Soon and very soon we will be left with only tour memories and not tours. One day soon we will look back with fondness on the time we were
lucky enough to be in the position to complain about ticket scalpers snaking tickets to a Leonard Cohen show.

Well said, Scocoh!

Well said is right, Scocoh and Jarkko.
That is the overriding painful truth.

In fact, we are lucky to even be able to complain now... and it's good to be reminded of that at a time like this.
There was a time not so long ago when this situation was totally out of the realm of possibility ~ period.

Everything has its own, larger perspective.
Thanks for putting it squarely there, Scocoh.

Very very true ( though i hope not that soon ).
However we are best off living in the present and not the future and that includes a firm wish that for the next x years while leonard is performing people can get their own tickets at face value and not be ripped off .... not ever in an ideal world!

Even better said cohenadmirer.

I prefer to look back and think of the good times, the times when seeing a Cohen gig was not a case of having to buy all manner of other items to purchase a good ticket. As has been said often enough, surely the large majority of his ordinary fans, call them what you like, simply want to go and listen to the man, not to be forced to buy "art" and whatever else is being put in front of you, as a necessity to purchasing a good ticket. As George Harrison put it , All good things must pass, so I won't look back and have regret for the the end of LC tours, I have enough memories of the great and the recent days but I will look back and think how it ended with all this high pricing of tickets which all too often included materialistic items which had no place in a concert ticket.

I got a pair of front row center PIT tickets for Louisville without buying the VIP passes. They were the standard, price level 1 seats.

That's wonderful, cjethomas . Congratulations ! It may be that the larger, maybe more-in-demand venues like Radio City bonded the very best seats to the VIP packages. Or it could be that you got one of the scattered ones. Not sure. Only know that it doesn't appear to be standard across the board.

I also got Pit tickets in Louisville without buying a VIP package. I am thrilled!

Congratulations to you, too, Spindrift ! YaY for those who are being successful in that! There's HOPE!!!

anybody want to help out a fan who is stuck with extra tickets to the Miami show?? I cannot go anymore and want to sell them....great seats, let me know. I'll sell below face value even!
