You expect to be surrounded by strangers at a gig. You don't expect to sit at a table with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you have to react quickly if you want to be at the front. And getting 6 places on a table at the front will be difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 If 1 person can buy 6 tickets and a table seats six, why don't you sort yourselves out into groups before the sale starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you might not get any tables at the front. It's more difficult to get 6 seats at the front than 1 or 2 seats, in my opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wanted 4 tickets in the same row next to each other and the best available was in the M row. I bought only one ticket and had the row C. Here it might be as well some VIP or sponsors for pre pre sale. So we will see next week the real plan of available places. Some tables will be already partially sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 22 hours ago, Prisca said: If you look the video on this page, the people on the front are almost on stage: https://www.baloisesession.ch/de/programm/club-vip-packages You can see in that video that a) there are more people at the stage than would be in the front just from the tables, so I assume people are allowed to move to the front and don't have to stay at their table. So if you want space, the front tables might not be the best choice. So, not us, we don't want space, we want to be close. But random guests who book the top category might be annoyed by that. Secondly, and that affects us too, you can see a few tall security guards standing in front of the stage. If you end up right in front of one of those, frontrow might not be so awesome. What worries me more than getting a ticket for Mika's show is that all the tickets go on sale the same time - so Take That fans might crash the website and block it for hours. For Mika it might be a small venue, but for Take That it's tiny. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold out arenas all over Europe on their recent tour. Well ok, to be fair, the ones in Switzerland weren't sold out... And, checking the dates, I suppose many of their followers will be in Malta for their weekend event which also starts on the 17th. So we might be lucky. 1 hour ago, Prisca said: The same was said about Robbie Williams. Was in Isle of Wight last year. We wondered where all the Robbie Williams were.

I guess you're right, they've improved much in the last few years. But I'm thinking of Paleo festival or Carcassonne, it might not be a "crash" of the site but that was still chaotic. I hope the site itself will work fine and we can access the Mika gig without being in a waiting line with all the other gigs for this series. Is anyone going to this box office sale in Basel next week (dunno how close you all live)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no crash with Paléo, the demand was simply huge. It is the biggest Swiss festival with 100,000 visitors (OK, my figures don't seem to have been quite up to date: 250,000! visitiors) in 6 days. After all, Ticketmaster didn't crash in France when Mika sold thousands of tickets for his Zeniths in a very short time. And it wasn't just Mika who sold his tickets. 10 hours ago, mellody said: Is anyone going to this box office sale in Basel next week (dunno how close you all live)? I'm not planning to go there.

Anna Ko Kolkowska Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Actually I know only one or two of Natalie's songs. Looks like she had a long break. I found this video with her 1 hour concert in Melbourne last November. I need to listen to it not to be a complet ignorant in Basel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
