Patty Brard is a very famous Dutch person, a real one household namebut despite that, she currently does not have coveted tickets for the Bruno Mars concert. “No.”
The extremely popular singer Bruno Mars is coming to the Netherlands in the summer to give four concerts in the Amsterdam Arena. The tickets sold like hot cakes and unfortunately his big fan Patty Brard missed out. Despite the fact that she is a very famous Dutch person with privileges that ordinary people do not have.
Patty is a fan
Patty thinks it’s a shame. “I have to be very honest: I have already listened to the single that was released today for 31 minutes. That single alone! I think it is doing very well. He is someone who knows exactly what he is doing and man, man, man: it sounds great,” she says at the desk of Show news.
Singer April Darby, who is sitting next to her at the desk, is not going: “I hate watching concerts in the Arena, because I think the sound is so bad. That’s just a kind of principle thing of mine: that’s why I don’t go.”
Helsinki
The people who do go will probably find it fantastic, according to April. “I have to be honest: I flew to Helsinki six years ago to see him there and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen in my life.”
Patty: “If you know that his background is that he was dumped by his record label, then went underground and then he learned to play all the instruments that could be played on such a record himself, so he can actually sing and play everything himself. He is the biggest fan of Michael Jackson and James Brown. It is soul. It is everything.”
‘Thank you!’
Presenter Dyantha Brooks will go. “Yes, thank you, Rick de Groot. That is an acquaintance of mine and he said: ‘I have tickets, would you like to buy them?’ But then you are Patty Brard, perhaps one of the most famous Dutch people, and then you are unable to get a ticket?”
Patty: “Listen, I left that waiting room online, because: ‘You are the one millionth’, I don’t really like that, but of course I will still do my best.”
Connections
Dyantha points out Patty’s status. “Because we, who watch TV in the Netherlands, always think: yes, that Patty has connections everywhere, he just calls and he is in the Crown lounge within five minutes.”
Patty: “Yes, but I haven’t really looked into it yet.”
Colleague Bart Ettekoven concludes: “But knowing Patty – because it is on July 2, 3, 5 and 7 – she will be very concerned about this on July 1. Hahaha. She will have a few tickets at twelve o’clock!”
