Please Note: While Andre has announced he will be back, these places are still in negotiations. We will announce additions and changes as received.
If anyone hears of any prices for a venue, please notify us and we will add the prices on this page.
Everyone can contact their local PBS for information on Andre Rieu Concerts. This is what we did. PBS welcomes pledges from everyone. There is no one person who is the keeper of this information. Everyone can contact and receive information regarding Andre Rieu and Membership Levels & Thank You Gifts.

Hi all,
The concert on May 21 2009 in Manchester is at the Verizon wireless arena at 8 pm and the first 3 rows are 700 a pair they include a meet and greet dinner (Andre does not go to this) and a DVD and CD.
Rows 4-12 is 480 per pair and includes a DVD. Rows 13-34 are 300 per pair and include a CD the rest of the seating is 250 a Pair. That’s the scoop on the concert. I can tell you this information with confidence because I bought my tickets 3 or 4 weeks ago I was the first to call!! Thanks
-Jeff
The pricing for Manchester was completely changed a while ago. The first four rows still are $700. The rest of the floor seats are $380. Anyone who paid $480 is being refunded $100 to his/her credit card. They have already called me that they did mine. From row 12 back was $350 but now is $380. I know someone who paid $350 under the old plan. She will now pay $380 but will keep her place in line so will probably be moved up quite a few rows as they are still assigning seats in the order of receipt of the call. The story we got was that NH PBS started selling tickets at those outrageous prices and Andre vetoed it. Supposedly he made the comment that his FANS should be the ones to be able to sit nearer the front and lowered the prices. The woman I spoke with said they started selling tickets and then Andre came back with a whole new contract. Whether the first one was ever signed I don't know.
Thank you Virginia. I will update the concert page with the new prices.
Hi Jeanine. The correct prices for New Hampshire are $380 for the floor and $350 for the tiers. The whole floor is now $380. They eliminated all the other price gradations. So in effect rows 4 -13 got a price reduction and the others got a price increase.
This is fantastic Jeanine Ann. Thanks for the information. You can count me in for Canada! Three cheers for Andre and the JSO. They know how to put on a great concert and make people feel wonderful about the world.
Thanks again Jeanine Ann for the info. You are awesome.
Love Much
Grace

No price information yet, but the Sacramento concert will be June 17 at the Arco Arena. No pre-sales for this one. Pledging begins at 6 pm on Saturday, Sept. 6. The phone number to pledge is 1-800-270-6601. I'm still waiting to hear more from Fresno, but they are in negotiations and he will be there in June. In the past it's been the night after Sacramento.
Oh Jeanine Ann, you will be on Cloud 9 in the first row!! I'm just hoping I can get in the first 10 rows in either Sacramento or Fresno. I may need to get a second job to support my Andre habit!
Thank You Kay! It will be nice to see Andre in June this time around.
I would like to thank Kay and Jeff and all who have contributed to help put the 2009 USA concert schedule together. I have been calling PBS and checking PBS websites but most are still negotiating. I listed those who are negotiating because Andre has indicated a return to those venues. Nothing is firm until we get dates. If you hear anything please let us know and we will see it gets posted. Working together gets the word out to everyone. Thanks so much.
I thank them too.
Yes, thanks Kay & Jeff & all for the concert schedule. How do you get the PBS phone numbers. I want to go to the Reading Pa. concert in April but can't find a phone no nor have I been able to get the website for PBS in Reading, Pa. Maybe you can help
Hello Marguerite, so nice to hear from you. The PBS Station for Reading is PBS 39 in Bethlehem, Pa. The phone number is (610) 984-8113. I don't think they are taking pledges but I would call and ask them. If you need any more help please get back to us. The concert April 27, 2009. Hugs to you
Thanks ever so much for the phone no.for PBS in Pa.
Since you have been to Sovereign center, My hubby 79 had knee replacements. Are the floor seats, chairs or fixed seating? Which seats do you think better for him? This is why I want to get seats asap for his comfort. Is the stage high enough that you can see Andre & JSO from any seat on the floor or should I go up a tier?
Thanks in advance for your answer. Best Regards, Marguerite
Hi Marguerite, when you enter the Sovereign Center there is a big flight of stairs and I would not recommend that for your husband. I am sure they have a special needs access to the floor section. Once you get up these stairs to the main floor you must walk down all the stairs in the area to get to the floor again. I would say the floor section would be best. If he uses a wheelchair they will show you where to go to get to your seats. The seats are just chairs but they may be bolted together. These are the things you don't really notice unless you need them. We have been to so many different venues that it is hard to remember but this will be our third time to the Sovereign Center.
When you call for your tickets mention your needs to the person taking the call. They may have a special needs section that I am not aware of. No matter where you are on the floor you will be able to see the stage. The closer the better of course. There is a parking lot across the street from the venue and there is a garage one block behind Penn Ave. off of Court Street. If you arrive about 6:30 you should be able to easily park across the street. If you are having dinner in the vicinity I would get there much earlier. If you have any more questions please post again. Hugs
Thank you Jeanine Ann for posting these dates. Tacoma is closer to me than Seattle. I'm so happy right now that he is coming to the Northwest!!
If anyone out there can add some nice, happy fireworks to this message, I would appreciate it!
Hi Marlene,
These are about the happiest fireworks I could find. Check your post.
PERFECT!!!!!!
Thanks.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me that Andre will back in Sacramento next June. I can't wait to tell all of my friends. Toni
Won't that be great Toni? I'm glad to know he will be back in the Bay Area too. Jeanine Ann called, sent emails and checked so many websites to bring us information.
I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ONE CONCERT DATE IN JUNE, JUST CANNOT SEE, THAT ANDRE FROM THE WEST COAST OF THE US WILL BE UP IN ONTARIO CANADA, MAYBE ONTARIO CALIFORNIA?? THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE BETTER TO ME. KATI
Yes Kati you are right, that is just a typo. I even had the web site for KVCR right in front of me and I type in Canada instead of Calif. They have one of my favorite photos of Andre to advertise the concert which is June 20. Thanks for being so alert. Hugs
Hey Jeanine Ann, May I please have your weathergirl email address agian i got a new hard driv and lost all of my info. I want to tell you what happened with me and NHPTV. thanks!
-Jeff
Sure Jeff, I am emailing it to you now. Take care
