We hope to meet as many of you as possible!
***
Note from Myron & Jeannette:
We are close to 100 guests for the Las Vegas Fan Faire, but still have about 8 to 10 spaces available. So, it is not too late to sign up and join us on March 25. We are going to have a lot of fun just getting to know each other face-to-face.
If you still do not have concert tickets go through the Il Volomusic. com web site because they are cheaper than Ticketmaster straight up.
review our addresses: http://www.ilvololasvegas.wordpress.com
IlVolo2LV@outlook.com
or to me at: meheaton@earthlink.net
Curious thing: I am working with the meet and greet company and of their 75 people we have 68 in our Fan Faire.

I have to add this just because it’s funny and cute and sweet and so Il Volo!

Please update me, in comments, if I have it wrong or your name is missing. It will live over there on your right under “Topics”.
For the most reliable dates and times for an IL VOLO CONCERT call your local Ticketmaster, Venue or PBS station.

I will be going 2/13 and 2/21′
Happy to add you Camille!
Your daughter too, Gale.
My niece, Laura Jenkis, will be coming to Vegas. I sent her name in.
Great bunch. Looking forward to seeing you in Las Vegas. If I don’t live long enough to make it, My friend will take my place. I have instructed her all about you guys. Joanie G Not to worry, I will crawl there.
Joanie G!
Yo! What’s with the attitude there, Girl! We’ll have none of that!
There will be no croaking before, during or after Las Vegas! This is not on the Flight Crew agenda!
If I hear this kind of talk out of any of you, I will come after you! And you do not want that!
You tell ‘er, Lynn!
This is against the rules. You are required by law to stay alive and healthy. There is no choice.
I am attending the concerts in Detroit on 2/27 and Dallas on 3/19. Thank you for posting the Flight Crew badge!!! My first one is hiding some place😉❤️
Marie you did the “How to act at the Meet & Greet” now we need a lesson on “What to wear to impress”. A WARDROBE GUIDE.
Gina! FYI! Dorothy Henderson is wearing red leather and I’m wearing black leather! If this helps any!
Easy…I have seen the ones that have “impressed” at the concerts. First be 20 years old, a size 6 and 5’8′. Then wear the shortest tightest dress Vera Wang designs. Have long beautiful blonde hair. Then all you have to do is be naturally gorgeous.
There…does that help?
Well, I ‘m not 20 years old and not a size 6 but I’ve got everything else!! (As long as I don’t look in the mirror!) Heh! Heh!
Marie, I know I am late with this comment but I can’t help it! YOU ARE A SPOIL SPORT!
I know but it’s true. Some of them are amazingly beautiful. That’s ok though. I know those 3 guys. They’ll love us, not size 6’s too!
Hey Gina I was thinking the same thing What to wear? Hey Marie did you get to see the video of the Milan concert on the 29 of man now I really can’t wait till March in Vegas. WOW PH WOW.
Saw the concert. Also got very excited! Now I know why I’ve turned green. Two reasons. 1) My first concert isn’t for a month and I’m jealous. and 2) I’ve been holding my breath since that video.
Hey Marie I just read my post to you and I’m getting so excited I can’t spell right sorry.
What a nice video! My student is no longer going. Instead my friend, Georgana is coming with me. She was just introduced to them by me and is super excited! For those of us unlucky to not get meet and greet tickets, maybe post “How To Get Noticed Without Meet and Greet Passes”.
I’m quite disgruntled. I had called the number and e-mailed the address given on the website SEVERAL time before they ever got back to me and, by then the M&Gs were sold out. How can that be?! I’m their biggest fan in Buffalo!? I’m happy I have good seats and happy I have met them in the past. I’m going to bring along my picture just in case I have the opportunity, by some miracle, to have them sign in because you just never know!
FIVE MORE DAYS!!!!
Jill! Can’t wait to hear what you saw, what they sing, how much better they look and sound in person, etc. I have too long a wait myself and a large need too know!
I will be sure to give you all the details!
I’ll be at the Nashille Concert March 1st. along with Diane Varsek..

Il Volo,Saturday evening in show of Massimo Ranieri Sogno e son desto!

P.S. Massimo Ranieri is an original performer of song Quando l’amore diventa poesia,year of release was 1969. Also song Vent’anni (1971) , that Piero and Gianluca sing as a new duet, is his. (Lyrics: My life began like the grass, like the flower.And my mother kissed me as if I were the first love.This is how my life begins just like a poem.I believe that up there .There was a smile for me too .The same light that is lit when a king is born. A star, a guitar ,first blond and my love .With the pride of a twenty year-old .I wept but I told you goodbye .And I went towards destiny .With the enthusiasm of a child. But I’m here if you want me .Love of my twenties. I believe that there. Someone had already written .My love for you and all that will be .I believe that up there.)
Thanks for the translation, Lydka!
Ruth,
lyrics are from song ” Vent’anni” – it means ” Twenty years”.
Liz Vines, I have two extra tickets to the concert in SA! If you know anyone who would like them, please pm me or contact me on fb! They are 4th row seats, orchestra! I’ll make them a good deal…I just want the seats FULL! See you in March!
Il VOLO adds another USA concert – April 2 in Indio, California.
So in other words Temecula is not the last American concert.
They will be adding some other concerts in a few days (so I have heard) but I think they intending some of those for South America.
The April 2 – concert in Indio, CA will be held in the events center of the Fantasy Springs Resort.
I finally got a chance to watch a whole concert from their Europe tour. Usually, I only have time for bits and pieces. I thought the Milano concert was wonderful. They were singing at optimum craftsmanship. The only suggestions I would have made was that the song order was a bit strange. I hope they switch things around a bit. Also, when they come here they better add Eternally since the American crowd already loves that song and the way they do it. one or two of the new songs are a little week. But I am glad Gianluca brought his classical solo back again. It is superb. And Ignazio singing “Tonight” from West Side Story. What a job !
Looking ahead to USA – change a few songs out and change song order a little and off we go. I would put Grande Amore at the beginning -not the end.
a little note on the numbers for Las Vegas: In addition to those from this web site there are others from the Vegas area that are not members of this site (although I am urging them to join up) The total including some new people just yesterday and today at church is now 93 people. But we do have a few more spaces.
My name is missing from Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Jose. Including paid and received my receipt for the Fan Faire. Please add my name.
Got ya, Marie. What a great time you’re going to have!!
P.S. Nice name.
Marie, thanks for posting an update on who is going to which concert. I look forward to meeting those of you who are going to the Miami concert, the only one I can do this year. I hope we can get a photo of us together and hopefully share a meal. Safe travels are wished to everyone, no matter what concert you are attending. We have waited a very long time for what promises to be outstanding concerts this year.
I’m going to Buffalo, Hershey, Cleveland and Dallas.
Hey there Lijoy! Gotcha!
Hi Everyone,
I have an extra ticket for the Las Vegas concert.
It is floor 103(right in the middle) It is in row M,
and I think by looking at the floor plan it is one seat over from the aisle. If anyone is interested, Marie would you give them my E-Mail address?
Thank’s
Sure will, Jill.
Hi Marie,
Yes, I, Jeanie and Mr. Jeanie, (I love that!) will still be attending the February 27, 2016 Concert in Detroit, Michigan. God willing that the weather will co-operate. I can’t wait. First time with Meet & Greet Tickets and I am so nervous.
I hope that I can spot other Flight Crew Members this time. Thanks for posting this list again and thanks for all the work that you do on this website.
All of you Las Vegas attendees are going to have a ball. I say this with a pouty face, as I cannot attend. I will have to read all of your comments about Las Vegas.
Have fun everyone!
Jeanie, the most important thing is Il Volo!!! And you get to touch them too!!! So stop pouting! LOL I hope you make contact with some of the Detroit group. They are a great fun, Il Volo loving, bunch of crazy women. (Yes, you Jana!)
You’re not the only one with a pouty face! I’m pouty all over!
Lynn,
lol I keep fretting about the weather and I keep telling my husband that I told him we should just go to Vegas, where the weather will be warm and then he won’t have to be stressing me out riding in the car if the roads are bad. I sure didn’t win that discussion though. Still have that pouty face and I would have loved to meet the other flight crew members. I guess we will just have to sit at home and pout while the others are having a great time in Vegas.
Piratesorka (Connie)
I just wanted to say that you now have other
il Volo Flight Crew members attending your concert with you. You will not be alone. Get that badge printed out if you don’t have one. Have fun and so glad that you got good seats. There is a trick to getting decent seats plus the money that must be put out. lol But they are so worth it.
I guess I have only been reading the website and not logging in to see any responses to my posts. Sorry, I will try to do better.
I’m going to see Il Volo in Atlantic City, Feb. 13, 2016 with my daughter, Sue, and we have Meet and Greet tickets!!! 6th row left of center in the Golden Circle at the Borgata Events Center!!! I’m so happy … very worried I may faint…but I just need to tell them how wonderful they are!! Thank you for this site, I read it every day.
Geri, Thank you for reading!
You won’t faint until after you “tell them how wonderful they are”. You’ll get back to your hotel (or home) then think abut it and faint. At least I hope you make it back to the car first!
Sun, Mar 06, 2016 Tampa, FL Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center
I’ll be there!
You’re on the list now, Maria. Have a wonderful time!!
ty Marie. I can’t wait…..
sent e-mail to your website–dont know if anyone saw it add Thomas Haack to the list for fan club convention–i paid for his ticket i will be going to the pechanga concert add John Kraus to that list thankyou for your help and efforts are you supposed to print out the badges??
sudstheduds, I have you both on the list and so does Myron & Jeannette with the convention. Thank you. See you there!
I’ll be going to the Nashville and Las Vegas concerts in addition to Atlantic City and Washington, DC (Grannie Groupies)!
Yeah !!! Our guys will be crossing the pond to enchant us very soon !!! Probably tomorrow as their first concert is the 5th in Buffalo !! I think I’m going to jump out of my skin from the excitement of it all !!! ( maybe I’ll get a little thinner if I do that !! LOL !!).
I can’t wait to be with my Granny Groupies again at the Kennedy Center in DC February 19th !! We have become very close and miss each other very much !! We are having dinner there with other Ilvolovers !!! We’re very excited !!
Then I hope to see you in Miami Marie,Ineke and LeeLee along with others that we know !! We thankfully got Miami M&G tickets a week ago from PBS !! Then three more concerts after Miami !! I feel very,very fortunate to be able to travel and attend all these concerts this year. I only wish that every single person that loves our boys could do the same. Thank heavens that Social Media brings the concerts to all of us immediately via many videos !!!!
Hi everyone!
So excited!!! San Jose 3/29!
My 3yo is going and is beyond excited! He’s so funny, recently, he’s been in a beard fix, so he’ll put anything that resembles a beard on his chin and holds it there all day saying, “I look like Gianluca”
I’ve made a bunch of people fans and I’ve been checking Ticketmaster on a daily basis to see about getting them some decent seats. Just wondering if anyone thinks they should be purchased now, or wait until after 3/19 when the sale for (I forget if it’s VIP?) ends and they’ll release better tickets that weren’t sold?
Also, can anyone give advice on how to see them at the airport? What airline and will that airline give info, etc. I’d love for my son to meet them!
Thanks everyone, have a great day!
Alejandra
I will be at February 26 show in Chicago with my sister. We are spending a couple of days in the Windy City. Will we see you there?
Please add my husband to the Boston and Orlando concerts with me.
Please add my name, Cheryl VanDyke to the list of Flight Crew, attending the San Jose Concert. 3-29-16. I will also be bringing a friend, Maureen Bozeman, who I know will be a future fan!
Got you on the list, Cheryl. Have a wonderful time!!!
I will be attending the April 3 concert in Atlanta. Seems so far away in time. Add my husband as well. He would not let me go by myself. I wonder why?? Three very handsome young men with magnificent voices – I can’t see anything wrong with that! Can you ? I will try not to be my usual wild and wild self.
