Can't wait for Cohen.

Grid.

Jeez for a minute there thought that was a support slot with Iggy!!!:D

Wow, have to get to Cohen. Went to the 'Came So Far For Beauty' concert in the Point in '06, was a great night but I really craved seeing Cohen himself as a result, hope this happens, would be a dream come true!!!

Tommy the Cat

The Kills...excellent!!!

christeb

That is huge if its true. Right up there with Brian May and the lads possibly coming back later in the Summer too (OK not all the way up with Bri but not far off)....

11 of March? Do the tickets go on sale then? i HAVE to see Cohen. I'll die otherwise.. ok slightly over dramatic but my god!!!

Do you think it'll be mostly new stuff?

aurel

What is Kilmainham like as a venue? Would love to see Cohen but not sure if it would be worth it in a large outdoor venue.

Drag00n79

Tickets to cost €115 apparently. Worth every cent!

Anyone?

Read this somewhere:

"The legendary singer's manager allegedly helped herself to more than $5 million of Cohen's savings while he was busy training as a Buddhist monk. Cohen's manager also convinced him to sell his back catalogue and continuing royalties—profits from both sales were allegedly taken by the same manager.

At the age of 70, Cohen's retirement savings have been depleted to under $150,000 and he is being forced to return to full-time touring and recording."

Welcome back Leonard...can't wait to see him, although at €115 a ticket......
ahh well f*ck it!!! He needs the cash!

I would rather a more intimate venue too but hey at this late stage in his life id say this will be our last chance to see him.

Thanks.

that'll be some rush for tickets

tickets also on sale for O2 arena, london 17th July £50-£75 this friday

christeb

Anyone know what the difference is in the ticket prices (ie €88 vs.€115)?
My buddy wants to be so close so "Len can literally spit on me". Any advice or should we just go for the €115 tickets?

cormie

Can't believe this. Just heard about this today, excellent news

What's this about 2 dates? In the ticketmaster newsletter, it only lists the 14th I see in the same newsletter counting crows are playing too! Jaysus, what's happening!

You're telling me.

Got two this morning at 9:02, went back in for another two and the Sat. 14th gig was sold out (at 9:09). Now only Sun 15th is available... :pac:

mentalson

sunday tickets still available

mentalson

ground floor tickets now sold out but plenty left for the tiered stands

cormie

How come when you pick best available it says it can't find any?

I got disconnected just as I picked my tickets (Thank you three broadband you *******!!!!!!) and didn't get back online till about 9:20. In a panic, I only managed to get 2 tickets for the Saturday together, then I saw the Sunday on sale and got 4 for that. So I MAY have some good seats spare at face value.

If so anyone who has posted in this thread before this post has first refusal. Will report back if I've any spare.

cormie

Can anyone tell me where row TT would be in block A6?



Seems it goes L-C and then b-g above. TT doesn't fit in between them

So, what I've heard about this place is true (the admins are fascists).
I was going to post something about tickets, but I better not, lest I end up in the gulags.

It's not that restrictive deal with it, there are plenty of sites for this- google them.

Anyone know how long tickets usually take to be delivered?

Does anyone else have tickets for both nights? I do due to my panic, very tempted to go both nights

JJ

Usually about a week or two but you're not allowed to hit the panic button with Ticketmaster until about 7 to 10 days before the event.

Closing Doors

Cohen is now also playing Friday the 13th!

I've just seen on Damien Rices website that he is special guest on all 3 of Laughing Lenny's dates in Kilmainham. That's a bit of a coup isn't it ?

I'm just glad I was able to get a ticket:)

mentalson

tickets on sale now

cormie

I really don't understand this seating chart.

Where is Row CC in block A5? Is it at the very back or is it 3 rows back from the very front?

[/IMG]

27 rows from the front. not bad seats

cormie

How do you know that though I can't figure it out:o Is there a more detailed seating chart?

mentalson

Block A5 starts at row A -Z , then the next group of seats is AA -ZZ , then the next 24 are AAA - ZZZ. A3 would go from G-z then start again at AA.
If that makes sense. Thats the way I'm reading it anyway

cormie

Ah yeah I think I get it now. Don't you mean the next 26 instead of 24 though? So I'd be 29 seats from the very front (alphabet has 26 letters )

oh right. I must have been out the day that they did that at school.

cormie

Did you get tickets yourself? I got 6 together in CC A5 for the Wednesday, would have preferred if they were 3 from the front but ah well!

Here's one punter that's not going in until the interval then.

Is the bar outside the tent in Kilmainham? Certainly hope so.
