How the hell do the Guardian know and yet we don't yet?

The presale is very openly mentioned on the main website:

Yes, but the presale only for Fan Club members, and that's us, Leonard Cohen Forum members.

Legendary Canadian songsmith Leonard Cohen has announced his only UK show will be at The Hop Farm in Kent in September 2012.

Taking place on Saturday 8th September as part of his world tour, the exclusive show will be Cohen’s only UK date in 2012. The crowd will be treated to an ambitious set stretching to over three hours of the artist’s classic songs, selected rarities and showcasing new tracks from his No. 1 selling album – “Old Ideas”.

The show will take place at the Hop Farm venue in Kent, home to the Hop Farm Music Festival, which takes place earlier in the year in June.

Vince Power said: “To get the opportunity to bring Leonard Cohen to the UK for his only appearance this year is a fantastic and humbling achievement. He is one of the undisputed forefathers of modern folk music and has honed his craft for nearly half a century. We’re over the moon he’s decided to join us for what will be a truly memorable experience.”

A Day at The Hop Farm with Leonard Cohen will be an open air, seated event.

Members of Leonard Cohen’s fan club have the opportunity to purchase advance tickets from 9am on Thursday 12th April. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 9am on Friday 13th April.
Seated tickets cost £85.00 and Standing £65.00.

Tickets available through eventim.co.uk 0844 249 1000 and other agents.

What are the presale details?

I guess we will get link here from AEG Live via Jarkko, as for all other concerts.

[bean]

Seated or standing?

Any thoughts?

I was thinking seated.

[somewhat_nifty]

Depends if the people standing are in front of the seats!

Depends if the people standing are in front of the seats!

True; I had assumed that the standing would be behind the seats.

Anyone been to the Hpp Farm before?

[somewhat_nifty]

I've been to the festival, which was pretty awful, but not these one-off concerts. I hope it's better arranged. I'm assuming that there will be standing in front and then tiered seating behind.

[anneeshipley]

sound aweful---outdoors in sept, 10,000 people, out in the middle of nowhere.......

[John Etherington]

I've heard it's a nightmare going home, as well!
