Hey everyone,

just bought my ticket, so hopefully, meet you all there!! Not the best seat - but still ok, I suppose, and not many available any more at all! If Tel Aviv goes through, well, I will still go for that and I am sure that it is well possible to sell on the Barca ticket; but otherwise, the way it looks now, please include me on your list, will you? I'll send you a PM, Maarten and jorcx...

Hi Womanfromaroom,

Where abouts in the arena did you manage to get a good (ish) seat , we are looking in areas 119 or 221 (70€ or 50€) but obviously will need to be quick.

Correct, that is why I decided to go for it without waiting for the Tel Aviv announcement now! I am in Block 114, Row 12, Seat 6 - so that should be all right!

Oh, by the way - is it normal not to receive a confirmation by Email right away? I have gone for the pick up option, and I have got my print-out receipt - but I find it strange that I haven't heard anything from them so far...

Normally we have got them from the arena/concert place direct, or from going in to a booking agency, here in France we normally use Carrefour, which is a large supermarket chain, where bigger shops also have a booking agency, so I am not sure what happens with Ticketmaster but, we too are booking and picking the tickets up "on site", so fingers crossed !!

Yes, Vicomte - fingers crossed! Where are you going to sit now?

Alas, nada

Congrats again though to the wonderful group who will be able to share Leonard's birthday celebration with such great friends and fans!

Dick and Linda

Dick, as long as you don't feel tempted to use the "Chelsea Hotel Plaque" funds, I would be really happy to meet you there, too - after all, you are a really friendly person and one of the Forum V.I.Ps! Anyway, I am happy to see so many of you on the list already; one reason why I finally went for the Barcelona ticket...

Here's two more Cohenites from Germany for the list:

90 Dolores - Germany
91 Womanfromaroom - Germany

We got confirmation by e-mail pretty quickly after buying our tickets back in April. The confirmation came from ok@ticktackticket.com. I'm sure there won't be any problem but it may be worth checking your account just to make sure that everything has gone through OK.

Finally got everything sorted ............after a "long" 45 minutes. We had to go up to the 2eme level, as getting two good seats together was proving pretty difficult and the 70€ seats we found, were not as good (hopefully !!) as central 50€ seats near the front in Sector 214. In Nantes we were just a few rows back but hey, we have the Barca tickets!

I also managed to get a double room in the Hotel Oasis for the 21st, so all booked up now also ready for the lunch and meeting fellow "fans".

Our confirmation and ticket reference for collection at the ticket office at the concert were emailed to us almost immediately, so if you haven't received the same, it might be best for you to get on to them asap.

Aaargh, still nothing... This just makes me so nervous I can hardly tell you, I have had a similar experience with the Antwerp concert! I have emailed Ticketmaster with the order details that I have, i.e. order number etc., but so far, no reply... AND my account does not seem to be "known", either! Nothing I can do right now, I fear!

There must be something wrong. When I ordered my tickets to Barcelona, the confirmation came within seconds (I guess it's automatic), and the tickets were delivered next morning to my home by courier.

Yes, I know. But there is no way to check this right now, without any access to my account... I'll just wait for their email reply and, failing that, I hope that there will be some tickets still available for a second try, no matter where.
P.S.: Thank you all for your replies, anyway..

Second edit: I have managed to retrieve the site where I gave them my email, it is no doubt correct. But they don't recognize my email now when I enter it, so this is a real mystery... Also, I somehow got an error message saying that my seat has been allocated to someone else, but really, this might just have been my refreshing the page, with the ticket sold anyway... I don't know, I'll just wait for their reply now, I guess, before I end up with an extra ticket I have no use for...

Third edit: I don't want to keep "entertaining" you with Ticketmaster error messages etc., but I just feel so unhappy right now... For when I actually try to order a new ticket, entering exactly the same data as before, the site tells me that I already own a ticket. All this is something else that is too complicated for me, I'll just shut up now, be patient ( ) and see what is going to happen...

Last edit (I hope! ): I just received an email by them saying: "Dear customer,

we inform you that your purchase with reference number [...] is correct". Phew! So see you all there!!

we got our confirmation back fairly quickly and the tickets arrived within 7 days. It says on our email confirmation that you can check the status of your purchase at the "purchase follow up"
section or if there are any problems contact them on central@ticktackticket.com

Great news for you Wfar, bravo........ à Barca

excellent glad you got sorted out, probably see you there then

Hello everyone,
it is me again
The hotel issue has been discussed some pages back. I have just checked, all those where many of you are staying seem to be fully occupied by now. I think I will stay in the Hotel Condado, Aribau 201 instead - it seems to be fairly near to the hotels of the other Cohen fans, but also just within walking distance to the centre, and seems to be good quality and reasonably priced. I thought that those of you still looking for accommodation might want to check it out? And - no, I do not get a discount for dropping their name here...
