[georly]

Thank you! We were going to drive 2+ hours to get to it, but one of those is 20 minutes away from me, so I'll be going there. Thanks for letting me know!

Grand Rapids!? Oh my God! Yes!

 

[Brazil]

One of these days

 

[Magwik]

Grand Rapids!? Oh my God! Yes!

None of this shit comes to Michigan. Glad they have both sides of the state covered. :')

 

[entremet]

No event Pokemon?

 

[JoeM86]

A European tour is scheduled for spring 2016, with additional venue and location details coming soon.

I'm happy now

 

[maxcriden]

06/14/2015 - 8:00 p.m. - Shea's Performing Arts Center - Buffalo, NY

That's kinda awesome and unexpected (my hometown). I wonder if any Buffalo GAFers will go. Paging CrankyJay.

Have there been any Nintendo symphonic events in Buffalo before?

 

[Exterminieren]

I'm happy now

If we can get a date at the Royal Albert Hall, I'll be delighted.

 

[JCX]

None of this shit comes to Michigan. Glad they have both sides of the state covered. :')

Didn't even catch that it will be in Detroit. Glanced right past it.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Please tell me they plan a CD/iTunes release for this!

The one in Buffalo is 45 minutes away, but it's on a freaking Tuesday night. What the heck Pokemon Company?

 

[JoeM86]

Also worth noting the one in Boston is at the same weekend as the Pokémon World Championships 2015 which is also in Boston

If we can get a date at the Royal Albert Hall, I'll be delighted.

Agreed, though I'm honestly expecting it to be in the same place and weekend as the UK Nationals next year. It makes more sense.

 

[emb]

Still about 5 hours at the best location for me. I think I'll pass.

I did make the 6 hour trip for Zelda though. I'm sure this will be amazing too, but I guess I'm just not really feeling it.

 

[MillionVolts]

09/11/2015 - 8:00 p.m. - Fox Theatre - Detroit, MI
02/05/2016 - 8:00 p.m. - DeVos Performance Hall - Grand Rapids, MI

See you at these times, Symphonic Evolution! Can't wait. ^^

 

[Tenki]

Ctrl + F: "Spain"

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Man, I'm so tempted to go to the Houston dates.

 

[Brofield]

Toronto? I'm there. Sony Performing Arts Centre was a great venue for the Zelda Symphony Orchestra and I'm even more hyped for this one.

I'll be the idiot wearing a Pikachu hat and shouting "PIKA-PI" in my gruffest, manliest voice.

 

[Matt Attack]

Oh man, I might consider trying to go to the one in Clearwater. Super convenient location for me.

 

[jokkir]

Toronto, eh?

I'm still not sure if this will be anywhere as good as the Zelda one though so I'll hold off buying tickets

 

[lazybones18]

coming to Detroit? color me surprised. Take that, Zelda Symphony!

 

[ispendtoomuchmoneyongames]

That Boston date looks real tasty. Blue Hills Bank Pavilion is like a 6000 or so seat amphitheater on the ocean under a tent. It's gorgeous, perfect for a nice summer day.

 

[RAWi]

10/25/2015 - 8:00 p.m. - Monterrey Arena - Monterrey, Mexico

YAY! Seems like Zelda's Concert went pretty well for them to be coming here! This will be sooo good.

 

[Koppai]

Hells yeah, 2 days for Houston

 

[Magwik]

coming to Detroit? color me surprised. Take that, Zelda Symphony!

I want Zelda more than this, but I will have to settle

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Might have to go to the Chicago one.

 

[Tom Nook]

Is the one in San Jose, CA sold out? There no ticket link to that city.

 

[Necrovex]

I shouldn't be surprised by the lack of South Africa, but I was still hoping nevertheless. :-(

 

[JoeM86]

Is the one in San Jose, CA sold out? There no ticket link to that city.

Booking probably not open yet.

 

[Shizuka]

latin america was robbed (besides mexico)

Word.

 

[cafemomo]

Who is going to be the composer/arranger?

 

[L~A]

I'd love a paid live like the one for the Zelda concert in Japan, in February. Now that was fantastic.

 

[Mr. Jimmy]

Monterrey I'll be there

 

[Syntsui]

Wow, can't wait for them to come to São Paulo, Brazil!

Spoiler

):

 

[Portalbox]

Mexico, yusss.

Slowly but surely we've been getting some of the 'biggest' VG concerts here... FF: Distant Worlds, Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, Video Games live and now Pokemon <3

 

[SalvaPot]

The San Diego site is listing it at "not for sale" =(

 

[Rapscallion]

I'll probably get tickets for the San Jose show.

Seems like they go on sale this weekend.

 

[JoeM86]

The San Diego site is listing it at "not for sale" =(

Give it time

 

[PAULINK]

houston is a three hour drive, not worth it. If it were austin you would have had me.

 

[Esque7]

Just like the Zelda symphony, can't make any dates. The North American leg is while I'm in Europe, and the European part while I'm in the states. DAMMIT

 

[Koppai]

My best friends boyfriend just bought 4 tickets for them and me and my boyfriend to go on July 26th!

I told him to pick the cheap tickets that are $35 each, he chose expensive ones. <_<;

I spent $70 on the Zelda concert and didn't go, definitely will go to this

 

[manzoman96]

erg I wish they were coming to Philly again. Missed the last time they were here

 

[Koppai]

No event Pokemon?

Missed opportunity to distribute meloetta again lol.

 

[Mesoian]

Oooh, Blue Hills Pavilion. That means I can get a FLAGOON of wine!

Maybe.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Damn! come to Utah.

 

[AnkiRendan]

FINALLY, Toronto! I'm so there!

Should I be worried about how quickly it will sell out?

 

[SolarKnight]

*control+F Mexico*

Yaaaaaaaa-

10/23/2015 - 8:00 p.m. - Auditorio Nacional - Mexico City, Mexico
10/25/2015 - 8:00 p.m. - Monterrey Arena - Monterrey, Mexico

Oh, not my city...*sigh* honestly I can't even blame them after the Zelda concert where they had to resort to giving out two tickets for the price of one the days before the concert because of low sales and EVEN THEN the place was only half full at best :|

 

[The Lamp]

How much are tickets?

 

[Jotamide]

Yes, in for Vancouver!

 

[JoeM86]

How much are tickets?

Varies depending on venue, seat etc.
