leonardfan2010.......I try to welcome all newbies because I was a newbie to the forum...but not to Leonard...Known him forever............I think I have only been on the forum 2 or three months....and have been to florence concert and met the truly amazing people of this forum....and it seems as if the best part of my life has been packed into these pages...Welcome........you are in a very good and special place...........looking forward to a meet.................jeanne

FLIGHT OF FANCY.( I hide behind my age and the hour for this one ).........Instead of sleeping, I was thinking about the last few minutes of Saturday's concert.......It will probably be mind boggling...........but the picture I had was of all the forum ,wearing Look-a-like Leonard hats, and, as the master is about to leave the stage...we remove our hats, bow to him, and fling our hats high into the air above us................shouting THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, BE WELL AND HAPPY AND COME BACK TO US SOON..........of course, we might all be arrested.......can you imagine all our hats falling on non club members ? I am laughing and crying while trying to write this......I have no more gloom....I am sharing the two nights in Vegas with my son and all you great people....................................incurable romantic I am............................Jeanne

Hate to add a sour note but, out of curiousity - and with a sinking feeling - I have just been over to eBay to see how many touts have been taking advantage of our forum pre-sale. Quite a few it seems. On a quick count I estimate that there are approximately 120 fan tickets for sale for the Vegas shows as of 2.00 pm BST, with prices ranging up to $1,200 for a front orchestra seat in GG. Also I imagine that quite a few tout tickets will have been sold already since the tickets are not yet available to the public. There is a similar number of tickets for the Portland OR show available and maybe 30 on offer for Hawaii, mostly in the first and second rows.

As an international buyer, Ticketmaster.com will only sell to me on Will Call terms. It's a great shame that Will Call was not applied to all ticket pre-sales this time round. Will Call does at least makes it harder for the professional ticket touts / scalpers to make their profit.

Jeanne,
I like your idea so much.... I regret I can't be part of this but I hope you will find more followers.... I would love to watch the flying hats (trusting our "recorders of life'...)

or maybe we can just let leonard be in charge and have HIS moment

I second that!

Our Pilgrimage to the desert would surely be enriched if we ' Forum members ' and true L.C. followers could actually meet Leonard at the end of his triumphant World Tour. What do you think?

We can but dream

Great idea nomadic!

Lynne, of course everyone would be included in any meetups! We were all newbies here at one time. Looking forward to meeting you in LV! Welcome to the forum.

Best regards,
Mary

I remember in San Jose people sitting around me were not amused by the glow sticks we used during "Suzanne." I can't imagine them being any more excited about fan club members throwing hats in the air. This concert is about Leonard, after all; it's not simply a get-together for members of his fan club.

Ouch! I went over and checked, too, and I'm appalled (and, I guess, a bit naive). Four tickets in row N are being sold by "ticket capo" for $923.64??!!) These are $99.00 seats. Good grief!! Don't these people have a conscience?

I know I'll be content to watch the magic unfold onstage.

Me too. I don't want to sing along, whistle, holler or throw anything. I just want to listen and watch. I want to remember every note, every move, every nuance. This is - after all - the last chance we'll get.

Ummmmm, I'm not sure about this.

Sorry to be blunt, but I"m flailing about, at the last minute on just learning that there will be a concert (2 really) in Vegas, and I'm trying to find links to the presale incl. cost - as I've just learned of this, I'm finding it hard to wade thru all the hugs and memories and so on. This is the presale link, right? If not, then excuse my bad manners. If it is the presale link, perhaps the hugs and memories and wondering you can whistle (yes, you can), can have its own thread??? Hope you enjoy your concerts, you can clap, whistle or whatever form of expression should overcome you, I however am looking for information - Help....

***The presale info is in the first message of this thread, on page 1 / Jarkko***
