Re: Tix sale for Sydney Opera House

The presale for the third show went pretty well. I scored a Row 1 in Section C. Friends got pairs in Rows 6 and 15. There were still tickets coming up for 30 minutes after the opening, but mostly in the side and back seats. It will be interesting to see how the general public sale goes later today. ...

I'm in. Will be in line early again, maybe even earlier enought to be first in the door instead of 5th. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Bob

Re: Who's going to Sydney????

If anyone did not get tickets you should keep trying as they keep popping up. I actually found them selling tickets 40 minutes BEFORE the announced Super Insider Priority time of 9:00 AM Sydney time. I got three in Stalls Row L (12th row) for Monday and a single Stalls Row E for Sunday. A friend got...

Re: Paris 2011 announcement

Dutch, I think the Jake show on GDP is just the poster from the previous show. Jake's web site does not list a show.

Re: Who's going to Sydney????

Well, I am going. I booked the flights and now working on hotels and travel plans to dive the Great Barrier Reef after the shows. I hope I can work in a quick trip to the New Zealand show if dates and travel work out.

See you all there! Bob

Re: Who's Going to Sydney Jan 2011????

Dutch, Thank for creating this one. Is this a deliberate attempt to creat this tread in the "tour dates and rumors" group in addition to the one already in "who's going? .."? LOL The grog business must be doing well! Regardless, I have decided to go. Booked the flight and now wor...

Re: Who's going to Paris 09/24/10?

First, I am embarrassed it has taken me this long to get my Paris comments posted. Peter's show on Thursday night was beyond description. Both Jim and Peter were so gracious with everyone after the show. I thought this year’s show was much better than La Cigale. Jimmy’s sitting on stage for He Went ...

Re: Who's going to Paris 09/24/10?

Okay it looks like Duckett will make the trip to Paris (if he gets his passport in time :wink: ) I thought our tailgating is outside the venue, as the ones with tickets in the standing area need to get on line early -Isn't anyone going to be with me at 6am or so????? Isn't it reserved seating at th...

Re: 4th of July

Last year the show was announced May 22nd. It was included in the announcement of the fall cancellations. Tickets went on sale the first week of June. SB Empire is not booked on July 1-3, a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. A Friday or Saturday show seems more reasonable than last year's Sunday show. ...

Re: Paris 2010 Tickets.....

Here is my update: I received my second set of tickets - Orchestra Debout. I had to go to the Post Office to pick them up. The clerk and I opened up the plastic pocket attached to the back of the envelope to get out the pink card. It had my address handwritten on the left side, but the return sectio...

Re: Paris 2010 Tickets.....

Mine arrived without a pink card. I used to work for the Post Office. I was surprised that they actually acknowledged the International Letter registered letter barcode and had me sign for it. There is a French Post Office scan barcode that was scanned. I would expect most to arrive without the carr...

Re: Who's going to Paris 09/24/10?

I just received my Mezzanie seat tickets in the mail today. I used the Olympia Hall site, not GDP. They came International Registered Mail, so I had to go to the Post Office to pick them up to sign for them. I live in Tacoma WA, so they should be arriving throughout the rest of the country. My floor...

Deb & Rox, My tickets in the mez are row 1 seats 39/41, apparently next to Dutch's wife's single seat 43, per an earlier post. Looking forward to seeing you all again. Bob

Re: Jake Shimabukuro at the New Morning Jazz Club

Tickets for Jake's show are available on TICKETNET.FR for 20 euro. I have had good experiences with my Jimmy tickets being maile to the US for the Jimmy shows through them.

I was up front both nights on the right side. I only met one jerk who pushed his way up and stayed there acting the jerk all night. Ironically, you read his posts here. I am average height but let a number of shorter women move in front of me. One couple on their honeymoon really made me feel good a...

I went to both shows and also talked to the official video people. They were filming crowd and show material to add to last year's material. Between the three shows they are considering a DVD. This also explains why Jimmy wore the same outfit both nights. Not sure about the sound recording, but thou...
