Not forgetting " Man In The Middle ", Bennybjorn. That would be a travesty.

I wonder if the song list will change by the 26th August? I think it will be to early, If I had to bet it would be the end of the year or 26th May next year.

It will be interesting when the set change happens, as that’s when I’d like to go again..
I’d imagine around Christmas time , depending on which tracks they add and delete, HNY would be perfect, but it’s appeal is only for a short time frame to the general public, it would be silly to have it in July along with Little Things...
So for repeat viewings in the hardest part of the year, Winter, that’s when I’d guess....
Wonder how quick they can actually add/ delete a track to the set list.....

This has to be seen. Frida is adorable. I don't know who is saying to Frida, "She's gonna tattoo that so be careful" but I'd have told her to shut up and show some respect! vm.tiktok.com/ZMNrhDVfS/?k=1 |

Lovely to see this. Frida here, and Agnetha, have such class and natural, unforced, charm about them.
A video on YouTube showing Frida as the surprise guest speaker a few tears ago at a gay rights evening (or something like that) brought tears to my eyes because of the fantastic, warm, overwhelming reception to her from the audience. And thoroughly deserved.
And no doubt there are videos of social occasions in which Agnetha has got an equally enthusiastic response.

Read on Twitter that the show stopped half way through and took 1 hour to get running again but without the side screens after the restart.

I've read about it too and I find it alarming that it took them so long to fix it and even then not to a full scale performance. It is a very bad publicity for the show, especially if it should happen again. I can understand the disappointment, especially if you travel from far away to see the show. Even a full refund is not enough - imagine coming from Australia, spending fortunes on airfare and hotel and then such thing happens. The only way to fully compensate is to do an extra show for those unlucky fans, who had tickets for 1st July performance.

I guess with such a technical show, it was going to happen at some point, I am sure behind the scenes, during and since, they will be doing their absolute utmost, working furiously, to avoid more issues. I guess it's not much different to a concert actually being cancelled at the last minute due to the artist being taken ill, at least the show re-started, which you wouldn't get with flesh and blood artists. I am sure it must have been frustrating all round, and I'm not underestimating the disappointment people must have felt, but that sort of glitch was always a possibility with such a high tech show. I wonder if they tried turning it off and back on again lol! Sorry, couldn't resist!

An hour can feel like a very long time. Still, these things happen. I imagine it must have spoiled the enjoyment of the show for the people there- all 3000 of them!!

Omg, just read about it now! the Glitch, I think Agnetatar Switched the lights off and did a runner! It was too much for her, 30 Concerts in a row, well it would be, expect it to be splashed all across the Daily rags soon.

New video of opening night
I have to say they can't afford any more technical malfunctions.

Surprised there was no back-up plan, after all, there's a live band, could have done something surely?

As for the malfunction better now than opening night. Can you imagine the reviews?

johnny, actually I thought there was a bug during the opening night and it really scared me... During the performance of Don't Shut Me Down a semi-transparent screen was dropped down in front of the stage, on which the large images of Abbatars were projected. It caused the scene behind it look blurred; it reminded me of a broken TV-screen. I really thought something went wrong and I couldn't help but think about the press tearing the show to pieces.

Fortunately the media news have not jumped at the chance to report it, and hopefully those who attended will be given something in return for the inconvenience. It's great to hear all the positive reviews of the show, l was listening to the to translation by YouTuber'Giventoe' of Agnetha's radio interview in Sweden when DSMD was no.1 she dared not to say about future projects with Abba, or Solo, so the doors are not completely Closed.

What's the latest feeling with ticket sales? I've not been following closely but it seemed to be doom and gloom around here fairly recently.
I just know I can't get a dancefloor ticket for a good month or two, which suggests v healthy sales going forward...

Tickets seem to be selling on a 2 month trajectory, so right now most of September is low availability. By August, I expect most of October to have sold well and so on. I guess this is down to people wanting to go again and again.

Having seen the opening night show it was just a joyful thing to be part of, and looking at how the show progresses, it will be great to see other songs added over time. I am hoping that TACOM will be part of the show, that was the one song I think I missed most from the opening night.

I guess this is down to people wanting to go again and again. Thanks - interesting to know. I don't think it's people going again and again though. Even the biggest enthusiasts have said they'll wait a few months. Nearly 6 million bought Abba Gold in the UK and only a few hundred thousand tickets have been sold, so it's going to be about people just getting round to buying tickets, including people like me. I could pretty easily persuade about 8 friends to go to it (and various family members) but I'm just waiting for decent tickets to be available nearer in the future (so not two months away) which may or may not happen! |

^^^^tend to agree, purely guessing of course but I imagine Wayne is one of a select few who have seen it multiple times
Personally I would say to frequent and looses the magic, twice I totally get as first time around your totally blown away with it all and guess miss bits...
I’m waiting for a set change to see it for the second time, and being greedy I’d like to think more than one track change and perhaps a little longer show , guess the technology prohibits ?
Yes agree the great reviews and word of mouth has helped enormously, so a big success....just wish those ticket prices a little lower.....

I still think the set change will not happen until next year maybe by May next year.

I won't get to see the show until early in the New Year (my oldest friend is coming home from the Middle East to see Voyage - our first concert was ABBA in 1979, so we're coming full circle). I hope any set changes in the meantime leave The Visitors and WAISAD alone. I don't think there's anything else from the set I'd miss too much.

I'm not sure when I'll get to see the concert now. I wish I'd just bitten the bullet and seen it already. I had planned for September but I gather that's pretty much fully booked? I don't want to go in the height of summer or the depths of winter and I'm definitely not paying stupid money. Oh what a pickle!
I'd also be pretty p****d off if the setlist changed before I went. I'd hate to miss The Visitors. I guess I want my cake and want to eat it too!

^^^^^ apparently a friend of mine who I initially went with, says that they had a seat a bit further back, ( 2nd time around ) we were initially E , second time N, and they said the view was just as good and anywhere in the arena will have a good view, so just go for it and grab a cheap seat when it appears..
Unless anyone says to the contrary regarding seats....

I'm new to the Abba Forum and was very fortunate to attend the Voyage Concert on 16th June after being lucky enough to get a pre-sale ticket, wow what
an amazing show esp in the way it has been created, it is so believable. As I enjoyed it so much I have booked to go again on 7th October, not sure if some
of the songs will be changed around by then nevertheless will be great to experience it all over again. Would be good if they added 'Super Trouper' or 'Take a chance on me' at
some point but its works well and everyone was on their feet as soon as DQ started. I never imagined I would get to see an Abba show of this kind.
