If alizee does a future concert tour...

[Deus_Ex]

If alizee conducts future concert tours, then i would definitely be going. However, I would end up going by myself because I don't know any alizee fans in real life.

So, who here would be in favor of grouping together as Alizee America on her concert tours?

[Cooney]

I'd certainly be willing to do so, yes. I'll be going come hell or highwater, and if other Alizée Amérique folks are going as well... may as well team up and get noticed! I'm sure we could have a group and a banner as worthy of a wave as any!

[Calisto]

Yeah I have the same feelings as Cooney. As i've said before, I have money in savings just waiting for the next concert.

I've been in awe of every live performance I've ever seen of hers (especially En Concert) but I discovered them 2-3 years after they actually happened. There is no way I will miss a chance to actually be a part of one live.

So of course I'd be willing to go with the friends I've met here. :)

[Deus_Ex]

it's good to see that lots of people are interested in going. but i was wondering, how much is everyone planning to save? (hopefully, we won't have to sleep in sleeping bags at a public park:eek: )

[SilentFox]

well i am planning on going if she does have another concert. just need to know when and where so i can get there!

[saiman]

Count me in !!!!! :)

[RadioactiveMan]

I wouldn't take issue with doing that. I can't afford a thousand dollar ticket let alone accommodations on top of it. :blink:

[aditya8617]

I doubt if I will be able to go to any of her concert tour for next 3 years. If she comes to US for one then I will definitely consider it otherwise it will have to wait.

[blueskyy]

*jumps on next plane to France* :D

[nurvonic]

of course. i'd keep away from RAM though..

[RadioactiveMan]

You'd be punishing yourself if you did.

[CFHollister]

Count me in! We should get all the locals together, take one of the Air France Seatlle/Paris direct flights and see if we could get on a flight crewed by Bertrand's brother;)

[B_M_E]

yeah I'd do it, I could also bring some of my friends who are also fans of Alizée.

[SwedishFan]

Hey count me in on this one,just let me know when and where,we´ll go as a group for sure...

[Edcognito]

ya same here. I cant fly all the way to france lol im only 14 lol but if she does come to america ill go!!

If your only 14, why does your info at the top right list you as 21? :eek:

Just wondering....... :D


Ed:cool:

Come hell or high water, blown out windows or destroyed cars. I have the means to get 2 or 3 grand for flight/accommodations. I would rent a double room, at least (i snore) so some peeps might be able to "crash" out, without having to resort to a public park!

Toulouse, Nice, Marseilles, Paris, wherever, whenever! Alizée Army America! Might even spend a little extra and get a bomber jacket with the Alizee Army logo on the back!

I can just hear my wife and kids laughing now . . . . "FRANCE? Your flying to France for a concert????" My answer "yep"..... :p :D :wub: :eek: :cool: :blink:

[RadioactiveMan]

Why would you tell them you're going to France?

"Honey, I'm going to get some milk! See you in a few days."

Works every time.

Well, live has a way of screwing with you. For the last 7 years I had a pretty stable job where I could have fairly easily taken time off and certainly the last few years, had plenty of money for such a thing and not much of anything to prevent me from going. Now, who knows. I'm considering different things including going to school full time, but it's hard to imagine after getting so worked up about her over the last 9 months or whatever that I wouldn't go to her concert. Also, whatever I do (other than spending all my money buying a new house in Corsica or something :p) if it's within the next year or so, I'm sure I'll still have however much money it costs (even if not the budget for it).
Of course, you're question is probably trying to illicit some idea of how much money it would actually cost. So, people who have made similar trips, do you have an idea?
I'm guessing around $3 thousand. My airfaire alone to New Delhi cost me $1400 (actually flew over a cloudy Paris on the way to Munich). So, what, three days min., airfaire, hotel, food, souvenirs, secure transportation of huge souvenirs, like a billboard advertising the concert, which can't be taken on a plane (ok, maybe that doesn't count), bail money for that one guy who inexplicably ends up in the clink (ok, hopefully not that either, and he'd probably have to stay anyway), ...

I'm probably going to India (gujarat) for about 10 days within a week with my dad. I've still got to buy the tickets for it and i've convinced my dad to make a stop for a few days in europe. i'm expecting the cost of tickets to gujarat, India to be around $1400 per ticket. As for all of the other expenses, it'll probably be around a couple of lakh (one lakh=100,000) rupees.

if i go for a concert tour, i'd probably save around $500/day plus the cost of tickets.

and just in case, i've got my credit card to bail me out.

btw, are you of indian origin?

edit: if anyone wants to make a lot of money, then invest in land/real estate in Gujarat, India. buying land near the outskirts of a small city has a lot of potential to increase in value. (ie, my dad bought a piece of real estate for around $12,000 and sold it for $75,000 because of its increase in land value). the value of land in that particular area reach upwards of $1.5 million per acre.

Probably close, though I would bet you could do better than $1400 to Paris with enough lead time and the right travel agent (a France-specializing consolidator); depends a lot on the time of year too.

[rcs]

I'll fly up to Seattle if you guys get the hook-up with Bertrand. Ah hell, I'd fly up there anyway. Who will speak French for me? I need someone to translate in case Lili asks me a question, lol:p

[ZachLovesAlizée]

yeah, i need a translator too
but, i think if lili came close enough to ask a question, id faint

[Edcognito]

Works every time.

ROFL!

Yeah, and find my clothes, dogs, guns, and computer in the front yard (not so hard on the dog, but come on!) when i got home? I don't think so!

Besides, I love my wife, why would i deny her the chance at a little humor? I mean, she's married to ME! :eek:

I would need translating services too! :)

Ed:cool:

[Sir Wood]

Yes, if scheduling permits. :/

[B_M_E]

hah, If I do come then you guys won't have any problems cuz I will translate everything for you, I'm a native French speaker =) but yeah, I'm more than willing to go to her concert as a group.

[rcs]

Ah, great then. Ed won't have to fly all the way to Washington state. You can fly up to New York and meet up with Ed. I'm assuming that you are currently in Virginia though.

[ZachLovesAlizée]

i need to learn french...

[lowbeam]

i need to learn french...

Don't we all :) , I'm trying to learn but it's hard to teach an old brain new tricks.

[Edcognito]

Heheheh - We'll all meet in Paris - hella with flying to Washington to fly to France! Besides - Next August i'm flying to Washington state anyway for the next B-Day Party!


Ed:cool:

[Capn]

all meet in paris huh wouldn't it be easier to meet up somewhere where everyone speaks the same language

[Edcognito]

Ok - We all meet up at JFK airport for the flight to Paris (or where ever it ends up being)....

We could ROCK that plane all the way across the atlantic! :)


Ed:cool:

[painbringer]

only 1 no [:(

[fsquared]

There are a bunch of different airports with flights to France. It would make a lot more sense to meet in Paris unless people were all coming from close enough to (say) JFK that they were all going to take the same flight.

Actually Schiphol airport in Amsterdam has a place called the "meeting point" for people to say where to meet.

There are presumably plenty of similar places one could designate in Paris.

It would be fun to rock the flight over though :).

[Cooney]

Indeed, I would think it best to meet in Paris. An airport is an airport is an airport, and they're not too hard to find your way around in if you just keep your eyes glued to the signs. Any big airport, especially in a tourist place like Paris, has plenty of pictographic signs, and may well include instructions in foreign languages like English if the pictures aren't enough.

For my own part, I would probably fly direct from Seattle, unless another option were vastly cheaper for some reason (the other options tend to cost the same from here). I would encourage people from elsewhere to fly from whatever airport is their closest, and not worry about trying to get here (or any specific US airport) to meet up first. Save the extra $500-$1000 in airfare for Alizée stuff!

[rcs]

Cool...then it's meet at the airport in Paris, hotel, or some other easy-to-find meeting place.:)

[IOPOP]

Hello I was starting to think Alizee is very big in Mexico they still play her songs on the radio with me living so close to the border it would be great if she came on tour to Mexico. If she did come to Mexico she would have to play Juarez as it is the fourth largest city in the country if that were to happen I could go with no problem cause Juarez and El Paso are next to each other only separated by a river that holds less water than my bathtub. If she did come to Juarez it would be cheaper for a lot of you, how many of you would be willing to see her in Mexico?

[Cooney]

How many of you would be willing to see her in Mexico?

If she was touring Mexico and NOT the USA, I'd might go to a show in Mexico as well as one in France, if the Mexico show were near the border. If she were touring the USA as well as Mexico, I wouldn't go to a Mexico show - I'd stick with the USA and France.

[nurvonic]

lol not feeling too good about mexico cooney?

it would be splendid if she did a show in mexico. i couldnt afford the trip to france, but if she did a show in mexico and not the US, i would definately have to go. if she did a show in the US, even better.

[Capn]

yeah I cant afford a trip to france which is why I fear I will never see her live in person

[Ben]

I've always kinda wanted to visit Mexico, so I'd be there. ;) Well, I think I'd be at any show she does in North America. Can't guarantee every one in Europe, but come hell or high water I'll be at the first, and as many others I can manage. And of course I'd be jazzed to meet you all there! :)

[Cooney]

it would be splendid if she did a show in mexico. i couldnt afford the trip to france, but if she did a show in mexico and not the US, i would definately have to go. if she did a show in the US, even better.

I figure I have a limited number of vacation days available to me, and limited funding.

I want to go to a show in France, so that'll be one of them. I'd like to see her in her native element.

If she does a show in the USA, I'll absolutely go to that. I want to show her America supports her.

If she doesn't do a show in the USA, but does do one in Mexico... ::shrug:: She won't be neglected, there are a great many fans there. If it's near the border, I can make it a day trip from an American border town, and not have to worry about handling lodging, food, and customs in a language I don't know (I don't like being one of those tourists who assumes the natives should speak my language, instead of the other way around). If it's in the interior, it'll be easier for me just to return to France for a second round :-)

[Tye]

I haven't voted, because I don't know. I would love to go, but it really depends on when she does the concert. If it is this coming summer then maybe, but if it is 2-3 years then I could go. It is all about the money I have. I am going to have to save up to move to Paris, and if I spend $3,000 to go see a concert then that will cut into my moving fund. It all depends on when she does it.

[rcs]

It all comes down to timing for me. Just set the dates in motion. I'll be there regardless if she performs on a deserted island or the moon. I'm going period. Can't speak anything but English, but pointing got me through a lot of countries so far.:cool:

lol about the pointing part.

i'm fully fluent in english, hindi, and gujarati.

i took several years of both spanish and french in grade school, so i could easily pick up both of those languages.

[rcs]

DE, I'll buy you your first drink if you go with us. Thx for your services:D

[rwd716]

And then I'll buy u and DE a drink, lol!

That pointing is a staple in all the AF chow halls, lol. Most of the servers are Asian or Latino. My friends always bitch, but I keep tellin em they needa use the universal language of the point, haha.

[rcs]

Just remember that if you point and ask what it is, doesn't matter, you get exactly what you pointed at:p

[marik]

yup! vote for yes! ofcourse! why not? i would love to see Alizée performing in world! meaning to say in all Countries! :)

[RadioactiveMan]

yup! vote for yes! ofcourse! why not? i would love to see Alizée performing in world! meaning to say in all Countries! :)

Well, it would be cool to meet up with as many people as possible at each point in the journey, like at the airport in USA. But then, make a particular effort to have everyone meet (like a convention) in some particular place in Paris or what ever city the concert is in. Don't we have any travel agents as fans? Considering her record company won't even sell us her music, it's not looking good for non-French concerts. Of course that may change soon. It's just annoying how they left us out.

btw, are you of indian origin?
No. I'll PM.
