Current tour plans: Copenhagen 2x and Hamburg. All within one week. Also just a 5-hour train ride from CPH to Hamburg.

Hotels in Dublin and Gothenburg were prohibitely expensive, I had to abandon those ideas.

Dublin has become such a rip off city now when theres a major concert on, its ridiculous. The hoteliers are obviously tipped off in advance and double their prices (if you're lucky). Managed to get a half decent price on one hotel 3 days ago before they had got as clued in as the others.

This morning I got GA tickets for the 1st and 3rd nights. Just about. Still have a year to find a pair for night 2 (7th May). They could easily have added a 4th show although its probably too close to the Paris gig to be practical (although theres still room before the first night).

So, if anyone has a couple of extras for Sunday

Hope to get to a couple of UK dates too. I think there'll be another Euro leg in 2024 similar to what we got in 2008-2009 and 2012-13. He's already said he'll play Australia early 2024 so I'd be surprised if the tour ends there

Got front pit tickets to both Copenhagen shows. Decided to go there instead of Gothenburg. Cheaper hotels and flights. Maybe add one more show. Munich could be a cool place to visit.

Ticketmaster in Norway is one of the worst to get tickets, 2 friends of mine and me were ready at 10 sharp and still got in the queue as between 6300 and 8000. Managed to get FF at concert no 2 after error messages in all browsers (same errors for my friends) but Firefox worked for us all. Took 45 minutes, never had problems like this in other countries, pit tickets for Stones in Stockholm took 1 minute. Don't know how many FF tickest they sell, but mine were numbered at 5900+.

Don’t suppose anyone has a seating plan for Paris? Tried google and French ticket sites - have found pricing but not a pic

Gazza - keep an eye on Toutless for tickets. Spares will appear between now and next year. Yes, hotel prices are scandalous. The hospitality industry got lots of help from Government during the pandemic. Eaten bread is soon forgotten.

Many thanks. Will do. Never heard of that site but have just registered and bookmarked it. Cheers

Has anyone seen the list of dates for the USA arena shows in the winter of 2023? I can't find it anywhere but was told that Tampa is the first show on 2/1. No hint of that anywhere though, including not on Backstreets that I could find anyway.

US dates haven't been officially announced yet.

I know, but rumored dates are out there. Someone in the know told me Tampa 2/1 is the first show but I can't get any more info.

And it's someone who is 99% likely to be correct. I won't say 100% b/c things change but otherwise take that to the bank.

Rumored Tampa date has been mentioned at Backstreets:

There's even a Tampa "setlist watch" thread:

Thanks Bye Bye!

Any other rumoured North American dates? I don't want to bother creating an account to log in.

Third show in Gothenburg added, June 28.

They went through those Gothenburg tickets like butter.

Surprised that the first Oslo show seems to have basically sold out in the presale already. I got in at 10:04 for Oslo #1 and nothing left, not even Platinums.

Let me understand, Voldsløkka in Oslo is a park right?
Then why Viagogo states as 5000 venue capacity?

Probably forgot one 0. It’s 50 000.

Why are you using Viagogo for a show over a year away is my question.

There will be ticket drops, no need to use Viagogo and especially not this early in the game.

I didn’t used viagogo. Took my pit ticket from Ticketbastards.
You’re right about viagogo

In the hunt for Copenhagen and Hamburg tickets - wish me luck!

Just got a FOS1 ticket for Vienna. It was really easy, I thnk the FOS is still available. It is still more than a year, but it is great to have something to be looking forward to.

Got pits for both Copenhagen shows. Shut out for Hamburg, but luckily there's a presale tomorrow and the general sale on Friday.

Stop the press, got 2 Hamburg pits just now for myself and a friend!

Yes. Got one too, after being in queue behind 8000+ people, getting offered FOS2 several times, being kicked off when I wanted to pay for FOS1 to Ticketmaster not being accessibel for the longest time with a header overflow message. Then about 1 and half hours later, while it still was not accessible, I thought I try it on my mobile and there was a queue of 150 and I got a FOS1 on my first try. Always some drama getting tickets.

Wow. You get the impression they are surprised that people actually want to buy tickets and they really do it for the first time. They never learn.

I am ready for Bruce . I look forward to seeing him again and it would be fitting !

The Copenhagen sale was also postponed until tomorrow morning. This happened about 2 hours and 15 minutes into the sale.
