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

Quote LE: "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)"

That is true LE! People living at the German border can travel faster to cities in Germany then to Amsterdam, which in my case took almost 3 hours!  ;D

I won't attend the concert in Zwolle because I already bought tickets for Amsterdam and London for me and my husband. IF I knew before that he would visit the Northern part of our country like Zwolle or Groningen, then I would prefer to attend a concert in one of those places instead of Amsterdam. It will be cheaper then because we don't need to stay in a hotel that night.

Last week my son and his girl-friend have been to the IJselhallen in Zwolle for a concert of Meatloaf. He thought the quality was very good!
It might depend where you are standing of sitting, but it doesn't have the quality as the HMH or Ziggo Dome has, because the Hall is also used for other activities!  ;)

If the hall is half filled maybe Mark will yell to the audience again: "We are going to play for a long time!". Like he did when he played in Groningen, during his Golden Heart tour. That concert hall (Martini Hal) wasn't filled either. Though back then his name wasn't familiar among many people. Everyone knew Dire Straits, but Mark Knopfler didn't really ring a bell. That is why on the CDs there were always stickers with something like "The voice and guitar of Dire Straits".

Anyway, I am not worried yet. Still 3 weeks to go. I am sure alot of people will do a last minute booking. And they probably do some promotion activities in the last week. Like an add in the local Newspaper or whatever. And if the hall isn't full.. don't worry, then I will make enough noise to compensate for the empty seats.  :lol

Almost 3000 tickets sold. I think there are approximate 5500 seats for sale.

Hm, interestingly enough, it seems that either a lot of seats have been sold in a day  :disbelief , or they're reducing the number of seats (and possibly reducing the lay out of the hall...) Below you can see available seats, yesterday evening, may 23rd, as compared to a day before on the 22nd.

I believe there was some promotion this week. People asked me if I go to Zwolle so they must have heard or read it somewhere

He mentions it on almost all bootlegs from '96 I have. Must have been a joke or no concert was sold out... :lol

Is it easy to get from Amsterdam to Zwolle? If so I have to look flight prices...
