July 27, 200618 yr ...here's an Argentinian hoping he will perform "Rudebox"! I shall do a review after the concert if you like.
July 27, 200618 yr Author Oh. My. God. First concert- Robbie at the River Plate Stadium. :cheer: How fantastic. We want full updates Luciano. Starting with everything that appears in the Argentine papers in the run up, the concert itself, all the reviews. Everything. How many people does the River Plate Stadium hold?
July 27, 200618 yr Hmmm... not sure, but I think around 70k people! I will update with everything I can... promotion has already started with news on the TV and tickets already available!
July 27, 200618 yr Nope :cry: The pre-sale is on now, but that's for Inner Sanctum members only (which I'm not)... Sales for the general public starts this Monday.
July 27, 200618 yr Author Will there be a ticket scramble do you think? Will you need to queue up? :unsure:
July 27, 200618 yr I'm afraid I will have to queue up :( Nonetheless, it's my very first concert so it's okay to queue and wait! I will be rewarded with such an amazing performance, lol
July 27, 200618 yr Author Can one of you not still join the Inner Sanctum and get tix that way ( or is it too late to do that now?). If there were 4 of you, one could join, get the 4 tix and you all could split the joining fee. It would cost you a bit more but may be worth it if it guarantees tix. :unsure: But then I guess if you don't minding queuing for hours it doesn't matter so much. :P

I asked my mom if she could become a member to buy the tix via Inner Sanctum. If it's possible to buy the tickers on pre-sale at this stage, I will do that... if not, I will queue, lol
July 27, 200618 yr Author I just checked the Official Site. It says you can still subscribe to the Inner Sanctum and buy tickets for Argentina and Chile.
July 27, 200618 yr Author Good Luck The Official Site is here by the way- http://www.robbiewilliams.com/
July 28, 200618 yr Here's an article from Argentina's most famous newspaper "ClarÃn". Robbie Williams en la Argentina El británico ya habÃa estado en el 94, pero sólo dio un show Ãntimo y otro en TV. Las entradas salen a la venta mañana. http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/07/25/thumb/e003dh10.jpg Hace dos años pisó suelo argentino, pero sólo pudieron verlo de cerca unos 200 invitados (miembros de su club de fans). El resto, tuvo que conformarse con la tele, en una presentación en Videomatch, por Telefé. Ahora, Robbie Williams anuncia su nueva visita a la Argentina para el 14 y 15 de octubre, en el Estadio de River. Williams llegará para presentar su giraEncuentros cercanos, que ya lo hizo dar vueltas por Europa, rompiendo un nuevo récord: en un sólo dÃa de su gira vendió más de un millón y medio de entradas. Y con un poco de escándalo, por su nuevo video Pecado, pecado, pecado. Las entradas para las actuaciones de Robbie en la Argentina estarán a la venta desde mañana y hasta el 31 de julio, exclusivamente a través de www.robbiewilliams.com. Y a partir del 31, por ticketek.com.ar. Los precios van desde $36 hasta $240. Con 20 temas en el primer puesto de ventas en Inglaterra, decenas de premios, Williams está acostumbrado a los récords, que a esta altura ya lo convirtieron en un verdadero fenómeno popular, en varios paÃses del mundo. Hasta ahora, Robbie vendió más de 60.000.000 millones de discos alrededor del mundo y unas 500.000 copias en la Argentina. Algunos de sus temas más famosos son Angels, Rock DJ, Feel, Let me Entertain You, Supreme, No Regrets, Strong, Kids (a dúo con Kylie Minogue), Road to Mandalay y Something Stupid, el hit que alguna vez entonó Frank Sinatra junto a su hija Nancy y que Robbie se animó a resucitar, con una partenaire muy especial: la actriz Nicole Kidman. Declarado fanático del fútbol, Williams confesó alguna vez su admiración por Diego Maradona, a quien considera el mejor jugador de la historia. Y cuando estuvo en el paÃs quiso ir a ver un partido a una cancha local, aunque por los tiempos, no pudo concretarlo. Acostumbrado a los escándalos sobre su persona, sus videos y sus shows, a Williams se le atribuyeron decenas de romances con mujeres famosas con la misma naturalidad con que se lo tildó de homosexual, cosa que salió a desmentir su vocero. Sin pelos en la lengua, sobre el presidente norteamericano George Bush, dijo que era un "idiota". Y por otro lado, tomó el té con el premier británico Tony Blair, para colaborar en una causa benéfica. Ahora, sus admiradores podrán escucharlo y verlo, bien de cerca. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Translation (summarized, as it's too long): "Robbie Williams in Argentina". The British singer had been in Argentina in 2004, but he only performed in an intimate show and another on TV. The tickets for his new show will be available tomorrow. Two years ago he landed on Argentinian ground, but only around 200 people (members of his fan club) could see his show. Now, Robbie announces his visit to Argentina on October 14th and 15th, at the River Plate Stadium. Williams will come to present his "Close Encounters Tour", which made him travel accross Europe breaking a new record: in just one day, a million and a half tickets were sold. And also, some scandal surrounded his latest video "Sin Sin Sin". Tickets' pre-sale will be available from tomorrow until July 31st through his website www.robbiewilliams.com. Prices for the tickets are from $36 to $240. So far, Robbie has sold 60 millions of records world-wide, including 500,000 in Argentina. His most famous songs are, amongst others, Angels, Rock DJ, Let Me Entertain You, Supreme, No Regrets, Strong, Kids (duet with Kylie Minogue), The Road To Mandalay and Something Stupid, a song once made famous by Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy, and which Robbie sings with a very special partenaire: actress Nicole Kidman. Considered himself a big football fan, when Williams visited Argentina, he confessed his admiration for Diego Maradona, who he considers as the biggest player in the history of football.
