Let's hope we can get those! Major disappointment if not!

Apologies if I missed the post somewhere, but do we know when tickets go on sale?

No hurry. There is still more than six months to go! You can be pretty sure they will be announced on here long before they go on general sale. I'm guessing that Onkel Fish is still working on the arrangements anyway, so final pricing may depend on what he decides to do!

No tickets on sale yet.
Venue is booked and program will be put together once the band reorms for the upcoming electric gigs...

As conan says... Loads of time....

Let's just say that you might want to be keeping an eye on the website around the end of the month.

Afternoon All,

This may be a dumb question, but hey, that's never stopped me before, so here goes:


What goes on at the Conventions? The reasons I ask are threefold:

1]I will probably coming on my own as hubby Dodger is not keen on crowds; this is not a problem as you all sound throroughly decent folks, but a heads up on what to expect would be helpful.

2] Does Fish sing at these get togethers? [If The Big Man always does, then for those of you currently eye rolling and thinking "Does a bear defecate in the arboreal area" etc, please be patient with me as I have never been to a Fan Convention of any sort, ever! ]

3] What is the rough ratio of guys to gals attending?
[i]NB: NOT because I am about to put on my gladrags and become a good-time gal, just that, as a gal attending alone, it would be helpful to know if there are any other single/groups of gals that regularly attend, or indeed some thoroughly decent chaps/mixed groups who would be willing to take a newbie under their collective wing occasionally so that I don't freak out [I also have a bit of AARRGGHh-ness around huge crowds of people; you will ALWAYS find me in the kitchen cupboard at parties..]


Huge thanks in anticipation,

Stella The Scaredy Cat

PS: Promise not to blather on endlessly.. will ensure all meds are up to date and that I have a big roll of Duck Tape with me in case of stream-oF-consciousness exhausting rattle and hum requires a "Zip it, Stella" moment...

Basically the convention is a weekend of Fish-related events with concerts in the evening. Usually fans get together for 'extra-curricular' events which are discussed here among other places. But fear not, an itinerary is usually posted nearer the time and then any gaps we fill with stuff.

Not really sure about the man:woman ratio - but I think it's likely that you'll see more men than women there.

No matter what - it's a good time for all. Great music, great company.

Thanks John, great response - really looking forward to it now....

Cheers,

Stella
