The "Dome" website indicates : no cameras and mobile phones must be turned off.
It seems there are a lot of local guards (not AEG) and a very strict policy
(guards of AEG are rather cool)

Elsewhere, you can enter with a little camera in your pocket or in a small bag...

Thanks, Patrice.

This is bad news - it is going to be very difficult to spend my first and only day in Marseille without a camera.

We have two spare first row tickets for Marseille: parterre rang 0.
Box office collection from the presale so tickets will be handed over before the show!
Face value of course!

Dear coCohenites,
I'm also planning to join the meet-up on Tuesday..
Be seeing you all

Hello

if you want I can buy flowers ! I don't think we'll have problems to get them into The Dome. And I also think Harald could give these flowers to Leonard.. It's up to you.

OK just to say I went up there this morning to see the lay of the land

1.50 on the metro flat rate, about 10 minutes from Vieux Port, no problems, the station is literally at the Dome.

The venue is absolutely ghastly! It actually looks to me like as if it has gone out of business, no signage to say what it is, no boards to say what is on there, didnt really find an entrance to it, all covered in graffiti etc - really really GRIM to my eyes. So... unless some miracle transformation is going to occur between now and tonight, those who were at Barcelona which was just beautiful should prepare themselves for a bit of a shock. They were cleaning the windows so I guess we should be grateful for that! Sort of concrete jungle on its own, did not notice anywhere much to pass time if you were early. Whoever chose this for Mr Cohen's 76th birthday venue should be severely punished in my opinion Maybe it is just me.

The trucks were arriving between 10-11 when I was up there

Tried the walk back in case it comes to it. Straight down the Avenue St Just which runs down the right hand side under the overhead road and then just keep on walking straight down, once past the venue and overhead freeway I thought it was generally OK as a walk - interesting in the day time so see something outside the touristy centre. Leisurely pace took me 30 mins to Reform church at top of Carabiniere and then another 10 I guess to the port if you are down that end.

Enjoy everyone.

you're right, the Dome is ugly. If you want to appreciate Marseille, you have to take the boat and visit the calanques, or go to the "Corniche", or see the Old Port. There's nothing to see in the surroundings of le Dome, and nothing to do. It's a shame.

Many thanks to Harald, Dave and Judy for organising the meetup. It was great to see everyone and it was the perfect lead-up to a wonderful concert. It was a truly memorable day. A bientot, mes amis, I hope to see you all in Vegas! XX

Just noticed the above my was 100th post! So I too have something personal to celebate, not just Leonard's birthday! As those of you who know me will know, I don't post much, but now that I've hit treble figures there may be no stopping me! Big wink!

What an amazing last couple of days! It's truly been wonderful

Thanks to Dave, Harald, Judy once again for the great meetup, and Meritxell and Beatriz for the candles and roses. It was a truly memorable day.

Thank you, thank you thank you1

It was the most wonderful day of my life!!

Love
Tripping

Congratulations Trish! Be careful, it becomes addictive Nice to hear the meetup in Marseille went so well. Hope to hear more info on it (and photos also, please).

Patrice, there was no problem to enter in Le Dome neither cameras of photos or mobiles. This one information does not put it in the web of Le Dome. What did want to say to us with this?
