Who will we be buying the tickets from? Is it safe to give my credit card number to someone on the phone?

Hi,
Here is a link to Ramat-Gan national stadium. However, as I understand it, the seating plan for the concert is different, as there will be seats on the grass (in the middle) as well, and I'm not sure where the stage will be.

See you there!

Thanks for the information, and good luck everyone!

I have one question, I don't rate my chances of being able to get a ticket in the presale (2 phone lines, 5 operators and 1000s callers doesn't sound like good odds to me) does anyone know if people living outside of Israel be able to order the 'normal' tickets when they go on sale afterwards? I ask this because whenever I have tried to order tickets for shows in Israel in the past, either an address in Israel or a teudat zehut (Israeli identity card) number is required and I've just usually had to take my chances on the door (or one of the ticket offices like Castel).

[omri_rt]

The tickets on the regular sale are supposed to be sold by "leaan" ticket office (http://www.leaan.co.il)
On their checkout page online you do have to enter a Teudat Zehut number for the authorization of the credit card.
However, I beilieve that once tickets go on public sale you will be able to call the main office (+972-3-5270545) and purchase the tickets over the phone using an international credit card. Since you collect the tickets in the ticket office I find it hard to believe that they will forbid international sales.

In any case, try the presale. I'm very optimistic about the chances to get a ticket throughout these two days.

Good luck

What is the cancellation policy? Because according to the report on a site it says that all of our money will be donated but no one of the organizers took responsibility if the show will be cancelled to bring the money back.

Saying the worst has happen and Mr. Cohen cancels his show in Israel, like many artists have - will someone give me my money back.

The report (in Hebrew):

How blessed a work is it, to try and get good seats fir the COHEN GADOL arrival...

It is very good to be an Israeli for allmost 2 months of excitments now...

[estysa]

WOW!! The tickets are really expensive, aren't they? We had front line tickets in Antwerp, cost us much less..

[elieavidor]

I am not clear on the seating arrangement. Are rows 1-13 that are not open to the forum members on the grass ? How many rows will there be on the grass ?

[Augusta Bertram]

Hi Jarkko!

Have you any idea whether the tickets to lines 1-13 will be avilable from the local sellers (when selling begins)?

or is it lost for us and will not be sold to the public?

I'd appreciate your reply!

Thank you

Dear Jarrko,

the Leonard Cohen 2 Israel website (LC club Israel - which did promote bringing LC to Israel by a petition and stirring some media interest) has solicited sales of memberships (NIS 84 each) promising reserved seats for each member that joined early enough.

Their site - http://www.leonard.co.il - has no new info on these reserved seats, although they have posted the presale here.

Do you or tour management know anything about this?

Have I and many others been "taken for a ride?"

Thanks
