I went ahead and bought tickets for the March 25th show in Clearwater, FL. Have seen the girls there before a couple of times; mostly via PBS tickets.
So, since I am not a member of the venue, I couldn't buy tickets until Friday. I was able to get tickets in Row J. Most of the closer seats required you to become a member, with, of course, an additional fee. I the tickets (2) were $92 each.
As I was checking out, I had the option to purchase a M&G. OK, what the heck. Paragraph of you get a photo, opportunity to talk the the girls (not holding my breath), etc. They wanted $100 a person.
So after you add State Sales Tax, "Tourist" Tax, and a Service Charge, 2 tickets with M&G cost me just under $450! I've paid this much in the past, but it was for better seats, plus I could sometimes get a tax credit for a donation to PBS.
In the past I have gone to 10 to 12 shows a year. I know this is a short tour right now, so we shall see how I feel after seeing this show.
10-12 shows a year?! I admire your dedication. I should probably get started on nagging my mother for tickets (half joking on the nagging part, don’t worry 😭)…she seemed pretty excited when I told her about the Myrtle Beach concert, so hopefully she can get tickets for us as an early Christmas gift or something. How do you become a member of a venue?

Do you know or get the feeling if they will add a second leg to the tour (e.g. May or Fall)?
It’s possible that they might do this Spring tour in North America and go international in Autumn.
The Spring Tour is relatively short. Doing a Fall international tour does sound reasonable. I think they haven't toured Europe in a long time, and a lot of fans there have been asking about it.
@CWazyTom: Thanks for updating the Calendar!
I hope they do go international and release a long album along with it. Celtic Woman in the past few years (really since COVID, I feel) has been more low-key, only touring in North America and releasing fewer, shorter albums. The title of “A New Era” gives me hope that we’re going back to the grandiose Celtic Woman days, like in the David Downes era.

I've seen this graphic floating around with all the tour dates that we currently know of. They mention a 45-city tour, but list in the graphic only 43 shows and 42 cities (there are two shows in Lancaster, PA). So I'm not sure what's going on there, if 45 is a typo, or if there are 3 more shows to come.

It's almost certainly hosted by a third party. The hardware of the hosting company is probably fine. However, the server software and likely its database have been neglected for years.
Did anyone have any luck backing up the old content? I don't imagine it would be easy as we'd likely hit the hosters caps and throttling limits at the very least.

The tour dates so far are up on the Celtic Woman site now. They added a few more shows (including even more Canada shows).
I count 43 total so far:
- 16 in Canada
- 27 in the US
Not much in May yet, so there's a possibility they'll add more. I don't know one way or the other at the moment.
I think I got all the known dates so far in the calendar. They could use an audit though.
