As you may have already heard David will be touring the UK in March 2008. We will be holding a presale for these shows on Wednesday, December 5. See the chart below for the presale times.

WONDERFUL NEWS>>>> I HOPE I CAN MAKE AT LEAST ONE OF THE SHOWS OVER THERE IN THE UK. OF COURSE I'm  STILL HOPING HE WILL MAKE IT TO SEATTLE .

CHEERS, AND THANKS FOR THE UPDATE KENDALL 

Great news! Thanks Kendall!

I better be up mega early on Wednesday then!

How much are the tickets ?

PS. Can I also say.  Who thought of the idea to stagger the pre-sale times, genius idea!  It really makes sense!

Dear Kendall

Thanks for the information concerning 2008 tour, the new album must be coming out in march then????????

What is the best way to get good seats for a David Gray concert?  I have booked through the pre-sale several times, always at the time booking opens and have never had very good seats.  As I am not given seat numbers until the tickets arrive, it is impossible to judge whether to buy them or not.  I get the feeling that the venues hold back the best seats for their own clients.  Is this true?

Looking forward to the concerts, though.

David Gray to Sail Away on tour

Tuesday, December 4, 2007

 

Good news for fans of David Gray - the English singer-songwriter has announced that he will be back touring the UK next year.

The tour, which kicks off on March 3 at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh, will include 14 live dates and concludes at London's Hammersmith Apollo on March 20.

The popular singer - who has toured in the past with Radio Head and Jeff Buckley - will give fans the opportunity to hear tracks from across his recording career, a period covering seven albums and 11 million album sales.

But fans of the star may be most excited to hear him perform live versions of This Year's Love, one of the most memorable tracks taken from his acclaimed album White Ladder.

The spring dates follow the release of the singer's Greatest Hits and a sold-out UK tour which featured three nights at London's Roundhouse.

Apparently we can expect his new album to be with us next Autumn.

It depends on what the artists requests themselves although the ticket agencies are very greedy and do generally hold back the seats. I went to see OMD several times this year and swopped my tickets for front row on the day of the show!

Hi Lakeside,

The seats offered through the presale are shown on the specific ticket pages.

We assign seats on a first come, first serve basis so your seats will appear in order within the section we are selling. Although seating assignments are not issued at the time of purchase, we will email you with the seats prior to them being mailed out.

I hope this answers your question.
