My local PBS station ran Ancient Land a couple weeks ago. They were offering a pair of tickets in the back of the Orchestra for $225. Front of Orchestra (not front row) was $400. I bought a pair in 2nd row for $110 each.
The only reason I was buying from PBS was for a M&G, and that was getting kind of lame. While completely understandable, I assume we may never get M&G opportunities again.

I have to say Believe, mainly because I was in Atlanta for both nights. I also think this was the first show that used The Parting Glass as the finale. The mass bagpipes, confetti cannons, etc was kind of impressive!

Céad míle fáilte is used in Chloe's song, The Gathering. She tries to teach the audience how to say it so we can sing along with the chorus of the song.

I'm old enough that I just buy the DVDs. It seems like every time I want to watch something via Prime, etc. all I seem to get is a message of low bandwidth.

So last night (Monday), I noticed my local PBS station was playing the Ancient Land show. Didn't know it was pledge week, but what the heck, watch it anyway. Maybe they have a good deal on tickets for the upcoming tour. (I already have tickets, but you never know).
Anyway, when they cut away to the pledge section, it was a recorded spiel for CELTIC THUNDER! Hope you are enjoying the show; the guys will be here in a couple months, etc.

I gotta say my all time CW favorite is You Raise Me Up. Specifically the version done at Red Rocks. Its one of the few times I have heard them do the second verse. You are outside in the mountains under stars and they sing "sometimes I think I glimpse eternity". You do.

I always thought Mo Ghile Mear was a great "closing" number. On New Journey, it ended the first half. For people who heard it the first time, the big hits on the drums tended to make them jump. It was what I always thought of a a "big" number. I wasn't as excited about the new arrangement.

I'll whole-heartedly agree with your comment about Chloe's "speech" at the December show from the Red Clay Foundry. I was one of the few able to be there in person (hey, what's an 8 hour drive both ways to see Chloe). I've seen a lot of her shows and a lot of CW shows. That was one of the best.

I think the Believe tour included Susan.
Going off some vague notes, I went to the show at RCMH, then Syracuse, then Albany (OK, I had lots of frequent flyer miles). I had a M&G in Albany with Lisa and Susan. This was when you actually had a minute or so to talk to them. I asked Susan if she was nervous about doing a Broadway tribute at RCMH. She said she never thought about it -- she was more nervous that that show was the first CW show her parents were seeing live!

Back in 2020 I believe Chloe had maybe 4 conflicts. Remember, back in 2019, she was touring on her own, and had scheduled some things in early 2020 before rejoining CW. I had tickets to one of her solo shows. Because it was only a few shows, that's why Susan came back. Touring with a really young child can be really difficult (ask Lisa!).

So my local PBS station was showing Ancient Land last night as part of their pledge drive. They were offering tickets to Postcards from Ireland, although they didn't use the title. They simply said Celtic Woman concert in March 2022.
What was interesting is they were offering 2 tickets in what they called Rear Orchestra for $200 or Front Orchestra for $400. There was no mention of a M&G and I really didn't expect one. I'd consider the $400 IF they were front row, but the last couple years PBS has not offered that perk.

I've had tickets for St Petersburg, FL for 2020 which was canceled, which rolled over to 2021, which rolled over to 2022. The theatre's website is showing a generic Postcards from Ireland picture. Nothing about who is in the show. In the past, they have used the typical promo photo of the girls.

I tend to believe (and hope) that Chloe will be part of the tour. She did a show in early December 2020 in Atlanta with a Q&A. She said, among other things, that her 2020 year was supposed to be great. She said she had something like 180 shows lined up. She did 12.
My guess is she goes ahead with CW for 2022 while trying to rebuild her individual brand. She was on an upward track as a solo performer. Like everything, it went down the tubes. Performers want to perform! Plus, some need the income!

The money I paid for Daytona Beach for next year did NOT include a M&G. I was at Fort Myers last year and I think I paid $300 for a PAIR of tickets with M&G.
It seems like over the last couple years, the going rate for Orchestra seats was about $100.

So I just bought a couple tickets for the show in Daytona Beach. The CW tour site links to TicketMonster. I paid $166 per ticket for 4th row. I have tickets (from 2 years ago) for the show in St Pete, FL. Those were (and still are) only $85 each.
Anyone else notice a discrepancy in price?
