Looking for a 10C ticket for Athens

edited September 2006 in Given To Fly (live)
Ok so 8 shows this tour just hasn't been enough!!

I have now been persuaded not only by some of the touring bus people but also by the amazing performances from the band to get my ass to Greece for the Athens show this weekend.

The problem is that to justify a flight to Greece I need a 10C ticket for the show - does anyone have or know of one so I can book my credit card in for a beating for a flight to Athens?

    Thanks for your postive thoughts Pegasus - I am being hopeful.

    I'm just not sure that the demand for this show is like and I know that a couple of people who were at the Berlin show looking for 10C tickets couldn't score them - if it was somewhere closer and cheaper I would just book it but as it is not what you would call a cheap fare and I am not made of moula I am trying to be practical (which is extremely difficult when you are dead keen about seeing the boys for the last time in Europe!).

    I have already been in contact with the ETB but haven't had any luck yet - hopefully somebody with 10C tickets will find themselves with a spare over the next couple of days!

    I scored a 10c in Bologna at the last minute. So did someone I know in Berlin.
    I think that becasue of the distance, some poeple will end up not being able to make it.
    At the worse, i got only GA in Berlin and Pistoia and still ended up 2nd row...you'll be fine...just come.

    Pegasus - you are such a bad influence you are good!! (Does that make sense?)

    I assume you are going to Athens then?

    of couurse...though that one was planned from the start (sorry, no spare..though I'm checking a friend).
    Zagreb wasn't planned..got the flight a weeek ago and a ticket yesterday only! you see...it pays to be crazy ;)

    Excellent - good to see that there are other people on the tour path who veer towards being completely nuts like me!

    I have to say Pegasus that I love your faith - buy a flight to Croatia with no ticket - that is very hard core!! Inspiring even!! I'll have to check out some more flights at home tonight!

    I think he's really not going...think he even transfered his ticket to Carlos...not that I haven't tried to convince him otherwise!! been trying to persuade Rob as well...I don't want the tour to finish as much because of missing all those people as for missing the music :(

    Sorry for hijacking the thread, but if anybody has a spare 10C ticket for the Athens gig (after melbourneflower has got hers, of course!), it would be much appreciated.
  • melbourneflowermelbourneflower Posts: 263
    Bump for me!

    C'mon there must be some nice person with a spare 10C ticket who can take pity on a fellow desperate 10C member!!

    Mission: Get Stian to go. Tell him i'll buy his ticket. "My treat" :D

    Also, tell Rob to go aswell. Tell him I am currently trying to persuade Victoria to go aswell.

    If all goes to plan, we should have ourselves a nice little reunion!!!

    Cheapest I found were about £300 return (ie NOT cheap) - hence my reluctence to go unless I can score a 10C ticket!

    Hi all, Unfortunately I am unable to make the Athens show on 30th and I have 2 x 10C tickets that I would like to get face value for.

    Any takers?

    You know it's funny you say that because I was thinking if there is a cheap flight to somewhere near, we could find alternative transportation means.

    Plus I get paid on Friday :D

    Good morning all,

    i have a pair of tickets for Athens which I am unable to make due to committments and expensive flights and hotels - gutted.

    Just looking for face value

    thanks
  • given to flygiven to fly Posts: 654
    hmm, that's definitely a possibility.

    however, yesterday i made a grand total of £15 at work. it's not looking good.

    Winger - I am all for taking your tickets - I have just PM'd you so we can arrange a transfer through the 10C.
