Perhaps he is changing his setlist for 2007 (I hope so; P&C is awesome).

He will be playing all the Pacific islands next at the rate he is going at.
His love of playing live is really in full swing.

Good for you FC! Should be a cracker.
Out in the open, on the grass (unless you are in the stands) , under the moon and stars. The weather is just right this time of year.
Last time Roger was in Dubai he had the best sound system heard in these parts. The light show was not too shaby either!

The regular priced tickets were for standing only, so I doubt there's any numbering for those. Did you get VIP tickets? Maybe they'll give you a seat number at the gate? I got regular tickets btw.

And yeah, I still can't believe it. Its gonna be the first time I see him! :D:D:D:D:D

Its the second time I'm seeing him in less than 6 months :D I got VIP tix though and I'm pissed coz I thought they'll be close to stage :x

So you in for pre-concert gathering? I'm traveling from Kuwait with a few fans from here. You live in Dubai?
