Thanks Chria ________________________________ From: John Dillon To: Avalon List Sent: Tuesday, November 5, 2013 7:35 PM Subject: [AVALON] Glasgow & Edinburgh VIP Tickets Greetings From the latest reports The Jazz Age Tour seems to be eliciting some glowing reviews. I had very much been looking forward to this trip, three of the shows, but most importantly the pre show and post show meet ups. Oh for those halcyon days again. Regrettably I'm sorry to say I will now miss Glasgow / Edinburgh & York. I must be in Canada the same week to provide training for a new customer. OK now for the some good news for some lucky Avalonian. My tickets need a good home: Glasgow: I have a pair of VIP Package seats 1st row center stalls. That's right front row! Edinburgh: I have a pair of VIP Package seats 2nd Row center stalls. Not front row but positivity the very next best thing! York: I also have a pair of premium tickets Row C (which I think is actually row 7) in York. So you can still see an d be seen. I will be letting these tickets go at well below the original ticket cost. If you are interested or you know anyone who would be interested please contact me off list. "Don't hesitant or stall"... as I will need make arrangements to get you the tickets ASAP. So, if you were a wee bit tempted before to see a great show and meet Mr. Ferry your ship may have just come in and now is your chance. Best to all...Hope to see you soon.
