Keep the responses coming – I’ve gotten several from the new gmail account address – this is fine also.  🙂

Several have asked about Vegas.  There is no “official” Fan Faire this time, although Jeannette Giglio has arranged and reserved dinner for a group of about 50 at the Palms restaurant, The Lucky Penny for dinner before the concert.  They will allow seating, starting at 3:30p.  I believe concert is at 8p.  If you are interested in attending, please email Jeannette at: IlVolotour2019@mail.com, so she can keep track of the number for the reservation.  Myron is also coordinating, with Jeannette.  🙂

And speaking of Vegas…. I will be travelling from MI alone, to Vegas.  I will arrive Fri night and going home on the red eye on Monday. 🙁  I have booked Fri/Sat at the Jockey Suites, which is next to the Bellagio, right on the strip, and Sunday at the Palms.   Rooms for Fri/Sat are a tad over $400 for both nights and they are currently sold out.  SO, if there is anyone thinking about going at the last minute and is looking for a room, please let me know by emailing me at the Flight Crew email below, as I’d be happy to have a roomie to share the cost!  🙂   I upgraded at the Palms for a Studio Suite.  Both hotel rooms have a full kitchenette.  The Palms is totally non-smoking in the Palms Place. 

SOUNDCHECKS!

Ok, I’ve heard a few of you have made it to the soundcheck!  Please tell us how it went and what to expect.  Several fans on this site have questions!  🙂

Some other info provided by Lisa Joy….

Sound check is being announced a couple days before the concert and has to be booked by 11am the day of the concert. Only Boston one up right now.

“ TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SOUNDCHECK IT IS MANDATORY TO BOOK BY 11:00 AM ON THE DAY OF THE CONCERT

To participate you need:

book on the following form
print the reservation (or have it on your smartphone) hold the physical concert ticket (or equivalent digital ticket to present at the entrance to access) that the name displayed on your profile corresponds to that written on your identity card (Please update your profile if the names do not match) show us a valid ID IMPORTANT

access to the soundcheck is reserved only for members of the Fan Club (accompanying persons without membership of the Fan Club cannot participate. The minimum age allowed to join the Official Fan Club of Il Volo is 13 years.) an adult enrolled in the Fan Club who has a child under the age of 13 who is NOT a Fan Club member, can participate in the soundcheck bringing the child with him ONLY IF both of them have valid identity documents and concert tickets.
to enter the building your tickets will be validated, so at the end of the soundcheck you can go to position yourself in the places you have purchased A card is NOT required to make a reservation and take advantage of the initiative each booking is strictly personal, is nominal and cannot be transferred to third parties

Of note….

John from CT attended the Mashantucket and will be attending the Boston concert!  He promised his review for both nights – looking forward to it, John!  Great to hear from you again!  🙂

Ok, I’m sure there are more of you going to New York, because it is sold out!!  So, please respond on this post if you want to meet up with any other Flight Crew fans.  It is up to you to make arrangements, etc.

SOUNDCHECKS!

Ok, for those of you that are fan club members, we got a surprise email today stating they would be doing soundchecks in the US on this tour!  I tried to go in there and it just took me to the renewal site and I couldn’t get much anywhere else that said anything about the soundcheck for Mashantucket?  So, it still remains a mystery!!

 

That’s all for now…..  Again, our new email address is:  IlVoloFlightCrew@gmail.com 🙂

New Flight Crew Badge!!

Il Volo Flight Crew New Badge Smaller

Hello Flight Crew members! I know a lot of us are getting very excited about our upcoming concert dates and I have good news!

I have updated the IL VOLO Flight Crew Badge and have made it available for download. You can access it by clicking on the Flight Crew Badge tab at the far right on the blog home page under the Search magnifying glass icon.

When you get to the page you will see some updated information and instructions there. At the very bottom of that page is the new link to the Flight Crew Badge art.

Please leave a comment here on this post if you have any questions and I will try to help.

Hope everyone enjoys the concerts and meet & greets with our wonderful guys of IL VOLO!

SITE NEWS! NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!!

Hello Everyone!!

We have been getting many emails to the “Contact Us” email account at “ilvoloflightcrw@outlook.com” but we have been unable to answer many of the questions and we felt bad about that. Julie, Sandi, and Angie have done their best at trying to monitor that account.  Thank you, ladies!!  🙂 

The Outlook account will be disabled shortly.  Please do not send any emails to that address.

I went in and answered anything from 2019, but anything beyond that, was deleted.

So, we made a NEW GMAIL ACCOUNT!

It is ilvoloflightcrew@gmail.com  (notice we added the “e” in crew!)

We think this will be easier for everyone to send in their questions, etc. and will be easier for us administrators to answer your questions as well!

Several have asked about the Flight Crew Badge and that the link is broken.  Kelly is looking into this.

Also, many are asking who is going where?  Yes, Marie was the pro at this!  We will do our best, so everyone can meet who they want to meet!  Please send “where you will be” to the NEW GMAIL account email.  Please put in the subject line the cities you will be attending.

Also, as you’ve noticed, we haven’t been able to update the calendar on the side like we had in the past.  We have been having technical issues with the new Word Press site.  We are also working on this.

Please bear with us.   We truly thank you for being devoted fans and followers of this blog site.  I think we are the only active one left!

Right now, it is mainly just Pat, Daniela, Kelly, and myself who are trying to run this site.  If there is anyone out there that EVER wants to write, find an article, write a poem, etc., please send it to the NEW GMAIL account.

We will try to read the account about once a week.  Please also use that email account to send in all of your pictures, stories, etc. from all of the upcoming “Best of 10 Years” concerts, from the US, as well as those in other countries, the rest of this year!  They are going to be really tired guys by the time December hits!

Grazie mille a tutti!

Any questions, please respond to this post, or send to the NEW EMAIL account –    (here is link) ilvoloflightcrew@gmail.com 

 

Your Administrators –

Jana, Pat, Kelly, Daniela

An Extra Hour with Il Volo!

We in the USA gained the extra hour this weekend, although Europe fell back last weekend.

This is what I did with my extra hour, ok, maybe a little longer than an hour…. but what did you do?

Ok, I challenged all of you a few years ago to do this.  Now, I challenge you again!  Gather all of your Il Volo memorabilia and/or all things Italy and make a space on a shelf or in a room and devote it to the Guys!  🙂 

I’d been wanting to do this for quite some time now, and I finally did it!  🙂

It’s not perfect and I still have some ideas, but that is most of it!

We want to see your pictures!  Please feel free to send to jvandela524@gmail.com.

Take care all – they are coming – I’m sure of it!
