Night at the Kremlin

Back in November one of my friends at work and I decided to purchase tickets for the Gipsy Kings concert. Not that I'm a huge Gypsy King's fan...but what the heck?!? We rounded up a little help at work to figure out how to exactly purchase concert tickets and thought we were so lucky to have gotten the last four remaining seats at the concert, even if they were in the second to last row....

At least that is what they told us.........

Eventually we got the actual tickets and were a little surprised to see the face value of the tickets we purchased were actually only a quarter of the price we had paid.....

Oh well......but we did get the last 4 tickets......

So this past Friday night we showed up at the Kremlin for the show. The Kremlin State Palace, is possibly one of the largest music halls I have ever been in and is located inside the Kremlin walls. You can read a little about it at the link below.

After finding our seats (in the second to last row) and waiting for the show to start the ushers walked up and down the aisles yelling something crazy in Russian that, as usual, we could not quite understand. Quickly, all of the people around us got up out of their seats and made a mad dash for closer, better seats....Clearly the concert had not been sold out....So we moved forward too!

At any rate, we settled into our newly found seats and I opened up the concert program that I had purchased on the way in the front door. I didn't even think about it......until I opened up the program to find out that the entire program was in Russian. That was a few rubles well spent?!?

The infamous Gipsy Kings program -

"Gipsy Kings" are the only two words we could read in the program...
