The next VIP email for club members should go out around January 25th or 26th so please look for it.

I am fairly certain it will contain a pre sale link for a batch of Crowded House shows (UK TOUR).
At this stage honestly can't say if it is every show. We are not releasing dates/info till the 26th (pls dont ask). However Deb has them and is open for bribes (opps joking) she will however put them up on www.frenz.com/crowdedhouse/ around the 26th.

I will attempt to stay in the office on Australia day (26th) in case there are any minor hiccups (like I did last night for the Neil solo show).

A final reminder that we are removing inactive memberships.emails from the VIP list- so if you need to renew please email me (peter@frenz.com) as you might not get the info. VIP email is part of membership.

I know some of you prefer to wait for the public sale of tickets, the venues are smaller- roughly 1200-3000+ size. So I expect tickets will go fast.

Not too long till you have the information so please if possible don't flood my IN box. (:

There will be other VIP emails down the track for other countries....and thanks I know it's hard to be patient for such things.

Cheers

Peter, you are a doll. Seriously. What would we do without you? Thanks so much.

It's a two way street and Crowdies supporters are really easy to deal with, especially as far as being patient.

Keeping fingers crossed for the US dates!

As soon as we have more dates VIP emails will go out, or Deb will put them up via her wonderful Frenz Com site
Gryph

Aw man, I can't wait until I can finally use my life membership!

Thanks gryphon

If the UK is next Aus and NZ can't be far behind

I'm continuing to be patient.

I know we have the dates for the Australian run pretty much locked in, so I'd expect they couldn't be too far away.
Gryph

Thanks a million Gryph

Yeah, thanks, Gryph - this is what I was hoping for!

quote:

the venues are smaller- roughly 1200-3000+ size

- smallest venue on 2007 tour was Brighton Centre, with 3,000 capacity, so sounds like a theatre tour this time - fantastic!

That's fantastic news - you really are spoiling us UK fans

Will be checking my emails hourly next week!

Thanks for all the hard work and looking out for us fans....

This is mega news. I got a gig with my band in Southport on the 11th June, which in order to make it to the Isle of Wight the following afternoon would mean a drive through the night after my gig, so now there are some UK dates being announced this is no longer a problem, I just get to go to one of the other gigs.....there is a God!!!!! And to thank the boys I'll do a special version of Weather with You at my gig, if you don't mind me nicking it for the evening!! Thanks a million!

Wow, thanks Peter!

Any hints on the countries the guys will be heading to this year? In terms of England, Ireland, SCOTLAND(!!!!), Wales...?

Also, if you could give us the exact hour, minute, second that the e-mail will go out, that would be great.... just kidding !

Ahh! I can't wait!

No hints at this stage, you'll know in a few days time...I promise.
Gryph

I think the pre sale date for UK will be 27th...still working on this but a VIP email will go out the day before...
Gryph

Can't wait, thanks so much Peter.

Hopefully a Scottish date in there

Please include Portsmouth, Southampton and ....if you're looking for smaller venues then Medina theatre or Ventnor Winter Gardens on IW would be so good

Don' know if Peter or the Band has any say in this but let's hope we get the best tickets. Certainly not my experience of the last few pre sales I've had the (dis)pleasure of.

- last time round the pre sale was handled by Livenation (you had to register on their site) & we got Row C seats. I don't think it was a club-only pre sale; if it's the same company this time (any info. PG?), it'd be worth checking site registrations in advance.

For the pre-sale on the last tour, I got row N seats for the SECC, bought them immediately, then when I tried a few days later, I was getting row C seats!! Was a bit disappointed, but it was a great night nonetheless

So, Peter, could I just confirm that the e-mail will (probably) go out on the 26th (Tuesday) but the pre-sale wont become active until the 27th (Wednesday)? If I knew this, it would definately save me from obsessively clicking refresh on my Inbox on Tueday!
