That’s fantastic news. Unfortunately I can’t be there. But maybe there’s someone out there who could let sign an album for me (of course I will pay for it!). That would really be awesome.

@Kiwein: Yeah, you could almost think they don’t want any fans to be there... *rolls eyes as well*

Okay now I am really annoyed....
I have been waiting and watching for days for this news, because we knew it would happen and that she would sign in at least one place...
I was planning on booking a last minute flight (you know a few days before) and going to get to meet Marie and get a signed copy of the album....
Now we get the news, far too bloody late for those fans outside of Sweden who want to go!
It is so annoying... okay so it’s a Swedish release but the management and Marie know she has a big international following and that there are some people that would love to see her sign this... and then they announce it less than 24 hours before hand!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I checked flights and it would be nearly £700 to book one tonight to leave tomorrow....
Yeah thanx Marie....

Well I was planning on bringing back a few signed copies if I went! The only flight to Sweden tomorrow is at 5.30pm - go figure!

Actually I could go for about 200 Euro but I am so annoyed that I wouldn’t be in a good mood if I went. Finally, they got what they wanted: keep the foreign fans away from anything that can be called promotion.
So: I agree with you Ally. It would have been better not to tell us at all.
*edit*
Ah wait, they WANT to annoy us that’s why they tell us..

Nobody from the management has told TDR anything about this, we found out about this by luck, just like Roxette’s new single. So this “we think the remaining sites will suffice” seems to be the normal nothingness...
ally77 said on June 15, 2006 19:50:
It’s even worse knowing that they didn’t actually tell TDR about it.... it kind of makes you think if being a fan is worth it....
I mean there is no official FC for Marie so if TDR would have not said anything how many people would have known....
Marie did exactly the same with the book signing last year, and that was annoying as well, I had to admit I find it rude whether its Marie or the management behind it....
I can understand her not wanting lots of international fans being there, but we are adults and I doubt it would have attracted more than 100 fans from outside Sweden with even a few days notice....
It just seems cruel.... yet I am still waiting for my album in the post...

Well, thanks to TDR for the news anyway. I don’t blame YOU.
It’s even more annoying hearing that they didn’t tell ANYONE..

I think you have to see it all from another point of view. (I can say it because I have worked in that branch.)
A store like Ahlens organizes signing sessions merely in order to create more “traffic” in the house. What kind of customer do they want to attract? Surely their regular customers who will come back even after this event and who will create a regular turnover. They are NOT interested in people from abroad and fans you bung up all the passageways, scare away all the old ladies and vanish for ever again. I hope you see what I mean.
I am very sure that this event is promoted in Ahlens house but nowhere else. Anything else would not suit the desired target group.
You as a fan will have to live with that because this is simply business. Of course it would have been a friendly move by the management to send a short message to the TDR but they have regularily failed in such situations before ... so what did you expect? ;-)

thenicekai, okey, but why got information about GT and Per signing session weeks before the signing date?
rox-kuryliw said on June 15, 2006 21:57:
ally i totally agree with you 100 % on everythere you said love.
thenicekai said on June 15, 2006 23:14:
Mari, I assume it is because of the good relation between Tev and Per which make some news flow faster than usual. As we all know, Marie doesn’t care about her internet fanbase that much and so it is up to the management to give the info. Well we know how this usually ends up.

there aren’t more signing sessions planned
ally77 said on June 16, 2006 06:10:
Oh well would have been nice to have been in Stockholm for the weekend...
Now what is the chance of her signing in Gothenburg next week of something....
Kiwein1 said on June 16, 2006 07:12:
Well, it doesn’t matter where she signs when they don’t tell us that she does..
gyllene_tjej said on June 16, 2006 08:52:
Jesus, blaming Marie for that is really foolish...
bluesue said on June 16, 2006 09:03:
And I also think, Marie is fine with that..not so much hullahballuh..with fans..she can take it more relaxed. I’m sure there will be nice pictures. And soo cool that she is up to signing. You go, Marie..
