Basel Tattoo 2009 (Tickets available)

Tickets went on sale today 05/12/08 for the Basel Tattoo in July 09. Tickets sold out quickly last year. The official website looks to be down but they are available from Ticketcorner. http://www.ticketcorner.com/eventsto...revParams=true

Re: Basel Tattoo 2009 (Tickets available)

Just when I thought we had tickets, it looks like the order didn`t go through. Oh no they are now sold out on the night we wanted.

After much searching tickets are still available on the ticketcorner website if you search for Tattoo Euro. So they must of allocated tickets in groups, ie the Euro tickets are still available, but the Swiss tickets are mostly sold out. Yes I now have tickets on the day we wanted.

Oh dear, I did tell my mum to order as soon as they went online but it seems she failed to do so. Hope we still get seats...

Re: Basel Tattoo 2009 (Tickets available)

Thanks a lot for the Info Telandy - especially the bit about Euro tickets.
We managed to get two quite good seats.
I must say though that had I been addicted to the Internet when I started looking, I would now be cured after spending three-quarters of an hour trying to get through the tangle of information to find them!
If anyone wants to go, there is still room if you look under Euro. But I suggest you do your searching on a 'real' pc, not a laptop. The risk that you hurl the laptop out of the window in frustration is very real.

First the site is down. When it functions, you 'book' two quite good seats, only to find that they are nowhere near each other. Try again. Apart from these, except for the very cheapest seats which give a wonderful view of the back of the show, all seats are sold out on the day you wanted. You try all the other performances in turn - there are seats still free, but only single ones.
If you a member of the EF, you then recall reading that bit about Euro tickets still being available. So you look for that bit of the site. You mark two seats, the computer 'refreshes' and forgets where you were. Try again. You find two seats, put all your info and credit card details in, put them into the shopping basket and set off to look for a 'parking card'. When you get back you find that your shopping basket has been turned upside down - your seats have gone. You put the parking card in the shopping basket, cross your fingers sneak back and re-order the seat tickets...
If I had been doing it alone, I would have thought it was my fault, but Mr L was helping and things usually function Ok for him.

I agree - it was an exercise in patience... finding tickets, especially next to each other was really a challenge, and I didn't know about the Euro tickets!!

But I was happy to receive my 3 tickets last week - with seats next to one another.

Re: Basel Tattoo 2009 (Tickets available)

obviously the word 'tattoo' must have more than one meaning to which i was not informed... as i was uber-excited to get tickets until i saw the promotional video

a tattoo convention, it aint
