I'd be going to Edinburgh anyway. Hopefully they're a lot cheaper...
i very much doubt they'll be a lot cheaper anywhere

I imagine you're right. Maybe if I stand close enough to the castle though I'll be able to hear him.

I once said to my husband
"If Lenny tours, we are fucking going. I don't care how much they are or how far we have to travel, we are fucking going"
And having paid £160 for an opera ticket, £75 aint that bad.

He's playing in Lorrach in south Germany on a Friday- think I'll look in to that one. I just can't bear the thought of paying so much to see someome I love as much as him and it being 'a bit shit' cos of ridiculous London venues. Harrrummmph!
(But likewise, it appears I can't just miss it).
I know south Germany can be gorgeous... I know people who live there + July, outside - I think he's playing outside - would be amazing!
Tickets on sale on Monday - really hope it's not fifty quid plus!

When we lived in Germany concert tickets were about half the price of the UK.
The first gig I went to was in 1978 to see Santana at the Messegelande in Hannover, it cost DM20.00, less than a fiver at that time.

Got my tickets for London. Can't wait. 
no i wouldn't have gone to the O2, got tickets for the manchester opera house one so it's only 2000 people instead of 20000
there were meant to be £50 tickets for the manchester gig, but they were all instantly gone, the whole lot were gone in half an hour

I wanted to go to Manc, but they didn't release the tickets until ten am and I had to be in a lecture...
O2 will do, and like it was said, it may well be his last tour...

My view also, I would have traveled anywhere in Europe for this gig.
I'd have gone ANYWHERE...

I love Leonard Cohen by the idea of watching him play at the Dome is just so wrong!

The reason that the tickets are so expensive is that his agent stole his pension fund. This tour is specifically to fund his retirement.
He has given me immense pleasure for four decades, I happily paid the ticket price.

They went on sale in Edinburgh at 9am, I got through at about 9:15, there weren't many tickets left then.

I have no quibble with the ticket price, just the venue. Where is he playing in Edinburgh?

Talking of Mr Cohen, I recently discovered this absolutely fantastic cover of 'Hallelujah'. Sorry if it's old news:

Gonna buy a ticket from a tout, john?
Might find it hard getting a normal price ticket now.

A tout? Don't start me on ticket touts!
No! I work in the business and have very cordial relations with concert promoters across the border in Scotchland.
I keep thinking I saw Leonard Cohen when I was younger but what I am remembering is going to see the film Bird on a Wire in the cinema!

I'm sure I'll be free that day to accompany you
I got a ticket! Something like £48 & it's an outdoor gig in July! Plus I get to stay on a boat after the gig cos it's kind of far away from houses.
Sorry, but 75 quid x 20,000 people
that's a fucking ridiculous retirement sum! And that's just the takings from the 02!
Shame on you Leonard! *bangs on screen*
*rattles keyboard*
But I'm happy
