Russell Peters in Muscat

Well the news broke yesterday that Alive Events and Hi FM are bringing Russell Peters to Muscat on Saturday March 17th and people are pretty pumped about it. Saturday, March 17th is not only St Patricks Day, it's also Super Saturday with the final 3 matches in the Six Nations rugby tournament - the last 3 games are played back to back.

Here is what I know about the gig so far:

It's going to be held at the Qurum Amphitheater (near to Mumtaz Mahal) at 8:00 PM and tickets will be going on sale on Saturday 10th at 4:00 PM from the Bose store in Qurum City Centre with a maximum number of 6 tickets available per customer. A second ticket sales location has been announced: The Atrium at the Muscat Grand Mall at 4:00 PM on Saturday. There will be 4 types of tickets: RO 25, 35, 45 & 55 and 85 - I may be slightly wrong on the prices but I guess we'll see soon as announced this morning.

Russell Peters is from Brampton which is just North West of Toronto. He's a big time comedian who's currently on world tour. He has 4 shows in the UAE, 2 each in Abu Dhabi & Dubai and they are all sold out. The first show in Dubai sold out so fast they decided to do a second show with 2000 seats and that sold out in just 8 minutes. Thats pretty good! Now here is the best bit: The UAE shows run from March 19th/20th (Dubai) & 22nd/23rd (Abu Dhabi), which means Oman get to see Russell Peters before the people in the UAE!

I'll update this when I get more news.
