Yes, it basically is a media-only event. There are some possibilities, which are still being discussed. I'd hoped we'd have an answer for you now, but we unfortunately don't - that's out of our hands, unfortunately.
Don't get your hopes up too much. The thing that's being discussed definitely isn't the large scale public sale of tickets to fans in the manner of the Tubular Bells II/III premieres. It's more about giving as many fans as possible the chance to enjoy the performance in some form in Bilbao. Considering how late things are getting, some of the possibilities that have been put forward may not be practical, but that really depends on a whole load of things...and the solution which is eventually drawn up could be any number of things.
I asked about numbers a little way back in this thread, and the information I collected was used like I said it would be - they now have a rough idea of how many people might potentially have been able to come (and hopefully still would be able to if we get an announcement of a firm plan out soon! ). I don't know what they're ultimately going to decide, based on those figures (I did more than just count the number of people who'd given a definite yes here, by the way - I've been watching discussions on other forums as well, so put together a rough estimate based on what I could see, together with a wee bit of extra knowledge from having done things like this before, so don't worry that I might have said only 20 people want to come...). I suggested a solution which I felt was workable, made clear how much we could do for them to ensure that it works out, and also mentioned what other things I felt might interest people, should there be less constraints...it's all been passed on to the people who make the decisions (or so I'm told), and we're now waiting for the verdict. There's unfortunately nothing more that we can do.
It's a big and complex operation, and naturally everyone is very busy right now, which is making things difficult. I do feel that we have people on our side who want to see a decent outcome for the fans, but ...best not to expect miracles. All I can say is that we'll keep you updated on this.
