seat exchange between BD/MK slots
« on: August 06, 2011, 02:57:06 PM »
Hello there,

as the first seat assignments have been sent out, I was wondering if it might be a good idea to set up a thread where people can agree upon sharing there seats.

I am sure, there are a lot of BD fans who are simply not interested in seeing MK. And on the other hand, some people only bought tickets to listen to MK.

In conclusion this could lead to some empty seats in the front during the MK slot and when BD starts to play there might some good seats remain unoccupied because of MK fans leaving the venue who can't be bothered to listen to BD.

So this thread good be the place where BD and MK listeners meet and arrange a seat sharing to get the best live experience.

Is this a good idea?

yes, but it should be set up on their turf as well, otherwise there won't be too many deals, i fear.
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

Just received the mails. I got section 102, row 1, seats 1 and 2 for Mannheim, so I suppose I must have been the first one who odererd?? LOL
Anyway, and I got row 5, seat 10 in section A for Berlin, even though I ordered just a couple of seconds later... Interesting.
Am quite satisfied, though!  ;D

Thats a very unlikely situation.

Bob Dylan fans know that their only chance to get a good spot (where there are no seats) is to queue and they do not know yet, but they are gonna love MK set  ;D

MK fans (us) know that if we get good spots during MK part, we will want to mantein that spot like when someone reach the top of a mountain and stick his flag there. And also we will want to know how is when an artist change his setlist so frequently and how he plays the song in a way that even die-hard fans can
You might get lucky, now and then

It struck me last night that it might be difficult to work out when "Ze running of the bulls" will be allowed - because of the shortened set. I am not sure MK will play Telegraph Road, so I think I have to read the first reviews to work out if and when the folks were allowed to stand up and rush to the stage - which I considered not to do because I really want to try to go to my show unspoiled...
(Not that I have any hope to perservere...)

So what do you think? Is it likely that the Dylan fans allow us to rush to the stage?

Unless they are bullfighters, do they have a choice? ;D

Well, I thought they all must be 20 or 30 years older than us (on average), so I only wanted to be polite... I know of course that you, from row B, will be the first Knopfler fan to stand up and rush directly in front of Mark's place... I will have an eye on you and follow you up immediately!  :P

MK is the "first act", so no running of the bulls allowed until Bob set, and, well, who will do that during BD set?

 ;D

Well, I will do "Ze running of the bull(s)", in case of need all alone, to give Mark the right response! Marbletown would be a great opportunity!

Was there bull running during the ATRR tour? If so, after which song? Would be interesting to know; I can't remember...

It was after Speedway, because we didn't have TR on ATRR tour.   I ran to the stageside at Manchester.  

It was slightly different to this tour, though, because MK and Emmylou didn't have two separate sets.   :)
