There will be two concerts on Sunday 5th December, one at 17:00, the second at 20:00, as it was in 2020.
The concert are said to have a duration of 1h15 each.

The venue ticket office states: "sales disabled", which I gather means that they haven't started selling tickets yet? Does anyone have any information as to when tickets will go on sale?

The link goes to the past concert: "Libera - 8pm (Dec 2020) / Due to social distancing, ticket holders will be directed to their seats on arrival." So "Sales disabled" does not mean not yet, but not anymore enabled.
Libera likes to fuel the thrill.

The tickets will go on sale this Friday 15 October, at 14:00 UK time.

Merci beaucoup!
It will be an emotional return to the stage for sure. I’m definitely hoping to attend.

No online streaming this time?

[fan_de_LoK]

No info yet about a stream, but perhaps it is just too early to conclude.

They adopted the same model as last year, with two short concerts in the same afternoon. And this will occur in the same venue that succesfully proposed a stream last year.
So if everythings repeats to be the same, the idea of a new stream this year looks plausible.

True, last year the stream was said in the same news that announced the concerts, so it is a bit worrysome it wasn't said this year.
Perhaps they gave news priority to the people who intend to travel, to organize the trip and their tickets. Then other information such as a possible stream may come later. Hopefully.
Let's keep hope, and wait for further news.

What is priority booking? Is that reserved for patrons of SJSS?

I understand that this applies to those who have a "Friend" status (from the website: "Priority booking 2 days in advance of the general public")

It doesn't refer to 'friends' of SJSS, it is for parents only.

Oh, yes, they have changed the wording meanwhile, thanks.

Sadly cannot attend, but the streaming offer and of course the in-depth on the ground reporting by our fellow concert goers will more than make up for it.

Hopefully a full strong crowd will be in attendance.

[Lux Aeterna]

There's no way I could attend, let's hope for a possible spring concert. That's why I was hoping for the streaming .I'm happy that I'll be able to attend it in some way, maybe the songs will be available on Youtube at some point, like the last year's concert. Long live the internet!
