Why Sligo ffs :eek:
I know he's done Dublin twice in almost as many years, but Sligo!.
Anyone going, genuinely I wish you all the best and envy you.
The reason for choosing Lissadell House in Sligo is because it was once the home of Irish poet and play write W.B Yeats, Leonard is a big fan,
and after 6 sold out Dublin shows Leonard's management decided to seek a new venue, the idea of playing Lissadell house came about when Leonard received a book of poetry by W.B Yeats from a fan during his last stint of Dublin gigs,
The venue looks interesting and great, but its gonna be very hard to get to for anyone who doesent have a car, even if you do have a car the roads are pretty terrible around there, I hope some sort of bus service is set up!!!
ah well by hook or by crook I'll be there!!!

It is a possibility! I'd love if it was the Friday as I'm staying in a B&B beside Lissadell House the Friday and Saturday and if Len played the Friday I could lie in the garden (weather permitting) drinking a few cans and listen to the gig

I'd love to go see him but I can't afford it. Considering he's 75 years old and has performed here a lot in recent years I may very well bitterly regret my lack of funds.
That is such a shame. No point regretting something out of your control though. I'm trying not to think of funds especially if I manage to get my hands on a Stevie Wonder ticket Tuesday/Thursday. Will be so worth it though and if it meant living on beans and toast I'd not miss Leonard for anything but I'm lucky in that work has got busy at the right time.

Your welcome! Yeah I got good seats. Block A row J seats 22-23. But I'm one of those who once I can see and hear Leonard I'm happy enough 0 -

The BF joined the fan club to get me tickets for my birthday...
Had a feeling that this concert was going to sell quickly, and having seen him twice in the past three years, didn't want to miss him this time around!
Don't know what seats we have, but as long as I can hear him (and see him on the screen) I'm happy out.
There doesn't appear to be any accommodation in Sligo left however!
Nice BF and good attitude regards your seats! A true Leonard fan
I prebooked my accommodation the minute the concert was announced as I figured it would become an issue for people. I got a B&B right beside the venue for €38pp per night!!!!!! Delighted with that Bet the owners are raging they didn't up the prices! 0 -

Seen Leonard in Kilmainham two years ago... beautiful warm evening, atmosphere was very special .. crowd were kind of in awe.. bit like going to see the Pope !! I'd give it 10/10.
Our gang had two sets of seats, some up close (4th or 5th row) to the stage and others down the back. At the interval we swapped seats....it was the decent thing to do
Completely different vibe at the back from being in the front section. Front section people were completely silent and no talking.
Down the back people were walking around singing along and drinking, smoking, eating etc.
Think if you have choice of seats go for right at the front (awesome experience) or right at the back (cheap and cheerful and bring along your six-pack and your Woodbines) !!
Will be in America myself on the dates of the Lissadel concerts .. otherwise would probably go .. hard to see how he can keep touring much longer at his age. So go see him while you can.
Great that a big artist is comin west to play... only downsides I can see are
1). Irish Prices are off the richter scale, when compared to other countries (I don't begruge LC the money.. but as for promoters and Ticketb*stard.... Arggghhh)
2). The logistics of County Sligo might be tricky and/or Accomodation difficult to find/expensive. Hate to see it become another Barbara Streisand :eek:0 -

Nice to have discovered this thread... Got my tickets for the Saturday, and dang, I'm looking forward to it. Saw him last year in the O2, without doubt the best gig I have ever been to. The setting for this one could make it even more special. I'm in Block D which is to the left of the stage as I will be looking at it.
The accomodation factor seems to be a bit of a problem now. Rooms are like hens teeth. I am willing to go through some hardship in searching, plus the 4 hour drive because I know he will deliver the goods again and make it worth it. Lets just hope for nice weather. If the sun shines we could be talking about one of the most memorable days of our lives!! 0 -

Yes hopefully the weather will behave itself! In regards accommodation go to http://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=21656 where you will see plenty of possibilities!0 -

Leitrim or Donegal are other possibilities for accommodation - neither are too far from the venue.
That is why the organisers decided to put Westlife on the Friday night so any unforeseeable problems can be sorted before Leonards gigs 0 -
