Hah, not much I could do to make them happen. Let's wait and see. By accident Eija and I have
EasyJet flights to London on Nov 16. EasyJet opens the route Helsinki-London on November 1,
and their first special offer was just 29 eur per flight including tax and costs for all November flights.

Cheaper than my train from Brighton will cost.... :razz:

Man I hope that will happen! This supposed to be one of the most wonderful venues, and I can definitally see LC doing his thing there.

I hope the 02 sells out - the most expensive ones are sold out, and also the cheapest. But I think there are still hundreds to go, If not much more.

Jarkko, please let us know as soon as you hear something - I'll carry you on my back from the plane to stage itself, where we'll both sing halelluya.

To see him there would be like a very special dream indeed.

There are many who are in eager anticipation, and hopefully not in vain.

It's my birthday on the 15th of November but I'll forgive Leonard if he doesn't do a gig at the Albert Hall on that date as he might be tired after his two nights at the O2. I just can't face seeing Leonard again in an aircraft hanger though so the Albert Hall would be brilliant. Here's hoping, we can hope can't we.

Those eagerly awaiting Royal Albert Hall news are a community of their own!

I was lucky enough to see Leonard at RAH in 1993, and I have deliberately passed on other opportunities - so far - for this tour. I can only afford one 'live experience' and could not miss out on this possibility!

I have spent the last month continually refreshing the RAH ticket page for November!
I am convinced that one day - magically - Leonard will appear for 17th or 18th or - better still both dates.

Good luck to all the others waiting patiently!

Take a break and relax! Nothing is going to happen in the near future. If and when something happens, we will be among the first ones to hear about it.

What are the *possible* concerts dependent on?

Thanks for the heads up on this. Like others I have been checking the Albert Hall, Seetickets and Ticketmaster sites several times a day! Good to know I can relax for a while...

3d (if i may call you that) i understood that the RAH shows are a possibility ONCE both the 02 shows are sold out.
that is a hell of lot of tickets though. 1st night is sold out as we know, if anyone knows the status of sales for the 2nd 02 show, that would of course be interesting to know......

having spoken to the RAH box office (about a month ago) they do indeed have him in on the 17th as UNCONFIRMED, and it is good to hear that the dates are still officially blank in their diary.

here is hoping, fingers & toes crossed...... :razz:
