well Jarkko confirmed 25 July in another thread! I came back from the coast last year to see U2 so happy to postpone my trip to the coast this year ... and everyone else planning to come can now combine it with their summer holidays!!!! Seriously I hope it doesn't inconvenience too many people and it is certainly a surprising choice (flights tend to be more often in summer but also more expensive) ... mind you, the new intrigue is what else will there be between this date and mid September!!!!

Yes, AEG London confirmed today Zagreb to July 25.

Zagreb excited right now. Actually people seems to like the new date (or, to be honest, any date at all!). Of course that many will have to change their Summer plans.

I still have all tickets for our Forum members with me (only rickmond was in Zagreb, and took his:), which they paid via bank transfer during the pre-sale for the Forum and Croatian website.

I'd like that in following couple of months our friends decide can they make it to the new date (July 25), and also make a plea that they give the opportunity to other fans here and in Zagreb to get those tickets (rows 1-4).

I noted some people here already asking, and we have at least 5-6 people fans in Zagreb who didn't make it in time for the fan pre-sale via this Forum. I believe that those people (and people from Forum) can pay the original amount to the ticket owners abroad (i.e. via PayPal), and then I simply can give the tickets to the new owners on July 24-25.

OK, mabeanie1/wendy, IrishMar (with IrishAl:) are now on the list (via PM). We already have 4 free seats and 6 people ready to take over those tickets.

I can't say right now who is coming in July. Particularly because it's one week before the event in Krakow!

The original guests are coming in mid-March and the meet-up will go as planned, without the show. We're expecting Jarrko and Eija, Henning and Elke, Ta Ken, Margaret, Marco and Andrea, Wijbe and Willy, Pauls Stubbs, (Paola?). I can't say who of them will be here again on July 25, except Paul Stubbs, and other locals (Juraj, Jurica, me).

I have tickets which belongs to forum members (6 or 7 of them). Ciarran, Paul Gray and others (I know only real names, not Forum nicknames to write them down). In any case, I don't know how can they get money back from abroad, even more without the tickets. I can get the refund for them and send the money via PayPal. Or collect money for those tickets from local fans and pay via PayPal. But for you abroad, you will have to pay via your bank to those people bank account, while you'll get the ticket from me before the show. VERY complicated I know

Hopefully some of the "refunds" will be very easily dealt with by direct PayPal from the "new" ticketholder to the original ticketholder. Bank transfers are a nightmare from the UK so I am hoping I will be able to avoid that but if that's what I must do then ....

We are relying on your organising skills Tom!

PS I wonder if a show in Ljubliana will materialise this time? I do hope so!

I am also keeping my fingers crossed for Ljubljana.

Yep, the best thing right now is to wait a little bit longer because there's whole August for Leonard to do something after the Zagreb show ;P

Yeah !!!! So happy with the new date for Zagreb in July. Will definitely combine the concert with a week or more in Croatia. It would be great to have a Hydra-style meet-up since so many of us will be together.
Once again, out of a negative comes a positive. The universe is still looking after the Cohen fan family.

Me and my friend definitly coming and I hope, that You still have our tickets. The new date (July 25) is just two days shorter to the second anniversary when we first time see master Leonard in Lucca. The hardest thing now is waiting!

Ok, I expected that you will come, you're almost local

Our friends who are coming for the meet-up now in March mostly will not come in July (and it's also to close to the Krakow event, while the difference is again so big - 7 days - so they can't connect the Zagreb sow with Krakow LC Event).

We will organise another meeting on July 25, at least for a drink drink (it's Sunday but there are some places which will be opened), especially because we will have probably some other Forum members coming (and I have all the tickets with me:)

Here is quite a good guide to zagreb (not as good as Tom of course!) which people might like to have a look at before they arrive:
