Just recently moved from Sydney to London. Looks like I picked the right time...

Yay for the European tour, and a BIG yay for an Eddie solo experience!!!

I'm in the draw for London!

Very happy for everyone who can attend Eddie's solo concerts in Europe!! :D
As someone else stated, these shows are very special, and I honestly enjoy them as much as the PJ concerts! :thumbup: :clap:

I think its fair to presume that a solo show is going to cost less than a full scale band tour and I think its over priced. If his solo is costing more to put on than PJ he needs better people around him to organise his shows.


You do realise these shows hold significantly less people? the venues take a cut, the promoters do, theres a crew to bring, management, etc

I for one am glad to have the chance to see him in an intimate setting and not at an arena.....its pretty simple to me to understand you will have to pay for that.

I have to stick to what I believe and what EV once did and not pay over the odds for a ticket.

Such a pity when a guy does a 360 on his values.


You mean 180? 360 would be full circle, right back to where you started, right? ;)


Haha yes I think 180 is right!! I stand by it though. I guess we can all suffer from greed at times.[/quote]

To be honest until you know whats involved and the logistics of such a tour, this is an incredibly presumptious and ignorant statement.[/quote]

i agree with philthehip...
if theres so much involved in a tour (which i don't doubt, but) how is it possible then, that other musicians tour and want not even half the price.....i remember reading that bob dylan tickets were sold for about 40 last year and i mean, PJ worked so hard against ticketmaster and everything to get cheaper prices and now they want so much for an EV solo tour? no thanks.. i don't think i'd go even if i had the money :DDD

Oh yeah I totally understand all that, just for me its too high. I am certainly happy for all the people who will see his shows including some very good friends of mine. Enjoy your shows.

Thanks Phil, why am i so defensive ? god knows

but I believe Ed treats those around him extremely well, he makes sure his people are happy - and well looked after.....that I guess costs a lot. But thats why his people have been with him since day one.

Have to say the presale sounds a bit of a ballache.

Will the Manchester be a standing show or all seated? If it's standing i'd rather take my chances on the general sale for a standing ticket - seats at the apollo are balcony so unless they have the seats downstairs no real bonus to getting "good seats".

As for the price, well it's another stretch. I dont begrudge the band/EV making some money but after laying out £250 at Christmas £50 a ticket is steep.

Will it be a full band show (backing band I mean) or just Eddie and his yook?

If it seems im moaning, maybe I am, ill still enjoy it :)

$284 for a pair of tickets in Amsterdam?!?!?!?!?!?! Is this guy f'n kidding me?????????????????

I was all set to enter the drawing and then I fell over in my chair when the price came up. Holy crap eddie!!! I guess I have been out of the solo-show loop but WOW WOW WOW that is expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to put it in perspective, tickets to Alpine were only slightly higher for TWO DAYS OF SHOWS and A TON MORE BANDS. I understand the intimate setting blah blah - of course I want to go! But oh man! I'm sorry but I'm shocked right now.
My whole life... like a picture on a sunny day...
