prolly a mix, and not entirely down to PCM, maybe there are simply no promotors left to take the risk?

Yes but, at least Portugal and Ireland ALWAYS had a date or two...
-
Crisis!, what crisis? . . . time for a re-issue methinks!
-
who are the geniuses who told PC & MK Switzerland had become one of the riskiest countries because of the crisis ? :disbelief

Right, here the full transcription of their long discussion :
[Start]
Bo : Leopard - Don't Think Twice - Things Have Changed - Mississippi for tonight.
Mark : ok Bo.
[End of discussion]
-
Did anyone asked the management if the tourdates are all announced or if there is anything left?

that's a great question.All you can answer is yes or no. Anything else means dates will be added later
-
Portugal, Ireland and Greece have only ever had one show each anyway so I doubt that would be any issue and Ireland were bailed out a number of years ago. MK could have a show in NI anyway and that would surely have no problem selling tickets. The reduced Spanish schedule may be due to their current status though, and our Swiss friends may just have to put up with having a show on the French border as their "local" show.

Guy has confirmed on his website that Richard B is going to play pedal steel on the next tours. So you can take a guess wich songs of the new album wil probably made it to the setlist...... That would be......... ;D

Actually, Privateering is poorly doing in the charts on both Portugal and Ireland. Entered on 13th at Lusitan market and 25th at Irish charts. Is that the crisis also or these countries are just secondary markets for MK?

If they are better than Ireland or Portugal I

Got mail from MK.com very recently. Got row 4, unfortunately what seems to be on the far left. It's close for sure, but yet not sure if I'm satisfied with it.

And a little birdy told me not to Portugal, Ireland and Greece neither...
Actually it looks like this is it, I dont know what they wait to announce that the tour dates are complete, unless they have any German date announced...
-
I know it's dead for Switzerland >:( >:( >:(
I still hope the 72 gigs / 25 countries rumor is correct but it would mean , if ever there's some logic, more Germany, more France or more UK. ???
-
Guy has confirmed on his website from a fan qustion that the tourdates for 2013 are now finalized..
So that means no Ireland ??? and Portugal :hmm..........
-
Finalized does only mean that the internal planings are done. It does not mean that all dates are already announced.

So no Greece once again. I guess they are afraid to commit with the current financial situation, even if presale starts today, almost a year before the concert. But Sofia and Constantinople, but not Athens? It is a mystery.

Once again Guy was not very positive about a concert in ireland today in his forum. It looks like it is not ging to happen...... ???

welcome Paroucia (what does the nick stand for?)
-
By the way the reason I asked in the first place, is because paroucia is the Greek word for "presence".
@Vgonis
I remember when i was reading a book about Jesus Christ and i found out he will return from heaven to earth to guid us again to right way(or something like thatY sorry my english isn't good enough :( ) any way ancient people call this return "paroucia" but the book was in Persian and i just imagine it could be "paroucia" ! sorry if it is not true! :(
The Second Coming of the Lord is actually "Deutera Paroucia" in Greek so you got it alright!!!

If you compare it to the last solo tour, it follows roughly the same pattern in terms of length and time of year so I think personally that is it until next time. I could always be proved wrong though...
-
Pretty sure it will be holidays in August, like he does for years :)
-
Lucky french people. I wish he would do a festival in the Netherlands........ :wave
