Hello everyone, hope all is well. Sorry I haven't been active lately, been really busy with work and getting settled into my new place. I see that more of you will be attending the concert in Ely next year. Right now I’m caught between 2 stools. The Ely concert or go to a music festival in Las Vegas (week after the Ely concert). Most likely I’ll be attending both.

"Soon" is the word used to sedate innocent children who do not suspect how shabbily much time that soon can take. :wink:
Remember: For London 2016, Libera announced the ticket sale to start "early in September", and it turned out as 17th September! :o :shock:

This can be very relative.

The 360 degrees videos from the 2016 St.Georges concert were also announced to be coming soon, which has not come till now yet. :lol:

Well, I've just been having a look at the cost or the train and B&B... Unless I find a job soon I won't be able to attend this venue... It's to expensive for just one concert. :(

I am sorry to hear that and I hope that things work out for you. Travel is expensive; even with a full-time job affording travel may not be possible. I understand how frustrating and depressing it is being unemployed in the first place -- and then not being able to engage in an uplifting activity to help pull you out of that funk just makes it worse and compounds the problem? If that is how you feel then I sympathize greatly and hope very much that you find a job and are able to attend.

My advice is buy a ticket and then if you ultimately cannot go then you can sell the ticket or, at worst, give it away. That way the loss of money is minimal but allows for the possibility that your situation may change between now and the concert! You have the album Hope right? Well, now you need to have hope in the real sense.

Please keep us informed.

Oh, that is a pretty nice advice ! :D I might do so. I am sure that if I do find a job before march it will still be possible ! Yes, I need to keep hoping (but not hopping). Thank god, Libera does help a lot when it comes to this !

Soon sometimes really means soon. :shock: :mrgreen: Libera has announced the Ely ticket sale to start on Wednesday, 17th January, at 10:00.

Last year people had a problem with non UK addresses. I think the way around it is to create an account with a UK address (at least a UK postcode) and when the account is made go in and edit it to your real address.
If I’ve got owt to say I says it, and if I’ve got owt to ask I asks it.

Yes, that's right. Padmachou, just try this postcode, then it should work: EC1A 1AA

I only multiply the information. :lol: Mawi helped with exactly this code example last year at Libera-welt.de, so I know it works for quickest help.

Row E (actually the third row), happy with that. Could have got a front row seat but just don't trust the Ely Cathedral Website...
