CONCERTS OF THE OLD IDEAS WORLD TOUR IN EUROPE

[Kiwi56]

Wohoooooooo, what an announcement !!!

[holydove]

This is soooo wonderful & miraculous & ecstatic!!!

Jarrko & Marie, thank you so much for all the fantastic info. I wished I lived in Europe!!

I was just thinking, wouldn't it be nice if a bunch of us non-Europeans could rent an apt. or house, & just stay in Europe for a couple of months (& of course, needless to say, go to all the concerts)??!! Yes, it's a (greedy) fanstasy, & I will be infinitely grateful for whatever concerts I can get to, but these fantasies just seem to crop up in my mind, all of their own volition. . .

Perfect! I leave UK on August 19th, so will be able to make Ghent again - one of my absolute favorite venues in 2010.

Joy, I'm glad the schedule is working out so nicely for you! We will probably come to Ghent too & it will be so lovely to see you there!!

[Actually]

Ha, finally.
Now all I have to do is hope that I will be able to take a few days off...

I think quite a lot of us will want to be there for that first concert, Rachel...... it will be a wonderful reunion!

Jarkko, or anyone, have there been any discussions about festivals?

Glastonbury 2008 was very special. Even better to be watching Leonard with 'non-fans' and watch them slowly turn into disciples

Sadly, there is no Glastonbury this year. But yes, another festival would be cool...

[somewhat_nifty]

Personally I'd hate to see Leonard at a festival! The terrible sound systems, the noise, the hordes of people. Much nicer in a cosy concert venue

hi all
for once i will also try to interprete Jarkko
in his signature he writes for 2012: X / Helsinki / Verona
I would understand that like he is planning to got to another concert before Helsinki, which is not announced yet

I trust you won´t be angry with me, Jarkko - thanks for everything you do for us - looking forward to meet you at least in Verona - and best greetings to Eija and all finnish friens

This is awesome news. Some stunning venues there, Wuhlheide in Berlin is a wonderful venue, right out in the middle of the forest. Really easy to get to on the S-Bahn too. Arena Di Verona is another I would love to go to.

Gutted they're both on weeknights, but more gutted that work internet blocks forum access so I'll not be able to get involved in the presales.

Don't think so.
25-26-rest-28-29-rest-31-rest-2
3 days of rest during 9 day period. Two days out of nine - hardly imagine that.

P.S. Oh. Sorry, I understand you now. I'm thinking too much about Sweden.

so where's the "Dublin help for newbies" thread then???? Come on.....

Go Alan!...

Here's another guess - Wouldn't Jarkko want to attend the first concert of the tour? ... So maybe Ghent will not the first concert ... I'm still hoping there will be 1 or 2 concerts in Central Europe. Well if not, I will take Berlin!

Such wonderful news! I can't wait to hear more about the North American leg of the tour! But, I will look forward to YouTube videos from Europe to tide me over until then! (Irish Al, are you ready? )

Jarkko (or others in the know), I am still a newbie to all this, although I did purchase Las Vegas tix through the presale here in 2010. I want to be prepared for some presales, so what do I need to do? For Las Vegas I think purchase was via Ticketmaster, is that the case with these new concerts? If not, how should I be prepared to pay? Are credit cards OK, or must I set up Paypal? And, because I only know English (I know, ugly American--but I DID take 3 years of French in high school many years ago), will I be able to navigate through the pre-sales? Any help will be appreciated.
