Roger Waters 2008 Concert Dates

[alma]

It was actually the cheapest concert I've been to in a long time

Ooops, whose concerts do you usually attend? Or other question: how much did he chrage? The ticket for the April 07 concert in Cologne was actually the most expensive one I've ever bought. It was 160 dollars (at current exchange rate), which I think is a lot of money. But he was worth it. Usually I go to the small clubs and venues here in town -we've got a lot of them- and see those bands who don't charge that much money. And these concerts are often brilliant.

When I saw him in Budapest this April the ticket I bought was 70 Euro, and that was about an average price.

I think both shows I went to at the Hollywood Bowl ended up at around $55 even after all the Ticketmaster fees...not bad for seeing all of Dark Side Of The Moon performed by Roger Waters The Pet Shop Boys show was over $80...I'm talking major artists' ticket prices though instead of indie bands of course...and I've heard it wasn't as cheap in other countries....

According to Dave Kilminster in the Fleeting Glimpse web chat on Wednesday, there WILL be more than two shows in 2008-he just wasn't allowed to say when or where.I think we could have guessed this.What was a little disappointing was that he answered my question about whether they were planning to do Welcome To The Machine at these shows in the negative.I think its highly unlikely we're gonna get anything different than the well-drilled '06 and '07 shows.Dave said that the rehearsals prior to the very first leg were only a week long-I suspect they may all have even less time this year-thus I think its unlikely we'll get Kaos or something as the first set.Someone mentined a rumoured UK date this year-any further news or conjecture about this? I'm hoping for another outdoor show 'cos I can't justify seeing the exact same show indoors again this year and although I was at Hyde park at least that was a while ago.Assuming Hyde park and Glastonbury(or any other festivals-except perhaps Cropredy) are out what does this leave us with? Old Trafford CCC for Move or something? Victoria Park? Horseguard's Parade? Any unfounded rumours welcome!

Roger please come back to Nebraska

[cymbaline212]

so Roger Waters is playing Coachella this year isn't he? anyone going?

[sjoerd]

I voted no, which is not entirely true. I would love to see Roger Waters live, just not his current show.

[bluewaters]

Yes, I will be seeing Roger on May 4th at the Cynthia Woods Mitchelle Pavilion in Houston/Woodlands, TX!!

[Yucateco]

I voted no, which is not entirely true. I would love to see Roger Waters live, just not his current show.

Why not?

[momentaryhawking]

I would not go outside of Arizona to see him, but he is coming awfully close to here. This is exciting.

[alma]

Do you refuse to leave Arizona in general or is it just that you don't want make a long journey only to see Roger Waters?

[momentaryhawking]

Alma my friend was visiting and I showed him the dates Roger is doing in Ca. and Texas and he said the way it looks Roger is not going to come to Phoenix by the way he is scheduling. I am optimistc.
My friend says lets go and I am open to the idea of course. I think Phoenix has one coming because we were skipped last time. I am optimistic.

[momentaryhawking]

OK Alma you my have nostrils flaring at the idea of going to Indio now. I'll reconsider. Please have a piece of German chocolate for me.

[momentaryhawking]

Ok so now I remember going to the Coachella Valley Arts and Music festival web page and looking this over about a week ago. 3-day passes are still available for 269 U.S. dollars. Single day passes are 90 U.S. dollars but are sold out. There are people buying and selling single day passes on the forum at the coachella site. I like the fact that they are warding off scalping.
