Planning Your Hayley Year

Thanks for the confirmation of the new concerts this evening.

There seem to be so many that it's actually becoming quite difficult to plan a Hayley year and there are enough concerts to actually pick and choose. July in particular could be quite a busy month.

I live in a Hayley-deprived part of the world and can look upon such good fortune for you all in the UK who can blithely "pick and choose" with only melancholy for myself.... that is, until I read the wonderful reviews you all tirelessly provide. I'm expecting some great stuff from everyone this year. Do not disappoint.

The number of Hayley UK concerts this year is becoming a logistics nightmare but rather a nice one to have! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

It's great for Hayley as we all know that she enjoys performing live in front of her fans and of course, the money will come in useful.

Would I be right in thinking that the large number of concerts already confirmed (and I am sure there will be more) is possibly linked to the release of the next album?

I have recently booked tickets for other performers and their ticket prices are at least double the price of average Hayley tickets.
Sometimes even quadruple the price.

So it would appear that Hayley gives very good value for money OR maybe her Management should increase their prices.

A good point Comet but I think Bedlam and the promoters have got it about right (i.e. around £25 for a solo concert). Any more and it may put off the "casual" concert visitor.

Depends which end of Herts you are in but are you intending to make Dunstable?

I work less than half an hour away and this being a Thursday evening is ideal, so that's a yes!

Thanks for the booking info Martin, saves me checking the site every morning!

Wimbledon I'm considering, but it's a day after Broadlands so that would either be overkill or the perfect weekend.

I think about Wimledon or maybe Shrewsbury.
But I won't decide it now. Maybe there are some more concerts to fill Hayley's schedule.

I think another aspect of this is that she still 'needs' (right word?) to attract more of her own age, that means students and those newly in jobs, another reason for keeping prices as low as possible.

Yes, that is good. I remember after the first time I saw Hayley perform, saying I was glad I had seen her whilst I could still afford to do so. I still think Hayley's concerts are an absolute bargain. I have paid much more in the past for much less enjoyable performances.

Richard,

Do you know if Hayley's New Zealand schedule has been set for 2009 yet?

Hi Larry

All we know at the moment is that Hayley is heading home on Sunday 21st December for her family Christmas. If there are to be any New Zealand concerts my guess would be the second half of January.

As soon as any details are known you can bet that they'll be posted here.

Best wishes
Grant

Hi Larry,

Going by past patterns there will be no NZ schedule till 2010
but
I hope to be proved wrong i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

:
A Unicef NZ

Fundraiser concert would be awesome

ok wishful thinking

Hi Belinda,

Thanks for the info. I hope you're wrong. I thought Hayley did a tour every year in Feb. I was going to come down for a month if she was touring. I've always wanted to visit New Zealand.
I guess if she doesn't do a tour this year I'll have to trek back to the UK. Thats OK though I love it there. I only our U S dollar wasn't so weak.

Hi All,
I agree with Belinda but will still be on alert for this post Xmas 2008 period.
We have a ~ 3hr. flight to get to NZ.

I have no expectations of concert/s in Australia.
(I hope I'm wrong....we have a lovely theatre in Wollongong which holds ~ 800 if anybody is reading this)

Hi Larry Belinda and everyone, yeah it would be nice to have Larry but as Belinda pointed out it has been two yearly normally. BUT! BUT! BUT! This year we have (in the UK anyway) a River Of Dreams Promotion! As to NZ and AUS getting in on the ROD tour I guess remains to be seen,it would be a wonderful opportunity to promote Hayley's new album here in NZ and AUS. I am surprised it has been so long since Hayley has performed live in concert in AUS. I think it was at the Sydney Opera House wasn't it? Back in 2004?? Please correct me if I am wrong folks as I am basically guessing here.

cheers,
