Seats at Vigo, August 13th?

[juacolameiro]

The Parque Castrelos, where the August, 13th Vigo venue is taking place, is usually divided into a general paying entrance pit (closer to the scenary, but without seats) and a free stands zone (roman amphitheatre-like, more distant to the scenary). Does anybody knows if the management of the tour is arranging some sort of numbered seating for the paying area specifically for the venue? If not, the pit will be rather uncomfortable...

Related to this event. I have spent some time following the links to purchase tickets, but cannot find the event.

HAs anyone had any luck?

[juacolameiro]

Neither do I. The event has not been introduced into caixanova.es online seller, and Leonard's official web makes no point on it. I even tried with the ticket seller's phone number (902 504 500) but the service was overloaded. Nobody says anything about the price, the fitting-out of the auditorium or the date of release. It's kindda annoying...

Thanks, Steve.
That leaves things a bit more clear. As it seams, the venue should be partially financed by the council, since the Parque Castrelos is a public place, and therefore they should offer "popular prices". The ticket sale has been put off, and no new date has been announced by the moment.

I don´t want to lose this concert and I´m really worried about all these mistery .I phoned that number these morning but the woman who answered me had no information about when the tickets would be on sale. I found this information on the internet:

I guess all we can do is keep on waiting. What is weird about all this stuff is that, for those in Galicia, the venue at Castrelos seemed quite strange from the beginning, as the other Spanish locations were the typical "arenas" or big theatres where Leonard has been giving most of the concerts since the beginning of the tour (i.e. the London O2 Arena, in the CD/DVD release). Actually, if the council of Vigo wanted a general entrance at 20 euros, the tour management could be having real trouble affording that, while at Barcelona or Madrid people are paying over 100 euros. If this is the problem, both the management and the council should have come to a steady agreement before.

As it is said in another topic above, tickets for Vigo, August 13th, are on sale since Monday, June 29th. Finally, it seems that the pit will be provided with chairs (no number, so we'll have to queue a bit). You can follow the link

https://taquilla.servinova.com/entradas/main.php#

and enter the search terms "leonard cohen" into the "Eventos / Events" box.

Be aware: although I copied and pasted the link directly, it is highly recommended that you check the security certificate. It should be emmited by "servinova.com" and verified by "Thawte Consulting cc".

No seat for me in Vigo...Perhaphs in Madrid. It´s a pity because I live in Santiago. I watched leonard cohen´s web every day and I didn´t see any change in the dates the tickets are on sale. I need two tickets!!!!!!!! Don´t you know anybody who sell tickets ?

[beltza]

Done! I go to Madrid. No problems with the tickets. More expensive but cleaner. It´s quite strange that today morning you could buy tickets for Zaragoza, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Bilbao, Madrid, but not for Vigo ...Is Castrelos so small?

the auditorium at parque castrelos looks like this:



as someone said, tickets (in this case seated general admission, no allocation) are sold for the area between the pit and the stage which doesn't hold more than a couple thousand, maybe less, so that's probably why they went so fast, not to mention the cheap price.

but thing is, the rest of the venue is basically a public park so you can justpack your lunch, go there early, get a seat and hang around to see the concert for free!! (that's usually the case and there is no indication of things being any different for this gig). the place will be packed for sure, but the public area is rather big and can hold around 16.000 easily.

if someone is in the area they should definitely try to go
