May 26, 201510 yr damn, i was hoping for a satirist. Thanks for your senses of humour, gave me a good long belly laugh, you know the one where you really are tickled pink sort of thing. On a serious note though I think I will be getting off the back end to go to the show in pattaya, ever since i watched the tribute video for george harrison I have found a liking for the Indian musicians especially Rav Shankar and his daughter, brilliant artists IMO
May 30, 201510 yr Author Looks like tickets are available at Tesco Lotus stores. http://www.tescolotus.com/en/service/ticket The tescolotus site refers to Thai Ticket "Master, which links to Thai Ticket Major. Can anyone confirm that they are the same entity?
May 31, 201510 yr Author Ticket cost range for jazz show tickets? 500 baht in Pattaya. See the yellow poster above.
May 31, 201510 yr For ThaiTicketMajor, the Major Cinema Boxoffice at the Avenue Complex on 2nd Road, where Villa Market is, also can make bookings and (I think) issue tickets. Otherwise the nearest official TTM office is in Central Bangna
May 31, 201510 yr Author For ThaiTicketMajor, the Major Cinema Boxoffice at the Avenue Complex on 2nd Road, where Villa Market is, also can make bookings and (I think) issue tickets. Otherwise the nearest official TTM office is in Central Bangna Thanks for the clarification. But the question was what role Tesco Lotus plays. Can they sell tickets or are they just a payment center, like 7/11?

The concert will be a mixture of light classics and jazz-rock-fusion. I assumed that's what you were referring to by the term "jazz show". Correct me if I'm wrong.

June 13, 201510 yr Author Interview with Chatterjee published yesterday in Z news: “I don’t want to unlearn anything completely and let go off my roots. You have to sort of split your personality, which means that you are one person when you’re going on a classical stage and another when you’re playing fusion, crossover music with a band,” he explains. http://zeenews.india.com/entertainment/music/life-is-music-know-what-sitar-virtuoso-purbayan-chatterjee-has-to-say-about-music_1612656.html
