Hi Jarkko!

Thanks a lot for getting Leonard Cohen to Finland!!!

Do you have to pay the tickets when you order them on the pre-sale on Sunday 25th?

Best wishes
Juha

The presale date changed twice today. Now it is going to happen on Sunday (see the first message in this thread.

The tickets have to be paid immediatelly and the reservation cannot be completed without payment. You have to use a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Eurocard). The Finns may also use their online bank codes.

[Jari]

Ok, thanks for clearing that. I discovered this place today, so I'm not familiar with what's going on.

Is it possible (for Finns) to pay straight from a bank account (siis nettipankin kautta, en tiedä tarkkaan miten se sanotaan englanniksi), or do you have to use a card?

[jarkko]

Kyllä, suomalaiset voivat käyttää nettipankkejaan. En tosin tiedä, minkä pankkien verkkopainikkeet Menolipun sivuilla ovat käytössä, mutta varmaankin kaikki yleisimmät.
Kannattaa hankkia liput heti ennakkomyynnin alkaessa, sillä tarjolla on todellakin parhaita paikkoja kussakin hintakategoriassa, ja Menolippu jakaa ne tilausjärjestyksessä.

Jari: the presale on Sunday will be hosted by Menolippu.fi

Help - I've just checked that site & I can't see a translation button!!? Will I be able to navigate the site to be able to buy tickets (English spoken only! )

Ok, niin ajattelinkin. En ole vaan koskaan asioinut Menolipussa, niin piti tarkistaa. Ja tottakai homma hoidetaan heti kahdeksalta.

Kiitos.

Chrissyb: I have seen the front page of our presale, and at least it is bilingual (Finnish/English).

That's excellent, Jarkko!
Thank you so much for a great news!
Is there ticketfast (print-at-home) tickets available at Hartwall? Last year we were there for a Simply Red concert and they were not.

[jarkko]

Our presale will take place on the website of the local ticket seller Menolippu, and I ám not sure if they offer print-yourself-tickets.
The general sale is going to be on the websites of the international ticket sellers Lippupalvelu or Lippupiste (local Ticketmaster / Live Nation companies) and downloadable tickets are often available.
(But you will get better tickets at the presale)

Thank you so much Jarkko! Concert in 2008 was fantastic, and this time my wife joins me too

According to Menolippu website, you can get the tickets either by mail or by collecting them from a Lippupalvelu agent. There's no mention of printable tickets, so they PROBABLY don't have that option.

The Lippupalvelu website has links to other Cohen shows, so I guess the general sale will be handled by them. They should have the printable ticket option.

Thanks! In this case I'd better post them to my friend in Kallio.

YES, this news certainly saved my exhausting day and maybe even the whole year. I never would have hoped that He would be coming back to Helsinki And to think of that this time I might actually be getting good seats. Last time I unfortunately missed the presale.
