    Hi All!

    First of all, thank you to everyone who’s come to see our shows. We’re in the homestretch of this year‘s tour and it’s been a real pleasure. Fantastic cities and fantastic audiences. We’ve had a great time playing for you.

    One thing we feel obliged to explain:
    When we go on tour, the whole point of it for the band is that we are playing to a different audience every night.

    That’s why we go on tour!

    So if we’re in Edinburgh (like we are tonight), we look forward to seeing local faces.
    This is what makes it new for us every night.

    We appreciate those of you who follow us and buy tickets for multiple nights, so please don’t be offended if we request you to move out of the front row.

    All we are asking is that you give the local fans a chance. This is what keeps it new for us…especially after being on tour for so many months.

    See you later !

    Imagine waiting all night and Ed asks you to move back. I'd be ticked off!
    would be better to rope off part of the rail for band to designate.. but yes I would not be happy.... Do the random line thing if you want new faces.. But Ed does honor those that put in the effort...

    Maybe they can’t tell who is local, but by the sounds of the note they can certainly tell who are the regulars up front. So know they know they can’t be pissed if they were asked to move back.

    It’s a fairly bold request. If the locals show up late, take a hike and make room

     Nothing wrong with wanting to mix up the crowd up front.  But just go to the random number system.  Shouldn’t be put on the fans to work it out.

    "Sir, we noticed that you've been up front on another show this tour. We'd like you to move back and let this local fan take your spot."

    "Uh, that wasn't me. It was someone who looked like me. I have a twin."

    "No, it was definitely you."

    "No it wasn't."

    Seems like kind of a half baked plan. If you want to do that, have assigned seats and sell the first row at the box office only.

    Cities with multiple shows could have ga one night and seats the other night in order to mix it up.  Rail riders are happy and people with low fan club numbers are happy.

    I remember being at the Albany show in 2006...a fantastic show in my humble opinion. Ed at some point was jokingly talking to the rail people, something about "the same fucking people every night" lol. I did hear that later on that tour they did a switch up with the from row people? Anyone can confirm?

    And a nice, low hassle venue, not too big. My favorite of 2006. I think they did do some switching up when the entire floor was seated. I do not remember when though.
