The Ljubljana concert is on the holiest day of the year..... St Patrick's Day.....any Irish bars in Ljublijana?....

Quite a fair few I think ... and plenty (including one or two quite good) Irish bands in Zagreb at least and I am sure in Ljubljana too!!!!

Belfast Food and Orthodox Celts are my favourites. Check this out ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCAS-9P0lt0 .. come to Zagreb and Tom and I will teach you the words!

ticketpro.hr now has a link to the concert stating that tickets will be on sale from Monday 9 November

The promotor announced ticket sale begins Nov 9, so Ticketpro is prepared for that date, but it seems nobody told them about any pre-sale for fans.


Direct link for Cohen tickets: http://www.ticketpro.hr/jnp/glazba/2892 ... cohen.html

The tickets can be purchased online (PDF downloadable ticket) and in stores in Croatia (locations & maps: http://www.ticketpro.hr/jnp/prodajna-mjesta/index.html)

I don't know how to buy tickets
What is CET?

via web (with credit card) on ticketpro.hr or at one of the shops which you can see if you click on tom's link
CET is simply Central European Time and that's us!!!!

We didn't have the pre-sale BUT -

we can reserve the tickets and buy them directly from the agency. They sent us an email with all the instructions and contact (ivana@lupa.hr). But until I see is there a way to reserve 50 tickets at once, tell me if you're interested so we can make the list of people. If we cannot reserve tickets as the fan club, I'll forward you the email with instructions.

VIP PARTERRE - price 450 kn (2 blocks x 20 rows x 20 seats each, numbers starts from middle)
PARTERRE MIDDLE – price 400 kn (2 blocks x 25 rows x 20 seats each row)
PARTERRE – price 350 kn (2 blocks x 30 rows x 20 seats each row)
TRIBUNES LOWER, sectors 101 – 116 price 350 kn
TRIBUNES UPPER, sectors 301 – 313, price 300 kn
VIP SUITES (1-15, w/o suite 7 and 9), price 700 kn.

Plus, 151 seats for wheel chairs

It seems that we will get the chance to reserve a bunch of seats as the fan-club, but more tomorrow. Paul, Jasmina, Ken and Cioran have confirmed their interest. Plus of cours,e bunch of Croatian fans.

The list for reservation was closed last night.

We got reservations for VIP parter rows 1-5. Row one is reserved for Jarkko and Eija and Henning, then goes the Croatian website's guests and friends, and then the rest of us in rows 3-5 I hope that's OK.

Now we have to see about payment. As this is direct email order from the promotor, I'm afraid that the payment systems like ticketpro will not work - you will have to pay via bank transfer directly to the local promotor!

Also, nobody saw the seating plan so far. We all know there are the most expensive tickets "VIP lodgas" - let's hope they are not between our "front rows" and the stage........

Bratislava
Any idea about tickets for Bratislava - will there be any available for Forum members, when will they go on sale and what are ticket prices like there?? Apoligies if I have posted this in the wrong place!

Tom

Thanks for all that! Will we get some information on how to pay?

From the seating plan, it looks like we are fine, the VIP boxes are well away from the front ...

Ciarán

Where did you get the plan? and is is the general plan for Arena (20,000 people) or seated and made for Cohen show (where parter is seated)?


This is the list of people who wrote me thru the Forum; plus we have 50 local fans so alltgother it will be about 75 reserved seats in VIP parterre.

two seats in first row reserved for Jarkko & Eija
Henning Franz
Ken Forsyth
Marco and Andrea
Paul Stubbs, UK - 4 karte
Ivan Strugar - 3 karte
Jasmina Reis, Zagreb - 4 karte (cijela obitelj)
Paola Pigozzi, Italija - 1 karta
Ciaran Dorr, Ireland - 1 karta
Branko Kržišnik, Slovenija - 2 karte
Paul Gray, UK - 2 karte
Viktoria Krčelić, Hrvatska - 2 karte
Rick Mond, USA - 3 karte
Ivana Palanović, Marija Bistrica - 2 karte
Ivan Štefulj, Hrvatska - 1 karta

Payment: as you're not buying from ticketpro system but through direct email order from the promotor, I'm afraid all from abroad will have to use money transfer from bank account. More on Tuesday.

I got the plan from the Ticketpro site. It's the seat plan for Backstreet Boys and Rammstein! It was just to show where the VIP boxes are (safely tucked away!)

Ciarán

Thanks again Tom for all your hard work.

I'm really quite excited (a state of mind I rarely experience these days) to be finally visting Croatia and maybe also Slovenia.

I'm planning to arrive in Zagreb on the Friday evening leaving plenty of time over the weekend to explore your city.
Your info about the late train back to Zagreb from Ljubljana has increased the possibilty of me attending the Ljubljana concert.
There do seem to be a lot of trains that travel across Eastern Europe in the dead of the night.


To think I promised myself NO MORE CONCERTS :-)

hvala ti.....ken
