Not sure it's about being tight, it's more likely that it's a raffle with no guarantee of winning a seat.

So do a family of 2 adults & 2 children all have to have a ticket to enter if so that's £40? 

 

Or is it one ticket per cabin and if drawn all 4 get to go? 

I think happy V had the right description.

Is this the start of something new, paying for celebrity entertainment in the main theatres???

 

With around 5200 guests onboard there is a fair chance there'll be a lot of disappointment.

No it's not. It's a special event.

I think that comes down to which way it is sold.

 

Individual tickets or per cabin?

 

Perhaps Happy V can enlighten us with previous experience on the matter.

So to recap ,this event is a raffle and sold as such for a good cause .

The prize is Gary in concert at a cost of £10pp .

I wonder how much more it would cost if he was at one of UK's arenas 🤔

Don't think it would be a tenner !

If folk want to see him and are lucky to be drawn then great !

End of the day it is what it is a raffle ,some win and  some don't .

As you say it's a special event .🙂

Ok, If a group wants to apply together. All cabin nos. and guests have to be entered on the application form. Everyone has to pay £10. So for six £60, but you would have six chances of getting a ticket.

Thanks for confirming.

 

It certainly does sound like a bit of a lottery and favours larger groups.

I've paid £150 to see him and his mates at St Mary's this summer!

Exactly !  So to any fan wanting a "CHANCE" to see him for a tenner .

I very much doubt anyone would book a cruise on the off "chance" of seeing him for a tenner though, would they?

Not a fan myself as I'm obviously to young 😁, but I'm reliably informed they put on a spectacular show, so hope you enjoy.

Second thoughts. Gary can stay at home. No performance. No raffle. No money to the charity, but no wingeing about £10.

You may be wrong there. I was looking forward to the new ship which wasn't going to be full or school holidays. Within two days of it being announced the cruise was fully booked.

Well I'll be damned, imagine that, spending a few grand on a cruise just on the off chance that we could see Gary Barlow for a tenner 🤔

 

I think I'd rather do what @Megabear2 done, spend £150 with a guarantee of seeing him.

As the saying goes "there's nowt so queer as folk" 

Probably people who were going to book but couldn't decide which cruise
