and once again Russia has delayed Eurovision tix.
They are now saying mid-March for payment.

I might just ask to pick them up on arrival in Moscow, because I probably wont receive them in time here.

Who starts selling tix just 1.5 months before a MASSIVE European event which they have known was going to happen, when and where, for a year?

At the moment I think a lot of fans have decided not to go because they were told accommodation problems would be sorted out (and they haven't - no-one has heard back from the Russian fanclub about hotel bookings - its been 7 weeks) and without having guaranteed accommodation and guaranteed tix only 1.5 months before the event, I think I'd cut my losses.

Thankfully I'm in a better situation. I have my accommodation.

I'm off to the Russian consulate next Monday morning to organise my visa. The 3rd last thing I have to do/pay for (the other 2 being the Eurovision ticket being paid for and booking my Edinburgh to London train).

63 days till I leave for Moscow. 9 weeks.
