Here's an idea: Those who made the petition (http://www.leonard.co.il) have a large database of people who wish to purchase tickets including age - if there's enough young people the cell companies could be convinced... I'm sixteen and ready to buy 5 tickets to my whole family...

Also, there must be other sponsors! The Cable TV companies (HOT / Yes) might be interested, banks (Hapoalim, Leumi etc.) and credit card companies (I know that American Express are trying to break into the Israeli market, and I'm sure that the people that they're looking for aren't that young) And maybe papers (Haaretz which is considered "cultured" paper, alcohol companies (Not beers which are trying to attract youngsters but saying Jack Daniel's for example who sell more "over 30" alcohol. etc.

Come on people we must bring him here, there will probebly no other chance!

I don't expect anything less from a people first described as stubborn and stiffnecked. (Exodus 32:9) That quality has helped us to survive, through all the periods of darkness and madness, for 5,769 years.

Friends!
I don't have anything constructive to add I'm afraid, but have become concerned as I which this post slip further and further away from the current updates with no further news. Does anyone know the state of things? I am working in Israel at the time of the concert, and by great good fortune finish my work on the 24th, just in time to go see him. I am poised to buy tickets as soon as they become available....

Jarkko, source of all knowledge, any idea about the negotiations with the promoters, and of the likelihood of the concert taking place or not?

Martisan,,,I feel confident that this concert WILL happen. I am a great believer in fate and so many weird things have happened over the last couple of weeks to ensure that I will be there at this concert of a life time. Seems like fate for you too that the proposed date is the day you finish your work! I hope you and everyone else will join me in keeping a PMA that he will be there!!

Jarkko and all the others closer to the management:
will it be possible to get tickets for members of this forum who do not live in Israel?
With all these announcements and ticket websites in Hebrew I am a bit frightened
to miss this concert. Which would be a shame especially if it should be Leonard's
last in public.
Alternatively:
could someone of you living in Israel catch three tickets for me and my friends
living in Germany.
Of course I would immediately reimburse you.

Thanks in advance!

For me, its going to be "The concert of my entire life". I thought the concert at The Royal Albert Hall in 1993 was it but I know this one is just going to be the ultimate!
I just hope I can get a ticket though with my PMA, am sure I will!! :)
