OK, so a few minutes after I mentioned that the Leonard Cohen show might be off, a new story was circulated, shedding light on what’s been going on behind the scenes. And today, you’ll be pleased to know if you’re official members of the Leonard Cohen forum, you can actually buy tickets before they’re put on sale in Israel on Saturday night.
That’s right, from 10am this morning until 8pm tonight, and then the same again tomorrow, you can get your Leonard Cohen tickets – but only if you’re a registered member of the forum! Otherwise you’ll just have to wait like everybody else for Saturday night…
And the damage expected to be inflicted on ye olde wallet? Cheapest tickets are expected to cost 450 shekels, while the more expensive seats on the grass will go for 1000-1200 shekels.
And all proceeds from the concert won’t be going to pay off my mortgage, they’ll actually be going to a foundation that benefits Israeli and Palestinian organizations working for reconciliation. So, good job Leonard!
Any guesses on the average age of the concert-goers for this one? My money’s on 52 years old…
