Euro tour: slow sales? And, for readers with tickets, a request

I was mildly surprised to see the UK shows on Dylan’s spring 2007 tour still being advertised last weekend, in The Sunday Times.

Slow sales? I wonder. The five April shows (11 Glasgow, 12 Newcastle, 14 Sheffield, 15 London, and 17 Birmingham) went on sale on 8 December. With Dylan reaching unprecedented levels of popularity in the UK, I had assumed all five venues would sell out rapidly.

If you’re planning to attend any of the gigs on the European tour and would like to submit a very short review for Dylan Daily readers, please contact me (eurotour@dylandaily.com).

Thanks to all the readers who’ve already offered to supply a review of the show(s) they’re attending. I’m looking for a string of correspondents to supply brief details straight after each show, in a prearranged format. You don’t have to be a budding novelist to submit the brief details required – I’ll guide you so you’ll be able to compose and send all that’s required in less than 5 minutes.

Here’s a reminder of the itinerary for Dylan’s Euro 2007 spring tour:

March: 28 Stockholm; 30 Oslo.

April: 1 Gothenburg; 2 Copenhagen; 4 Hamburg; 5 Münster; 6 Brussels; 8 and 9 Amsterdam; 11 Glasgow; 12 Newcastle; 14 Sheffield; 15 London; 17 Birmingham; 19 Düsseldorf; 20 Stuttgart; 21 Frankfurt; 23 Paris; 25 Geneva; 26 Turin; 27 Milan; 29 Zürich; 30 Mannheim.

May: 2 Leipzig; 3 Berlin; 5 Herning.



Hoping to hear from you soon…
