INFORMATION REGARDING RACE TICKETS

Race tickets (combination tickets to The Race Legends and Roxette) will not be valid to the entrance of the concert with Roxette in Halmstad, on 14th of August. The reason is that the area of the concert in Halmstad has a limitation in terms of audience capacity.

Purchased tickets are valid for next year’s event. The exact date will be announced this September on theracelegends.com

For refund of tickets, send your information no later then September 15th to: refund@theracelegends.com

Reimbursement of The Race Legends tickets?

Jul 26

Posted by Tomasz in Rumours, Tour | 5 Comments

We got an interesting message from Andreas Kämpf regarding The Race Legends tickets

I got a phone call from Caroline Jepson from TRL last Thursday. She asked me if I want to change my racetickets to Roxette-tickets or if I want to give the tickets back and cancel my hotelbooking. Since I have new tickets for Halmstad I canceled the whole Anderstorp package. She sent me an e-mail and I replied with my bank account details. Now she will transfer the money I payed back into my German bank-account. I expect the money in the next days and will keep you informed.

The Race Legends event with Roxette gig cancelled!

Jul 8

Posted by Sascha in Media, Roxette, Tour | 4 Comments

According to an jnytt.se article, the upcoming The Race Legends event at Anderstorp raceway got cancelled due to financial problems of the organizers. It was meant to be the biggest event for the site since the 70s. As the article states, Roxette’s gig at the raceway doesn’t survive the failure. An official press release by organizer Urban Stamming about this issue is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday.

The Race Legends organisation was marked with confusion and failures from the beginning. There was a public dispute about the accepted ticket resellers.

Biljettnu.se wants to receive compensation from TRL

Feb 17

Posted by Tomasz in Media, Roxette | 4 Comments

It seems like the circus around the sale of Roxette’s tickets for show on Anderstorp Raceway will never end.

According to Swedish Radio Biljettnu.se’s CEO Hans Haraldsson was not very happy with The Race Legends’ decision to include Eventim.se and LiveNation.se as the new resellers of Roxette tickets. Now Biljett Nu wants to receive compensation for breaking the deal as they thought they bought exclusive rights for this particular concert.

The Race Legends did not want to comment on that issue and Urban Stamming said that he thinks it is an unnecessary discussion.

Interview with The Race Legends’ CEO Urban Stamming

Jan 31

Posted by Tomasz in Roxette | 1 Comment

Swedish Radio P4 Jönköping (the county where Roxette’s concert will take place) broadcasted the interview with The Race Legends’ CEO Urban Stamming on January 28th, where he confirmed that Roxette would play the whole concert and everyone who buys the three-days ticket will be able to attend the gig. He even said that Roxette started rehearsals for this concert in Halmstad! (We do not know if it is true or not – I can only assume it’s a rumour). Urban wasn’t also sure if there are going to be more concert with Roxette in Europe in 2010.

So if you have a chance to visit Anderstorp, don’t miss it!

Roxette to perform in front of 10,000 people on August 14th.

Jan 28

Posted by Tomasz in Roxette, Tour | 29 Comments

According to Aftonbladet‘s article Roxette is going to perform on a Anderstorp Raceway in Småland region, Sweden on August 14th during “The Race Legends” event. Over 10,000 people will be able to see Roxette’s performance, more than 45,000 will attend the whole event.

“Roxette hasn’t played Sweden since 2001, it feels great to be on stage in Sweden again. This will be much fun, I have been there several times and actually even raced there, too”, says Per Gessle.

According to TDR, the concert will last for about 90 minutes.

At the moment you can buy tickets only for the whole event. There will be few tickets especially dedicated for this concert, but it is unknown when they will be released.

Update: TDR added a short interview with Per. Yes, they aim to play a full show, running 60-70 minutes – but yes, there may be other artists as well. And there are more Roxette “things” to come beside this and the new album!

And Per likes to hear our wishes:

If you have nothing to do…. Pls write down your song suggestions for the Anderstorp show. Look forward to the hidden gems…

The gig is organized by Live Nation.
