We don't know (the show might be sold out by then).
The official seller will be axs.com - the same used for our presale.
It would be wise to buy now online.

And then the good news for everybody:

AEG informs us that our presale link will stay open until just before the shows go on general sale (May 31)!
Go to viewtopic.php?f=76&t=33879 for more info & buy tickets to any of the UK shows at our presale!

Got tickets to Cardiff earlier today - centre of row E, perfect :)

Extra pleased because it's half an hour from where I live and it's on my birthday :D

Going with my oldest (sorry M!) friend - both fans since Leonard's first album. Partner sitting this one out - he's coming with me to Lucca, and he came to Lyon, Paris and Cardiff last time and enjoyed all nearly as much as I did!

Big thanks to Jarkko, Marie and all involved in this pre-sale - easy to use and perfect result.

As the years zoom by, I don't always look forward to a birthday but this one can't come soon enough!!

See you there...

Two front row tickets for Brighton have found their way on to eBay at a Buy it Now price of £550. These HAVE to be from our presale:

Wendy is right.
I just emailed the seller asking if they are genuine and how she managed to get hold of them.This is her reply.

"Hey this is the very front block.. So right at the front! Block 1 row a, it's on the confirmation, i confirmed with the venue it was the front block :) They were from the Leonard Cohen website pre sale that went on sale the 22nd of may I think it was... They are definitely genuine :) he always does his own fan club pre sale before! Thanks!"
I cannot reply to her as I would probably have my ebay account frozen for using offensive language.

Thanks for your research Foxwood. So let's name and shame: the seller is "sarah.j.s" from Maidstone in Kent. I don't suppose it's possible to track her down and delete her Forum account?? She has abused her forum membership and deprived a genuine forum member of the chance to buy these great tickets at the proper price.

Do what I have done in the past.
Grab a new eBay account and put a crazy bid in of £1000, win the tickets then disappear.
I hate touts.
