How MUCH did you pay for delivery?

Yes, I know there is only one word for it: robbery. Ticketmaster Spain wants 40 euros for International delivery! You can also pick it up at their ticket office in Santa Cruz but it has to be three days in advance so that was not an option for me.

Realy hoping to get to this one, looking at maybe taking a five night break
culminating in the concert

frankly shocked at ticket price and 40 euro delivery charge!
maybe we should organise a group booking so we only have to pay the one delivery fee, If its split between 10 or more it wouldnt be soo bad!
Any thoughts as to duration of concert? I see TD are billed to perform at 9pm, what are chances of 3+ hours gig or will it only be a couple of hours.


hoping to confirm arrangements in a week or two

I totally agree about the 40 euro charge - I can't see many of us 'regulars' going to this one for just this reason. If you can get the interest in a group booking you can add me to the list.

bugger!!!
just seen a max of 6 tickets per purchase!
still 6.66 euros better than 20

might go on the monday, get a few days in the sun, plenty of pre concert drinking and pick up tickets in santa cruz (even if it is the wrong end of the island!)

I've decided to not bother with this one. For these reasons:

Pros:

• It's TD, nuff said.
  All new music

Cons:

• Ticket prices
  Delivery prices
  Flight prices (£160+)
  Accomodation
  It's only going to be a 1.5 hour gig.
  The missus is away that weekend too, so she can't come and I'll have to find somewhere for Ellis to go.

Sadly, I can't justify what will ultimately be a £600 expenditure for a short gig. With redundancy looming ever closer too.

I'll wait to see what happens closer to home.

Sorry to hear that you are not going

Found this on the Starmus blog..

""Sonic Universe", will be the first ever concert to blend music and real acoustic sounds from the stars. Astronomy and space travel will be the sole themes of the entire concert, which will include spectacular electronic special effects. Several Tangerine Dream favourites will also be performed.

STARMUS will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear this music, which is not part of Tangerine Dream's normal tour repertoire. This "must" for all cosmic music fans will also include a glittering line-up of special guests from the world of music (names to be given shortly).

Seats are limited, so book now!

Wonderful... but I couldn't afford the expenses (travel, hotel, etc.).
So I REALLY HOPE that it will be recorded for a future DVD !

I don't think I'll be the only one in this situation. Baring a lottery win of 5 ore more numbers I'll sit this one out.

I was under the impression that it was going to be 1.5 hours. I'm sure I read this somewhere, but I can't remember where.

Hmmm does seem a lot of expense for an hour and half!!
still considering making a short holiday and topping out with the gig.

guess if the band were to announce another "regular" gig in UK or mainland Europe anytime soon would make descision a lot easier!

Help us out here EB please.
