“Roxette World Tour 2011” – Setlist Voting PART 1

A few hundred fans decided to drop their votes in our little voting machine called “Roxette World Tour 2011 – let’s help with the setlist again!“. There were some who did not play fair and tried to vote more than once, but they did not succeed in the end. After two months of voting and hours of counting, we can announce the final results…

  1. The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye
  2. A Thing About You
  3. Spending My Time
  4. The Rain
  5. Silver Blue
  6. June Afternoon
  7. Surrender
  8. Run To You & Keep Me Waiting
  9. So Far Away

To quote the Man from the summer Daily Roxette interview:

I don’t know about this Internet vote, there always comes up weird song choices like “The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye” laughs Per. We played ‘Silver Blue’ since that song won. We did it in a new arrangement that was nice.

Will Roxette use any of our propositions in their setlist? Time will only tell.

By the way, be prepared for a very quick voting just after the album’s release. You know – to pick up the songs we like the most from that. 🙂

Update Jan 9:

Berlin show sold out!

Roxette’s world tour concert in Berlin appears to be sold out at the biggest ticket vendor eventim.de. This could change again with additional contingents but indicates the nearing end of capacity. However, the promotion partner Spreeradio still has tickets on sale. So if you think about going there — don’t wait too long!

Update: A couple of hours later the other official ticket vendors like getgo.de and trinitymusic.de have sold out as well. Be cautious if you buy from unknown re-sellers! The normal price was between 59 and 62 €.

Prague show almost sold out

Today the Czech ticket webseite Sazkatickets opened the last sectors – the last seats – for the Roxette show. While the standing tickets are already sold out, there’s also only 2.300 seats left. With a capacity of 18,000 people the hall is almost sold out.
