PLAYING AT CHARTERHOUSE 7/7/2012 7pm-10pm
We are delighted to announce that we are playing at Charterhouse. This is an amazing opportunity to visit the famous historic school where "The Anon" and "The Garden wall" merged to form Genesis.
This fantastic show will be at the Ben Travers Theatre where we will be able to put on a unique performance of Genesis.
Imagine getting your photograph on the grounds outside the famous school where Genesis formed. For the dedicated fan, this opportunity to visit the school and soak up the atmosphere is a must!
We will be playing many favourite songs from the Gabriel era. All of the costumes, masks, and theatrics from those fantastic Gabriel years will be featured in an evening of nostalgia and excitement. In addition, to ensure we please all fans of Genesis we plan to include some classic songs from the Collins era too. The concert will be 3 hours long with a break in the middle. Drinks may be purchased in the interval

HOW TO BUY TICKETS - GENERAL
- We have sold 42% of the tickets for the show to date (56% including reservations). This percentage will be updated every month.
- Tickets are £15 each. All profits will go to the very worthwhile charity "help for heroes".
- After the event we will be presenting the charity with the profits. There are no concessions.
- You may purchase any number of tickets currently (one month before the concert we reserve the right to restrict the maximum number of tickets per party but right now they are unlimited).
- All tickets will be numbered. Your party will have a lead person whose name will appear on a guest list for the door and your ticket number and name will be checked against the guest list.
- Simply calculate the total price based on 15 pounds per ticket.
- Tickets can be posted or emailed at the request of the purchaser. Emailed tickets will be in the form of a pdf file which can be printed off and should of course be taken along on the night as proof of purchase.
1) BANK TRANSFER/SINGLE BANK TRANSACTION
Use online banking to make a bank transfer or other single transaction. Please email mail@thebookofgenesis.co.uk for details.
You can buy as many tickets as you like, simply make a transaction for the full amount in multiples of 15.
If you do this, please send an email to mail@thebookofgenesis.co.uk with your full name, the number of tickets purchased and any transaction details and preference for post (in which case give your address) or emailed tickets
.
2) CHEQUE
You can send a cheque in the post for the full amount for the total number of tickets you want made payable to "Book of Genesis".
Please email mail@thebookofgenesis.co.uk for the address to send the cheque to. Accompanying this please state your full name and address if you want us to post you back the tickets or your email for us to email them to you for you to print out if you prefer.
3) CASH AT A GIG
Buy tickets from the band at any gig between now and the concert from the band.
4) PAYPAL
Use paypal sending payment to
Account: howard.boder2@honeywell.com.
(We will transfer monies to the book of genesis charity account)
If you use paypal, please send an email to mail@thebookofgenesis.co.uk with your full name, number of tickets purchased and any transaction details.
We will then post or email tickets (your choice). For people travelling outside of the UK we will email tickets only unless this presents a major problem to you.
Important: If you use paypal please add £0.70 per transaction. Thus if you buy one ticket with paypal, then pay £15.70, for two tickets £31.40 and so on. This is to cover the paypal charges so that the charity does not lose money on the transactions and is at cost.
5) PAY ON THE DOOR
There may be some tickets available on the door for cash sales. Obviously for a show like this it makes sense to prebook tickets and we expect the show to sell out but there may be some tickets remaining on the door for latecomers. We will keep this page updated on ticket sales status so you will know if you are likely to get in on the door in this way.
If for some reason you are unable to book with any of the above methods, send us an email and we will hopefully be able to come to some other arrangement.
Please book early to avoid disappointment! You can read up more about the charity and Charterhouse school below.
WHERE TO STAY
In case you need to stay overnight, there are a number of hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Guildford, Godalming and surrounding areas. It is a very nice place to make a weekend of it. The concert does not finish late deliberately to give people a chance to travel there and back more easily but for some overnight accomodation will be required. Suggested websites for this include:
