I'm from Russia and it was such a mess even for us to buy the tickets >.

I've heard! They were really slow with replying and giving out the receipts. Only people living IN St. Petersburg got it easy as they could just walk into a ticket-shop and buy them directly.

See you there :D

the biggest problem was to buy tickets to the Moscow gig. and the prices are really high >.< no wonder many people hate our organizers xD

why did you choose St. Petersburg? :)

Well I reserved tickets for both gigs just to see which one would reply first. And since I got a reply from St. Petersburg first (and a more clear and comprehensive reply as well) we decided to pick that one. Both cities would be amazing to visit. Peter for the Hermitage and other famous museums and Moscow for, well Moscow :P We are very excited to have a holiday to Peter now, though! We are staying for 4 days after the concert. :) If I lived in Russia I would've gone to both gigs as well! :P

The prices are indeed a lot higher than the gigs I went to in Holland or Wembley, even. It's just a matter of different economic structure; no, or less subsidy from the government for cultural performances, for example. Glad to hear you managed to get tickets for both shows, though!
