Re: Andrea Bocelli at Leeds Arena
Looking forward to it already.
He's gotten much more popular since we first saw him years ago...and the prices have moved upwards accordingly.
Thought about staying overnight in Leeds - but the cost of the hotel parking will pay for a "Day Rover" for us to bus/train it there and back - and a taxi from Huddersfield station at midnight!

Re: Andrea Bocelli at Leeds Arena
Would have loved to have seen him, especially as we live in Leeds - but he is here on the evening that we get back from our holiday & I don't think even I will have the energy to drop my suitcases in the hall & set off straight to the Arena. Ah well, maybe another time!

He's our favourite singer of all time and we'd love to see him in Leeds, but we don't get back from our cruise 'til the next day. Do you think he would postpone for us or should we cancel the cruise? 
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

Had you been drinking before you posted Paul, think you got the wrong thread

Keechy. Perhaps he'll come round to your house and do you a private concert too?Keechy wrote:He's our favourite singer of all time and we'd love to see him in Leeds, but we don't get back from our cruise 'til the next day. Do you think he would postpone for us or should we cancel the cruise?
Cheapest seats £45 + booking fee. I'm also expecting to see some semi-naked dancers for that kind of price
...but from way up "in the Gods" I'll prbably need my binoculars!

Re: Andrea Bocelli at Leeds Arena
He was indeed fantastic.
Less good though was the £15 they wanted for a programme.
However, this being Yorkshire, I think the 13,000 audience bought just the one - and passed it around.

Re: Andrea Bocelli at Leeds Arena
Pleased to hear you had a good time both.
Did Romig get to see his semi-naked dancers or did the £15 price tag on the programme put him off?

Only £15 - I have seen them on sale at some concerts at £25 (and no I have not paid that much for one - although I did pay £20 for Cher's farewell tour which will now have to be renamed the pre farewell tour)Romig1 wrote:Less good though was the £15 they wanted for a programme.![]()

I love his duet with Bryn Terfel, the aria from 'The Pearl Fishers'.

Hiya Wina/Romig
Just seen your OP...Didn’t bother reading the rest.
Well who’s a plonker then ?...Yes you’ve guessed it ....I’ve just spent the last ten minutes looking for some tickets for the "2014" September concert... What a Plonker!!!!
I can’t tell you how envious I am but so pleased you both had a great time....did he sing “Because we Believe”? I just love that song.
Kind regards
Keith
