[weljenks]

WOW...I can't believe he's going by himself again and that the rest of the band is still afraid to join in. WOW!:shrug

[dmbisgod]

im happy for european fans...

going to see if I can book my senior trip earlier....:)

[VAdmbfan2]

Yea...I would so fly to europe to see a show. But over the holiday season its just too much money. One of these days I will make it to Ireland. One of these days...

Just have to find me a travel companion. Any takers? hehe
:rolleyes

[iwoosh]

Mon / Feb 26 / National Stadium / Dublin, Ireland

[superfint]

Fucking Yes!!
Nearly blew my beans when i checked my emails!!!
Finally-Dave in Ireland-thats ehat am talking about!!!!

[Focaccino]

Hey guys! Guess I'll see you there... going to make the UK ones and Brussels + Amsterdam for sure....

Dave in Ireland too, maybe see if there is a cheap flight for that one..

Any ideas why he's not playing London? Keeping it as 'british isles' as possible I'd imagine...

[superfint]

AH he done London twice this year,great to See Glassgow & oxford get some love too!Spreading it out!

I'll be at Dublin,Belfast,Manchester,oxford &....possibly,will have to see with work-AMSTERDAM!!
Is it 2007 yet???!! :)

[DMBBonas07]

sounds very nice for europe, a nice 13 date run!!! I wonder if there will be enough time for a short little D and T spring tour in America....I hope

:rolleyes

What holiday season are you refering to?

I'm happy for Europe, but I think it would be cooler if the whole band went. But I guess you have to take what you can get.

Hope all that are going have a blast!

;) :D

[phelps1540630]

I wish I was rich... DM in Ireland would be heaven...

[Koreelove]

That whole run looks nice....damn, if I only was planning a trip to Europe at that time, that would be awesome. Travel through Europe and see Dave....wow!

[phelps1540630]

Yeah, you are right but Ireland is number 1 on my list of places I want to visit in Europe...

[superfint]

Yeah, you are right but Ireland is number 1 on my list of places I want to visit in Europe...

Its over rated over here-trust me!
The Beer is the best tho!:D

[whntjon]

I'm looking for some help in buying tickets to a few of the shows. If any "International Ants" can help out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Jon

[DMBfan41]

soo, guess who will be studying abroad 40 minutes away from Oxford?

FUCK YES!!!

[Alasken]

Fuck yeah!!

Gonna book tickets to Amsterdam tomorrow. What's the best way to get tickets? Thinking of joining the WH and requesting tickets right now. Will that work? I mean, will I be able to request tickets right after I join??

Fint: Thanks again for the e-mail. Have you heard from Ben?

I gotta decide between Paris and Amsterdam. Anyone know the venues? I was looking at La Cigale in Paris, and it looked awesome...it takes about 400 seated people, which is NOTHING...the show's gonna be all standing though, but it'll still be intimate just like KING'S COLLEGE :D :D :D

[jez_notts]

I went to Kings and I've been to La Cigale. La Cigale is larger than Kings, its longer and more narrow where I would say Kings was shallower but wider if that makes any sense. La Cigale is an awesome venue but I may be biased as I love Paris. I saw Jack Johnson there before he got so big, was one of the best gigs I've been too. Seriously thinking of going over to see Dave there.

[Alasken]

I hear ya man, I was at King's College as well, and know what you mean when you say it's wide. I looked up Paradiso, the venue in Amsterdam, and apparently it's a legenday "rock temple". It's actually an old church. I just joined the WH right now, and I'm gonna request tickets for me and a buddy tomorrow. I'm also gonna book plane tickets tomorrow, so I'm gonna be devastated if I don't get tickets.

Now, the dream would be to catch both the Paris and the Amsterdam shows! They're not really far away at all, with the highspeed trains!!

[BKeener]

The coincidental thing is I'm from Virginia, but I am in Manchester doing my master's. You know where I'll be on March 1!

[timoutback]

sounds very nice for europe, a nice 13 date run!!! I wonder if there will be enough time for a short little D and T spring tour in America....I hope


Not a chance. The whole band will be here in April. Sorry mate!!

[DancingKitty]

Are there any European Warehouse members that would be able to request Milan ticket for me? I'm from NY but I fly for free so I want to see Dave overseas. I always said if they play italy again I'm going. So if anyone can help that would be cool.
Thanks!

[Wilko]

I think it just going to be Manchester and Oxford for me, but glad to see you are not doing things by half again Fint!
Looking forward to catching up with the gang!

Anyone know what the two SA guys were called that worked at Wentworth as I wanted to say a big thank you too them and see if they needed a lift?

I'll thinnking of the Paris gig too - i've just come back from Paris and would happily go to a small gig there. Damn, March just got very expensive.

[nico_france]

Wonderful ! I'll go to Paris...If I can get a ticket !
I only hope all american fans won't take their holiday during this time and buy all tickets for the show lol ! (even if I really don't know if french fans would be able to fill the place?)

Anyone else plans to go to paris?

Ps : La Cigale is really a good place for shows. Really small with good sound. I've seen Chris Rea two times there. It was really nice...
Ps' : does anyone know if all the tickets will be on sale at the same time? (november 17th) The show is not even mentionned in the website...

[jez_notts]

I'll thinnking of the Paris gig too - i've just come back from Paris and would happily go to a small gig there. Damn, March just got very expensive.
Luke La Cigale would be awesome for Dave, when I saw Jack Johson we walked up the hill to Sacre Coeur after wards and there were loads of people about playing guitar, the view from there is awesome over Paris, I'm definately tempted especially with the cheap flights you can get.

[European Ant]

I only hope all american fans won't take their holiday during this time and buy all tickets for the show lol ! (even if I really don't know if french fans would be able to fill the place?)I surely hope that to ;) - I also don't think that the venues will be booked that fast, but after you have had a look at Proudest Monkeys (Forum for European DMB Fans) (http://www.proudestmonkeys.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=10469), your judgement will have changed ... sure thing! :)

See you in Brussels on "that Friday" (ca. 150km from Luxembourg)!!! I'm looking forward to it SO MUCH!!!

Julian.

[Luke1981]

Just requested tickets for Dublin, MAnchester, Oxford and Paris :thumbsup

[antscavdmb]

Does anyone know where we will be able to purchase tickets when they go on sale to the public???

[dmbdreamingtree]

i want to go to france to see dave....maybe ill win on a scratch off.

[SmoothRider[PL]]

I hope for getting tickets to Berlin and Koln.
Let's pray for it :-)

[Alasken]

just requested for amsterdam...want to go to paris too, but not sure if I've got the money for it, and need to book plane tickets tomorrow.

[DMBfan41]

Keepin my fingers crossed, I just put in my request for Oxford tickets!

[tynan7]

Keepin my fingers crossed, I just put in my request for Oxford tickets!

I didnt think you could get WH tix if you are US???

Anyhoo, I plan on doing Newcastle and Oxford at least...

[DaveHead36]

Thankfriggingod!!! I've been planning a trip to England for the last week in Feb. I'll probably end up going to the Newcastle show if I can score tix. Seeing Dave solo in England on the 23rd and then heading up to Liverpool to see LFC play Sheffield United on the 24th! What a weekend!!! :D :D :D :D :bounce :bounce :D

I didn't think so either, but I checked today and it said "Request Tickets Now"

So i hopped on that.

I'm gonna be studying abroad next semester in Wroxton which is 40 minutes from Oxford. So, I really really hope to get tickets.

I think the European warehousers have top priority though, i'm sure

[DaveHead36]

Kool,Sounds good,apart from the Liverpool game!!:p

Nooo... i'm going strictly for the Liverpool game... the dave show is just a bonus! :D Who you support? With a dislike of LFC my guess is man u, chelski or arsenal? edit: just saw your myspace page, a villa fan huh? Now it makes sense, you mad because we ended your unbeaten streak? ;) hehehe just teasing

[whntjon]

In the process of booking planes and trains for Offenbach, Brussels, and Amsterdam! Now if I could just get some tickets! Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance!

Jon

[Wilko]

Alasken, are you coming to the UK at all?

I think there will be too many people hanging around after the gig and Manchester isn't the kind of place I want to hang around!

[superfint]

HAhaha-Villa-We rock!!
Na, i was well bracing myself for a loss at Anfield after your Man U Loss,we had to be beaten sometime soon.
We have slipped behind a bit over the last few years but we are on the up my friend & be taking 3 points off the likes of you guys in a couple of years ;)

Sweet Bonus for ya tho-Dave solo to go with your footie match!

Wilko-I missed your call buddie,i was shoppin in Tesco's & left my fone at home!Drop me an email later lad,of to work now :(

looks like I won't be able to afford it...would like to come back, but it'll have to be another time ...

Anyone?

[mattward2k]

I didn't think so either, but I checked today and it said "Request Tickets Now"

So i hopped on that.
The request system is automatic and doesn't work on an address basis (as they'd have to program something in which is pointless and time consuming), so it can't tell where you're from. It's when they got to check and confirm the requests that they will check the address of the request and deny it based on that. Same thing happened in February.

[mattward2k]

Anyone?
I'd love to but I'm not going to Milan. Remember that all the WH tickets for this tour are will call, so you'll have to find somebody who's going to the Milan show to meet up with and grab the ticket off.

[Sniper15]

I kinda wish he wasn't doing this tour becaue it takes away studio time for the band.

[DaveHead36]

wow, an american liverpool fan. i like you already!! :hug

Sweet... always great to meet a fellow Dave fan AND Liverpool supporter!

[GaMba]

Oh My God... Oh MY GOD !! Dave in France !! :bounce :bounce

(Nico, tu seras à la Cigale toi aussi ?)

[Markt23]

How many people from the US are going to see Dave? Really going not just saying they are going. I would like to but seems a long way to go for Dave solo.

[whntjon]

Count me in! It's only 11,000(airline)miles from Alabama! Yes it is a long way just to see Dave solo, but it's Europe! I look forward to the planes and trains, the views, landmarks, and Amsterdam! What better excuse to travel abroad than Dave Matthews!

[Isweetwhirled]

Sweet... always great to meet a fellow Dave fan AND Liverpool supporter!

wow...and we both have george harrison quotes in our sigs! :thumbsup

what airline?

[bopanic]

im trying to hit the brussels and amsterdam shows.

does anyone know if US ticketmaster sells tickets for shows out of the country?

i went to ticketmaster and when you type in dave matthews there are no shows scheduled. i know that the public onsale dates are not till next friday or saturday. but how are we supposed to get tickets on the public onsale date when ticketmaster doesnt carry them?

any ideas?

since our WH accounts are pointless for this tour.
thanks for any heads up!:thumbsup

[lezcuff]

Hey Dave, feel like a stop-over in Newfoundland? Tacked on to Europe is the only way we'll ever see him on my home turf.

so is tim definatly coming with dave or not!

[mattward2k]

im trying to hit the brussels and amsterdam shows.

does anyone know if US ticketmaster sells tickets for shows out of the country?
As far as I know, no, they'll only list shows for the country of the TM you're on. DMB summer tour dates don't get listed on the UK TM, for example.

[mattward2k]

so is tim definatly coming with dave or not!
Nobody will know that until it's confirmed by Red Light, so there's no point asking. We can only hope :D

[bopanic]

so is tim definatly coming with dave or not!

no definite. but would you want to travel europe alone?

im sure his family will join him but why not a good friend timmy to go along as well?

[bopanic]

As far as I know, no, they'll only list shows for the country of the TM you're on. DMB summer tour dates don't get listed on the UK TM, for example.

your right i did some looking into this, and for the amsterdam show that i want to hit. i have to go to the TM amsterdam site, the show is already listed on there and the on sale time and date is the same set up as it would be in the US its just done thru a holland site.

good thing there is an option for english on there or i would be really lost! :lol

[Alasken]

for the peeps trying to get tickets without the WH:

when I was getting tickets to the Kings College show in London throught the UK ticketmaster I had to have an english adress and switch solo visa card to pay for it...it resulted in me timing out (you only have 3 minutes to pay) and not getting tickets until Isweetwhirled sold me a spare....(thanks again ben :D )...so I suggest you look into that and e-mail the dutch ticketmaster and ask them exactly what you need to buy the tix.

[tresch]

im so f-ing pumped now
and i hope timmy is comin along
im glad there arent that many people that want to go to the germany shows here...
so ill have them all for myself!
hahaha jk but at least i dont think i have to worry about not getting tickets
and the best thing is the locations im goin to (offenbach, cologne) there is no seating! so u bet ur ___ that ill be in the front row

[DMBfan41]

so to buy tickets for the Oxford show, I have to go to the UK Ticketmaster site.

And then I should be alright with a Visa card, right?

I wasnt, for the Kings College show in february..needed a UK adress, as well as a switch solo card (not even sure what kind of a card that is...visa, I presume)

I am busy trying to convince my mom that we should go to Europe for the England/Ireland/Scotland shows....

I got my Toronto DMB tix through TM Canada I believe, and I live in the US. You have to select the option "US address" or something along those lines...

EDIT- Yeah, when you select your shipping method, you have to scroll to the area where it says "Customers In Other Countries."

[Bo56]

Oh My God... Oh MY GOD !! Dave in France !! :bounce :bounce

(Nico, tu seras à la Cigale toi aussi ?)

Wonderful ! I'll go to Paris...If I can get a ticket !

To nico & Gamba : please contact me, we will talk about it !

[iwoosh]

you going to that one?

yep - DUBLIN !!! only 1...but better than nothing :D

[tresch]

anyone who comes to the concert in offenbach can prolly crash at my place.

[Panoramical]

Do Warehouse tickets get priority seating? I dont think it's worth £28 to pay to join just for this gig...i mean it's not as if they are all going to sell out just through the warehouse for Oxford for example...

thanks for the heads up, thats what i was thinking about customers in other countries. i emailed the holland TM site to see if i would be good with a US addy and a US visa/mastercard

ill let you guys know if they get back to me!

nice offer! too bad you dont live in amsterdam!

I can't believe it and i just hope this is not a dream : they mention that it's a DMB show

:multi:multi:multi

[European Ant]

I can't believe it and i just hope this is not a dream : they mention that it's a DMB showThat's too good to be true! The DMB management says it will be a "Dave Matthews European tour" - I would rather trust the management than any ticketing company ...

But, now that Tim Reynolds will probably come along, what about Béla Fleck?! :) I mean: since he somehow doesn't want to come to Central Europe with the Flecktones (only UK, Ireland and Hungary), this would be THE alternative: the Dave Matthews trio!!! :lol What about accompanying some of the songs, Béla? ... Because you are one hell of a virtuoso!!!

Best regards,
Julian from Luxembourg.

[Bo56]

That's too good to be true! The DMB management says it will be a "Dave Matthews European tour" - I would rather trust the management than any ticketing company ...

I knew i will be a DM (or D&T ?) show. But as they made an error like this, i was just joking (what is difficult with my poor english).

[nico_france]

Well I know the people that are in charge of the tour (in france in fact) and it's not really a surprise they made a mistake...They are more business men thant musicians and do not really know about dave matthews, believe me...

In fact DM or D&T or DMB, I don't care...It's so good anyway !!

The Irish TicketMaster site made the same mistake,Saying it was for DMB not DM.But MCD-the promoters here in Ireland -sent out a news email & have it down as "An Acoustic eveining with Dave Matthews".

Maybe D&T,but i think its just DM shows.

The word "solo" has now been removed from dmband.com and the warehouse website! Will it be Dave & Tim, or Dave and Friends? Let, the wild speculation begin! Or continue i should say. :)

[bopanic]

it wont be d&f, i would say d&t since they have already played some shows together this year. just my thoughts, im sure trey has got his own thing going on.

[cora liz fowler]

some of these venues are quite small oxford theatre and manchester apollo are really great venues as youre pretty close wherever you are, some of them will be atomospheric inside being in such a small venue but when are we going to get some full band shows.

[AFly01]

it wont be d&f, i would say d&t since they have already played some shows together this year. just my thoughts, im sure trey has got his own thing going on.

i agree with you that it won't be dave and friends...i assume that if dave is to go over to europe he wants to play the more extensive original catalogue, not a concert mixed with a bunch of covers.

however if he wanted to do a dave and friends tour it'd be pretty simple...dave and friends bassist tony hall and keyboardist ray pazkowski are in trey's current band

saw them last weekend in cornell. awesome show:thumbsup

i agree with you that it won't be dave and friends...i assume that if dave is to go over to europe he wants to play the more extensive original catalogue, not a concert mixed with a bunch of covers.

however if he wanted to do a dave and friends tour it'd be pretty simple...dave and friends bassist tony hall and keyboardist ray pazkowski are in trey's current band

saw them last weekend in cornell. awesome show:thumbsup

yeah i know all that about tony and ray. but it wont happen. i just saw them in vegas. great time. anyways it wont be that big of a show.

most of the venues websites are posting the show as an "acoustic" evening.

[chris1983]

What about the possibility of a new "friends" line-up? Dave did mention at the May shows repeatedly about "bringing a few of his friends over next time".

again this is dave's first time playing most of these places. the fans that go want to hear for the most part dmb songs. i'm sure he'll throw in a few some devil tunes, but for the most part he'll play the stuff fans who don't have exposure to live dmb would expect to hear ie billies, ants, 41, crash, satellite, everyday..etc

That's a good point, but I'd say over the course of the 4 main Dave solo shows this year in the UK, the songs that got the biggest reception by far (perhaps with the exception of Crash) were the Some Devil songs.

[nico_france]

Well, for me he can play whatever he wants I do not really care and I'm sure it will be definitively great !
But it's true that D&T would be really good compared to D solo...

Wait for news...

THATS GOOD NEWS! :thumbsup

[Lorentzen]

This is great news! Dave in Europe once again. He spoils us, haha

I went to the London gig this May, and have never had a better concert experience than that. Even though some drunken and drugged up Americans shouted a fought down on the front rows :mad

I'm going with a couple of friends to the Dublin and Belfast shows - this is just awesome. I really hope that Timmy will come join Dave, and keep him company throughout Europe :bounce

[cora liz fowler]

I tried calling to ask about Dave tickets this morning as yet tickets are not on sale other than the Irish date, phone number for ticketmaster for theatre shows is 08701451163 you can put "New Theatre Oxford" in as a search and it will give you details

Tickets are not out yet for dublin,are they??

[BKeener]

The Manchester venue website doesnt even acknowledge that Dave is coming and tickets go on sale Friday - anyone know what to to do?

[tresch]

similar thing here in germany
they finally have stuff on ticketmaster
the problem for these venues is, dave's management doesn't book them directly, they go through local event managers. most venues know about it but i dont know if they have the rights to promote it and how all of that goes

[Isilinde]

I'm pretty worried about getting tickets to the Glasgow show!

They go on sale this weekend, and I haven't been able to find them listed anywhere. Any tips?

[bopanic]

i love this thread, a lot of ants from a lot of different places! talking about a europe tour. cant beat that!

im hitting brussels and amsterdam, assuming i can get tix this weekend!

[DMBScotland]

Requested tickets for Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Oxford, Amsterdam and Brussells. As of yet, I have a spare ticket for all venues apart from Glasgow so if anyone is struggling to source, let me know. Also need to find the best way to get between Brussells and Amsterdam aned back.

Thanks

[BKeener]

I just called Manchester Apollo and they dont know anything about Dave coming... ? They said if I call Friday at 9 though they'll probably be selling tickets.

This makes no sense... but that's what they said!

[whntjon]

I sent you a PM.

The livenation.co.uk email just went out. It calls daves tour

"A very special Acoustic Evening with Dave Matthews. This solo UK Tour will feature songs from the new album Stand Up."

So i guessing its definatly just him..... unless they still gonna add tim!! if they are they better anounce it soon

and also lets hope theres not too many songs off stand up

[mattward2k]

So i guessing its definatly just him..... unless they still gonna add tim!! if they are they better anounce it soon
Not that it's anywhere near a guarantee that Tim will play with Dave, and the chances are still against it, but I wouldn't believe anything LiveNation have to say. They just churn stuff out that they think sounds good, irrespective of whether it's anything close to what's happening. Clear Channel, through and through.

Anyway, that sounds exactly like the tag line that accompanied the Feb/May shows, they've probably just been told to sell tickets for these dates at these venues and have stuck that along with it again. Especially the Stand Up part.

[meggieprice]

It just became a possibility for us (Zachy, me, and my husband) to go to the three England shows and the two Ireland shows. HELP! How do we get tickets on Friday? I went to Ticketmaster UK and see only the Ireland shows. Can we use US credit cards? It says they go on sale at 9am- so that is 1am here in CA? Crazy! Never even dreamed this could be but we have family there and as mu beloved aunt is ill I want her to meet Zach and my husband...

[mattward2k]

I went to Ticketmaster UK and see only the Ireland shows.
From what the WH have told me and by the looks of things LiveNation.co.uk is the place to go, Dave's finally up on there although there's no dates listed under the section.

You *should* be OK with a US credit card, although you're address may be a problem, even if they hold tickets at the venue they might still want a UK address. Best thing is to phone their number and ask beforehand.

[meggieprice]

Well, I will be visiting my aunt and my niece...they live in England.

DO you mean phone the venue or Livenation?

[meggieprice]

By the way I am so excited as I was last in England 33 years ago- lived in London for two years. To show my husband and son my old haunts ( hope I recognize them!), see Dave in the other cities, and visiti Ireland for the first time- well I am over the moon!

my tickets status has gone from processing to confirmed wooooooo!!!!

but when do i find out what seats ive got???

[Alasken]

YES! I'm confirmed for A'dam :D :D :D

[Lorentzen]

Yay. I'm confirmed for my requests at Dublin and Belfast.

BTW how come no one talks about attending those two shows? Ireland should very very beautiful

[geoffc]

Does anyone know what kind of demand can be expected for all the UK shows? I'd like to put together a trip around the UK dates but only Warehouse members with European addresses can purchase tickets, so I don't know if I'd be able to get tickets. It would be a pricey trip, one that I'd be willing to do, but I need to make sure I can get some tickets! Any insight guys??

[Panoramical]

I just hope I don't get that sinking feeling when I know that an American (who has probably seen dave many times, and has the opportunity to many more times) has got my tickets for a European gig. Nothing against you guys at all, I just feel a bit down when you get to see your seventh concert instead of me seeing my first. Again, nothing against you. But I wish Dave would do more gigs here.

[Dancing nancy!!]

^ yeah that pisses me off i dont understand y we cant have a bit of dave for ourselves, the americans have had him for years! im confirmed for oxford btw yay!!!

[spida1998]

Tickets for Manchester are there on Seetickets now to buy - before 9am!

[firedancer41dmb]

^ yeah that pisses me off i dont understand y we cant have a bit of dave for ourselves, the americans have had him for years! im confirmed for oxford btw yay!!!
just come on over here and see the boys!

[Dancing nancy!!]

[firedancer41dmb]

^ its far too expensive im afraid im only 16 lol!!
i would totally come over there if i had the money, so, i guess i hear ya there. but look at it this way, if im not there, thats one more ticket for you. im so mad at zach though, 5 europe shows... and hes been bragging all week. that booger.

[AFly01]

I've been to 20 dmb/d+f shows and just so happened to be studying in oxford in the spring....got 2 tickets row n on the floor!

or stalls as they call them in the uk...going to be awesome.

[DMBfan41]

I scored two tickets to the Oxford show!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did accidently chose delivery to my house though, I meant to do Will Call. So, now I just have to hope the tickets are sent to my house before January 25th when I leave for England.

But, bottom line, I got tix to see Dave in England. I hope that all of the English fans get tix for the show as well. But you know what? I'm staying in the country for 3 1/2 months, I may as well see Dave while i'm there!

i really hate zach right now, he just told me his seat locations for all 5 shows. ugh...

[mattdmbuk]

The ticketmaster site (not livenation) says that the Manchester show will be Dave and Friends and that the Oxford show will be Dave Matthews Band. I'm guessing this must be a mistake as why would the whole band come over just to play one show of the tour ? You never know though !!

[AMWEST]

Just bought my ticket for Oxford, row F, looking forward to March 2nd. I saw Dave last year at Hammersmith, a great show.

[meggieprice]

It was a true comedy of errors here at Cat Heaven Cassie! First the shows were two on Ticketmaster and three on LiveNation- then it changed and we were fumbling around yelling instructions to each other so we didnt all three buy tix to the same shows.

I am so thrilled I get to see my beloved Aunt and Uncle , with whome I lived during the painful year my parents split up and left me in London with them- I also get to see my niece's new baby who was born in September (her mom was in labor during Shoreline N2 :lol)-have not seen her and her little family since they moved to ENgland last year- Zach and mu husband have never met that part of my family and it means so much to me. My husband has never been to Europe.

AND I GET TO SEE DAVE SOLO FIVE TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :monkey :monkey :monkey :monkey :monkey
Don't hate us....

BTW it was odd how every show had different choices- some allowed will call, some only mailing, and opne allowed a ticketfast!

[Dancing nancy!!]

im going to oxford yay!!!!! my 3rd dave acoustic gig!!

It's been hell trying to get tickets through ticketmaster or livenation and we were refreshing the page 15 mins before the sale was meant to start ... at 1 minute past 9am there were only circle seats available at oxford - don't know what the newcastle situation is but i'm disgusted to see a USA seller on Ebay UK selling 2 newcastle Row G tickets for £399.00!!!!!!!!! I'm seething!!! When he came to UK in May we got crap seats from Warehouse and could have done better on ticketmaster so we held out for TM this time ... can't win.

I know how you feel, did exactly the same thing this time with Manchester, was on the phone just before 9 (to make up for the 5 minutes of waiting you have to do before you actually get to an advisor) and by the time I got through they were onto Row H at the edges.

Oxford is now sold out, which is ridiculous. They need to be taking the Summer 2008 tour off and playing more dates (but still less than a summer tour) cuz this random cities for one date with no London is ridiculous, gives scalpers and Americans too much of an opportunity, which is what they're desperately trying to avoid.

[guitarmanuk]

Managed to score 2 tickets in the Circle. On sale at 9.00am sold out by By 11.00am! Really looking forward to it. I had tickets to Hamersmith but couldn't go in the end and had to sell :lorraine no way I am doing that this time.

Hey guys...I'm trying to order tickets to the Berlin show..but I can't find where they are selling at? I've looked at ticketmaster UK..seetickets..etc. Are they not on sell until later today, and where can I go to get them? Thanks for the help!

Hmmm, presumably as the WH decided to enact the whole non-US address thing for the entire tour this time round they decide to try and offset US fans buying tickets by allocating as many seats to the WH as possible. They really should have made this clearer with the request information. Not much point doing everything you can to get the tickets out to Europeans if you go and rush the request period?

Yep my thoughts exactly - also I'm a little disappointed to see that on Antsmarching's home page theres a link to "UK Tour Dates on Ebay" - ok it only takes you to a page selling T-shirts and not the tickets page, but just seeing that phrase on a fan site does not seem right to me. I do understand that the ad is helping to fund the site but .....

[zand]

i agree with a lot of what various people are saying on here. im from northern ireland, i tried to join the wharehouse as soon as these dates were annouced, dave in BELFAST i never thought it would happen - dream come true, but the wharehouse kept saying it was overloaded, so i qued from 8:30 this morning down at the waterfront to get tickets from the box office, chatting to a couple of really nice local lads down there all excited to get to see him for the first time. i got tickets in section B, not to bad but the other lads got stuck up in the terraces, then you come online and everyone who seems to have tickets up close are from the states. i have nothing against that, i was lucky enough to be right by the stage at manchester in may, but it would just be nice to know that few people from ireland who have been waiting for years for him to FINALLY come to ireland get to be up close. hopefully there are, and maybe i wrong. its gunna be an amazing evening and i hope everyone who comes to belfast from where ever has a totally amazing time, its a fun city. peace

[mattward2k]

I hear you, and it sucks, but unfortunately that's just the way it's gone down. They really should have managed the WH request period better; had it open for longer, not had it so close to announcing the dates in the first place and allocated the majority of the venue to the WH which would have given all the European fans a chance.

In fact, they should have let the WH manage the ticket sales for all the shows; you didn't have to be a member, but could only order tickets if you had a non-US address. Don't know why he didn't also just add on a few US dates to this tour, and people who really wanted to go wouldn't have had to travel.

Although, I, for a start, would rather buy tickets for the Brussels show since it's 10 € (approx. $13) CHEAPER!!! :thumbsup

Why on earth did you buy them, and thereby making it harder for the European fans to get tickets?

[meggieprice]

Why on earth did you buy them, and thereby making it harder for the European fans to get tickets?

I am sure they are sellling them face value so what is the difference? ANyone who posts here sells for face value. I expect there will be tickets on the ticket exchange for some of those who were not lucky today.

We went online here at 1am our time and managed to get tickets for the two Ireland the three England shows. However- I don't get that being American gave me any advantage or makes me wrong for doing it. I usually have bad luck with Ticketmaster too... this time we were for the most part lucky.

When the shows are announced here don't European fans have the same opportunity to come here? Isn't it just as hard and expensive for us to go to England for these shows as it would be for them to come here?

My own case is finding out my Aunt who lives in London has leukemia. She has never met my son and my husband and she was a mother to me for two difficult years over 30 years ago. We immediately canceled our long planned once a year Hawaii vacation and knew we whould visit England sooner rather than later, trying to detrmine when. Then Dave shows announced and of course we want to go then. Acoustic Dave is my very favorite.

I hate feeling I have somehow done something wrong or bad by buying tickets on Ticketmaster at the same time as anyone else could do so.

[Isilinde]

Why on earth did you buy them, and thereby making it harder for the European fans to get tickets?

I bought them because I'm going to the show. Then, later today, I tried again on a different site and found some seats more suited to a short person. Being 23rd row on the floor is great unless you're 5'3"... :)

I happened to come across some seats that were in the front circle, row G. So, I jumped on that and decided to sell these three to deserving fans here on Ants.

We immediately canceled our long planned once a year Hawaii vacation and knew we whould visit England sooner rather than later, trying to detrmine when. Then Dave shows announced and of course we want to go then. Acoustic Dave is my very favorite.

I hate feeling I have somehow done something wrong or bad by buying tickets on Ticketmaster at the same time as anyone else could do so.

Partly the highlighted stuff you wrote is true - although with slight "modifications" ;)

One of my friends tried to buy tickets for Randalls Island, but couldn't because he was not a US or Canadian - so he had to buy tickets from ebay - more expensive and way poorer seats/standing areas because he couldn´t just buy them when they were available for sale - we sat in front of our computer when they got available for sale, but with no success.
Another time, the tickets he was "able" to buy ("able" because he was not American or Canadian) for Gorge 2005, were once again poorer seats/standing areas because it wasn't possible to buy tickets right away - dammit!

And the fact that it is just as easy or just as expensive for you Americans to travel over seas is true, but come on... you have far more opportunities for seeing Dave, DMB or D&T troughout the year - every year, so you don'have to travel abroad to see him, and thereby you save a lot of money. Everybody not living in USA/Canada have to spend a huge pile of money to go see a Dave/DMB/D&T show because they almost never come to Europe/Australia etc. - so finally Dave travels to Europe and many Americans try to buy tickets along with the Europeans, and that means that a large part of the tickets sold are to Americans

[meggieprice]

I guess we have to blame Dave a bit too :lol Having seen Dave and Friends and Dave and Tim it is Acoustic Dave I crave- and not so easy to come by. He is that way- someone you will structure a trip to Europe around.

I do sympathise with the scarcity of European opportunities to see them, please believe me- but the Warehouse tix for this tour were for you guys only this time-you have the advantage- and from what I have heard they got lots of the closest seats- I hope you get them! I took my chances staying up late at night for Ticketmaster and lucked out this time.

Someone in the thread on DMBc about this actually made reference to hitting Americans in the head if they are sitting in front of him. This shocked me as one of the things I love about DMB is the great people who tend to love them. If you know me you know that I would be happy to request tickets for others- and have done so, for any show I do not go to myself. And I would so welcome anyone from another country with open arms to visit us here in NO CA.

The tricks God plays- turns out I may be sitting next to that exact person in Newcastle. Wouldn't you know? Hope he would rather smoke a peace pipe with me than hit me in the head, I fell six weeks ago and was seriously hurt and a punch in the head is a bit more than I could bear.:lol

[Lorentzen]

Yes, I read his stupid comment. What a jerk. I'm sure he won't do anything like that - I guess his feelings just ran away with him because he does not (as many europeans have to accept) have the opportunity to see Dave as often as you guys. He's probably a nice guy who loves DMB as much as anybody in here, that's why he ended up saying what he said


Ever since I became a DMB fan I noticed how much the fans loved DMB/DM/D&T and I noticed the awesome atmosphere surrounding the whole DMB universe :)

It actually made me want to learn more about the band and the fans and now I'm a huge fan, and have my own DMB website with a good friend of mine: http://www.dreamingtree.dk with a forum for both Danish/Scandinavian fans and a little international part also :cool

- I am positive towards the fans of the band, but I just felt disappointed when I read that some one had bought some tickets, just to sell them again - I mean that made it even harder for some poor european fan to get his hands on a ticket...

But basically I would love to meet americans in Europe and welcome you all to our part of the world - it seems slightly different over here:)

Always nice to see a fellow scandinavian on the boards :)

[Alasken]

hey im here too, so we have norway, sweden & denmark :D

[Lorentzen]

You are all welcome to join the small Scandinavian DMB site, which I link to in my signature.

To topic: Damn we are lucky ants - it's not often Dave visits Europe two times within a years time

[mconsler]

Got my tix for Amsterdam last night. I can't wait.

[anisiv12]

So for EuroTour vets? What kind of crowd should I expect in Amsterdam? Will there be a lot of Americans?

[Lorentzen]

I bet it's the show with most americans - I will also bet (for different reasons) that the crowd will either ruin the show or make the show amazing.

[esther]

So for EuroTour vets? What kind of crowd should I expect in Amsterdam? Will there be a lot of Americans?

yes. this country is magically attractive to americans, for *some* reason.

[chris1983]

At the three shows that sold out quickly, ie Dublin, Oxford and Amsterdam, you can expect a very high percentage of Americans.

[mattward2k]

I do apologise (have done so in the other thread too, wrote a reply!), but my comments were completely tongue-in-cheek - hard to get the British humour to come across on American message boards, and I would be in too good a mood by the time I was at a Dave show to punch anyone :p

Having been to see DMB in the US in 2004 I have nothing but good things to say about the opportunity to go somewhere else to see something you love, and I received nothing but a great reception when I was over there from everybody (especially the cab drivers, who were suspiciously excited about dropping me off at the Tweeter Center both nights :p)

There's a big difference however between Europeans going to America to see shows and Americans coming over here. For starters, although it seems like you're just buying tickets for shows and that it can't make much of a difference if you went on Ticketmaster like anybody else, it does make a big difference. These shows are tiny in comparison, which is perhaps part of the attraction, but there's so many more US fans, and once a small proportion of those starts buying tickets that's it - the show is sold out. If Dave's profile in Europe were to be raised over the next few months and there were a few hundred or even a few thousand more fans who wanted to go see Dave it would be impossible, because all the tickets are gone. He's then coming over to play to an audience of people who are already fans. You might say this is kind of the point, but Dave has himself expressed many times in shows themselves that he's really using these shows to reach out and entertain people who don't get to see him, and to try and build up his fanbase overseas, it really is impossible to do this to a crowd of US fans, however good they're intentions for coming to the shows are. Unfortunately it's really just a testament to the universal greatness of Dave that we're in a situation like this :p

[Lorentzen]

I just really really hope that there will be no fans of any nationality behaving like asses. :) Dammit, it pisses me off when there is no respect for the performer or the fellow crowd

[meggieprice]

Amen to that! If collectively we all allign our intention perhaps we can nullify the nogoodniks. The disrespect! For Dave, for the other fans. That is my major beef.

Yep, and I can only apologize myself for taking that experience for myself while depriving somoene local. It is Dave, Dave acoustic or Dave and Tim, that sings to my soul. And in planning our trip , well, there just is no way I could not go. Dave - "I'm like a junkie for you".

And I do hope we sit together. It sounds like we would be in full celebration. :)

[DMBfan41]

you know what? whoever goes to the shows will have the time of their life, American or European.

So, if you have tickets, go and enjoy yourself, don't worry about who is there with you.

and if you don't have tickets, go find tickets. You'll find tix on the many DMB boards i think

[zachyd]

Response to bolded text (once again) : I didn't buy them "just to sell them again." But I found tickets which suited my height better after I bought the first set. The tickets I am currently trying to sell are really very good, I am selling them for face value... and I would very much like to sell them to a European fan. :)

[Byggare_Bob]

hey im here too, so we have norway, sweden & denmark :D

Awesome!

[Alasken]

in amsterdam ill stay at the flying pig......ive been recommended both the downtown one and the uptown one, so im not sure which one to choose....the uptown one is right by the venue though,..

[eirikra]

Awesome!

Another norwegian going to amsterdam here :)

I've heard some good stuff about the flying pig from some friends that stayed there last summer, I might go there as well.

[BKeener]

Any other Americans going to Amsterdam hit me up. Where is everyone staying?

Mike

I recommend the Bulldog Hotel.

I do believe it's www.bulldoghotel.nl

Excellent location... very retro as well.

[ModestMouse2003]

Awesome!

the WH sucks, I cannot honestly tell if I can make a trip to Europe in FIVE MONTHS advance. soooo, i think i might wanna go/be able to since it falls on my spring break.

any chances of scoring tickets now?? The ones are ebay are ridiculous.

ideas?

[mattward2k]

the WH sucks, I cannot honestly tell if I can make a trip to Europe in FIVE MONTHS advance.
I think that was kind of the point ;)

EDIT: Besides, unless you had a non-US address on your WH account, you wouldn't have been able to request tickets anyway.

It's nothing more than talk. It's like with everything- until it's officially announced, don't worry about it.

[TriggerHappy]

I know this isn't exactly the place for this, but I'm going to post in more appropriate places too.

I am looking for two tickets to the show in Milan. I've been to the ticketone website and it says "waiting for new availability" which I'm assuming means "sold out." They're both for Americans, but I live in Turkey and the friend I will be going with lives in Rome.

Any help would be appreciated.

[mattward2k]

You talking about tix through Ticketmaster?
Yeah, and LiveNation or any other variants. If it's a WH ticket they'll be held at the venue on will call.

[Dancing nancy!!]

any news on tim???!!!

[mattward2k]

any news on tim???!!!
For the last time in this thread: nothing will be definite until it's confirmed officially. Everything else is just speculation and talk.

[meggieprice]

And for me - I bought our tickets based on what was announced- of course Tim would be great but I wont be sad if it is as announced.

Our Newcastle Tickets arrived today! What a treat after being sick abed for three days and missing our Thanksgiving.

Wow the packaging is posh compared to our Ticketmaster packaging- and the tickets are gynormous!

Question for you Englanders- do you have Halloween there? I am confused because when I lived there years and years ago I don't remember that being celebrated but I just got some pix e-mailed to me of my grandneice who lives in London in what looks like a Halloween costume, and pix of their carved pumpkins glowing. All I remember is Guy Fawkes day, not Halloween.

Can't really help except to tell you about my experience trying to get Milan tickets. When I went online the first day the tickets were supposed to be on sale, it said "waiting for new availablility." I figured this meant they sold out really quickly -- however, when I checked back yesterday, tickets were available and I was able to purchase them. I hope you found that window of availability, but if not, keep checking back... the website is kind of screwy and there didn't seem to be any reason why they became available when they did.

Halloween is celebrated, although it's nothing more than a chance for shops to put up a different type of decoration (as is the case with all other holidays). Bonfire Night is celebrated on the 5th November...

[mconsler]

Any other NewYorker's going to Amsterdam? PM me...

Mike

[European Ant]

tim is apperantly free during those dates, but it isn't confirmed whether he will come along (and also if Dave wants it or not)

by the way, tickets for Brussels now sold out as well. has taken a *bit* longer, but not that much ..., less than 10 days

Yeah, they still do the whole "Trick or Treat" thing, it's just a few that you see going round rather than kids from all over the neighbourhood.

[DMBfan41]

Wow....so, I thought Ticketmaster UK sucked cause they never got back to my e-mail.

But i got the tix for Oxford yesterday!!!

10 days after I order the tix they arrive, and I'm in the U.S.!

Ticketmaster US doesn't even go that fast!

[meggieprice]

Isn't the packaging elegant? I was impressed (not to mention excited!)

[emsketch]

I made the mistake of going online today just to see how much it would cost me to get to one of the England shows. WAY cheaper than I ever would have guessed. Plus my friend has family in Manchester and she wants to go to. Cheap air fare and a free place to stay?!?!?! Please someone talk me out of this! I know that I do not need to be spending the money but I feel like I cannot pass it up.

Haha, ok... Talking you out of this, has now started:
You. Don't. HAVE. To. Go.
You. Could. Buy. Something. Cool. Instead.
Plus: You. Have. Probably. Seen. DM/DMB/D&T. Many. Times. Before

I hope I was clear on this?

[explode41]

THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i will be attending the March 8 show in GERMANY!!!!!!! my first dave solo show and it will be awesome............... YES!

[meggieprice]

Congrats!

You know, I just want to say to all of you in Europe that I do feel your pain about the lack of shows you get. DMB is such a passionate thing for all of us and it must seem so unfair with these Vegas shows just announced.

[explode41]

yeah but i will happen to be there during Spring Break!!!!!!
