Brussels, 20 october: confirmed! (and SOLD OUT?)

Post by phd107 »

We knew, for some days, that Leonard Cohen would visit Belgium again before the end of the year, but we expected that this new concert would be focused on the yet to come and much expected new album. At this time, it looks like it will be for the same - great - gig seen this summer.

Tickets can be booked as from today, 17 July at 9AM, Brussels time: http://www.forestnational.be/pages/even ... sp?id=1235
Prices range from 39 to 79 €.

Update: Tickets can be booked only via http://www.sherpa.be but... this service doesn't seem able to manage huge peaks of demands. Don't hope to get some of the best seats: they all where gone within minutes and with many difficulties. I had my tickets booked... until Sherpa.be web site went down. When they came online again, it was over: no more 79€ seats available. Very, very frustrating...

New update: 9h 45: And now no more 69€ seats ("parterre").

Correction: 10:20: Another proof of Sherpa.be's technical problems: seats from Cat. 1 (69€) are available again.

aaaaagh I just bought the 59 euro tickets because it said the other two were no longer available!!!!
GRUMBLE.
oh well, I already saw him in Bruges (close to the stage, too!) so I won't complain too much... that'll be another 10 euros towards the programme or a shirt or the pins!

* I already started a thread on this show.

* Your use of the word "confirmed" is incorrect. Just because tickets are on sale does not mean a show is confirmed (we know this from Berlin earlier in the year). A show is only confirmed when it appears on the list from Cohen's management.

Yes, I bought the 69 euro tickets because it said that golden tickets weren't available. I looked later and they seemed to be selling golden tickets, but only in singles. The phone line crashed, so I did it online, wishing I had paid more attention during French lessons at school.

I am pretty sure that I saw something resembling an online confirmation of my booking but I haven't received an email to confirm. Bit worried whether it worked.

Anyone from the city of Antwerp attending the concert on the 20th? Live in California and will be staying in Antwerp during the month of October. Need a car ride to Forest. I'm a nice guy :)

Was planning on taking the train to Brussels Midi but might not make it for the last train back.

Thanks for any help!
