Here goes. There are six concerts in total: - Cardiff, Friday 20th March - Gateshead, Monday 23rd March - Birmingham, Tuesday 24th March - London, Thursday 26th March - Ipswich, Sunday 29th March - Manchester, Monday 30th March Tickets can be bought directly from the venue or via Ticketmaster at: www.ticketmaster.co.uk/search?tm_link=tm_header_search&user_input=laura+wright&q=laura+wright&search.x=28&search.y=16Prices are good (£22.50 except for London which is £25) but, however, I am slightly peeved that a "VIP" ticket at over £60 has been introduced which offers "best" seats and a pre-concert "meet and greet". This is something that Katherine Jenkins normally does. It does not necessarily mean that, with the exception of London, you cannot get front row seats. Still, us real fans can, hopefully, meet Laura after the concert for free!! Martin |

Hi Martin,
Thanks for posting the dates of Laura's 2015 mini tour.
I have already bought my ticket for the Union Chapel concert. I too thought that £64 was steep for the VIP ticket but have decided to pay the extra, partly due to Union Chapel's unreserved seating policy and also the meet and greet before the show. I have queued for up for some hours outside various venues hoping to get a decent seat at or near the front, only to find the front few rows of seating reserved for friends and family.
I must say I am slightly miffed at your implication that those buying VIP tickets aren't her 'real' fans. Some will have travelled quite a distance and have trains to catch, they just don't have the time to hang around the stage door after the show. I'm sure (well. hope!) you never meant it to sound like that but that's how it comes across. I regard myself as a real fan irrespective of how much I am willing to pay for a ticket, whatever type it may be.
Regards,
Graham

Hi Graham It wasn't meant that way at all!  You should know me better than that.  I fully understand why you have bought the higher priced ticket but my inference is that any fan has the chance to meet Laura after the concert. Cheers Martin |

Hi Martin,
Thanks for posting the dates.
I have booked tickets for the Union Chapel and Manchester concerts. I have also opted for the VIP ticket for the Union Chapel concert, it's not something I would usually do so I am not sure how the price compares but it is less than I paid for VIP tickets for All Angels cathedral tour in 2008 and that was a bit of a farce, it's that experience which usually puts me off. I am really looking forward to this one though!

If anyone is interested in the Ipswich date then there are currently front row seats available for £22.50.

Buying a VIP ticket for Union Chapel is not a bad idea since it will avoid having to queue up for hours in order to get a good seat. I do wonder that now there are VIP tickets it will mean that Laura will not be available for a general signing post concert.

I have also bought a VIP ticket for Union Chapel.
Probably the only concert of this tour that I will get to.

Hi all,
Received my VIP ticket a few days ago. Although 'VIP' is written on the ticket there is no information regarding timings for the meet and greet, etc. Hopefully this will be forthcoming a bit nearer to the date.
Slightly more worrying (to me anyway) is that the Ticketmaster site has removed any mention of 'best seats' from the Union Chapel VIP ticket information although they are still offered at the other venues. I'm wondering if they've realised as it's unreserved seating they can't pronise best seats?

Hi Graham
Yes, I've noticed that too but it does now state on Ticketmaster that the "Meet and Greet" takes place at 6.00pm.
That being the case then I would certainly hope (and expect) that we will be allowed to take our seats before the main doors are opened at 7.00pm.

A seventh concert has now been added on 24th April at the Royal Hippodrome Theatre in Eastbourne. Laura is supported by Elektra who I have never heard of before. Google comes up with an Icelandic rock group!

Those going to Union Chapel on a VIP ticket will now have the "meet and greet" after the show! Very odd but in a way this will be kinder on Laura's voice. However, there is no mention of arrangements or times when these ticket holders will gain admission to the Chapel.  Martin |

You should know me better than that.
