Surprinzator si unic, specific romanesc: Anul acesta are numai...fiti foarte atenti!!...numai 3 zile

Nu stiu cum se intampla pe la altii, in ceea ce priveste festivalurile si concertele, dar se pare ca pe la noi e altfel. Cineva zicea ca America e tara tuturor posibilitatilor, dar se pare ca s-a inselat amarnic. In tara in care manelistii prospera, caci Uniunea Europeana ne arata cu degetul, cum ca nu ne-am iubi minoritatile, in care preturile sunt comparabile cu cele din Marea Britanie, in care artistii isi permit sa cante pe stadioane cu pozitiv - vezi concertul Madonna din 2009, uite ca la noi anul are numai 3 zile.

Este fenomenal si in acelasi timp unic, dar e adevarat. Sunt curios daca va prindeti la ce ma refer...Nimic? Sa va dau un indiciu? Luna Iulie 2011 va spune ceva? Inca nu va-ti prins? Hai sa va dau alt indiciu: 1-3 iulie 2011? Daca nu va-ti prins, o sa spun eu despre ce e vorba. In mai sus amintita perioada, in Bucuresti si zonele inconjuratoare avem 3 evenimente majore si care, fiecare dintre ele, are darul de a atrage enorme mase de oameni. Care sunt acestea?

Pai e simplu: 1-3 iulie 2011 - ROCK THE CITY @ ROMEXPO, Bucuresti

1-3 iulie 2011 - BESTFEST CAMP @ Pipera Tunari Camp, Bucuresti

2 iulie 2011 - Jamiroquai @ Plaja H2O, Mamaia

Pe scurt, se pare ca pentru unii, anul are numai 3 zile. Daca am avea parte de niste evenimente mai mici, asa, de cartier, am zice: Hai lasa, ca ne strecuram noi! Dar asa, ce naiba sa mai faci?

Daca ai banul pe tine iti iei bilete la toate trei si vezi numai trupele preferate, dar nici asa nu e o solutie, caci ajungi sa te damblagesti la cap si sa pici pe jos de oboseala, dupa ce ai facut un tur de 3 zile intre 2 festivaluri si un concert la mare. Ce te faci atunci cand chiar vrei sa le vezi pe toate? Caci la toate aceste evenimente ai ceva de vazut, in fiecare zi este cate o trupa pe care poate nu o sa o mai vezi niciodata, cum ar fi Judas Priest, Whitesnake. Nu zic, The Prodigy au tot venit pe la noi, dar chiar si asa, tot merita sa ii vezi de fiecare data cand ai ocazia, caci show-ul lor te face sa iti iesi din minti cum poate nu ai avut vreodata ocazia. Deci vezi Prodigy in prima zi de Rock the City, fugi apoi a doua zi la mare pentru Jamiroquai si apoi te intorci fuguta la BestFest Camp ca sa ii vezi pe Pendulum live si apoi te declari multumit.

Pare o solutie, asta asa, ca sa zici ca ai bifat evenimentul si apoi ai trecut la altceva. Dar un festival este mai mult decat muzica. Mai ales ca ambele evenimente, atat Rock the City cat si BestFest Camp anunta o serie de atractii care mai de care mai interesante.

Sunt curios cum va fi cu incasarile anul acesta, mai ales ca suntem in an de criza si toata lumea se va duce acolo unde considera ca are mai multe de vazut. Prevad o multime de bilete de o zi si mult mai putine abonamente, caci mai toti vor vrea sa se duca la ambele, daca nu la toate trei evenimentele. Si sa nu uitam...anul acesta ne viziteaza Bon Jovi, la o saptamana dupa ce aceasta mare vanzoleala se va fi terminat. Cum naiba sa te imparti? Nu stiu coane, dar parca istorioara asta nu prea e una din cele fericite. Un festival pe luna sau chiar la doua luni poate fi mai usor de inghitit, dar 2 festivaluri mari cu nume si mai mari pe frontispiciu, in aceeasi perioada, plus un artist de talia lui Jamiroquai la mare, tot atunci, sunt mult prea greu de inghitit.

Si apropos de festivaluri si concerte, ca tot veni vorba. Daca va numarati printre organizatorii de evenimente, gen festivaluri si concerte: este un anumit fotograf, pe nume Filip Silviu, care are prostul obicei de a-si face acreditare la evenimente, folosindu-se de numele meu sau de cel de FestivalPhoto.net. Daca se intampla acest lucru, va rog frumos sa ii refuzati acea cerere, caci acesta nu are dreptul de a se folosi de numele meu sau de cel de FestivalPhoto.net, nefiind vreun reprezentant nici al meu, dar nici al FestivalPhoto.net. Am patit asta la concertul Scorpions, unde acesta si-a facut acreditare spunand ca este si el de la revista lui Vlad Ionut Piriu...Si nu si-a facut numai lui, dar si intregii familii!!! Sa tot mergi asa la concerte, nu? Moca! A.. si nu a figurat pe lista numai din partea mea, ci si din partea Jurnalului National, tot fara sa fi avut vreo legatura cu acesta. Cat de prost si nesimtit sa fii, mai Filip?

New Tickets Cathegory for BON JOVI OPEN AIR, JULY 10th BUCHAREST

It seems that the voice of the poeple has been once again, heard. This time, it seems that some people were annoied when the orgianizers of the BON JOVI concert in Bucharest have decided to introduce a new cathegory of tickets and in the same time, a new zone.

The new zone was called Diamond Circle, and was supposed to occupy all the immediate front area of the stage, so its inhabitants would have the best vision. It was a bit infuriating, since there already a lot of people, and I am talking about the people that have bought all the tickets that were assigned for the Golden Circle, were hopping to get the best seats. And all of a sudden, they didn`t have the best seats.

So they started quarelling on the social sites, and, as a result, the organizers have decided to call it off and forget about the Diamond Ring.

Innitially, the organizers, announced on 18th of May that starting with that day, the people could buy a whole new cathegory of tickets, a far better one, than the ones sold before. Of course, it was all about the Diamond Gircle, a place where 700 very lucky people could be as close to their idols as possible, off course if they could afford to pay the price - 798.8 lei ( approx 200 euros). Pretty big, no?

But I mean, who are we to judge, if you have the money, why wont you go and sit on the stage, if you can. But here were the people that have already bought all the tickets from the Golden Circle area, which was supposed to be the best place, till the Diamond Circle came about. So those people got pissed and started quarellyng.

Finally, the wise decision was taken and the organisers announced that the Diamond Circle tickets would not be sold anymore.

In an official statement, Denisa Sandulescu, spokeswoman for DD EAST ENTERTAINMENT, has declared that the Diamond Circle is something that comes with the Open Air concept, worldwide. That particular area was designated as such by the sponsors of the tour and was supposed to offer a greater confort and a better view for those willing to pay the price. But that decision came too late, unfortunatelly, when the Golden Circle area was already sold-out, and when the people already have paid good money for the best seats in the house. So Denisa Sandulescu has decided to stop the process of selling the tickets for the Diamond Area and to give up this cathegory of tickets for good. Those that already have bought the tickets for this area, will receive a Golden Circle ticket instead, and the rest of the money.

As a plus, the organisers have decided to add the 700 Diamond tickets to the Golden Circle existing ones so they supplimented the Golden Circle tickets. This is a good decision, since there are a lot of fans willing to pay the price and be as close as possible to the New Jersey Cowboys.

If you want your ticket, you still can find tickets in the other cathegories, as follows:

VIP - 479,3 lei(125 euros)

Tribuna - 372,8 lei (85 euros)

Golden Circle - 298,2 lei (70 euros) SOLD OUT

Normal Circle - 186,4 lei (46 euros)

Peluza Parlament - 159,8 lei (38 euros)

The tickets can be bought direct from the Germanos, Orange, Vodafone, Domo Stores and the Humanitas and Carturesti Bookstores from all over Romania. If you are abroad, you can find them online from www.eventim.ro.

The concert is presented in Romania by East European Entertainment and Marcel Avram, in a joint venture with D&D East Entertainment.

After no more than two weeks from the moment the tickets went on sale, the promotional cathegory was sold out. What is notable here is that this meant that over 10 000 tickets were sold in no more than 2 weeks. Maybe that is nothing in western countries, where entire concerts sell out in a couple of hours, but for Romania, given the economical crisys still bothering us, we can say that this is something quite fantastic. We are very glad to say that not only the romanian fans are waiting for this concert, but also the bulgarian ones, 1500 tickets being bought online from Bulgary.

Besides Bulgary, tickets to the Bucharest BON JOVI concert, have been sold in Serbia, Hungary or Austria.

Over 2000 tickets were sold at the promotional price, and right now the Golden Circle tickets are sold-out also.

Until now, around 20000 tickets were sold. If you want your ticket, you still can find tickets in the other cathegories, as follows:

VIP - 479,3 lei(125 euros)

Tribuna - 372,8 lei (85 euros)

Golden Circle - 298,2 lei (70 euros) SOLD OUT

Normal Circle - 186,4 lei (46 euros)

The band doesn`t want to come to Romania empty handed and also they want to visit the country a little bit, so they said into a interview on Antena 1, that they started documenting, using father Google as guide in their endeavour to understand as much as possible our country. They said that they were possitive that in all the 27 world wide tours they have visited every country on Earth, but then they have discovered Romania.

So they want to know about Romania, more than the usual Dracula stories. So if you want to see the band playing live in Bucharest, on July 10th go online and grab your ticket and let us meet there, and let us have the time of our lives.

Bon Jovi rocks our hearts on July 10th in Piata Constitutiei, Bucharest - Romania

Bon Jovi plays live in Romania for the first time, on Sunday July 10th 2011. The Concert will take place at Piata Constitutiei, Bucharest. Since Romania still doesn`t have a propper stadium ready yet, we see Piata Constitutiei more and more these days. This is the same place where legendary voices and bands have plaied and we will name only a few: AC/DC, Shakira, Sarah Brightman and so on.

Going back to Bon Jovi, the band has added Romania to their incredible long list of places that they are going to visit this year, during their present worldwide tour. Their decision comes as a result of a very long list of requests from their enthusiast romanian fans. As a result, Romania was added to the list on February 4th,2011.

The tour has already registered an incredible success, after a very good 2010, when the band, according to Billboard and Pollstar, took the lead and became the band with the biggest winnings in 2010. Bon Jovi won this title for the second time in three years. The band is going to perform live in USA, Canada and Europe. Winner of a Grammy award, Bon Jovi has sold over 125 de millioan albums, and plaied live in over 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries and in front of over 35 million rock hungry fans.

Their last album, “BON JOVI GREATEST HITS” was launched on top positions in worldwide music charts, in November 2010. The album looks back to the biggest hits of the band and in the same time comprised a carreer of 30 years of pure rock music, an incredible and unique sound that took the band on the top of the charts in the whole wide world. The album was sold in a week in a equal amount to the number of copies being sold from the album Cross Road, launched in 1994, a number reaching over 21 million disks over the entire year. Prior to that, “Lost Highway Tour” has reached the top position in 2008.

After 3 decaded of incredible musical carreer, Bon Jovi comes to Bucharest with a majestic live performance.

The concert is presented in Romania by East European Entertainment and Marcel Avram, in a joint venture with D&D East Entertainment.
