A wonderful gig with Leonard performing his heart and soul out. The apology was interesting with him saying he only found out about the change as we did. He made a veiled remark about the dark side of business and how he never 'gets to shake or crush the hands' of those behind it. He did seem quite ...

Just had a look at the Eventim website and suddenly there seem to be lots of really good seats available in the front blocks for both Saturday and Sunday night. Yesterday there was hardly anything.

Looks like they have released some that were being held back.

I think the capacity was very similar for both Wembly and the Hop Farm. The normal Hop Farm Festival is standing, this wasn't. Looking at eventim, it seems that sales are great for both nights, with virtually all of Saturday gone and some towards the back on Sunday. I know it has been a really diffi...

I suspect we will probably never know the full reasons for the Hop Farm venue change. This article from a local Kent paper has a quote from the Hop Farm people saying A message on the Hop Farm website states: “We have received information from the organisers of the Leonard Cohen concerts on the 8-9 ...

I'm going to risk buying seats now and get a refund. Row 13 not bad and to wait longer seems risky.

But like you say, how can they fit everyone who bought a front seat, if they are already selling them to new people!

I have just checked the hop farm festival website and it is totally offline.

This doesn't look good...

To every heart love will come
But like a refugee

That line from Anthem gets me everytime.

In fact I put it on order of service for my wedding!

I think the change in ticket pricing for gigs generally is also due to the fact that the economies of the music industry have changed. Before mp3 and illegal downloading artists made the majority on album sales and gigs were there to promote sales of such. Now, artists make much less money on albums...

It is a great song and so full of tension. I had interpreted it more as being about divisions along the line of the Christian right vs liberal - expressed through a couple's altercation. One "on the side of the meek and the mild", the other on the side of "The Word". And the chor...

Thanks for the update Jarkko. It does sound like an odd situation that the promoter has announced it and an on-sale date before it is agreed properly. I wonder if this means the public on-sale for Friday might be delayed? Tricky, as it's hard to know when to take time off work to ensure I get to the...

Dear Ronaldson,

Thank you, thank you for sorting that out and sending the link!!! I managed to get a great seat for Sunday night in the Orchestra area.

Without you I would have missed out.

You have made a Leonard Cohen fan very happy today!

All the best and thank you again,
John

That link doesn't lead to shows anymore - so I fear they are sold out

Damn, no dates coming up as says no shows - so must have missed my chance.

Can someone send me the url to get the options on all dates?

Help!
