Hi. There is a Facebook page for the Saturday concert: Parrotheads in Paris 2013 the get together is at the Hard Rock Cafékatlevosb wrote:we will be in Paris for this concert. we have tickets for 26/9/13. where is the tailgate party? we will be in Paris also on saturday but no tickets for 28/9/13 - we want to go to the tailgate party nonetheless. any information is greatly appreciated.
Many of us are not arriving in Paris until that day. We will check in to our accommodation and then head over to Parc de Villette. I guess it will be late afternoon before we get there.

IF his training date is after, say, Oct 5, we are going to try to end his 3 months of retirement in an epic way: Paris for Buffett (this 26th date changes everything. I was thinking it was only Saturday, which would have meant an early morning Sunday!) followed by watching a friend who is playing his rookie season for the Vikings in London on Sunday.
We are good with last minute travel - that's how we do everything. But it's the last minute tickets to this specific show that concern me. How sold out is it? Do scalpers exist there? Usually closer to time easy to find some? Or downright impossible? In which case, we see enough Buffett, we can always just come for the party!

I guess I qualify as a Paris veteran.........
For every Paris concert since 2007 there has always been tickets available on the day. Not scalpers (they are not so common in France) but from people who have friends that cannot make it. However there does seem to be more people looking for tickets this year than previously
I believe there are still tickets on sale for La Trabendo, as many people had already made their travel arrangements when this was announced, so I don't think you would have any problems for Thursday. For Saturday, keep your ear to the ground and keep watching here and on Facebook.
Bonne chance!
Bob, there are usually people either in the queue or at the Hard Rock café (tailgate) who have extra tickets. If you are going to La Trabendo you may even find some there. Its always worth trying the box office on the day too, I have known them to have tickets that have been returned. When do you arrive in Paris? It could be worth trying La Cigale box office on the Friday?bob3435 wrote:no shoes wrote:aealderm wrote:Any of you paris veterans: how hard is it to get tickets last minute?

Do you mean that there are people at the venue with extra tickets or is there a particular website that they go to? I was able to get 1 ticket off of Ebay but still need 1 more. If I don't find one before then, I am assuming I might be able to find one at the venue before the concert? Thanks, Bob
Hi. Not sure how you feel about ticket sites or what you want to pay but I did see some tickets for sale today. They are however about double the face valuebob3435 wrote:We will be in Paris on the 25th so I will have time to check at La Cigale for an extra ticket. Thank you so much for the info as it makes me think we will be able to attend. Fins Up!

my husband and I have had tickets since April. I am so psyched for this 10 days in Paris. See my post on Parrotheads in Paris 2013 on FB. ![[smilie=battingeyes.gif]](./images/smilies/battingeyes.gif "battingeyes"){kind=small}
