The entrance fees for the Paris concerts are rather high regarding my standards, but, hey! it's King Crimson...
I just wonder if I will attend the two (2) concerts.

Hi,
Hmmmm ... might be a good time to visit my sister in Paris ... I'm recomending she get tickets asap, as this will be just as enjoyable a show as the RTF show that we saw when she was here!

I'm just back to my native Spain and all these locations are rather far, and my budget won't probably allow it

I've got a ticket for the Hackney Empire show, and apparently further UK dates have been added. This will be my second pRoper KC gig - I saw them on the Power to Believe tour in Japan, and I also saw the King Crimson Projekct in London last year.

Aye!! Sell your children, your family gold, rob the bank, whatever!!
I'd say it was the best King Crimson show I ever saw, and I've seen them dating back to LTIA!! This was the stage setup in Chicago....

Can't wait to see KC at Brighton Dome, first time I've seen them! I would have loved to have seen them with Belew as the frontman but hey, the 7 piece lineup looks pretty intriguing. Been listening to them pretty much none stop again since the tour dates came out. See you there any other Brighton people!

Well, you haven't looked at the price of train tickets from the SNCF recently, have you? Just to give you an idea: I had to go from Paris to Marseille last week and I was lucky to find a ticket for around 50 euros. The ticket for coming back to Paris from Marseille costed me around 45 euros. But I saw that the other tickets were ranging from 90 to 116 euros... Would I have had a more strict calendar, this travel could have costed 230 euros... I don't want to make the calculation for a train trip from Spain to France...

Actually I'm thinking about flying to catch the Utrecht show, but I'm still not sure about that.

For the Utrecht shows you have to be quick, they are nearly sold old.

Hi ... sorry , first post and I'm hard selling but just wanted to try find a good home for my tickets (mods - please remove / move / delete if this is not appropriate)
I have 2 seated tickets for King Crimson's sold out show at Usher Hall, Edinburgh, Thu 17 Sep 2015, 19:30
Cannot attend due to work commits .... gutted :-( ...
Ticket Details :
Section : STALLS
Row : T
Seats : 12 - 13
Face value was £114.75 for the pair ... will sell for £100. This includes Registered Mail costs .. so if you're interested , let me know ... thanks.
Should add ... these are hard copy tickets - not E-Tickets.

by the way , I'm new to this forum but am a long time poster on the Neptune Pink Floyd forum (search the same user name) ... I mention this by way of legitimacy to ease fears of me being dodgy.
