EC/SN Europe Tour 2023 thoughts...

I (only) got to three shows: Berlin, Geneva, Lucerne. Of those, Geneva and Lucerne were stronger than Berlin, but Berlin was wonderful as well.

Has a consensus emerged as to which shows were the highlights?

--there was no merch table.

EC/SN tics for sale -- Amsterdam (9/26), Brussels (9/27)

Hi, all... My plans have changed and I can no longer make the Amsterdam and Brussels shows. I have one tic available for each: Amsterdam: Third row, left of center. (55 Euros) Brussels: Tenth row, two seats left of center. (78 Euros) Thought I should offer them to a fellow EC Wiki-er before StubHubb...

MORE confusion around tics for these European shows? So, there's a presale tomorrow morning for Berlin? Is there a code/password?

Anyone know if there's a way to buy a tic to this without getting soaked for the 49 Euro subscription fee? There didn't appear to be during the presale.

Re: Elvis & Steve, Paris (France), September 24, 2023

Why TF can't they give us a couple days' heads-up on these on-sale dates?! I check here and the EC Facebook page EVERY DAY, and this is the first I'm hearing about the Paris show...and all the good seats are already gone. WTF???

Can't they announce these shows BEFORE the tics go on sale???

Re: Elvis & Steve, Granada ( Spain), September 2, 2023

Hi, all... Does anyone know if these Spain shows are standalone, or if they're just the first shows announced for a wider European tour? I can't imagine EC's schlepping over here just for three shows, but it would be immeasurably helpful to have confirmation one way or another. I'm living in Europe,...

Re: ELVIS solo GRAMERCY NYC February 9, 2023

Thanks very, very much, BA, for the clips. I'm in Europe and will be missing this Gramercy run, which is breaking my heart.

It's also infuriating that he's not live-streaming these shows. For shame.

Have a blast, everyone!

Re: 10 NIGHTS AT THE GRAMERCY NYC FEB 2023

Couldn't the shows on the 4th and the 18th happen on one of his off nights? I can't imagine he's going to do ten nights straight.
