I certainly want to be there, and I think I have No Parrot convinced it would be fun (what is ever wrong about a trip to Paris?). Just have to make sure he doesn't have to work or appear in court those days. Then I'm getting the tickets (concert and airplane).....
Kirsten on RadioMarg says there may be other Paris dates announced. Anyone know what she's talking about?

If anybody needs balcony tickets we bought too many, have a few to spare! We thought other friends were going but they can't manage.

We need two assigned seats, too! Thanks! We already have our flights and hotel booked but can't find two seats for us. Thank you!

La Cigale is not large (1300 if the floor is used for standing) which means the balcony area is pretty small. As far as I can see there are no reserved seats available from any of the original ticket sites. GDP, Ticketnet,FNAC etc. I did find this morning a few seats available via French resellers but they were asking silly money!

Standing is great at La Cigale, we spent his last concert there leaning on the stage and so close we could have reached out and touched Jimmys feet :-)

However - and heres the but - to get in the front of the standing area you really need to be in the queue pretty early in the morning. Its not as bad as it sounds. We have had some great times standing on Parisian streets prior to the show, you never know who you will meet - see my picture :-)

There is a long time to go yet. It is enevitable that tickets will come up for sale prior to September. Just keep checking.

Some of us stood/sat all day and still didn't get to meet "him." And it was a lot of fun tailgating on the sidewalk, but very tiring. Great memories of being with the parrot heads.
