Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

Glad to report that nearly all of the flyers placed in the Guernsey Tourist Office on the sea-front in St Peter Port (by Johan) have gone, they are going to photocopy some more. Also there is a big advert display in the foyer of St James's Hall now too. So by spreading the word more things might ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

A change of plan saw me travelling over to Guernsey this morning on the Condor Vitesse ferry. Imagine my surprise when I noticed a group of extremely familiar boys and their Musical Director, along with Big Ben etc, and one or two other parents, getting on board the very same ship this morning! I ...

Good idea. I have been doing similar on the ground here in the Islands, I got 500 A5 cheap photocopies done and they are almost all gone now. Go for it!

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey


Guernsey
07/08 164 tickets sold (216 still available) 28.5%
08/08 163 tickets sold (217 still available) 28.3%

Wouldn't that be 43.2% and 42.9% correspondingly? :wink:
BTW judging by the similarity of the numbers for each concert, it seems like it's the same people and not really occasional ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

Slightly off topic but Patrick is a really big drinker and loves British style real ale - any decent boozers in St Helier?

Lots of them......same on Guernsey. And you will be amazed how much significantly cheaper booze is in these parts! The pub right next door to the Opera House is one of the ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

No sign of either Ralph or Stefan, yet. Gosh I'm beginning to sound like a stalker!

I think the message from Libera management regarding what to do if fans meet the boys in the street is their way of saying "if the boys are in a public place like a street then there isn't really anything we can ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

Well without giving too many surprises away I can reveal that Josh is here....! As well as most of the well known boys with a few new ones too. Callum is the one departure from the supporting team, presumably replaced by Jonathan Barrington. Quite by chance I spotted the entire entourage in a ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

Just arrived today onto Jersey, and am rather pleased to report that the first thing we saw in St Helier was........?

A group of boys in white robes handing out leaflets about a certain forthcoming concert series!!!!!!

Looks like I was right - they are self-promoting this time - and they all ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

They will however be back in London in time for the Closing Ceremony........! But whether they are involved remains to be seen. Right now they have arrived onto Jersey and are busy presumably rehearsing & sightseeing at the same time. I am sure they will be having a great time. Whether all concerts ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

For Jersey, bus advertising is handled by Julie Littlemore of the Island's Marketing Department...... have had no response to emails I have been sending to her and she hasn't been in when my local contact there has been trying to find her. Headway are sorting out the posters for the Guernsey bus ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

All sorted :D

Certainly, every bus on Guernsey should have a poster installed by the end of this week at the latest. Not sure about Jersey yet! This should attract both locals and tourists alike!

I can see the Guernsey concerts selling more tickets than Jersey at this rate, which is silly given ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

URGENT!

Both bus companies have agreed to place A4 posters on every single bus on the island........... BUT they want the posters supplied.........!

Sadly neither myself nor my relative on the island have the means to be able to print these posters off. Is anyone on here in touch with Libera ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey

Absolutely in agreement, but, it is important for Libera to sell a certain percentage (usually 75%) of seats otherwise financial problems kick in. Bear in mind the cost of flights and accommodating the boys even in a relatively short-hop tour like this one!

It's just that I think the boys would do ...

Re: Summer 2012 Concerts - Jersey and Guernsey


Let's hope those 'whats-on' entertainment leaflets are widely distributed to visiting holiday makers because as this rate, the Opera House could challenge St Wilfrid's Harrogate for Libera's lowest concert turnout. Really hoping for a late surge of ticket buying.

This, I fear, is typical of the ...
