@MJ again: Just tried to PM you, but you have "exceeded your stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until you clear some space". Would be great if you PM'd me so I can get back to you...dann auch auf Deutsch...

@MJ - No, not first row, "just" up-front. First and second row were already taken when I was booking. Probably blocked in someone's basket. I still keep reading the booking confirmation mail. Still can't believe it! ^what MJ said. The only time I saw the band live was in March 1992, in Frankfurt. I still have the tour shirt, but it must have shrunk. Can't be any other reason it doesn't fit that well any more...

Well, now that I joined HCC I want this trunk shirt! Does anybody know how I can get my hands on it? Will I be emailed for the size? I couldn't find a link to order it...

Thanks all! You will all get an in-depth review. MJ, I went for 7th row for Hamburg, 3rd row for Köln and Mannheim. You were quicker! I might just have a look at those Paris tickets come Monday. It's a 2,500 seat venue (an old cinema), which sounds very interesting...

Honestly, It's a lot of money, but I'm fine with 122 bucks max. I paid 99 EUR for the AC/DC Black Ice tour and was about a mile away from the stage. And a couple of years ago, the Eagles played Mannheim and charged 160 EUR per ticket in that category. Which I didn't pay. So basically, "overpriced" is relative.

^^what Susan said!

I paid 94 EUR, 88 EUR and 90 EUR for the three different venues. All up-front, center stage.

^or that furry?

Not that many. But it's hard to turn a farmer down...

"I SURVIVED 2012 EUROPEAN TOUR TICKET PRESALES MADNESS" That was fast, wasn't it? I thought presales wouldn't begin THAT soon! Here's my story: On tompetty.com, there was a statement that said, "Highway Companions Club members will have access to special presales to purchase tickets for most shows". Now, before I finally joined HCC I wanted to know if the presales arrangement would aply to the German concerts. So I wrote an email last Wednesday and got an answer that didn't help me in any way. Probably my answer wasn't precise enough, so I wrote a more detailed mail. No answer came, so I didn't join HCC. Then the big tour date announcement was made, presales for Mannheim was supposed to start in January 2012. So I didn't join HCC, the Twitter session was more present at the time. This morning, we had our annual works meeting, starting at 8 a.m. local time. I had my smartphone with me, but didn't keep my mailbox up-to-date. Then, at around 10:30 a.m. local time, it was the the union guy's turn to bore us into oblivion, so I checked my mails. And, holy crap, there the announcemant was that presales for the German concerts had started at 10 a.m.!!! I rushed out of the meeting (190 pairs of eyes on me), ran to my computer, joined HCC in a hurry, and -beads of sweat on my brow and too much adrenaline in my blood- ordered up-front-tickets for Hamburg, Cologne and Mannheim. My blood pressure is starting to go down now that it's 4 p.m. over here... What a morning... Did any other German farmers get tickets? P.S.: I DID!!!! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! :043: :041: :026: :b55: :109: :sun_smiley:

Gotta hit the sheets now. My alarm clock goes off in 5 hours... Good night, fellow farmers!

But hilarious ones: you said once "if you're not getting older, you're dead." Any other sayings you like to use? -i like wherever you go, there you are Whats your poison? -nothing, I can take anything Hey Tom! What made you start writing songs? #tompettyTCS -i couldn't play anybody else's Tom, what are you getting Dana for Christmas...I won't tell! -i wish i knew explain why you picked Market Square in Indiana? Did anything interesting happen to you while you were in the hoosier state -don't like to explain myself is it true that you've never seen Mike Campbell in shorts since the first time you met him? -yes and i hope i never do

Cool, Susan!! For me, the answer was brief, but it was an answer!

^Try getting Mannheim tix, you're more than welcome to stay with us, Marcia. It's right around the corner from where we live and it's close to Frankfurt, too (Int'l Airport!).

Cool picture! The hydrant looks gross, though... I've never seen a horse with ears as big as that!

^No problem at all, Amber! More babysitters around the house sounds perfect to me! Especially now that my son''s teething like a little maniac and hasn't had normal body temperature since last Saturday...

^ lol

^^ LOL!!! The only one who's weird and bald around here is myself! Wish there was a venue half way from all of us, so we could all meet at that one special concert...

Unlike "I'm so tired of being tired", I'm so excited to be excited!!! Now I think I'll have to join HCC eventually...

Okay, so far we've got June 07, 2012 - Dublin, Ireland, The O2 - confirmed June 22, 2012 - Isle of Wight, UK - confirmed June 30, 2012 - Mannheim, Germany, SAP Arena - not confirmed I'm excited!!!
