Just to make sure.... The EST referred to in the previous post - it's Eastern Standard Time, here in the United States, yes? Just want to make sure that all of my little duckies are in a row...

***Yes, EST always means Eastern Standard Time / Jarkko ***

This sounds like Oakland fans will have to wait till 11 a.m. PST to buy tickets, but people in other parts of the world will be able to buy their tickets for the Oakland concert at 10 a.m. PST, i.e., one hour before us local folks in Oakland??? I don't think this is what you mean, is it?

Well, it's nice that you guys get 4 extra shows! I am from Alberta, Canada. The shows here are in enormous arenas where you can't even see Leonard. Our shows are in enormous arenas where you are paying big bucks for shows where you can barely see Leonard! He could have played in smaller venues here, and then played more shows! I feel that we Canadians have been shafted!!! I payed $180 for a show where my seats are not good! :(

Hi, in Calgary Leonard is playing at the Jack Singer Hall, which is a beautiful small venue with excellent acoustics and less than 2,000 seats. Too bad for you in Edmonton, though! At least you got tickets. Do what I did at the O2 in London in November...bring binocs! You're still in his presence!

I'm confused. Is it 11:00 am just in Oakland, but in San Francisco it is 10 am?

NEW SHOW INFORMATION: Thursday, March 5, 10am-10pm local. The password will be shown on the Forum at 10 am EST.

I don't want to miss out again, after NYC and the April 2 Austin show. I am in Alaska, 4 time zones from NYC, EST, and 3 time zones from Austin, CST.

Do I understand things?
1. I have to wait until '10 am EST' to get the 'pre-sale code'.
2. I begin at '10am CST', Austin time on the Long Center site.

Thanks for encouragement and the information is much appreciated.

The show that was added for May 6th Chicago theatre does not show up on ticketmaster as of Tues March 3rd 4:45 PM. I am new to this presale protocol. What is the procedure? I obtain the password from this forum 10:00 Am EST on March 5th, which is 9:00AM CST (my time). The presale on ticketmaster is at 10:00 am CST for the Chicago show. Will there be a place asking for the password on the ticketmaster site? If someone could confirm these issues for me I would greatly appreciate it. I have been a fan of Leonard Cohen for over 30 years and have waited for the opportunity to see him. I want to make sure I am taking the correct steps on presale day.

Yes to all questions in the previous messages. Isn't all that already said in the instructions?

Hello all. I just heard about the concerts, am a HUGE fan for life, and would love to be able to buy tickets for the added show in Oakland. To be most sure I can do this, I joined this forum and read carefully the instructions. My question is this: I see that the "fan club" can buy on a presale date, Thursday March 5th at 10 am, and that the password for this sale will be on the forum at 0700 PST. Ok here is the question part: since I joined the forum, am I now a member of "the fan club" that can access this ticket sale? If not, how do I join a "fan club" so that I can?
I thank each and every one of you for your help in this matter, Leonard Cohen is the one person I'd most like to see in my lifetime. Thanks for your support in helping me to do this.
