KET in Kentucky last year was charging $250 for a 2 front row tickets and a $1000 for 2 front row tickets plus a meet and greet.What do other states charge?
It varies by city. FL has tons of different prices. Last year, Tallahassee was $365 for 2 tickets and M&G, Orlando was $750 for two tickets and M&G but I heard they lowered it to $600 because no one was buying (I wonder why  ) and I know Jacksonville had M&G but I don't remember what the cost was because I didn't attend. It really does vary quite a bit, and even changes year to year. …and as we’ve discussed in the past (and I found out from experience) getting M&G tickets thru PBS doesn’t necessarily mean sitting in the first few rows for the show, especially at a venue that reserves the front section for its members, or its own ticket distribution system. At 3 CW shows I went to this year the best seats could only be obtained thru the venue ticket office or special sales channel, not PBS. GeorgeN Very true, although with Tallahassee this year they guaranteed front row to their pledges, which was nice. You are right, though, there are no guarantees, and that's just kind of the sacrifice you make when you decide you want to go for the M&G passes. Other than Tallahassee, the only other front row ticket I had this Spring was in West Palm Beach, and since there was no M&G there, I obtained my ticket through Ticketmaster. Cheapest ticket I bought all year and pretty much the best seat, LOL.  That said, when there is M&G I don't mind pledging with PBS and I also don't mind being back a few rows (note that I said a FEW not a LOT lol) if that means I will have M&G after the show. Also, I think all of us at ForumFest last year remember how the pit in Chicago was practically on the stage, LOL, so whether you were sitting front row or third row you were ridiculously close! Anyway, to get back on topic, if anyone's interested I heard from Orlando PBS (WMFE) yesterday and they said they have no information yet about when they are airing the show and if they will be offering tickets, but that they've offered them in the past (which I already knew because I've pledged with them before ) and to check back in early-mid November. I also e-mailed Jacksonville PBS and I'm waiting to hear from them! |

They probably haven't finalized the schedule yet as someone earlier has mentioned with their PBS station. You can try contacting them to see if and when they'll be airing it or you can just wait until the schedule comes out.  My station didn't post their schedule until very recently, so it's only a matter of time before you find out. |

My local stations are telling me to check back in early-mid November, so you might want to try that. If you've already contacted them and asked, then it's probably that they don't actually HAVE any info yet because they're still finalizing everything, like TheWhite~Rose said. |

Just heard from GBP here in Georgia, and they said that "Celtic Woman Greatest Journey Holiday Special is scheduled Sunday 11-28-10 at 7:00 PM." And to check back in early to mid November about the pledge gifts.

That's good news. Thanks for the heads up. |

FYI for those of you in Jacksonville, FL.
WJCT in Jacksonville has "The Greatest Journey - Holiday Special" now on their schedule for the following dates:
12/1/2010, 8pm
12/5/2010, 9pm
12/10/2010, 9:30pm
No idea if they will be accepting pledges, but if I had to take a wild guess I'd say probably so given the dates. I'm going to try to get in contact with them after November 1 and see what they say.

for people in the Twin Cities, they're showing Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration on November 29th at 8 PM and December 4th at 9 PM.
i have no idea if they're just showing it because by then Christmas would be coming up or if they're taking pledges.
