Hey guys,
My name's Mark. As a young Cohen fan ( I'm only twenty

)I would adore the opportunity in getting to see him this summer; I've seen he has announced a Belfast gig - does anyone know if there's a Dublin gig announcement in the offing, or is just Northern Ireland he's playing this time round?
Thanks a lot!
Mark

Oh really?
That's my 21st birthday! Has it been announced yet, do you know? - I've only seen it on here.
Cheers,
Mark

Yeah, just looking at it now, cheers. Any idea how much tickets will be? Is it just the one gig he's playing in Ireland this year?

I rang the 02 in Dublin today and they do not have anything for Leonard Cohen . I hope this is not a red herring

Considering it hasn't been officially announced yet, they're probably waiting til tomorrow, or the end of the week, to announce the show. Sure the Belfast gig was only officially announced today.

Its not showing up on their website either but if Jarkko says its confirmed I'm going to believe that.
Mark, I don't think there's any info on ticket prices yet and so far just one concert in Dublin confirmed, although I'm hoping for more

Cheers for that, buddy. Seeing as it's the 02, I'm guessing around 70+ euro.

Shadowplay, guess a little higher... and for what its worth , Leonard Cohen is worth it. i saw him four times and if he plays Dublin four more times, I will pay to see him. Wonderful to see someone so young eager to see him. My 11 month granddaughter dances to Closing time, wonder if I can sneak her in under my coat

I think the top price ticket is €125 for the Dublin show(s). But as Tinderella says, it's well worth it. I saw him 6 times last year. The were by far the best concerts I've seen in nearly 40 years of concert going.

Two concerts in Dublin will be announced (July 19 and 20), and one in Belfast (July 26). See the presales thread.

Bill's Bar - what makes you think the tickets will be €125?
