Concert in Zwolle - June 7th - Hall is almost empty!
« on: May 17, 2013, 06:44:38 PM »
Dear all, see attached picture: the room in Zwolle is not yet fully (!) booked.
I calculated that about 2500 seats are sold, there are about 5500 seats available... grey is occupied, blue is available (obviously...)

I wonder what the influence on the concert will be, when the room isn't packed! (Sound, mood, atmosphere...)
I stitched the picture together: each part of the hall can only be seen separately when booking tickets, so that's why it looks so crappy..

If someone, upon seeing this picture decides to help filling the room, but doubts about ways to travel, feel free to contact me!
(Zwolle has good train connections to Amsterdam (Schiphol airport 1,5 hour), Rotterdam (Rotterdam-The Hague airport - low cost cariers 2,5 hour), and also Eindhoven (Eindhoven airport - Ryanair2,5 hour). It would be difficult however to travel back to the mentioned airports after the concert, so a hotel is probably required.

Well, the first 20 rows are occupied, then the center block is occupied, so it is not completely empty...
What do you mean, Pottel, when you say "no more than row six?" Do you still want a ticket, as I may have one available at row three, PM for that one

I think most Dutch attendees bought tickets for Ziggo Dome as it was in the tour dates from the beginning. Zwolle was added just a few weeks ago. It's likely they will not buy another set of tickets for another show three weeks later. I won't go to Zwolle as it's too far away for me, just like Amsterdam. Usually I go to Cologne, Brussels or Antwerp. ;)

There were a lot of seats available in block C a couple of days ago. They are now gone... So maybe after the Amsterdam concert there are a lot of people buying for Zwolle.... Hoping to hear Sultans! ;) ;) ;D

the ijsselhallen are a few halls all together.

In which hall will the concert take place? I think it's the AAhal  ??

I guess the AA hall will be used, based on the pictures on their website. That hall was built in 1990.

I got tickets for row 5, which is just fine by me :-)

 Or maybe they should stop playing in Dutch towns that no one's ever heard of?

Zwolle show was a replacement because of free capacities after the Russia shows were cancelled. So maybe that's the reason. Fans already had booked via pre-sale where they want to go and there are a lot of shows in that area, Europewise seen! (Amsterdam, Bremen, Antwerp)

One concert in Ziggo Dome is equal at wat MK normal does, 3 times HMH in Amsterdam..
This one in Zwolle will not be sold out i think...... :think

Well, check out wikipedia and you can remove Zwolle from your "Dutch-town-I-need-to-know-more-about-list"!  :D
(Zwolle, a province capital,  is bigger and has more inhabitants than Luxembourg, which is a capital of a country - and that was sold out..)
