Who's ready for a pity party story?
well, the hollies will be in nottingham on my birthday march 23, 2012. so i'm thinking - even though i can't make a trip to the uk to see them in person, i'll just buy a ticket as a gift to myself! great idea!
i find an open seat in the royal concert hall - row b seat 7 - literally just a few feet in front of my guitar hero Tony Hicks!!!
i enter all my info and then i get a message that since i have an international address, they will hold my ticket at the box-office - what?
they won't mail it to me?
i was prepared to pay international postage to have it sent to me, but no, no souvenir ticket for this girl.
well, that's my story. i'll dry my eyes, and go back to my real life now!!!
my best wishes to everyone who will get to attend that show - enjoy it double for me!! |

I know what you mean. I have every intention of going next year with or without the husband. I told him to hang out at the nearest pub and I will pick him up later.
If they can't come across the water to me then I am going to them.

Order your ticket again,
I can collect it for you and post it across. I am only 3 miles from the Royal Concert Hall. No problem |

Rob - You've got to convince the guys to come to the US. We all miss seeing and hearing them. |

Hi Sass!
have you checked how much it costs to take the trip? If I were you, I had rather eaten rice and beans for some time than not to be able to use that ticket. |

Your right Knut, the trick is save up and pop over to the UK and see The Hollies on their own home soil, I'm pleased I did. The chance of the Hollies coming to places like Australia and the US are very slim. Believe me the English make you feel very welcome. |

ahhh - Knut and Anthony, such sweet men you are! yes, it would be heaven to pop over to the uk and see them all live in concert, my dream in fact. but cost is not the only factor, there are other things. . . complicating the situation. . . you see. so buying a ticket to a show i will not attend is about as impetuous and thrilling as it will get for me right now!!
plus, some of you fab hollies fans may be at that very show - and hopefully post some vids to yt! then i will be able to watch my guys from the comfort of my own home - haha
my Dear Rob ~ we really need some new live concert performances recorded on dvd and made available for purchase by us fan'addicts' ( i know. . . dream on . . . )
my best wishes for the roaring success of the rest of this fall tour please say hello from texas to the band for me - just keep playing the music - all my love! kc |

ROB, ROB, ROB i am such a happy woman right now! my ticket arrived today WITH the autographs of all the Hollies on it!
after i picked myself up from the floor (lol) i couldn't believe what YOU and the GUYS did for me
Hollies, you are really kind to your fans, i keep reading what others say about how sweet each of you are in person, always ready to stop and have a chat if time permits, take photos, and sign autographs, and so on.
i never dreamed i would receive such a wonderful gift as this. the words, "Thank You" seem terribly inadequate. i cannot even begin to express my heartfelt thanks to you for such a thoughtful gesture. . . to the wonderful men who are the Hollies, for taking the time to do a small thing for you - which is such an utterly tremendous thing for me!!
i will certainly always cherish this gift - with all the affection in my heart for you, Rob, and Tony, Bobby, Peter, Ray, Ian, and Steve - for making this such a memorable keepsake.
THE HOLLIES, along with the team of people who support you and make it all happen ARE THE BEST my love to you all!!! |
