I remember that most of the fans never got their money back and Jarre heard (not always friendly) comments by fans on this "incidient" even many years later when he played concerts in Germany...
When JMJ played in Düsseldorf in 2016, IIRC, there was an interview on the German radio with a contest where they raffled some free concert tickets. The 1994 debacle was also discussed and JMJ stated that people that still had their 1994 ticket could exchange it for a 2016 tickets.

Yes, I remember that, it was also mentioned in some local newspapers in 2016. When we did a fanmeeting in 2013, we used some old Düsseldorf tickets as tickets for the meeting. The fans seemed to like this idea...

It's always the promotor, isn't it?
Rod Gunner, the promoter of 1988's Destination Docklands - similar story, wasn't it?

I know this situation is pretty sucky for those that had to go through this, but this is admittedly pretty hilarious that they allowed this

I don’t know where I read it but is it true that Some of the European shows were recorded for an live album but there were Some problems with the audio that they couldn’t use it?

Barcelona sounds pretty good though. I remember recording the audio on cassette for my walkman. It's a damn shame the video doesn't have Chronologie 1, the first Chronologie 4 and tracks cut... If the full concert gets a proper, full release on DVD/BR, I will shut up about other DVD releases
I don't know about the other concerts, Seville was obviously recorded and broadcast, but that's all, as far as I know.

I totally agree. I never understood why they cut this brilliant opening with Chronologie 1. What a sin!
I also don't know about other concerts, just remember the "Digisequencer" rehearsal in Berlin on arte.

Don't know if they really exchanged tickets, at least it was mentioned in the media. Even if they did, I don't think there were many people who did this...

Mont Sant Michel, Berlin, Brussels, Versailles, Wembley, Tours, were recorded, as we can see on the audience recordings.

I mean there were several professional cameras on stage.
