I would have prefered an email kind of "You bought tickets for 2018, so you are able to buy this time before the general public"...
I joined as a member last year and they sent me an email this week saying 'even if your membership has elapsed for 2019/20 you can still buy tickets for the rescheduled event'. So they were half-way there. -

There will probably be an encore, and the Raiders March could re-appear there. They played that as an encore during the LSO concert at RAH last year.OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD. I'm just unbelievably excited about this (again). I'm trying to temper my expectations following last year but I can't. The guy's clearly absolutely determined to do this before he retires! This is my one and only chance

Very disappointed to have lost the Raiders March, but it's been my lifelong dream to see JW conduct the Jurassic Park theme. I will cry tears of joy and I'm not even exaggerating.

Can anyone confirm the exact time they go on sale on their website, with time zone?
8am UK time if that helps. Most decent tickets have gone, so I'd be prompt with whatever's left when it does go on sale.
12 minutes ago, crumbs said:I have to buy tickets on my phone so who knows what I'll be able to select. Do you get to choose the actual seat or is just assigned to you randomly?
Both. You can choose 'best seats' which auto allocates or choose tickets on a 3d map of the venue.
16 minutes ago, crumbs said:And which seating categories should I go for if I want a seat in the front seating section, front row, or front row of the balcony towards to the front of the theatre? Or are those seats basically all gone now?
I could sort you one if you want (I have a membership)... -
I noticed when last year's Vienna shows were scheduled Itzhak Perlman was due to perform at the Musikverein on the same day as the first JW performance, though it stated on the site a few days before the JW announcement that Perlman had cancelled. It would have been amazing if they'd have had performed together for that show!
Looks like he's in the US this time around
-
I suspect there are a lot of people on here who have seen him multiple times, but this (fingers crossed, again) will be my first time! I just hope to god he flies out early enough to get over jet lag and relax for a few days before the performances!

I might be interested, but wouldn't that be very complicated?
Slightly, I suppose. I should be able to have e-tickets sent to a different email address, I think. On top of that, there's the obvious aspect of you not knowing me and being wary of handing out funds to a stranger - which I obviously appreciate. Does anyone else know if a member's ticket purchase can be sent to a different email address?

It seems JW has updated the program for this concert in 2020 compared to the cancelled one.
Newly added:
Sound the Bells
Across the Stars
Donnybrook Fair from “Far and Away”
Remembrances from “Schindler’s List”
Out to Sea / Shark Cage Fugue
Love Theme from “Superman”
Missing:
Suite from "Memoirs of a Geisha"
Nimbus 2000 from "Harry Potter"
Harry's Wondrous World from "Harry Potter"I much prefer the updated set we’re getting in 2020.
Absolutely, and with the Raiders March thrown in to kick off the second part. Nice!

I have a membership - if anyone wants any tickets, let me know. The cheapest non-awful ones left are in the gallery at the rear at 90 bucks.

It's working now... go go go!

ANyone else struggling with error messages?

I've just had an email from the Vienna Musikverein to confirm that the cancelled dates from last year have bveen rescheduled for january 2020. Here's the email...

We are pleased to announce the commitment of John Williams to perform selected highlights from his rich musical output with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
As a ticket purchaser of the cancelled concert from last November, we wanted to inform you, exclusively before the official release date on October 22, 2019, that the concerts will take place.

I AM SO EXCITED I'VE BEEN PLAYING HIS SONGS IN THE OFFICE AT A HORRIFICALLY UNACCEPTABLE VOLUME. EVERYONE HATES ME NOW.
Edit - I've seen it's been posted elsewhere, how can I delete this post? -

Vienna is a beautiful city. You’ll have a good time. Though I think we’ll be a couple of JWfaners roaming the streets, with vacant stares, dreaming of a concert that never was.
Many thanks for the welcome! I'll definitely be one of those street roamers, probably humming the Schindler's List theme sadly to myself looking forlorn.
Oh, and it's also really helpful at this time to hear people remind everyone how many times they've seen JW live - real helpful guys 😂 -

Good afternoon all.
Long time fan of JW, first time poster. Like everyone else I'm absolutely gutted to find out about today's cancellations. More than anything because I've never had the opportunity to see him live and am flying to Vienna from Wales for his Saturday Vienna show. Whilst it goes without saying that everyone here wishes him a speed recovery, it's quite easy to understand why so many would be so upset for personal reasons. I'm still travelling to Vienna as everything by this point is non-refundable, and hell, it seems like an awesome place to go for a long weekend! But my god this is gutting. JW has been firmly at the top of my musical bucket list for decades, and given that I'm from Europe we don;t tend to get as many chances to see him live as our American counterparts.
As mentioned, fingers crossed it's a passing illness and he makes an ultra quick recovery, and fingers crossed he gives us another shot next year perhaps! For now though, I'll remain in my pit of despair and continue wallowing in it.

I saw someone walking around in a black metal hoodie, another in a Jurassic Park shirt, one with a star wars shirt and one with a dinner jacket made to look like a musical sheet/notes. You'll be fine!
