It’s all over the media now, so I would believe it ;-)

This tour takes place yearly as far as I know and one cannot buy tickets for it. It’s organised for different companies in Sweden, they give the tickets among their employees.

I saw Eva Dahlgren in 2000 in such a tour/show, it was.. different :-) She sang about 5 of her own songs and then she played in some funny gags/scenes and joined other artists singing as well.

Cool!!! :-)))))

I am sure if tickets are available they won’t come cheap, but good luck to all those who want them!

Jud (moderator) said on May 27, 2008 14:24:

What for sure won’t happen is that Marie is on stage during the whole show. There are other (famous) artists participating as well and each of them gets more or less time on stage.

I am not trying to make this event less important, just trying to make sure that there are no missunderstandings and nobody expects to a 2-hour Marie concert.

For what I remember for the one I saw in 2000: it was fun, Eva sang her most famous songs (Ängel i rummet, stjärnorna, hålll om mej) I think alone on stage (with orchestra) and played in 2 scenes and joined 1-2 artists on stage (backing vocals).

What I also noticed is that audience saw it more like a musical or theater piece and didn’t sing along, just clapped when it was the time for it and laughed at the funny scenes :)

Nice start for Marie anyway :)))) not too much stress, but still a tour :))))

The only thing that I really like is the big band - wow! I’d really like to hear some of Marie’s songs played by a big band. But I doubt that it’s worth several hundred euro.

All the other artists are artists that haven’t been famous for years. Except maybe for Måns Zelmerlöw. I’ve never heard of the show “Stjärnklart” that they in the article claim is a huge show...

daniel_alv said on May 27, 2008 21:14:

I have heard about it, but I wouldn’t say it is huge.

AURYTE said on May 28, 2008 04:55:

I agree it’s fantactic news :) I’d like to go.

Around 150 Euro a ticket. But only companies can buy tickets and they have to buy 10 or more.

140 € ?? So much money only to see some old swedish singers?

STUPID!!!!

tevensso (moderator) said on May 29, 2008 05:54:

This is the kind of thing that companies buy tickets for and give to their customers for X-mas. There’s also an ABBA tour that is the same. It’s used as a “thank you for your business” bribe sort of thing. This way they can sell more tickets than if it was open to the public.

Your best bet is to contact the organizers and see what they say.

AURYTE said on July 17, 2008 07:41:

I really like Neil’s idea of the meeting of Roxette’s/Marie’s fans. But let’s wait till October.

anyone had any luck with tickets for this? I would love to go, but not sure if I’ll be able to get a ticket. I could really only go to one of the gigs on a saturday night (29th Nov in stockholm 6th Dec in Malmö, or 13th Dec in Gothenburg), as I cant get time off work.

brik said on October 29, 2008 02:24:

I had everything organized for travel to Sweden.since March, to see the shows of Marie, but it was impossible. I could not get tickets: (

ncurran said on October 29, 2008 08:56:

thanks, i will try writing to her. is there someone that would go with me? I dont really fancy sitting on my own at some corporate event....lol

tevensso (moderator) said on October 29, 2008 23:26:

€200 for a ticket, plus the trip from whatever country just to see Marie sing one or two songs? I don’t judge, but in my book that’s insane.

Perekopsky said on October 30, 2008 02:17:

It is your choice whether to go and to see Marie on stage even for 3 or 4 songs or to stay at home and enjoy what you like doing.
Don’t judge people ;) because we all different and we do what we want to do with our money whether to buy a ticket to this show or for instance to buy a chair signed by Per or a vinyl with old songs for 4550 SEK.
You don’t have to respect someone’s solution or choice because this person may not need it from your side ;)
Anyway this is you who will then ask for a video or for some pictures taken from the show :)
Future will show.

Perekopsky said on October 30, 2008 05:47:

Damn right! Time will tell of course :)
I arrange this with organizers and with Dimman too. I mean takin’ pix and makin’ videos and arrangin’ Meet&Greet with Marie F.
Keep my fingers crossed ;)

ncurran said on October 30, 2008 10:25:

Yep, after consideration I think I’ll give it a miss as it would just be more debt after quite an expensive year in my personal life, and all of that time and money to listen to a couple of songs, and I would guess the atmosphere will be pretty flat as well. I think i would have considered it if it was a group of people together as it could have been a laugh, but i think if i did fly over for this I would probably just spend a lot of money and not particularly enjoy it.
I suppose as a Marie fan you just worry if you’ll have another opportunity to see her live, but thats just a risk i’ll have to take

Roxryder said on October 31, 2008 00:23:

If you can afford it no matter how much it is and just for 1-3 songs she’ll still be Marie and once in a lifetime opportunity maybe it won’t happen again or maybe it’s the first time you have the chance to do it. My advise is if you want to go the concert wether it’s the savings of your life or you have the money seeing Marie live onstage would be something you’ll tresured all your life more than 200 euro that might be spent on taxes or a present for someone in your office you don’t like (just a couple of examples). Even if you’re travelling from the other side of the world for just 20min of Marie will be worth it. A humble point of view.

If you feel now you would regret it, it’s a high per cent that you would.
It depends on your feelings too.
These 200 Euro mean not only seeing Marie live onstage, it also means Stockholm, wine, emotions, laughter, X-mas shopping, meeting friends and so on and so force.
That’s why I am longing for these days. And of course this will be the first time I will watch Marie solo live onstage.

tevensso (moderator) said on October 31, 2008 08:41:

@brik: Yes, thank you for proving my point - it’s insane! I would never ever save 10 months’ pay and travel to Argentina to see a concert or two. Food etc. comes first. But each to his own.

wild_red_amaranth said on October 31, 2008 11:23:

Everyone can do what he/she wants with the money he/she owns, and I am not here to judge. I was also doing the same when I was younger, but then I became realistic and I understood that it was a point to draw a line, a limit. I mean she decided to do this tour NOT open to everyone, just for people who works in firms etc.etc and she did it just for earn easy money, singing 2 or maybe 3 songs every evening ( 1O or 15 minutes max?). I am sure she will be paid a lot, and the tickets are bloody expensive. She can make her choices with her career, but I don’t agree with this kind of choice. I find it quite disappointing that these events are not open to common people like you and me, but to chosen people. This is unfair.Then the price for a ticket is insane. Anyway I wish a pleasant and unforgetful experience to everyone who will go there. I would never go there, personally speaking.
