Watch out for sites like biljettnu.se, these guys semms to provide tickets, but actually they do not, they buy tickets from second sources and sell them at a premium. Fact is, they sell the tickets before they have them, which means that there is no guarantee at all that you will ever get a ticket (on the cnfirmation you get from them it says differently, that this is a guarantee. which is a lie as they don't even have the tickets then). This is a scam, and nothing else. In Sweden this is regrettably legal and so far the first hand tickets providers (ticnet.se for example, which I typically link to) have not yet gottens around to implementing the obvious solution: personalized tickets.

As you might have seen, I have not been at many festivals this year (none actually, not even Åmål). It's not that I'm no longer a Bluesman though, far from it, but my beautiful wife and me have kids coming, so I have been kind of indisposed. I'm really excited about this, and I am also real happy, and that live music has to take a step back in my life right now, well, so be it. And just so you know it, I couldn't be happier.

If you want to go to Åmåls Bluesfest from Stockholm but don't know how to get there, there are still seats left in the Vintage Bus "Drömmen" which leaves Stockholm July 5 with return July 8. See more on their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/335879389813095/
