Tom: are these places easy to get to by bus? Wendy Fairly easy .. I mean unlike rail services which have been decimated, buses still exist and there are reasonable connections between towns. Hiring a car is really recommended though if you really want to see Istria and beyond (some of the places An...

Istria, including Pula remains my favourite part of this beautiful and very varied country! Of course, mass tourism was developed here from the 1950s as a source of foreign currency and so, indeed, Pula will be quite crowded in August at the height of the season. It is less crowded than it could be ...

size does not matter .. just happy to be named in there Tom

Parterre 1, row 3, seat 20...in the center, but actually this is the 15th row from the stage. And I've payed in total 127 euros with NO delivery. Very sad and disappointed :( 300 euros for the best places???? The world is getting crazy!!! I'm not interested in food and beverages included!!! But I'm...

Be careful re row 1 tickets - the top price tickets are NOT at the front! According to the seating map, the whole of row 1 by the stage is already sold. Wendy Exactly .. the tickets closest to the stage cost 440 kuna (VIP Parterre lijevo or desno). The more expensive ones are for lodges around the ...

managed to get row 4 for Ljubljana .. happy although I wonder who the first three rows are reserved for ...

thanks Jarkko et al (again!)

Paul Ryanair not so cheap to Pula, quite expensive in fact. James T try booking.com there are some cheap hotels if you are not after plush that is. The problem is that it is right in the heart of the tourist season which I guess is why the flights are so expensive ... You'll need to go to the Ryana...

bargain seats -perhaps the best venue ..... expensive travel :cry: Pula has an airport which is served by a number of cheaper carriers including Ryanair see http://www.airport-pula.hr/index.php?menu_id=25 As Tom wrote elsewhere, it is also not such a big distance by bus from either Zagreb or Ljublj...

Wouldn't they have to be called evince or Vincee ????

Big stadium gigs, sky high prices, big cities...I can feel the excitement already.

Yes, like 64 eur for the front rows, in a big city of 85.000

I even heard that if the city is an anagram of your name, then front row seats are free!

P-a-u-l

We don't have a date for the UK announcement yet. On Monday 5 European cities will be announced, with presale on Wednesday February 27. Tom: Does "Europe (mainland)" include at least one city on the sea? Because one rumoured venue is very near where the Mediterranean goes most deeply into...

My main fear is the delay in releasing more Euro dates is that they may be considering postponing the current shows in the same way they did on the 2010 tour where lots of fans lost a lot of money. The Spring tour 2010 had to be cancelled because of Leonard's back problems. The doctors forbade him ...

I asked my AEG contact about this. She says: Announcement/on sale has not been approved yet for this show. So let's stay calm and patient. Staying very calm and patient Jarkko - YIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D (or am I reading too much into the magic word 'yet'?)

I remember Rob Hallett posting on twitter or facebook (and reposted by Allan Showalter) that a set of dates would be made public around the end of January. I guess we simply - wait for it - need to be patient!

well, I guess I am grateful that it is still not "Leonard Cohen - once the darling of the counter-culture, now the voice of the idle rich"
