I wanna go there! (I come from Nice. Why did I ever leave? *wailing*)

You think Rufus will do his Hallelujah cover?

Alain Bashung has released a new album yesterday: there's a cover of Suzanne on it, in French, lyrics by Graeme Allwright.

Hi Bela,

Where did you find this information. Sincerely, Ray

Hi, Rbtahke: I got the list here: http://www.nice.fr/mairie_nice_474.html
But, as I said in my other thread about the Nice Jazz Festival, there is no point calling the phone number on that page b/c they don't know anything about it and are not dealing with it either.

Hi, So long ago: tickets for those concerts are not on sale anywhere yet (they will be released in May) so no one knows how much they will be yet.

I will keep you all posted.

may? really?

wasn't that april 4th?


and, have u got any astimation at all about the price? is it worth waiting, or will it be really expansive?

Where did you get 4 April from? I received an email from FNAC (they will sell tickets for the festival) saying they would go on sale in May. I posted that email somewhere on this forum (you might want to do a search for it.)

I have no other information and cannot speculate on how much they might sell for. Sorry. Just sit tight and wait for info.

hey,

does anyone know when the nice concert goes on sale, and what's the astimated price?

will it be seated tiks?

thanks...

thank you steve

man.. i really really hoped it would be seated...

I imagine Leonard will be at the upper end of that range. The site says tickets will be on sale soon.

I understand that the festival uses two or three stages simultaneously. These pictures show the main stage (where I assume Leonard will play) with a standing audience http://www.flickr.com/photos/benoitdarcy/143000268/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/thethingisgav/201967396/ . This picture shows a smaller stage with a seated audience http://www.flickr.com/photos/daneski/199362153/.

Thanks for the info. Tickets will be cheaper than for the O2 Arena (even if the euro is still worth a lot of money). Not sure whether May qualifies as 'soon', though (I got an email from FNAC telling me that's when tickets would be on sale. Unless they've decided to release them earlier.

The Arènes are an idyllic site. I expect that's where LC would be performing. It's absolutely gorgeous on a summer evening.

is there any chance any of you has a spare ticket to the nice concert?

i know this is a slight chance... but i'm almost desparate, i think i just might end up not seeing him after all

Augusta,

if you read the earlier posts, you will see that the tickets are not yet available. You will be able to buy tickets from the places that are mentioned when they go on sale.

i'm sorry, i'm cnfused, i meant lyon... wrong thread

I know we're in the wrong thread, but since you asked: If you want to look in English, I would post a 'looking for' ad on Lyon's craigslist page...if you are comfortable doing this business in french, there are a number of similar pages. I've had great luck finding tickets on craigslist. Other than that, you might be stuck buying from resellers and getting ripped off, but it might be worth it:).
