2. Genesis: European Fan-Meeting feat. Ray Wilson live - Braunschweig, Germany

Genesis will play nine of the 22 european concerts in Germany. It is likely that a lot of fans from other countries will be in Germany during the tour. The Fan-Meeting will take place on friday, 22nd June 2007 in the Irish Pub "The Wild Geese" in Braunschweig (which is close to Hannover, where Genesis will perform one day later), starting at 5 pm local time (1700 hrs). There will be a special guest who will entertain us:

Ray Wilson - Live By Request
He was our special guest for the RayVent in Welkers back in 2004, now he comes solo and performs a Live By Request / Storytellers-Acoustic-Show at the european Fan-Meeting - like a warm-up for the Genesis show in the AWD-Arena Hannover on the following day. Ray will take requests and will tell a lot of stories. The whole meeting will take place in a relaxed atmosphere - the Irish Pub is ours on that day between 5 and 10pm. So you will have the chance to meet other european fans and meet a former member of Genesis, who will perform a couple of songs that Genesis surely won't do during the tour.

Tickets
The space in the pub is - of course - limited, so there will be 150 tickets, ticket price is 15 EUR each. For members / newsletter-subscribers of the german Genesis Fanclub it (and genesis-news.com), DUSK and The Waiting Room, we offer a special pre-sale - and this service is - as always - for free!
Before the Fan-Meeting will be advertised on our homepages, our members and newsletter-subscribers will have the chance to buy their ticket(s) - the same applies for members of Dusk and The Waiting Room. Tickets can be ordered on Saturday, 17th March 2007, 20:00 Uhr (8 pm CET), at this link: http://www.genesis-news.com/itintern...ouncement.html
(The Ticket Order Form will be available on saturday, 17th March at 8pm CET to offer all fans the same chance to order tickets)
After the morning of the 20th March, all website visitors will then have the chance to buy tickets - if there are some tickes left! Note: It will only be this one date!

Soundcheck-Special for the Hannover Show...?
At this moment we are also working on a special for the Hannover concert. If everything goes as planned, a number of people who come to the Fan-Meeting will get the chance to attend the Genesis-soundcheck in Hannover. Please note that we cannot guarantee anything at this point and in case it will happen, it is a bonus!
IMPORTANT: In case the soundcheck special will happen, only ticket-holders of the Fan-Meeting will have the chance to attend!

More information about the event, the city and the venue is available at
http://www.genesis-news.com/itintern...ouncement.html
This site will be updated with more information soon!
