Great to finally meet you, Jarkko, at the Southwark Travel Lodge, and a big thank you for this offer of good seats.
I am lucky enough to have already bought one ticket to see Lennie in Cardiff (an interesting trip from London where i live) in row H, so I can let others take the offer, as i can't afford many more tickets at these prices. As the man said, I am financially and geographically inconvenienced, somewhat.
Just have one big wish - a good seat for the RAH, where I saw him in 93 in a less frenetic era ( don't remember any problems getting two good mid stalls seats!) but am going away from tomorrow til 29th July (long booked and no internet access) so may miss out on that wish.
Ah well, I guess I'm waiting for that particular miracle to come.

I'm not sure its that good ... they put a good spin on it and ok it guarantees money back if you dont get your tickets but its still a tout site. They are'nt fixing the prices the sellers are and you will be paying over the odds - it means anyone who can get their hands on tickets for the first few rows of a gig can make a huge mark up and seatwave take their cut.
Yeah, I hadn't read into it too closely and assumed it was something akin to
Scarlet Mist. The asking prices generally didn't look too extortionate. But I see that it does seem a "free for all" (and there's a contradiction in terms if ever there was one

)

I just bought a ticket for Brighton and got a seat in Row M, stalls. Thanks very much for whoever arranged this. I can't wait, especially if Leonard will be performing some new songs (as reported in a recent interview).
That's made my day.

I second that thanks from Cliona to Jarkko, AEG and LC's team - I also got good seats for the Cardiff show
and I third that. Thank you very much. Better seats than before too. WOW!

Am I the first to get one for Birmingham NEC - not my favourite venue but Block C Row P Seats 3-4 seemed a good offer ..... not sure how the seat numbering works [left-right, right-left]. Just looked at my confirmation though and it doesn't confirm the seats offered when I booked them - I'll have wait to see what comes through the letterbox.

Thanks to all concerned for the gesture...I managed to get pretty good stalls seats in Row L for Brighton, after failing to get any decent tickets when they went onsale last week. I could have gone for O2, but thought I'd go for a different venue, this time. It will be good to catch the last night of the tour in the UK, assuming that they don't add another show the following night. I suspect that Leonard is enjoying this so much, that it may not be his last tour after all!
All good things, John E
