Brazil is CONFIRMED
Archived42 replies · 1,675 views
Just read the news in the main page. These are going to be the first gigs in Brazil since 1988, not 1989.
Who's going?
I'm seriously considering jet setting it down there.
What are those venues like? Are they general admission or assigned seating? How close could we get?
How expensive/cheap is a week in Brazil? Round trip airfare from here is only about $1000. 
No news about elsewhere in South America yet? My Spanish is far better than my Portuguese.
Via Funchal is a great venue, with capacity of 7000. It's my favorite venue in the city and I'm glad they're playing there. You can check the venue's website (English version): http://www.viafunchal.com.br/eng/default.asp
I've never been in Fundição Progresso but I was told that's a decent venue too, with capacity of 5000.
I am expressly forbidden by my wife from travelling to Brazil, on pain of death or worse! How much are the flights?

I've had a quick look....
Manchester To Sao Paulo (Leaving 9th Returning 19th giving you a couple of days in case something's added) is about £550.
I also did a round trip Manchester - Sau Paulo - Rio - Manchester, which (With different flights) was also £550.
Bargain!
Out of my range unfortunately.
Cheers Jon
pass.
i won't even go to Wolves. not for them same old tired out replay of a song list. Brand new set list, i'd even consider "that Landan".

Fingers crossed, folks.
You mean there will be more? ;)
Al, you should run this site, you have the dates before everybody else :p

Really? Keeping my fingers crossed for Argentina, obviously.
I read in an Argentinian forum that apparently the date for NO here would be November the 18th, as part of a festival. This is a much more probable date than the 5th, isn't it?
Yes!!!!! 
You have no idea of the excitement here below the equator!!!!
The Fundição Progresso is a cool venue, located at Lapa, a very traditional place of Rio. Franz Ferdinand and Slayer will play there in September.
You all are so very welcome to Rio de Janeiro if you want. If anybody needs any help can email me.

Hey boy!
I will introduce you some girls, your won't regret!
Sorry, but I won't be there even if you pay the flight, unless I win the lottery. There are sometimes more important things in life than New Order.
I hope they are three (or even more) great dates, and everyone gets what they wish for, but I shan't be part of it, sadly.

Just had an email saying 'tomorrow' now.
Yep, tickets for the Sao Paulo gigs are already being sold at the venue's website: http://viafunchal.showare.ch/General/ShoWareFrontEndPortalHome.aspx?UICulture=en-US

This is what I needed to know. I'm buying mine now. :)
Crap... Will call only... I need to be sure I can go... *sigh*
EDIT: OK, I'm committed. However, the payment process on the site is giving me fits. I'm thinking it has to do with not being able to properly enter my address... grr!
Can someone maybe get tickets for me? I can pay now. Email me if you can help.

There's a bug in the website as "State" is a mandatory field but there are no American states in the database. I've called the venue and they said that they're going to correct this, but as you will collect the tickets at the box office anyway, you can enter any address in Brazil. You can type my postal address (drop me an e-mail if you are desperate) or even the hotel address. I suggest this one as it's close to the airport and the venue.

Yeah I bypassed this by putting Columbus, GA USA in the city field and selecting Brazil SP. However, when it went to process my credit card it was declined.
It could've been because of the wrong billing address or maybe the fraud protection from my bank kicking in on a foreign transaction. I'd have to talk to my bank to be sure. Either way, I'm unable to buy through the site.
I'd call the venue myself but I'm apprehensive about doing that since I can't speak Portuguese and don't know if they can speak English. :(
I got an email from Rodrigo. Hopefully he can help me out. Thanks for the link on the hotel, by the way.
Nevermind.
I tried it again, this time successfully. So I now have tickets... I think... my card was charged but when it went back to the store it came back with a database error.
Hopefully it went through and my name is on the will call list. I'm not processing my card again.
Anwyay, no turning back now!

I've replied your e-mail, Ric. I will call the venue tomorrow and check if everything is fine with your tickets.
