Mark Knopfler

Please clarify the wording here for the on sale dates and time. Is that Monday September 14th and 15th starting at 9:00 am (is that US Eastern time for Boston and Mashantucket CT?). It is not really worded well here. Thanks! I am soooo excited!!!

Marcia

I see Massey Hall on April 29th on the initial news bulletin but this venue does not appear on other tour announcements.

Worried.

Hey Mark Knopfler Senor - PLEASE add New Mexico in between Phoenix &
Denver . . . it's on the way and I personally guarantee you an enthusiastic crowd . . .Caught your show at the Ryman last tour -    BRAVO!!!! One of the best of my 51 years . . . Smokestack Jack
                                            Albuquerque, N.M.

The news says "confirmed dates...are those for North America" as listed.  Does this mean there will be no additional dates in North America other than those listed today?

I missed the KTGC tour so I'm very happy that you're coming back around.  I'm a little concerned though that the dates here on your web site don't match the dates on your facebook page.  Which one is correct?

Really excited you're coming to Eugene AND Portland Oregon!  I may have to see both shows.  I think you and the band will like the Hult Center - pretty cool venue for a lame little town like Eugene; not a fancy as the Schnitzer though.  The bike path along the Willamette is nice if you get some spare time.

Montreal is listed in the newsletter for April 30 but is not listed on the tour list.  Please let us know if it is a confirmed date.  Thanks.

Lyn

Great to hear your coming back to the US. Also glad you hitting St Louis, Chicago and Kansas City. We midwesterners appreciate your great sound and talent. You just can't beat those guitar licks !!!!!!!!

Caught your show at the Ryman in Nashville last year. It was a great show with a good mix of new and old stuff.

I don't see Mark's tour date for DC on the forum page but it's on face book. What's the deal?

On the e-mail announcement list Buffalo NY is on there for April 28, 2010.  I don not see on this site.  What is the deal.  Any idea on prices for shows to?  

Can't wait to see you in L.A. again. Every show is such a treat. Yay!!!

nice.....l@@kin' foward to the denver show...buel theater is a cool venue...old, downtown theater....should be GREAT.......as all shows seem to be..      ;-)      richard / colorado  ps...what are the quality of seats bought on the pre pirchase makr web site?...r they worth the effort?  

hello marcia,

Am I over the moon that you are coming through Milwaukee again?  Yes I am.

I'm confused?
Yes indeed.

nevermind

Mark:Please come back to Argentina some day! We miss you so much and we miss your lovely music.. I hope see you again one of these days!!!
Alfred.

Everytime my fiance and I went for a drive, he would say "Oh my, look at what happens to be in my pocket.  Do you think we could listen to Mark?"  Since his recent passing, listening to Marks music touches the very depths of my soul.  Thank you for blessing us with your sound in Seattle.

Where's the Philly date?

No dates near Florida or Georgia ??  I saw you twice last tour in Florda, why not coming back ?

9:05 est and nothing. you guys awake?

I wish you could see what seats you're getting. It doesn't tell you, other than that it is on the main floor within a range of rows. But you could be getting something way off to the sides and not know it.

What happened to the Philadelphia date at the Tower Theater?! It was there yesterday and not there before 9AM today for the presale.

9:17, still nothing available in DC. And to second aquarela, this is 2009. How come you can't see the seats?????

Well, I was on at 9:00 and din't get anything. oh, well. And this is really confusing:

"The following items are currently reserved by other customers, please try again in a few minutes - Mark Knopfler - Warner Theater - Washington, DC - May 2, 2010"

Does that mean there are more or does that mean you're *** out of luck. A few minutes????

I am a long time fan, going all the way back to the first DS album.  I would LOVE to see Mark in Ann Arbor, MI, and would love to get great seats, which I've never had for one of his shows.  But there is just no way I can afford $145 US a ticket.  It's just completely out of my price range.  Enjoy the show, everybody else.

I didn't get any tickets, though I was ready and waiting. The only quantity it ever ended up showing me was 1 and that wouldn't be very nice to my wife, now would it? I'm used to this and I'm not pissed. Springsteen tickets went the say way. Had four on the page and then the screen locked up and sent me to a re-seller site, conveniently owned by the original ticket seller.

I appreciate the effort to do a pre-sale but it was still a  bit confusing. You should have probably changed the home page to "buy tickets now" for each venue, instead of "pre-sale starts at 9:00, 'cause it's now 9:52. :)

And I have to agree with lhudson anyway. I was going to buy if I had the chance but my mind, not my heart, was screaming $145 a ticket?!?!? Our business is kind of sucky this year and so I probably should stay away from a small venue concert that runs $300 for two seats.

You're still my local hero, Mark!

I keep getting this, too.

"The following items are currently reserved by other customers, please try again in a few minutes

The following items are currently out of stock - Mark Knopfler - Temple Buell Theatre - Denver, CO - April 20, 2010

I spent 1 hour seeking anywere from 1 to 4 tickets and never had a bite.  Is there nothing to be done for the little guy and block out the programs that get all the tickets for the brokers??

Its true you cannot see the seats you are buying.Ive been down this road before and got crap seats,so this time im waiting till they go on sale to the general public,for me its Santa Rosa California.If its bad seats left ,I guess I just have to buy off ebay or craigslist ,double the price,but at least you know where you are seated.

For Denver, I'm assuming at this point the regular sale will be better.  At least I'll be able to see which seats I'll be getting.  Too bad b/c I used the presale for KTGC and got great seats.

^^^  I kept getting the "out of stock" response.  I started right at 10:59 and kept trying.  No luck getting anything for Denver.  

Like I said, I appreciate Mark trying to do the right thing here. But the reality is that I was on the site from 8:59 and tried continuously and never got a single hit, except one for one individual seat. (Was trying for D.C.)

Couple that with the outrageous--and I mean really outrageous--price for seats (including service charges, etc.) that you have no clue about and it was just another experience chalked up to, well, experience.

It's ironic that my favorite two performers, Bruce and Mark, both of whom embrace that everyman spirit, can't figure out ways to outfox the foxes. I'm thankful that I got to see Mark at Wolf Trap last summer and it was one of the most enjoyable concert memories I have.

I couldn't be more excited about the upcoming tour. My wife & I saw him in LA last year. One of best vacations ever. I also love the new song. I'll be there to get tickets Friday. Thanx.

I was very dissapointed after tyring for over 40 minutes this morning to try and buy tickets to the Vancouver concert through my memebership. Everytime I tried ordering it came back with "these items are reserved for other customers, please try again in a few minutes".  I did try consistently until it indicated that all the pre-sale tickets were sold out. Why do I have a membership it it's not going to work and I faithfully follow the website?  Onthemark in Vancouver.

One questions. I think I purchased tickets for the St. Louis show however I never received a confirmation email. Is that normal? How long does it take? A little nervous.

Haven't seen you since Boothbay Harbor in 2006.  Really looking forward to Boston this spring!!

I'm with happycamper; purchased tickets yesterday for St. Louis; got an order confirmation number at the end of the transaction, but no confirmation email.  Since these tickets have to be picked up at the venue on the day of the show, it would be great to have additional confidence that they will be there.  Excited about the show; haven't seen MK since '05 in Nashville.  

Tried to order tix for CT show since 9am. Everything went though until submit order and I got an "OOP's We are experiencing Technical difficulties (500) message. Tried different CC's but same thing. Very frustrating and disappointing!

come to Florida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm
Sorry to hear all the sad tales trying to order.  I logged in immediately and was able to get two ducats to the NYC show with no problems.

I missed getting even one for Oakland, did anyone have any luck?  If anyone has an extra, lemme know!

Guess I will try the KFOG/APE presales on Thurs....

Waah!

Yipeeee! I am going to both MGM Grand (CT) and Orpheum (Boston) shows!!! I also want to thank the markknopfler.com Helpdesk for being so helpful!!! I made a BIG mistake and they fixed it for me!! Something Ticketmaster / Livenation would NEVER do!! So I thank you very much and am looking soooooo forward to next year's concert!
Love ya Mark!!!

i got tickets for the los angeles show-- feel like i won the lottery(after paying $300 to win!!)small price to pay to see this man. have been listening to "get lucky"--as always, a great cd!!!
can't wait to see mark and the band!!!

Ooooh! And Thanks so much for throwing in the CD with the Tickets! I totally agree that some of the ticket prices are extreme, but at least you're getting a little something extra!

Will there be any other bands on the tour with you? (Not that you need one...your band is awesome!)

Glad you are coming back to Boston! We miss you!

These days miracles
Don't come falling from the sky
Raise your glasses to the doctor
To a stand up guy!!

My order for Boston was completed before the clock went to 9:01. Thanks for such fast service!

Marcia

I was one of the LUCKY ones! So glad you will be stopping in Phoenix.  Got my tickets today no problem with the order . thank you  I haven't missed a show since Golden Heart also seen DS in 80s   Mark i love your music for over 25 years hope you never stop    you are the MAN                                                                               DIRE STRAITS FOR LIFE    PHILIP

I, too, have been getting the maddening "Ooops!" screen after repeated attempts to buy just two tix for NYC, or NJ, or PA.   I have traveled to see Mark in Istanbul, Vienna, and DC, and this is so disappointing.  I will keep trying, but the 15th of September is almost over!

You guys really don't get it--Mr. Knopfler and his camp are scalping most of their own tickets. The good seats will appear in TicketMaster auctions/VIP packages, and also on TicketMaster's phony "Ticket Exchange" "where fans sell to other fans", which is a huge lie because it's just TicketMaster scalping seats that have been held back (with the blessing of the performers). That's why there are virtually no tickets available for the presales. This happens with most performers nowadays because they're all greedy, period. Wait until you see the complete crap seats that are available at the public sales! You don't think you're going to get good seats at face value, do you???

A show in SLC please. Abravenel Hall is free on 4/19 and I have a section of friends waiting to buy. The last two shows here were great so let's try it again!!!

Does anyone know when the public ticket sale is for the CT show?  The website says Saturday the 18th but Saturday is the 19th? I hope I can get tix since the pre-sale did not work for me!

Nick I was on it this morning and tickets were available. I got mine with no problem. You may want to try again

Will there be the traditional stop in Nashville at the4 Ryman?

I think you're wrong about that bfrechman. For the last two tours, I bought presale tickets here and got front row seats.

I think the whole ticketing system is corrupt, especially the presales, and the prices are ridiculous. Portland OR

Dear Mark,

Looking forward to seing you again (third time in a row) in Vancouver in April of 2010. Would like to make a suggestion (it comes from a 50 years old guy): - PLEASE, PLEASE play more of your solo stuff and less of the old Straits songs (which are as great as they were first time I heard them - don't get me wrong - those songs are like good wine - the older the better!). However, I am yet to hear live versions of some of my favourites from your last four albums.... We, the oldtimers, love your solo work!.... By the way, get Lucky sounds very good so far.... Bravo again!

What about Utah? Don't leave us out...

are there tickets for new york on sale here?  I received an email from ticketmaster this morning that tickets are onsale for the united palace theatre.  
I have received emails for england and ireland but nothing from this site about new york.
am I missing something? looking in the wrong place?
help

My husband and I saw Mark and his band last year in Charlotte at the Ovens Auditorium and he was Fantastic. I danced and shouted and loved him.  Some of the crowd were a bit boring but I focused on him and him alone.  Loved him and have always loved his music and we have every CD/DVD made available . Please come back to Tennessee
somewhere or Charlotte. Just get yourself close to me Mark and sing and play that guitar. lol

MARK PLEASE COME TO TENNESSEE or ANYWHERE CLOSE.  PLEASE ,PLEASE, PLEASE
I listen to yuor music everywhere I go. In my car at work , home and in my sleep!  I love it and want more of it ! You are terrific! I love you.

Yay!! I finally got tickets for MGM in CT!  9:01 am and still could not get BEST seats in house but not bad ones either. Just happy to be going and enjoying the BEST guitarist on the planet!!

I was a little upset that I missed the Toronto gig presale! I thought I was already signed up to get email alerts and newsletters but possibly not after all, and I went online to get tickets yesterday for Massey Hall, all the good seats were gone! Oh well, I'll still end up going as this cant be missed!

We were at ovens also,excellent show.Please come to Va./N.C.

I bought 2 tickets to United Palace show.How and when do you receive the cd I Believe it was promotional offer.
