I just got a ticket to the newly added Toronto show on June 8. wooohooo! These went on sale today and I was worried I was too late but there seemed to be plenty of tickets available - I went back and forth leisurely looking at different seats for quite a while. (maybe it is easier for these programs to generate a spot for 1 person?) Finally ended up in Orchestra, row C, which I am very pleased with. Of course, I am in California and am generally disappointed that I need to travel so far to see him. The possibility that he is not coming to the US seems very real however, and I just couldn't take that risk. If by some miracle he announces US dates soon (or even Vancouver) I will probably sell this ticket to avoid the travel cost to Toronto. What are the rules for offering the ticket for sale on this forum, if it comes to that?

I just bought my ticket for the Bruges (Belgium) concert, on July 10th. I wasn't that much happy since 31 years, last time I 've seen the Master in Nancy (France). :oops: :D . Thank you so much.

Got 'em!!! First show!! Wahhhhhhhhhh hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Row L

Two shows of Leonard. Unbelievable. I was thinking of trying for Charlottetown as well but I may just let someone else go who might not otherwise get a chance. Still undecided on that. I'd be on PEI anyway.

You had to be a Friend of the Playhouse ( a donor). I'm not, but I know some generous ones. :D

Got my tickets for Charlottetown!
I waited in line all morning, me and my friend were the 3rd and 4th person in line. There were 3 people working in the box office, and myself and the first 2 gentlemen got to someone first, and I was told the closest seats were 4 rows back. Under any other circumstance 4th row would be sweet, but I was first so that was weird. The lady told me the others were booked online, but that seemed quick. I bought the tickets, and went to my friend's window to see if we were anywhere close, and she was getting front row seats. I didn't understand and asked the guy and he said that the box office girl must have misunderstood, because those seats were available. I asked if they could change it, and he said they were non exchangeable. I was sad and said "even if I waited since 8am?" and he said "you know what, you're right." and changed them for me!
I got front row right next to my friend!
I <3 Leonard this much:

SOOOOOO Excited to have tickets for the LC date here in Moncton, New Brunswick. The Capitol theatre only holds 880 people. I was fortunate to be in line at a sales location (Thank you Frank's Music) and bought a ticket for me and my hot Babe Wife! I saw a friend in line about 20 people back and I knew the concert would be sold out, so i did what a friend would do...i bought 2 more tickets knowing that these fine people would need them. Yes the sell out did occur, a mere 29 minutes after tickets went on sale, and i did the right thing and sold these 2 extra tickets at face value to these people I knew. I dispise the Scalpers who buy tickets and then sell them at CRAZY inflted prices! Right now locally tix can be found at $250-400 each! And have a face value of $76. Nevertheless I would not sell my tix. I NEED TO SEE and HEAR the voice that haunts my mind! Cheers Daniel of Mnkeytown (Moncton) NB Canada.

That's very good of you -- the real spirit of this kind of event. It's great to subvert the plans of jerks who want to unduly make huge profits off the sincere desire of fans to see good music. I would really have liked to be in the position to pick up tickets for others who would be unable to get there fast enough, but it was all I could to to scrape together the dough for my own ticket :-(

Very much looking forward to the Kitchener show!

Bob Dylan is now booked to play in Moncton also this May!!! I am in a Euphoric mental coma right now! I could only imagine if Dylan and Cohen would preform a few songs live, but alas I ask for too much :)
