Americans bought the rights for Swedish “Låt den rätte komma in” film in which Per Gessle’s song “Kvar i min bil” was used as one of the main themes. Now you can watch the American trailer on YouTube. If you are nostalgic and find Swedish version as better one (even though American version did not have its premiere), see this clip.

Lost 20,000 SEK on Roxette tickets
As we know Roxette’s comeback gig was moved from Anderstorp till Halmstad. Suprisingly, not only the oragnizer and the place were changed but also the ticket’s price – it became cheaper. But Röke Buss’s company which bought 200 tickets is not happy about this fact.
NorraSkåne.se informs about Lars Erlingsson, Röke Buss owner, who bought 200 tickets and paid 125,000 SEK in total for them. However, since the concert was later moved to Halmstad and the price for one standing ticket was reduced by 100 SEK, which means that Lars Erlingsson paid in the end 20,000 SEK more for the tickets. “We have tried to make contact with the dealer, but we cannot find them. Neither via email or telephone,” he tells the newspaper.
The newspaper also tried to get in touch with Biljettnu.se but they only got the answering machine informing that the Biljettnu.se are valid, whatever all articles published during the past days.
