Appears the Libera squad will be back to the US this Easter holidays - welcome return to the North East following their first tour there in 2008.

The venue attracts favourable reviews on Trip Advisor
...Sound system is good and stage visibility nice...
...There really is not a bad seat in the theatre...
...This is a neat, intimate theater with excellent acoustics...
view from on-stage...

Tickets go on sale to the general public on 21st Feb.. Should expect more dates and official announcement by Libera in due course.

I see on the website if you become a 'fan' of the Theatre (for a mere $150) you get access to buying the tickets a day earlier (looks like it will cost you a $1250 membership to buy two days early). Chicken feed to you hardcore fans :lol:

It seems this concert will be towards the end of the trip. Looking at the school holidays they seem to be taken at the start of April because Easter is late this year. Croyden's run from Mon 7th April and return to school Tues 22nd April (with Monday 21st being a Bank Holiday (aka Public Holidays or Federal Holidays in Yankese).

If they have a full programme of concerts (around the 6 mark give or take) I would expect them to fly out on the weekend of 5/6 April and possibly return home before Easter Sunday on 20th April but that's my speculation of course.

Based on those dates, it might even be the last stop on the tour. Morristown is not that far away from Newark which is a good
gateway airport. Excited about the USA being confirmed, not excited about getting marginal seating for this show.
Hopefully Lauren, John or Yuki will buy multiple seats and share to maximize the benefits of their new MPAC memberships. :lol:

The tickets sales for the Morristown concert will open on the 19/02 for the big donors of the theatre and the 21/02 for the public.

Does it means that Libera need to do its official tour announce before the 19/02 ?

That would be nice, but I could just as easily see an announcement for Morristown only with more dates to come
going up on the website.....

I'm definitely going to try for at least Morristown, but hoping for more concerts. Fortunately, Newark is easy to get to from the downtown Toronto airport. I haven't talked myself into buying a membership (the $150 one) yet to get the earlier ticket purchase window.

Have to figure this is a 5-7 concert package. WIth that in mind, I'll have to tough it out until Friday.
I've been told the first few rows will be beneath the stage anyway. Hope my intel is correct.

Right you are observator!

WIth no official announcement we still don't know what's being planned for certain,
but it does appear my earlier guess of 5-7 shows was too generous.
Also starting to look like everything will be wrapped up in a week's time.

Great opportunity for folks in the Philadelphia/New York City corridor
to take in these concerts. I'm interested in how the show projects in these
theatre venues. The pictures of these places remind me of the
Jersey Opera House.

I've purchased tickets for Red Bank and Morristown, but my best attempt to get into the Philadelphia (Glenside) venue were thwarted. Does anyone know the secret to using the AXS ticketing system?

It is good to see you pop in again Phineas! :)

My tickets were purchased for me so I don't have first hand
experience with AXS, but I tried running through the site
and didn't experience any trouble. Feel free to PM me or post here where
you are getting hung up. It appears the best seat available as I write this
is in row BB.

@ phineaspgage : what issue do you encounter exactly ?

When you are on the Axs libera page, you have to click on the right on the "Select tickets" button,

then you have to select the seats area you want, the number of tickets,

Next step shows you the seats numbers given by the system, you can't choose your exact seats yourserlf,

And the next steps are the payment process.

I get to the scene you have displayed, but when I highlight a section and click "find tickets," I always receive an error: "We could not find any tickets based on your selection. You can try again by changing your event selection, the price level, or the number of tickets."

I see only one price level, and I can only use one ticket. Nonetheless, I have tried different settings and selected most of the sections on one trial or another.

Must I be registered on the site before checking available seating?

Thank you for offering assistance.
