The concert of Ourense is awaiting an economic agreement between two local authorities according to local press...

¿Toda la disputa es por 50.000 euros? Son ganas de fastidiar.
Esperemos que se solucione y podamos comprar las entradas pronto.
Un saludo, Chema.

Por lo que leo en "la voz de Galicia" parece que se ha llegado a un acuerdo con la xunta y que las entradas se van a vender a finales de este mes.
