That's awesome but, no Old Trafford as well?

I decided to get tickets to...

Event: Genesis

Venue: Old Trafford

Manchester, Lancashire, UK

Event Date: Sat 7 Jul 2007, 19:00

Order Date: 24/11/06

...as well.

I also might hit them up a couple other places in Europe as well like in Germany and/or Italy, though that's up in the air.

TimmyB,

Congrats!! That'll be a trip seeing them in the UK.

You are coming out to TMB at Massey right? It's the night after Gov't Mule and the night before Victor Wooten :) :) :)

Later . ..

Kanada Kev =8)

np: Beatles - LOVE

We will see if I can make it to the Musical Box next week, it all depends on if I finish a couple of assignments for my class?

Just when I was begining to think that you were on the straight and narrow.............

Come on you know me better than that? You and I this year went to Vermont to see Trey, Mike and the Duo play with Phil Lesh and Friends with less than 5 hours notice by the seat of our pants.

Off the top of my head I have no idea how many gigs I have been to this year, it would take me a day to figure that out.

Since London sold out in a day and Manchester is nearly sold out also, Genesis seem to be at over 500,000 tickets sold for their European Tour so far...

Genesis Turns Germany On

Updated 05:07 PST Sun, Nov 26 2006

Peter Rieger Konzertagentur sold 40,000 Genesis tickets for Düsseldorf LTU-Arena so fast that the company had a second show on sale within a matter of days.

Although the fab three surviving members don't start their reunion tour for more than another six months, PRK's Stefan Güntner reported that 200,000 of the tickets for the eight arena dates went within a day.

The June 26 Düsseldorf show was soon up to 40,000 - expected to be a 45,000-capacity configuration - and the second show went on sale November 15, five days after the Genesis box offices had opened.

Even before it had gone on sale, the overall ticket count had rocketed to 300,000, with every chance of hitting one-third of a million by the November 16-17 weekend.

The German run starts at Hamburg AOL Arena June 15 and, intertwined with dates in the neighbouring mainland European countries, continues with Hannover AWD-Arena, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart's Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion, Berlin's Olympiastadion, Leipzig's Zentralstadion, Frankfurt's Commerzbank Arena and Munich' Olympiastadion June 23 through July 10.

The ticket frenzy over what will be the first Genesis tour of any sort in 15 years has spread across the continent, with Flemming Schmidt of Live Nation's DKB Concertpromotion seeing the 50,000 available for the June 14 show in Herning, Denmark, disappear in 40 minutes.

For Reigers's office, the Genesis sales come on the back of success with shows from George Michael and Pink, part of European tours produced by the U.K.'s Marshall Arts.

Michael did 120,000 tickets across 10 sold-out arenas, while Pink's 12 arena dates shifted 110,000.

I'm just saying that it has been a few months since you called me up from a concert to make arrangements to drive 9 hours the next morning to another concert, all on a whim. I thought maybe you were cured.

If what I have is a disease, I would rather live with it rather than be cured.

Thank you very much.

Well one thing you can do is if you see me on here over the next few days, tell me to go until I finish my assignments.
